Matt took Stella’s phone. He then packed her clothes inside a backpack and headed outside her room. Emma came face to face with him with a weird grin on her face. “You chose to go, huh?” She noticed the backpack in his hand. “Do you think you are going to have a happy life with her?” She continued.
“Be careful, Matt.” His mother shouted. She was uncertain whether she should tell him about the ‘plan’ or not. “Get off my way.” He pushed Emma’s shoulder as he walked past her.
“How is he?” Stella and John asked the doctor as he left Matt’s room. “He is getting better. Soon, he will gain his consciousness.” He informed them with a comforting smile. “Can I see him now?” She asked him. All she wanted at that time was holding his hand. “Yes, sure.” She held her tears back as she entered the room. Her tears finally escaped from her eyes when she grabbed his hand and placed it on her heart. “We are waiting for you, my hero.” She then travelled his hand down to her belly. “When are we going to pick a name for our baby?
Her popping eyes remained fixed on the phone as she tried to process what she just heard. “What’s going on?” Matt asked her as he looked back and forth at her and then at the road.“H-he told me that he is in p-pain.”She stuttered before finally looking back at him. “We have to see him.” He suggested. “I’m exhausted baby, let’s go home first.” She threw her hair back as she closed her eyes. “Why is he acting like that? I don’t want to meet his weird gazes for now.” She wondered why Jo
The ride home was pretty silent. “How did you meet each other?” Stella finally broke the awkward atmosphere. She looked at Sara who was sitting near her in the backseat. “We have been chatting online for a period of time and then we started developing feelings for each other.” Whenever she pronounced a word, Sara would look at John as if she was waiting for him to help her finish the sentence. “Oh, that’s so lovely.” She reacted with a smile. &
Matt rushed inside the hospital, running his fingers through his hair. He noticed John sitting on a chair looking down at his phone. “Where’s she?” Matt yelled. “She’s inside. I was waiting for the doctor to come out. Here she is.” He pointed at the doctor who was walking towards them.“Who’s her partner?” the doctor said. They both looked at each other before he quickly spoke. “It is me. How is she? She is pregnant. Is the baby alright?” He asked breathlessly.
“Alright, I’ll be there soon.” Matt hung up and looked at Stella. “Babygirl, don’t be stubborn and do as I tell you. Once you get home with John, lock all the doors and windows. The bodyguard will also protect the house, you will be safe there.” He pressed his forehead against hers.“I’m really scared. I don’t want you to go…by yourself.” He grabbed her cheeks as he gave her a weak smile. “I’ll be fine, I promise. We will just have a deal.” He comforted her.
“Why did you let him go?” Emma threw the glass of wine against the wall. “What if they change the country and we don’t find them again?” She asked. “Don’t worry, I’ll find them everywhere they go. Besides, he can’t leave his mother here.” He smirked as he left the room.Emma looked back at Mrs. Garcia; she gave her a dirty look before throwing her hands at her. “G-get off me, E-emma.” She struggled to push her away. “Why Matt never loved me? It’s your fault.” She yelled. “You are crazy. I should’ve never chosen you as a wife for my son.”
It was already 1 am when Stella reached her destination. “I hope I can run away from that jerk.” She walked in the freezing night to the door and knocked on it several times. She wrapped her arms to her chest as she looked around the area. “Stella!” Eric exclaimed as he swung the door open. “What the hell are you doing here?” Emma appeared behind him. “I’m here to make a deal too.” “Come inside, baby.” He pulled her insi
“I lost everyone I love, my mother, the girl I love and our baby.” Matt said with a flat, monotone voice as the cops dragged Emma outside the house. “You still didn’t lose Stella.” He shook him from his collar. “I’ll go to my room.” Matt walked upstairs while rubbing the heel of his palm against his burning chest.“What about the funerals?” John asked but the other man didn’t respond. “Okay, I’ll take care of
“Remember when I first saw you.” John’s mouth twisted. “You sat beside the gas fireplace while I studied your perfect features. At that time, I couldn’t blame Matt for cheating on his wife.” He sighed, looking at Stella’s hand as he traced imaginary circles across them. “I ended up falling in love with you and I made you cheat on him in return. I know I’m such a coward, but what else could I have done to control my feelings for you?”Stella stared at him in silence, before he left the swimming pool and sat beside her. “I know you have nothing to say, Stella. Believe me, you will have many things to talk about after I earn your heart.”
Nancy walked inside the living room with a cup of tea. “Here!” She handed it to Matt. “I’m not in the mood to drink anything.” Matt said, not moving his eyes from the laptop. “The tea will calm your nerves and help you focus more…You didn’t eat anything at all. Please Matt, drink this.” Nancy insisted and he finally looked up at her, taking the cup in his hands. “So, did you find something interesting?” Nancy averted her gaze towards the laptop’s screen.
The stars were nonexistent in that cloudy night which rolled in covering the last of the twilight sky. Moments later, the grey clouds blanketed the sky, hiding the full moon which fought to shine through them. “It’s been hours since we are looking for them. Let’s go back tomorrow, Matt.” Nancy raised her head to the dark sky.“I should find her, Nancy. I can’t sleep, knowing she is somewhere in the middle of the ocean.” Irritated, Matt slammed his hand against the closest surface. “Matt.” Nancy approached, staring at him with a dismayed look on her face. “I’m as worried as you are, but now the chances to find them are low. Look at around you.” She pointed at the dark ocean.
“Fuck this!” Matt cursed. “He is forcing her to talk.” He shoved the phone back in his pocket. He walked back and forth, starting to lose his patience. The security agent ran back to Matt and Nancy. “Here you go. You take this yacht.” He led them, as the rain got heavier. “I’ll never let go of her. Never ever!” Nancy heard Matt repeating to himself. She placed her hand on his arm, giving him a warm smile. “You will have her between your hands soon.”
The maid swung the door open. “Is mom home?” Nancy asked as she rushed inside with Ian. “In the living room, miss.”Ian burst into tears when he saw his grandparents. He jumped into Addison’s arms, sobbing against her chest. “Why are you crying, little man?”Addison stroked his hair, before she looked up at Nancy.“John kidnapped Stella.” Nancy informed. “My dear daughter.&rd
Stella walked up to Matt. She rolled his wheeling chair to her direction and sat on his desk. He smirked, watching her body moves which never knew the meaning of hesitation. “Call her to your office!” She ordered. Above all, her soft voice added more attraction to her dangerous looks.“Okay, boss.” Matt grabbed the phone, placing one hand on Stella’s bare thigh. “Diana! Call Pamela to my office.” He put the phone back to its place, throwing his back against the will and winking at his wife with a serious face.Seconds later, Pamela appeared in the room with her usual high heels.
Ian held his parents hands to both sides as they walked off the hospital. “Who is that woman who died, daddy?” Ian asked. Meanwhile, John came out behind them, shoving his hands inside his pockets. Matt kneeled down, cupping his son’s cheeks. “Forget about her, Ian. It’s over now.” Ian hugged him tight. “You will come with us, right?” Ian mumbled against Matt’s chest. Matt looked up at Stella as he got up. The latter’s mouth curved up into a smile. “Let’s go home, little man.” Matt pushed Ian inside the car. He then turned around, meeting Jo
Stella’s phone rung, while John was driving his way towards Stella. He picked up, rolling his eyes. “What do you want from Stella at this late hour?” John roared. “I’m calling her to tell her that Nancy is living tonight. I’m at the airport and I couldn’t hold her back.” Leo informed. “I’m quite busy for Nancy’s shit. Stella and Ian got kidnapped.” John raged. “Wait, what? I-” John hung up before Leo finished his sentence.“Damn!” Leo cursed. He then ran after Nancy until he caught her up. “Nancy!” He yelled. &ld
Matt and Stella stared at John in silence. The latter approached them with his glaring eyes fixed on the girl he loved. “What about the beautiful time we had together?” John asked, tightening his fists.“That was a mistake, John. Stella had always been mine and no one can stand against our love.” Matt said, holding his chin up. Meanwhile, Stella glanced at John with watery eyes.“It’s my fault that all the people who love me are in pain.” Stella pressed her hand against her chest. “John, Nancy and Matt. My mistakes keep hurting you.” Stella averted her gaze to Matt.
