After a while, Stella excused herself to go to the restroom. Matt got up from his seat, but John grabbed his arm. “Be careful.” He smiled at him before walking off.
He was waiting near the women restroom door. As Stella got out of there, he pinned her against the wall. She flinched at the sudden touch as he examined her beautiful surprised face.
“Matt! What the hell are you doing here?” He chose to keep silent and just kiss her irresistible lips, she quickly resp
Stella got inside the tub and sat down. Meanwhile, Matt sat at the edge and started soaping her slowly. “I know you love it when I wash your long hair.” She closed her eyes as he rubbed her scalp. “Hum.” She hummed.He grabbed the cup and poured warm water over her hair. After that, he worked in the soap and washed it slowly and gently while she relaxed her body. He kept doing that firmly for a while, then he used the sprayer and cup once again to rinse it thoroughly making sure to protect her face from water running over it.
Addison stood up and was ready to leave the room but Stella grabbed her arm. “What about your financial situation?” She asked. “I don’t care about money. Your happiness is all what matters now.” She patted Stella’s hand. “Matt and I are here for you, mom. Besides, even his best friend is rich and handsome.” “Why are you mentioning his friend?” she asked confusingly. “I want him and Nancy to get to know each other.”
“Don’t you think that I have to know about it now?” Matt asked in concern as his mind raced a mile a minute. “No, just be patient please.” Stella squeezed his hands tightly. “That won’t be another silly plan of yours, huh?” HE pinched her cheek with his free hand. “No for god’s sake. Trust me Matt.” The ponytailed girl rolled her eyes. “But how are we supposed to get inside if we are not invited?” The idea of forbidding them from entering inside crossed his mind. “Don’t worry about that. Mom will be in charge of this.” She paused for a second. “All you hav
Stella carried the bouquet of flowers and rolled her arm around Brandon’s as they walked towards the guest room. “Dad, I’ll miss you despite the fact that you never loved me.” She stared at him but he avoided eye contact with her. “We will visit each other, why would you miss me? Besides, I love you, it’s just that-” She interrupted him. “It’s just that money is way more important than me.” She sang annoyingly. He finally looked at her with trembling lips. “No Stella-” “Dad we arrived.” The two guards swung the gate open. She walked smiling looking at the crowd as the long train covered the floor behind her. Meanwhile Brandon’s head was hanged down. “He forced me.” She heard him mumbling.Her smile faded away as she looked back at her dad tilting her head in confusion. “What-” she was cut off by the sound of clapping and cheering as the guests rose to their feet to watch the procession. She looked ahead with fake smiles while the Wedding March played.He walked her down until they re
Flawed Resolutions II: Out of the BlueAt Garcia hotel,“Mrs. Addison, there is a woman who wants to talk to you.” Leila informed Addison as the latter was looking down at some files. “Let her in.” Few seconds later, a woman entered the office with a smile. “How can I h
“Come on, Ian. Time to go to bed.” He grabbed her hand as they headed to the bathroom. Meanwhile, Matt informed the others about the mysterious letter. “It could be one of his friends playing a prank on him.” Nancy guessed. “But it’s clear that the handwriting belongs to an adult.” Stella came back in rush, pressing her hands against her head. “What the hell is going to happen to my son?” She hyperventilated. Matt realized how terrified she was and proceeded to calm her down. “No one can hurt you or our son since I’m alive.” He hugged her as they sat back on the couch. She pressed her head against his chest, hugging his waist.
At night, “The food was really delicious.” Matt said as he lay on the big pillow. They were all chilling around the campfire when Nancy decided to place her head on John’s shoulder. However, the latter adjusted himself which made her pulled away. The two others examined their interaction, before Nancy stood up and walked frustrated near the shore.“Mommy, I’m feeling asleep.” Ian yawned. “Let’s sleep.” They both walked hand in hand inside the tent.
“Last time, a lady visited me at the hotel. She said she knows the former owner of the hotel and then as I informed her about her death, she told me that she knows you and Matt, so I gave her your cell phone numbers.”“She knows both of us, as well as Mrs. Garcia? What was her name?” Stella sat up, followed by a confused Matt. “What is going on?” He whispered. She raised her hand as a ‘wait’ sign.“She refused to tell me. Oh, one more thing, she was acting really strange, smirking and whispering to herself something I couldn’t hear.” She informed. “
“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.
