[Stella's POV]

"What a beautiful child. Is this my granddaughter?" An elderly woman who has a graceful and sweet smile appeared before me.

It was a stranger I had never met before. So I subconsciously hid behind my mother's skirt.

Victoria was annoyed by my timid action. She pushed me forward so the elderly woman could take a good look at me.

Being pushed forward made me expose. I immediately got scared. I get teary-eyed as soon as I gazed up.

The elderly woman softened her expression. "Don't be scared."

She then took a beautiful fluffy bunny from the maid. "Here. I heard that you turned three this year. I am sure girls at your age like these fluffy toys, right?"

My eyes were immediately drawn to the beautiful fluffy bunny.

The elderly woman laughed. "How adorable. It is a wonder how my stiff son and his stern wife are able to birth such an adorable daughter?"

Victoria behind me stiffened. But she chose not to answer.

Richard, my father who rarely speaks to me, let out a smile. "She

    Beep.Beep.Beep.The sound of the heart monitor was the first thing my brain recognized. Before I can think of anything, an excruciating pain came from my shoulder and my waist. I felt like I was run over by a truck.Then a series of memories of being crushed and turned over resurfaced in my mind.Agh.I think I just had a car accident.The memories just made me more aware of my condition. Every bruise on my body hurts.I wanted to open my eyes but I feel that my eyelids were very heavy.

    "No! You should call a nurse!" I yelled at him.After two days, my throat fully recovers and my appetite for food increased as well. However, that means I need to use the comfort room often.I mention it to Kane and this man insisted on carrying me all the way to the toilet.Although we have been intimate as a couple, we have never done the most intimate thing! Nor seen each other's body!"Put me down! Let the nurse assist me instead!""I can do it. Why call others? Can the nurse carry you?""There is a wheelchair! Use the wheelchair!""You have an able-bodied boyfriend at your side. Why not use him?"Who would use their boyfriend to go to the toilet?Despite my complaints, we arrived at the bathroom.He let me sit on the toilet. He crouched down and he was about to pull off my pajama when I stopped him with my free hand."I can handle this. You go out and wait outside." I said with a red face.I can't let him do this. Although he was my boyfriend, it was still embarrassing to let him

    "How are you feeling?" Layla asked as she feed me the pear she just peeled.I had no choice but to eat the piece that was pushed into my mouth."I'm doing fine. There's no need to visit me every day. Are you not busy?"Layla had been visiting me every day these past few weeks. This made me wonder if she ever went to work or attend class. "I am not busy. Eduardo gave me a leave of absence for a month.""Wow. He is a very generous employer. It must have been great dating the boss."Layla gave me a glance, "As if you are not dating a boss too."I coughed. I glanced at the 'boss' who was doing work not far from us.Kane noticed my gaze. He was holding his laptop and gave me a wink."...."I looked back at Layla. "Layla, since you are going to be free for a month. Can you accompany me here?""Am I not accompanying you?""No, what I mean is. You should sleep here.""....Kane is already sleeping here.""Exactly!

    The time of my discharge finally came.My shoulder was now healing and my waist have improved as well. I could move my left arm but I could not do some tedious tasks. Even holding chopsticks and a pen would make my left arm sour. The doctor said it would take another two months to completely heal my bones.My waist was the same. I could stand up but not stand for too long. I could use a wheelchair but staying on the bed for two months was more advisable.Actually, I could stay in the hospital for another two months. However, I don't like seeing Kane stuck here because of me. So it was better to go home and recuperate there.But on the day of discharge, Kane's face suddenly changed.He suddenly made a decision to let me stay in the hospital for a few more days.

    A.n: This chapter is fixed. ***** The day of the hearing finally arrived. Kane and Layla took me to the court. Knowing the Mckenzie's ways, the case was tightly kept under wraps. So no one came to attend except the parties involved. To keep the news sealed, the Mckenzie made sure that no reporters could get wind of it. Well, I don't really care if this matter spread or not. But it was better for this case to be solved quietly. I don't need unnecessary rumors. When I went inside, only Victora was present and some lawyers. Richard and Anna did not come. Victoria glared at me as if I owed her a huge debt. I ignored her and focused on the hearing. The hearing lasted for two hours. As expected the Mckenzie came prepared and their lawyer was great too. The trial ended with further investigation. Kane assured me that we would win this. This would be a battle of attribution and time. But as long as this case was ongoing, the Mckenzie had no choice but to let me go at the moment. T

The girls also came as well. I don't know how Paul got the news but he joined the party while bringing Wayne with him.It was a little celebration. The lively atmosphere made my gloomy mood improve.Right. I should not think about the Mckenzie family anymore.Now that I am legally independent, I could start focusing on my own path. I should build a strong foundation for my future career."Now that you are free from the Mckenze's influence, can you compete openly now?" Kate suddenly opened a topic that I am coincidentally thinking about. The girl's eyes lit up and waited for my answer expectantly. They seemed to be looking forward to this.I smiled, "Yes. Before, I was afraid I would alert the Mckensize family if I competed o

    In the dark-lit room, a knock sounded. After the sound of approval of the man in the dim room, the newcomer entered."Sir, it is indeed as what you said. After Ms. Stella had left the Golden Mansion, she moved to Young Master's condo. Right now, Young Master is currently staying in that condo together with Ms. Stella." The man who came in handed a folder to the man behind the desk.Tristan, who was wiping his wife's urn, paused. He eyed the document that was put on his desk.After a few breaths, Tristan reached out for the folder.The folder had pictures of a high-rise condominium building and its address. On the second and third pages were the photos of Kane and Stella entering and exiting the building. The woman was in a wheelchair while his son was pushing the wheelchair toward the elevator.Tristan narrowed his eyes at the sight of red hair. The striking ginger hair made Tristan's eyes hurt. He really detested red. Tristan put down the photos and continued wiping his wife's urn.

    Layla was surprised. Then she smiled wryly, "You heard that?""Not all of it. What's going on?" I rolled my wheelchair towards her.Layla sighed. "I did not plan to tell you this. Can't you just pretend you did not hear anything?""I am involved and I guess you are implicated because of me. This situation is affecting and burdening you. You should not shield me. I have the right to know."Layla sighed again. She looked like she was torn whether to say it or not. I said a few more words to convince her to tell me. Finally, under my stubborn gaze, Layla gave in."After your win the case, the Mckenzie hold a meeting with the other Golden Corps. They were angry that you won the case and suspected that we are helping you out. They especially questioned the Cruz family for their involvement. They demanded to have you be isolated from us and stop you from meeting us."Layla's face then changed. She angrily continued, "And that damn father of mine actually sided with them. He knows we are fri

    After listening for an hour, I came to believe that Kane did really visit me in those times as he told me some of the things he was concerned with. It seemed that he bottled it all up. Kane pouted, "When I came to visit you, aside from the first few times, you don't look like you missed me. You are happy with them. Especially with that person named Hugh. You are being too close to him. Are you sure he doesn't have a crush on you? Whenever your group hang out, he was always there." "Because he is part of the group. Don't worry about Hugh, I think he has a crush on Lilac." "Your dormitory friend? But they looked like they hate each other." "Didn't we also start that way?" Kane chuckled, "Right. It only changed when you played Cupid." I could not help but smile at the memory. Wait.... I slapped Kane's arm. "You are changing the topic. I am still angry at you." Although I said that, there was no really no anger in my heart anymore. I just wanted to make it difficult for Kane for

    My consciousness started to stir as I felt someone wiping my face. The wet towel then wiped my neck, arms, and hands. Although I am already aware, my body was numb and I couldn't move. I wasn't in the mood to bother about it. The one who was wiping my hands and face was so gentle in his movements, that I slowly fell to sleep afterward.The grumbling in my stomach woke me up. But the dizziness made me groan.I felt a movement beside me. That person gently brushed the hair away from my face."Dizzy?" His gentle voice was familiar but the aching in my head made me muddle-headed to think bout it further.I muttered, "Head...hurts..."That person massaged my head and spoke in a low voice, "You should drink a hang-over medicine. Here...." That person's voice was low and magnetic. It calmed my heart immediately.With my eyes closed, the man lifted me up until I was able to sit up from the bed. The man grumbled as he helped me drink, "....Paul made me drink you again, right? That man never l

    When I disappeared that year, the Cruz family suddenly break ties with the Golden Corp. Then they began attacking the Mckenzie family. There was a huge case involved regarding the murder of Mrs. Cruz. When I first heard about it, I was shocked. According to Denise, the Mckenzie family was behind the accident which caused Mrs. Cruz and the unborn child to die. I put the pieces together and understood why Uncle Tristan used such methods to threaten us. Although it was a bit unfair that I am the one receiving the scare of his threats, I still felt bad about it. It turned out that the Mckenzie was more disgusting than I thought. I don't want to admit that I came from that family. My parents were actually the person who caused so much pain to Kane's family. After knowing the truth, my anger towards Uncle Tristan and Kane dissipated a lot. I had become more obedient as a hostage which in return, Uncle Tristan gave me a bit more freedom.

    Three years later.... Many friends and families of the graduates came to attend the graduation. I have become one of the elite students who graduated with flying colors. I looked around the hall looking for familiar figures. "Stella Mary, congratulations." My classmate, Hugh, with a thick Russian accent, came to congratulate me. He was one of the friends I made here at the university. "Thanks, Hugh. Did your family come?" "They will arrive later. You know how my family always comes late." I laughed at Hugh's answer. "Stella Mary! Congratulations! I know you will come out on top of your course!" One of my dorm mates, Jamie, hugged me. She put the flowers she brought into my hands. "Hey, don't huggle Stella on your own. My turn." Lilac, who came after Jamie, pushed the latter away and hugged me. Jamie and Lilac were both of my dorm mates for three years.

    Snow was falling. As far as my eyes can see, the whole world was covered in a white blanket. Just where the heck am I? Am I in the north pole? I was unconscious the whole time. When I woke up, I was already in this small villa where snow was constantly falling. I bet I am in another country. Because there was no way it was snowing in the middle of summer. And the mountain of snow outside the window just tells me that I am in a cold country where snow was falling for a long time now. I hugged the thick overcoat and felt saddened by the fact that I am a hostage. "Young Miss. The adviser is here." Adviser? I moved my wheelchair and went to the study room. Fortunately, these people did not mistreat me even though my status was a hostage. They provided me with everything I need like food and clothing. But I couldn't get my phone or tablet back. Any kind of communication was cut off. The only people who were allowed to talk to me were these guards. Because I know that it was Uncle Tr

    Kane's eyes were bloodshot. "It is you who said to me that I should love only one woman who moved my heart. And it is Stella. I won't love anyone but her in this life. No matter if she was once a Mckenzie, I don't care. Even if you don't accept her, I will only love her. The Mckeznie? To hell with them. I don't care what you do to them. But you have to return Stella to me." Tristan's face turned dark as well. "You can love anyone but not her. She has a blood of a Mckenzie, a red-head-" "I don't care! I love her, Dad! To me, she is the woman I want to spend the rest of my life. If you can't accept that, then I won't force you. Just tell me where she is." "I can't. With her around, our fight with the Mckenzie will complicate you. You are already unstable. If she is by your side, it will affect your decision-" "I am not interested in fighting the Mckenzie. You can fight with them the way you want." "Kane...Are you saying you would rather choose that woman than our family?" Tristan

    ..... "Master, I have received a call from Young Master Kane. He is on his way here." The head butler came to report to Tristan. The head butler felt uncomfortable for lying to his young master. But he couldn't disobey his Master's orders. Tristan was standing on the window looking at the bright moon above. He did not react to the head butler's report and just continue to stare at the dark sky. When the head butler thought that he would be dismissed, the man asked. "Has she arrived safely?" The head butler bowed and answered, "Yes, Master. The people there called me a few minutes ago that they have arrived at their accommodations." "How long is it until her legs will heal?" "It's about a month, Master." "Don't let her come out of that place then. Watch her closely. If she ever made contact with my son, changed the address. I don't care which country she lives." The head butler hesitated a bit. "Master...I know I am going out of line by asking this, but is it really alright

    "I don't believe it as well. So I dig deeper into this so we can prove that the Cruz empire is innocent. However...." "But what?" Kane asked in a heavy tone. "Things got more suspicious. The more I investigate the more I found their movement fit all the missing pieces in the puzzle. I think someone higher up in your company has control over all of this. " "...Send me the details." Kane was having difficulties accepting all of this. He wouldn't believe it as long as he see it with his own eyes. He could not accept that his own people would do this to the people close to him. A while later, he received an email from Eduardo. Kane printed all of them and was stunned when he read every page. If it was other people, they wouldn't be able to find out the involvement of Cruz Empire in this incident. They were meticulous enough and did not leave any traces. However, Eduardo was not an ordinary person. He has the means to dig up and his intelligence could find the minute flaws that the
