“So, they’re going to New York?” Damian asked after hearing Fanny speak.“Yes, my spy at Esther told me that Marvin is leaving for New York on business tomorrow.”A smile spread across Damian’s lips. “Isn’t this the perfect time to take Stella? Ahhh... why did your spy only tell us now? I have to plan quickly.”Fanny narrowed her eyes, looking at Damian with disdain. “Do you think Marvin is stupid enough to leave Stella alone at home? Of course not, you idiot!” she spat sarcastically.Hearing this made Damian narrow his eyes in annoyance.“She’s going with Marvin to New York. My spy said Marvin’s secretary booked two plane tickets.”“Oh... really? So there’s no chance for us? Huhhh!” Damian exhaled harshly.“You really are an idiot! Has poverty lowered your IQ?” Fanny asked sarcastically, lifting her chin and standing with her hands on her hips, looking down on Damian.Damian, feeling increasingly irritated by her insults and the way she looked down on him, wanted to kill her. If he d
New York.Marvin embraced Stella from behind as the cold morning air nipped at their skin. His hand gently caressed Stella's swollen belly, where their baby was growing well.“Let’s have breakfast,” Marvin said, kissing Stella’s back.“Breakfast? This early?” Stella turned to face her husband. “It’s still so dark outside and you’re asking me to have breakfast? Are you… already hungry?” she asked, puzzled.Marvin opened his eyes and looked at Stella with a smile. “Yes, I’m very hungry since it’s been a while since I last touched you. So… give your husband a special breakfast.”Stella’s eyes narrowed immediately, glaring at her husband when she understood his meaning.Seeing Stella’s unfriendly expression only made Marvin smile wider. “We haven’t had our honeymoon yet, Darling. Let’s consider this trip as our honeymoon.”“Honeymoon with a belly this big? I’m already having trouble walking and I get tired so easily. How am I supposed to enjoy a honeymoon like this? Isn’t a honeymoon abou
Fanny's eyes narrowed sharply as she listened to the recording that revealed one of the reasons Marvin came to New York was to honeymoon and have fun together.“They just had sex this morning,” Damian said after the recording finished playing.“Shut up!” Fanny snapped sarcastically. Her chest heaved in anger at the thought of their intimacy.“Why are you angry just hearing about it? Considering Stella is pregnant, it means they’ve been doing it often. Having sex shouldn’t bother you this much.”“I said shut up!” Fanny yelled even louder. “I’ll make sure this morning’s touch will be their last! They’re going to spend time together enjoying their honeymoon, right?”A smirk spread across Fanny’s lips, grinning like a truly evil antagonist.“Let them enjoy today. This will be their first and last honeymoon. Because tomorrow, Marvin will be crying over Stella’s death and his happy days will turn to sorrow. Tonight, I’ll make sure Stella dies in a very gruesome way.”“Tonight? You plan to d
“I’m leaving now,” Marvin said after kissing Stella’s forehead. “Your dinner will be delivered soon, and the guard will arrive in about 30 minutes.”Stella smiled and nodded as Marvin left the room, leaving her alone.Not long after, Stella lay on the bed and started playing with her phone, but only for a few minutes as her eyes felt heavy and she wanted to close them. However, before she could, the doorbell rang.“Is that the guard Dariel found? Or the hotel staff delivering the food? They arrived so quickly,” Stella muttered with a confused expression. She got up from the bed and walked towards the door.Before opening it, Stella peeked through the peephole to see who was standing outside her room.“It’s the hotel staff with the food,” Stella muttered when she saw a man in a hotel uniform standing outside with his head lowered.Without suspicion, Stella opened the door and asked, “Are you here to deliver the dinner my husband ordered?”The man then lifted his head and smiled at Stel
“You’re finished, Stella!”“Let go!” Stella struggled, but Damian’s grip on her elbow tightened.“Let you go? Dream on!” Damian sneered. “But… I will let you go when your husband comes to save you. But by then, you’ll both die together. I can’t wait! Will you die hugging each other? Or holding hands like in those dramas? That would be so pathetic.”“Stop talking nonsense! You’re the one who will die first, Damian!” Stella retorted sarcastically.“Really? I don’t think so. You’ll die first. And I’ll laugh watching it. I’ll make sure you and your husband die by my hands! If I can’t be with my love, no one else can be with you! If not with me, then you can't be with anyone else.” Damian declared.Stella swallowed hard. She opened her mouth to speak, but stopped when she heard Damian’s phone ringing. Damian quickly took his phone from his pocket, glanced at the screen, and saw Fanny’s name. He swiped the green panel on the screen and put the phone to his ear."What are you doing there? Wh
"Becoming a guardian angel? Just keep that desire in your dreams because it will never happen. Why? Because Marvin will also die tonight!" Damian thought to himself. He looked at Fanny with a sorrowful gaze.Beep-beep...Damian reached into his pants pocket. It was Stella's phone that was vibrating. Marvin's name appeared on the screen."Who?" Fanny asked.Damian showed Fanny the phone screen he was holding. "Your prince. I want to play with him first. I have such a grudge because he helped Stella to bring me down. So, let him panic first, looking for his wife.""Do whatever you want, I don't mind.""Okay," Damian said, immediately sliding the red panel on Stella's phone screen."I'll rest in that room," Fanny said, pointing to the door of the room right next to her. "Tell me when Marvin gets here. You hold a grudge against Marvin, don't you? As for me, I'm annoyed with him! He dared to slap me because of this wretched woman. I want to see his devastated face when he sees his wife gon
"Ssshhh..."Stella, who was beginning to regain consciousness, opened her eyes, blinking slowly as she lifted her head. She looked around with blurred vision. She winced slightly at the pain in her cheek."Boss, she's awake," said a man.Damian immediately turned his gaze to Stella."Where am I?" Stella wondered to herself, feeling out of place."You're awake, Darling?" Damian asked with his arms folded.Stella began to focus on Damian, realizing she had been brought here by him.Meanwhile, Damian directed his gaze toward Fanny's subordinates. "You all go outside and keep watch. Let me know if the second prey arrives."He knew very well who Marvin was. The man would undoubtedly search for Stella relentlessly, and there was a good chance he would find her before Damian had a chance to inform him. Moreover, he had intentionally left Stella’s phone on, making it easier for Marvin to locate her."Yes, Boss."They all left, leaving the room with only Stella and Damian remaining."What do y
Marvin's eyes shot open when he heard Stella telling him not to look for her. His already growing worry intensified as he heard the sound of a slap. He was sure his wife was in trouble. His heart pounded, fearing the person holding Stella might hurt her.“Darling?” Marvin called out."Take my life instead of my husband's!"“What did she say?” Marvin mumbled as he heard Stella's trembling voice talking to someone he believed was in front of her. He also clearly heard Stella sounding like she was holding back tears.Slap!Marvin covered his mouth as he heard the slap, convinced that the man was hurting his wife.“Darling? Darling? Are you okay? What’s happening? What is that bastard doing to you?” Marvin asked, panicked."Your wife is with me. Find her, and let’s play here."“Da–mian? Is that you?” Marvin asked.But there was no answer to Marvin’s question because the man had already hung up.“Hello? Hello? Damian? Aarrrhh! Shit! Damn it!” Marvin cursed in frustration.“What should we d
