When it came to this, Weston and Lucas had the same opinion.

“If there’s nothing important, don’t go to places like that anymore,” he warned.

Stella knew her identity now so she naturally wouldn’t rebut him. “Okay. I understand.”

She would remember this day. The last day of October.

On this day, next year, she would be able to escape the cage that had entrapped her.

She would be counting down the days from then. At the thought that she would be leaving Weston, she felt like she could breathe again.

She didn’t know where he was taking her.

The car window wound down, and she looked out at the view.

Seeing her hair was in a mess because of the wind blowing, he rolled up the window a little bit. “Be careful. Don’t put your head out.”

He was reminding her like he was taking care of a child.

She cupped her chin with her palm and through the reflection of the window, she could make out his side profile.

It was only a reflection, yet she could see his perfect jawline.

She stared at

    From the outside, it was difficult to believe that such a lowborn place was the birthplace of Musx, a revered and renowned international brand of musical instruments.Stella wasn't sure if it was psychological, but as she came in, everything around her seemed so sacred.From the outside, nothing looked unusual. The building materials were half wood and half cement, devoid of any sense of design. Undoubtedly, it looked a bit nondescript.As they walked through the gate, they saw a few apprentices grinding wood in the yard.Musx’s founder was now an elderly man with a peculiar temper.He accepted apprentices, but he had strict standards, requiring them to complete all of the steps without the assistance of others.So, when anyone entered, their eyes would be feasted on the sight of an army of apprentices doing laborious work. The minute Weston and Stella walked in, a woman in a dress came to welcome them. “Mr. Ford, Mr. Kennedy is resting inside. Please follow me.”She was an ol

    “Mr. Kennedy, Mr. Ford is here.”The woman pulled apart the curtains to the room and yelled.Stella and Weston stood outside, waiting together.Suddenly, a deep voice came from inside. “Let him wait for a bit. I still have some unfinished business.”The woman put down the curtain and gazed at Weston apologetically. “Mr. Kennedy is still not done yet. You may have to wait for a while.”She was in charge of welcoming guests there and she knew that they couldn’t make customers like Weston wait for too long.Although Mr. Kennedy was weird, there were some people even he couldn’t afford to offend.Artists like them could have their temper, but at times, in front of money and power, they had to to lower themselves.Weston, on the other hand, was quite easygoing.He shot a glance at Stella and asked, “Do you want to take a walk?”The woman could tell that Weston had come mainly for Stella and was focussing all his attention on her. “Ms. Steele, you’re interested in my dress, aren’t

    Although they were smiling and treating her politely, they had every right to look down upon a home wrecker liked her.Stella shut her eyes and released a sigh. Instantly, her mood was gone.Weston could tell something was off with her because ever since she heard Guinevere’s name, she had been keeping quiet.After the woman left, he suddenly grabbed Stella’s wrist and whispered, “I’m not married yet.”After reuniting, this wasn’t the first time he had told her this.At first, Stella thought he was just lying to her but now as she gazed into his eyes, she knew he was being honest.  But she was devoid of feelings. "Why are you telling me this?" she questioned quietly. "Do you want me to give the two of you a present or do you want me to attend your wedding?"Asides from all that, she doesn’t know why he would tell her these.Sure enough, his face fell.He stood up and stared at her steadily.Before he shifted his gaze away, there weren’t any emotions in his eyes.Not long la

    Any woman in her position would feel the exact same thing.She was the home wrecker, and she could feel the names and labels that others were bestowing on her.Although they didn’t show it, they must have looked down at her.She really wanted to get out of this suffocating situation, especially in front of a professional she admired.Mr. Kennedy looked at her before saying, “It’s Ella, right? Sure. Since Weston asked me, I won’t question anything. Come here.”Stella hadn’t processed it yet and subconsciously glanced at Weston.He was standing next to her, helping her arrange her clothes. “Follow him. Don’t worry about the rest.”As though knowing her concerns, he lowered his head and whispered next to her ears, “No one will say a word here. Don’t worry. Go and pick a piano.”At that, she pursed her lips and followed him.But she seemed a little hesitant, as if afraid of something.The woman in the gown maintained her elegant posture throughout and murmured to Weston next to h

    Stella set the cup down, moved up to the piano, and carefully sat down.The piano was ancient, and it paled in comparison to the high-end beautiful instruments shown outside.An off-key tone could be heard as she gently placed her fingers on the piano keys, .She scrunched her eyebrows, said nothing, and began to play a simple rendition of “Ode to Joy.”It wasn’t that good because the notes were off-key.Before she could finish the whole song, Mr. Kennedy interrupted, “Weston said you learned piano before. How can you mess up such an easy song?”“I’m sorry. I haven't really mastered the techniques.”"I won't build instruments for those who can’t play them," Mr. Kennedy scorned. "No matter how excellent the instrument is, you can't release its full potential if you're incompetent on it. People would laugh if they find out you played on my piano."To him, the piano wasn’t merely a lifeless contraption, but a life that contained a soul.He would rather destroy a piano than give i

    Her eyes were crimson, and the old guy in front of her appeared to sense the loss and battle raging within her heart during the brief seconds they shared.People who loved art appeared to have pure hearts. Stella, too, wished she could maintain her innocence, but...“The me now really don’t deserve your piano. I know you only make a few pianos in a year. You should leave it for those who deserve it more than me.”Seeing her persistence, Mr. Kennedy waved his hand. “Alright. You can go out.”Stella shut the door and the minute she turned around she saw Weston waiting for her in the corridor.Seeing that her eyes were red, he frowned and walked to her. “Why are you crying?”He gently wiped the tears off her face and said in a heavy tone, “What did Mr. Kennedy say to you?”She shook her head. “Nothing.”Not believing what he heard, Weston walked past her, trying to push the door open.“What are you doing?!” She immediately pulled his hands.He glared coldly and in a chilling ton

    They had agreed to be with each other for a year.Throughout this period, she had to behave like how she had before.Although Stella knew she couldn't entirely play the exact woman she was, and Weston knew they couldn't go back to the way things were, he would still take it if she was ready to put on an act.“Nothing. I'm simply curious. You appeared pressed while answering the phone earlier." She knew how to silence him by bringing up topics he doesn't want to discuss.Weston understood that she knew the call earlier was about Guinevere, and she had deliberately brought it up because she didn’t want him to continue any further.The man smiled. In fact, instead of showing any anger, he even caressed her head. “You’re bold now.”It was the second time he had said that about her.She propped up her chin with her hands and turned to the window.As they passed by a road, she suddenly laughed out loud.“What are you laughing about?” He stared at her through the front mirror.She p

    Stella gazed outside the window, feeling uneasy.He should’ve made a concession to her, but from the expression on his face, he didn't appear to be feeling remorseful.Stella’s face darkened.In the end, she still couldn’t see through him.She was too naïve to think that she could play mind games with him.Weston had lost all mood to take her around, driving straight back to the mansion instead.Joan approached them as soon as they entered the home. "Someone is searching for you at the old mansion, Mr. Ford. They were undoubtedly in an emergency and couldn't reach your phone."To help Stella choose a piano, he had moved all his work to the next day so no one could bother them.When he heard this, he didn’t say a word but walked to the balcony and answered the phone.On the other end, he heard a lady screaming.“Weston come back now! Guinevere lost her mind. She wants to choke Zachary to death!”Wendy was hysterical, overwhelmed by the jumbled cries of women, children, and th

    Stella had rarely ever woken up before him.He had always been terrifyingly strong, but their lovemaking last night must have consumed a lot of his energy, leaving him so tired that he was still sound asleep.She stared at him and suddenly felt like doing something naughty. She pinched his nose and held her fingers there, trying to suffocate him. Unsurprisingly, he soon knitted his handsome brows and quickly woke up.He was surprised to see her mesmerizing eyes as soon as he woke up, which made him pause. He then took her hand into his and kissed it again and again.“Are you okay?” he asked with concern, remembering how wildly he ravaged her last night.She had only been willing to be intimate with him because she was under the influence of a drug, yet he had taken advantage of her and had his way with her over and over again last night.Stella did not speak. Seeing her like that made his expressions turn a little colder. He fell silent for a long time before he got up and sl

    The moment Stella saw him, she flew into his arms and clambered onto his body. She kissed him again and again, trying to search for his breath so she could explore his body even deeper. All she wanted was to let him extinguish the fire burning inside her.Half an hour had passed, and the effect of the drug on her body was its strongest now.Weston swallowed his saliva. Without any hesitation, he pinned her against the bathroom mirror and kissed her vehemently on her face, her shoulders, then her neck.Stella could not stop herself from letting out loud moans. The sounds she produced only drove Weston wilder. Even the corners of his eyes began to turn red now.Luckily, there was still a thread of reason in his mind. He pushed her away and, while panting heavily, asked her, “Who am I, Stella?”But Stella’s mind was occupied with her primal urges. She ignored his question and grabbed his shirt collar, saying, “Let’s do it…” The sight of her filled Weston with a desire to just give

    Weston paused, then simply replied, “Okay.”When he saw her changing into a pair of high heels, he followed her around and asked, “Where are you going?”“Oh, to a private concert.”Then she added, “If you’re going to spend the night here tonight, then please take care of Elias and Emma. But if you have to leave, I’ll ask Roger to come over instead.”“Don’t worry,” he said. “Just go out and enjoy yourself. I’ll be at home and take good care of the kids.”Stella paused suddenly, feeling inexplicably weird about what Weston had just said. It sounded like she was forcing him to stay at home and take care of the kids while she went out to have fun without a care in the world. She turned around to look at Weston, feeling like he was acting like a poor neglected housewife.She shook her head and tried to shake this terrifying thought out of her mind.When they arrived at the concert, Hayden offered his arm to her like a gentleman. They then walked into the private concert together, w

    Stella’s words rendered Weston speechless. She was right. He had been the one to agree to let Stella date other people, so he must seem like a fool saying all those things to her.He withdrew his hands and forced himself to calm down a little. “I have no intention to stand in your way,” he told Stella. “I was only worried about Elias and Emma. Since they’re also here, I think you need to take their feelings into consideration.”The children could sense the strained atmosphere between the adults, so they just waited patiently on the couch with Roger, occasionally poking their heads out to look at their parents.Seeing his kids like that, Weston slowly added, “I’m only here to see the kids, so both of you can go ahead with your date.”Stella said nothing and just took Hayden’s hand and left.When they got downstairs, Hayden glanced at her and asked, “Are you sure you want to just leave him like that?”“I don’t know,” Stella massaged the point between her brows. “I’m not sure wh

    Hayden Quirk arrived half an hour earlier than Stella did on their first date.“You’re much earlier than I expected,” he joked as Stella walked in.Stella was actually on time, but she still felt a little guilty when she saw him already waiting for her when she arrived.“The traffic is terrible today,” she said.“Don’t worry about it,” Hayden said, handing her the menu. “Mr. Ford expected me to wait for you for at least an hour.”“I seriously don’t know what you guys are up to,” she grumbled, exasperated, “but I hope it will at least be over soon. Just don’t drag it out and cause me any trouble.”She ordered a few dishes, then handed the menu back to him. Hayden took it from her, ordered a few more signature dishes that the restaurant was popular for, then looked at Stella with a faint smile.“Did you think this is all just a joke?” he asked.“What else could it be?”“I am serious about this,” he told her, his voice suddenly turning grave. “Since even Mr. Ford agreed that we s

    Weston raised his eyebrows at Ben’s words. “But he’s divorced. He has an ex-wife.”“What’s wrong with having an ex-wife?”Ben found Weston’s comment strange. “This man has good qualities. Upon investigation, he has a very good personality too. He was an active member during college. He also has an amazingly beautiful resume. It’s normal that a man like him has been married before… Besides, hasn’t Ms. Sealey been married before herself? She even has two children.”Weston’s expression turned cold at once. “Are you discriminating against her?”“I’m not.”Weston said, “Or do you think she can only find a divorced man for her second marriage?”Ben panicked. “I wouldn’t dare!”With Weston’s ridiculous amount of nitpicking, they could find no one that would match Stella.Hayden sat beside and quietly reviewed Weston’s latest psychological health report. As he turned the page, he suddenly said, “I’m actually a little interested in Ms. Sealey.”Hayden laughed a little and turned to Wes

    Stella opened her eyes and shot Weston a cold look. Then, she turned her head the other way.Weston did not touch her again. He knew she was probably angry with him, so he stayed silent.A few moments later, he reminded her, “Don’t be angry. That man is unreliable.”Stella propped her chin in her palm. “And what does that have to do with you?”Weston pursed his lips, setting his jaw in a tight line. He said, “I’ve promised to stop pestering you. It’ll be a promise. I’m fine with seeing you with another man, but at least find someone who makes me feel at ease.”“Why do I need your approval when I’m just looking for a date?” Stella found his words funny. “You’re just my ex-husband. Don’t you think you care too much?”Weston rubbed his brow, and his voice suddenly went cold. “If you don’t want me to keep pestering you like I just did, maybe you should listen to me.”Stella questioned, “Are you threatening me?”“No. I’m suggesting.”Stella was lost for words. Then, she suddenly

    Stella froze for a moment when she heard the voice. When she turned around, she saw that Weston had appeared behind her at some point.Weston stared at the man behind Stella with a cold gaze and an icy aura around him. Weston had always emitted a strong aura around him. Anyone who saw him would immediately be terrified because of his intimidating aura.The man froze for a moment at Weston’s sudden appearance. He took a step back and quickly steadied himself before greeting Weston, “Mr. Ford.”He still had the same calm and gentle look. “I’m sending Miss Cicily back.”“I know. Don’t ever show up in front of her again,” Weston told him. “You don’t have to send her back. Stay away from her.”It would be a little inappropriate for the man to act a fool at Weston’s straightforwardness, so he tugged at his collar and asked Weston with a polite smile, “Mr. Ford, you should give me a reason, shouldn’t you? I’m having a good time with Miss Cicily.”“You’re the one who thinks she’s having

    Stella smiled. It seemed like he had come prepared.Stella enjoyed chatting with the man. He was sincere and introduced himself properly as soon as they started chatting.The man was also a pianist and came from a scholarly family. Although not super wealthy, he was doing considerably well in the middle class. Stella would not need to worry about the quality of life with him, but that was about it. She certainly could not live a luxurious life.Stella had a good impression of him. She also talked to him a little more about piano music.Stella twirled her hair and smiled. She told him with a nice voice, “I’m sure Roger has already told you about my situation.”“I know.”The man looked at her gently and set the coffee in front of her. He said to her, “I’m very interested in you. I think we’re very suitable for each other. Our living standards nowadays have improved quite a bit.
