There was silence.

Then, Stella suddenly laughed.

She laughed maniacally but with tears in her bloodshot eyes. “She’s scared of heights, but I’ll die…”

Weston frowned and turned away without looking at her anymore.

It felt as if a huge rock was weighing down on his chest.

He had never felt such heavy emotions before. He said hoarsely, “They just want money. You’ll be fine.”

He was sure that he wouldn’t let anything happen to her.

“What if their intention is to kill me?”

Stella’s eyes were empty as she looked at him. “Weston… I’m still pregnant. Do you know that the choice you’re making is one that will kill me?”

The man paused before gritting his teeth to say, “No. I’ll definitely save you, just not now.”

Having said that, he repeated, “Trust me, Stella. I won’t let you die.”

Stella said nothing. She didn’t respond either. Her gaze gradually looked lifeless as she laughed dejectedly.

At the edges of the roof, the kidnappers exchanged glances and nodded at each other. One of

    Stella said nothing. She closed her mouth and looked straight at the kidnapper. Then, she looked up at the couple holding onto each other and smiled. “Weston, I told you that I would die, and that they never had the intention of letting me live. Why won’t you believe me?”Having said that, before anyone could react, Stella’s expression suddenly changed and she took a step back, swiftly attacking the kidnapper’s eyes.“Ah!” the kidnapper yelled. He had strengthened his hold on Stella so they were swaying together over at the edge.“What are you trying to do, you mad woman?!”Stella smirked, looking resolute. “Didn’t you want me to die? Since I’m going to die either way, let’s die together!”“What are you doing? Stop!”“Stop? Have you ever given me a chance to live? Rather than being taken away by you guys and tortured and humiliated to death, I’d rather take you down with me here!”The kidnapper had never thought she would be this insane to want to perish together. “Don’t be rash

    The rooftop was eerily quiet.Weston stared at his empty hands, refusing to believe he had just watched Stella fall down…He didn’t even manage to grab the hem of her clothes.The world suddenly fell silent.Guinevere’s panic shouts rang beside his ears, but Weston didn’t hear them. His eyes looked void of emotion as if he couldn’t see or hear. His chest felt empty.Then, an overwhelming pain took over, hurting him so much that he found it difficult to breathe.This feeling felt so foreign that even he didn’t understand it. Why… were his eyes red like a madman’s?‘Stella…‘Stella…’For a moment there, Weston felt detached from this world. He could only hear a woman’s screams getting sharper and sharper, laced with a fear she couldn’t suppress…“Weston! Weston Ford, what are you doing?!”Guinevere’s eyes widened in shock as she hugged her stomach and shouted hysterically like a madwoman. “Quick! Hurry up and seize him! Hurry!”…The howling wind whistled beside her ears.T

    Even if they were curious, no one had the guts to give the Ford family trouble.Ahn City was a city of profound history where many wealthy families resided.There was an urban rumor that any wealthy family in Ahn City’s upper-class society could easily overwhelm an entire city.Weston’s wealth was national level, so it wasn’t difficult for him to suppress this incident.At the family manor, a white Bentley slowly entered the compound.Weston was going through some documents while Guinevere sat beside him.They were only inches apart, but it felt like there was a huge gap between them.Guinevere had grown up with Weston and knew that he was an aloof man who rarely showed emotion.The incident that day was still vivid in her mind.Weston had chosen her, just as she hoped.And Stella was no longer a threat, so she had nothing to worry about anymore.She could have put away her unbridled suspicion and be with him now, but…Guinevere looked conflicted. Whenever she stopped think

    At the Ford family manor, Weston could sense the unusual atmosphere the instant he stepped inside the house.The Ford family had been waiting for them. Each person wore varying expressions, but they all looked grim and somewhat disapproving.Weston ignored their scrutiny and took his seat. Guinevere had wanted to enter the house holding onto Weston’s arm, so she felt momentarily embarrassed. However, she quickly regained her composure and sat down beside Weston.She smiled modestly and greeted her seniors at the table. “Sorry to have kept everyone waiting. We were running a little late.”Guinevere was a genuine socialite. Her conduct and etiquette were commendable, and she carried herself in a noble way.This was a Ford family banquet, and Guinevere was considered part of the family now.“It’s alright. If I’m not mistaken, your due date should be soon.” The person who spoke was Weston’s mother, Wendy Thomas. She smiled kindly and added, “It’s better to be careful during your co

    Even the other family members looked over with confusion. Guinevere and Weston’s marriage was acquiesced by both families. At first, no one had urged Weston about it because they thought that Weston had other plans as he usually did.But now, rather than having other plans, it seemed like he was having other thoughts instead.Finally, it was Chris who broke the silence. “I’ve been hearing rumors lately. Do you have other considerations in mind?”When he said this, nosy people who enjoyed conflict got involved. “I’ve heard some nasty rumors claiming that Weston… has a woman on the side!”“Xavier! Who allowed you to speak?!” Chris growled at him, visibly enraged.By another woman, Xavier meant Stella.Outsiders may not be aware, but Chris couldn’t be deceived, and neither could his dear brother, Xavier, be kept in the dark as well.Xavier was Chris’s younger brother, but he was only a few years older than Weston.As Xavier was a child Old Mr. Ford had during his golden years, h

    The atmosphere at the dining table mellowed down.Xavier looked back and forth between the two with mild interest. He let out a soft chuckle laced with sarcasm but didn’t let anyone catch him in the act.Weston didn’t answer. He merely reached forward to ladle Guinevere a bowl of soup.However, his hands paused in midair for a moment as an untimely scene flashed through his mind.He remembered Stella’s back profile as she busied herself in the kitchen.This table was filled with dishes prepared by a renowned chef so it was of significant standard, but Weston suddenly remembered Stella’s dishes instead…She had never made anything too fancy, and they were mostly average home cooked meals. However, each dish tasted great and he wondered where she had learned to cook like that.Weston had to socialize a lot so he rarely ate at home.At first, none of the dishes Stella made were to his liking. He lost interest after glancing at them and only took a few bites to please her.When th

    Guinevere’s cautious and confused expression made Wendy laugh on the inside.However, she didn’t show it. She merely patted the back of Guinevere’s hand with a kind look on her face. “No way. We’ll be family soon, so I won’t be as courteous toward you as I would with guests. But if you mind it…”Guinevere was surprised and quickly said, “I don’t mind. I just thought you had some misunderstanding toward me… I’m sorry.”She looked Wendy in the eyes, but then averted her gaze out of guilt. Then, she picked up a glass and held it to her lips as if trying to conceal her emotions.…On the balcony, Chris drew the curtains of the French windows. Weston snorted a laugh. “Are you feeling guilty? Afraid that someone would overhear?”When it was only the two of them, Chris no longer put on airs, but instead looked exhausted. “I know you feel aggrieved about this… But Gwen loves you so much, and the child… it still has the Ford family’s blood flowing in its veins, and you’re somehow related…

    Ben stared at her in confusion. He had never expected Stella to make a request of him.Moments later, he came to a realization. “Mr. Sealey has agreed to Mr. Ford’s suggestion. He will change his name and relocate to another city with you. Mr. Ford will also bear all of his medical bills henceforth, including a compensation fee for you.”Then, he reported an acceptable number.The corner of Stella’s mouth twitched. This amount was enough to make her the richest person in small towns. “Since Roger has agreed, we’ll go with that.” She closed her eyes before abruptly opening them again. “There’s one person I’d like to see.”“Who?”“The culprit who had kidnapped me that day.”Ben fell silent as he stared at her with conflict in his eyes.Stella found it amusing. “What? Are you afraid that I’ll insist on going through with my evil desires and scheme against Guinevere?”She understood well that Weston wouldn’t believe her. No one in the world would anymore.No matter how many time

    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.
