Perhaps these people had been pretending all the time and it was only now that their true faces were revealed.

What’s more, this happened right after her parents died. The funeral wasn’t even over yet, and they were already jostling to take off their masks.

Her parents were the most successful of the family.

As university professors, both their economic and social status came as a great benefit to the family. It was why they pretended to be nice so that they could deceive them.

However, the moment they were gone, that beautiful reality instantly burst like a bubble.

Stella was a young girl who had just turned adult. Everything was too hard for her to accept.

“No. Father and Mother were very close to Aunt Diana. I cannot let you deceive her like this!”

She took a deep breath; her heart twisted in anguish, but she suppressed her emotions and forced herself to put on a cold face. Looking at the people in front of her, she bravely said, “I will not be in cahoots with the likes of y

    Stella was locked up for the entire duration of the funeral.On the last day, it was Michael who came to unlock the door.“Stella, must you be so stubborn? As long as you keep this a secret, you won’t have to suffer.”Michael was the youngest son born to an aging Grandma and Grandpa Sealey. Naturally, he was spoiled.Although only ten years older than Stella, she had always respected him, believing that he was a decent gentleman. Unexpectedly, this was what he did to Diana.To make matters worse, the woman he had an affair with was her roommate.Stella closed her eyes. Her lips were chapped from dehydration. With a raspy voice, she said, “Why did you treat her that way?”“Our relationship is not what you think.”He suddenly knelt in front of her and raised her face. “Your look totally different from your parents, yet you are just as stubborn.” He relaxed his gaze. “That part is indeed a bit like a Sealey.”“I am a Sealey!”She pushed his hands away weakly. “How is Roger?”

    The villa shone with warm light through the veil of rain, yet Stella was walking alone in the dark and wet. When her heels were stuck in the grate, she took them off and trounced forward barefoot.The long road had no end in sight, and the rain showed no sign of easing. In the frigid cold, her body temperature dropped, and she suddenly lost all her energy.Suddenly a bright light flashed and came straight at her.Feeling stiff and frozen from the cold, she didn't even have the strength to run from the luxury car that sped toward her.How great if everything could just end now, she thought longingly.She was exhausted.Perhaps she had been too well protected in the past, but after her parents died, it was as if she had been completely drained of blood.Her mind was collapsing, and she couldn’t handle so many changes alone.It was simply too tiring to walk on the path without anyone else. However, there was no stopping, and she could only continue trudging down the road.The win

    Stella never talked to Weston about her family.Even though Ben had submitted a complete and detailed report of Stella’s background when they first got married, Weston didn’t pay much attention to it because he wasn’t interested at all. All he knew was that Stella had long severed all contact with her family and left her home with Roger before surviving on their own. Seeing how tormented she had looked in her sleep just now, Weston realized that he knew too little about her. He even assumed that Stella’s emotions were probably stabilizing gradually since it wasn’t that often that she had nightmares about her baby.Little did he know that her mind was plagued by another nightmare.She was only in her early twenties. How could she have gone through so much in her young life?He turned glum. He took her hand and kissed it gently before telling her, “You should go wash up a little, okay?”Stella was still in a daze. When she finally woke up, she felt like all her energy had been s

    Instead of crying out, Stella simply endured the pain.But Weston could see that she was hurt, so he let her go.“Wash yourself,” he snapped before getting up and stomping out of the bathroom, leaving Stella alone in the bathtub.Weston closed the door behind him. Now, all that remained in the bathroom was a thick cloud of mist. Stella couldn’t see very clearly. For a good while there, she just sat like a statue in the bathtub. As the minutes passed, she finally slid down until the bottom half of her face was underwater. She breathed out, creating bubbles in the water. She closed her eyes, but the scenes from her nightmare came flooding back.She didn’t want to remember all those things… but all she could do now was hug herself tight.… Meanwhile, Weston stood on his bedroom balcony with a glass of champagne in hand. The sight of Stella whimpering and sweating in her sleep still ran fresh in his mind. He didn’t mean to be so cold to her, but the thought of her willing to risk

    It was clear Weston knew very little of Stella’s past life.…The sound of rushing water filled the bathroom. After soaking in the bathtub for a while, Stella finally got up and turned on the shower. She had no idea Weston recently loved letting Stella soak in the bath. He would even help her clean her body with a curious fervor as if the activity gave him a lot of pleasure.But Stella never liked soaking in the bathtub.Now that he had gotten angry and left the room, there was no reason to keep soaking. So she got out and took a shower instead.The water soon stopped flowing. Stella opened the door and walked out…As soon as she stepped into the bedroom, her eyes met with Weston’s, and she stopped dead in her tracks.“You’re not in bed yet?” she asked, breaking the silence.Weston looked coldly at her and said nothing. He seemed to be trying to ignore her.Stella’s eyes glimmered. She, too, said nothing. Weston was getting more and more unpredictable these days. She had n

    “I have no reason to be calm when it comes to your safety!” Weston blurted out.They were both stunned and speechless by the sudden outburst.Stella looked up at him. If she wasn’t mistaken, she could’ve sworn that Weston just admitted how much she meant to him.Weston seemed to realize what he’d just said. The fire in his eyes dimmed, and he quickly let her go. He took one last look at her and, without saying anything, turned and marched into the inner room, slamming the door behind him.Their bedroom was a massive suite with an inner room where their bed was. It was the door to that room that Stella stared at as she sighed softly.If she let him stay angry this way for long, things would only get much worse. Besides, that guy that she got into trouble with didn’t seem an average guy. Judging by the way he threatened to tell his father about them, it was possible that he was from a rich and powerful family.Stella weighed the pros and cons. Then she thought Weston’s injuries mig

    Weston’s eyes were still cold and distant, but they fixated on her. He was now sitting in bed and seemed to have no intention to come over and help Stella up to her feet.It was clear to her that he was still angry. He was mad over her recklessness in going to a place like a bar and even provoking someone there, causing him trouble. Knowing this, she did not expect him to come to help her, and she slowly got up herself.Now that the lamp was on, she could easily pick up the first aid kit and place it in front of him. She sat down on the bed and slowly untied his nightdress without looking at him. She pulled his sleeve down to reveal a large, fresh wound on his shoulder.With his entire shoulder exposed, Stella could clearly see his bulging muscles. His body looked strong and smooth, even more, impressive than some fashion model’s.Weston remained silent. Stella said nothing either.As she focused on the wound, her eyes were caught by the bruises on his knuckles. It was plain that

    Stella kept quiet and climbed into bed. She opened the blanket and lay her body down.She had planned to talk to him about Roger tomorrow, but then the moment she lay down in bed, Weston immediately turned over to the other side with his back facing her. It was obvious that he was still mad.She could almost feel a cold aura emanating from him. They were both lying in the same bed, yet it felt like they were on the opposite ends of the world.Stella stared at his back, recalling the days when they had just gotten married. Weston was not used to sharing a bed with someone else, so the minute they were done having sex, he would instantly get up and leave.This man never failed to leave indelible impressions on her. He would make her feel the utmost joy she could never have imagined, then drag her down to the deepest depths of hell where anguish and sorrow thrived.For countless nights, she would stare quietly at his back, not daring to touch him. But now, with a cold and indiffere

    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.
