The atmosphere fell silent as soon as the policemen took Oscar away from the meeting room. Lexus sat in his place with Seth standing next to him.

“Morgan, who are the ones who came to the police station?”

Seth asked one of the company's teams of lawyers on behalf of his master.

“Mr. Gerald and Mr. Michael. Meanwhile, I and Mr. Zidane remain here,” explained the man named Morgan.

Lexus nodded. He looked at Morgan and asked, “Did you bring the documents?”

“Of course yes, Young Master.” Morgan replied quickly.

Morgan took out some prepared documents and then distributed them to the board of directors.

“What document is this?”

Someone asked when Morgan provided him a document.

“Chris, just open it!” exclaimed the woman next to him. “You as one of the deputy Managing Directors don't talk much, or we'll all be in trouble like Oscar!”

“I know, Agatha. I'm not gonna act like Oscar.” Chris retorted quietly.

Lexus held back a laugh. Although the woman said quietly, Lexus could still hear

    Stella was anxious about her grandmother. She knew Odolf's disposition. Stella was surprised when she listened to Odolf's laughter which seemed to mock her. “Ha! Ha! Ha!” 'Did Dad think, I'm joking? I know, Dad will definitely always use Grandma to suppress me. I also knew that Dad would certainly do whatever it took to achieve his goal. My life is under the control of Dad and Steffy!' Stella thought of her father and sister. She leaned back as she licked her forehead, which felt throbbing.“If you don't want anything to happen to Hellen, then follow my orders! Do you get it?!” “Dad, Grandma Hellen is your Mother. How can you do this cruel thing?” Stella tried to give Odolf understanding. She tried to win Odolf's heart. However, will it work? “That was back then, precisely when the Drechsler family was still wealthy in Germany. You know what happened after Eginhardt passed away, don't you?” Stella's mind recalled where she lived a luxurious life when she was still settled in Ber

    Because You're doing everything so rightーLexus Rodriguez. *** “I can't stay still. I've to do something for Stella.” Lexus fell into deep thought when he just arrived at the mansion. A guard opened the entrance. “Good afternoon, Young Master,” greeted the guard. Lexus did not reply to him. He walked hurriedly towards the stairs that would take him upstairs, where his sleeping room was.“Good afternoon, Young Master. You come back sooner.”Ella greeted her master. She ran around from the direction of the dining room. Tuck! Tuck! Tuck! “Where's my Wife, Ella?!”'Why does Young Master look angry?' Ella said. She saw a look of worry appear on Lexus's face. “Miss Steffy is in the room, Young Master.” Ella replied. She was forced to put on a smile to trick Lexus. She doesn't want Lexus to know that she didn't like Stella. “Is this all day, she hasn't come out of the room?”Lexus was curious. He wanted to hear Ella's answer immediately. “Of course, yes, Young Master. I had thought M

    Stella turned her body as Lexus wished. She was puzzled. She didn't understand, why Lexus checked her body.“What are you really doing? Why are you checking my body?”Stella plucked up the courage to ask. She looked at Lexus, who was kneeling, examining part of her leg.“I just wanna make sure that there're no injuries all over your body. Is it wrong for a husband to do it?”'Husband? Didn't I hear it wrong? Does he refer to himself as husband? My husband? Or, Steffy's husband?'Stella was momentarily overcome with a feeling of hesitation. She would rather not take a headache. She would rather not be disappointed because, in reality, she was just a surrogate bride.“Let's go in and have dinner!”***Early in the morning, Lexus woke up. He spent the night in the living room since he first married Stella. He hurried back to his bedroom.“Sleeping alone really makes me uncomfortable! I can't be like this all the time!”Lexus opened his bedroom door. He walked overlooking at Stella, who w

As usual, he left after finishing his morning passion with me ....”Stella was taken aback when the tone of her mobile phone sounded.Beep! Beep! Beep!Stella got out of her bed naked. She immediately covered her body with a quilt.“Oh, where's my phone?”Stella saw her phone lying on the table. She grabbed it.“Oh? Dad? What else is He gonna tell me this time?”Stella saw one name that had been contacting her frequently lately. Yes, who else if not Odolf Drechsler?“Shouldn't Daddy protect and make his daughter happy? However, why does the word happy seem to be far from my life?”Stella was furious when she read the contents of a message from Odolf asking her not to be late to see her at the designated resta

    Stella was nervous when Odolf asked her for the money. She was confused. She searched for kind words to answer his father's question. “Stella, where's the money dad asked for? Don't say you didn't bring it! Huh?!” A question sentence with an emphasized tone came out of Odolf's mouth. Of course, it made Stella depressed. 'What shall I answer? What should I say to Dad? Dad would be furious if he guessed right! I wanna run and hide from this reality!’ Is running away from reality the right thing? Will avoiding the problem make Stella free from the fear and pressure given by Odolfーher father? 'What if after this I run and hide from the Lexus? However, can I leave him when Bastian is near me? And, where should I go? Where should I hide, so that Lexus can't find me?' Stella was thinking too much. She was so down to her current position. What about her status as the wife of Lexus? Would it be easy for her to get away from Lexus's grip if Bastian was always by her side? “Stella? Why are

    Stella looked up at the waitress, who approached her. The waitress reached out and handed her a small brown tray.

She immediately looked up again.“You can go now! I'll pay for it when it's done.”Stella said softly, but without a smile. Her mood was completely destroyed by Odolf's words. She didn't know that Bastian was sitting right behind her recording whatever was happening.“It's good that I quickly moved the table right behind Miss Stella. Because if not, I wouldn't have heard what she was talking about with the waitress." Bastian said in a low voice. He kept listening to Stella and the waitress's conversation while enjoying the dishes that were available on his table.“Are you sure you can pay the bill, Miss?

I work for the Rodriguez Holdings Company. To help someone it is not necessary to know each other. Because I like to help everyone who's in trouble.”Robert brought his mouth to Stella's earlobe. He whispered, “Of course, there is a price to pay.”Stella was definitely surprised by the whisper of the man, who might be the same age as her father. Stella distanced herself from Robert.“What do you mean, Mr. Robert? I don't understand."Robert smiled. A knowing smile. His eyes fell on Stella's chest which made him swallow his saliva repeatedly.“What is your chest size, Miss? It challenged me to have it. Please, be mine just for one night! Then, I will pay your bill and also give you extra money.”'God damn it! He abused me,' Stella complained in her heart. She's emotional. She stood up and moved one hand.Plaque!Ste

She smiles on her lips. “Bastian, why are you here? As you can see. I'm okay." Bastian nodded. He was thankful that Stella was okay. “Hey, foolish man! What did you call me just now?! Bastard?! You don't know, who am I?! Huh?!” Robert's screams made Bastian realize that he had to take care of him first. "I'm so sorry, Miss. I have to fix this small problem first," said Bastian, bowing.
