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. Stella took it too.“Yes,” Stella replied without showing any expression.The waitress didn't move from Stella's side either. Of course, it makes Stella uncomfortable. 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? Have you seen the nominal amount you have to pay?”'Oh, gosh! This waitress is so arrogant! Why did she s
Stella's round eyes stared at the man's face. She frowned. She asked, “Who are you? I don't know you."The man smiled. He bowed.“Let me introduce myself, Miss. I'm Robert. 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
“Are you all right, Miss? Did they all hurt you?” Bastian asked softly. Bastian was still worried about Stella even though he had been by her side since earlier. “Bastian!” Stella screamed her bodyguard's name. Now, she can breathe easily. 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. Stella nodded too. Bastian immediately turned around. She stared at Robert with a beet-red face. “I called you a bastard. Is there something wrong? Who are you?! You're just an ordinary employee, right?! You don't know, who's the woman standing in front of you all?! Huh?!" Bastian pointed at Stella respectfully. However, it seemed that everyone there did not
“Bastian, why are you giving advice to 'em? Just let 'em wonder. Because the most important thing is that our business is done and let's get out of here!” Stella said in a low voice. She glanced at Delana and Robert. "Miss Steffy, people like 'em, who like to insult other people, occasionally have to teach a valuable lesson. Let 'em know who you are!” Bastian responded to Stella's speech without diminishing his respect. He did all this for Stella's sake. He did not want his master's wife to get insulted. “Your idea is brilliant.” Delana walked back to the cashier counter. However, someone got in her way. She asked, “Stop this madness, Delana! Why are you constantly looking for trouble?” “Deborah, if you don't like it, then stay out of my business! You just serve customers well, “replied Delana furiously. “But, Delana ….” The waitress named Deborah glanced at Stella for a few seconds, then turned her head and looked at Delana, who was dialing the call center number printed on St
Stella widened her eyes when she saw a handsome man with a perfect body. Who can deny that Lexus is a man full of sensations that many women go crazy for? Even the entire population of England admired him.Lexus doesn't come alone. He walked with Seth, who was always by his side. Behind Lexus and Seth were 6 men dressed in black with the same posture and haircut.“Ugh? Iーisn't he Young Master Lexus Rodriguez?”"Yes, that's right! Is he gonna have lunch at this restaurant?"He's more handsome than on social media or on television!"Several people whispered admiring the figure of Lexus now standing in their midst. Delana was amazed by the handsome figure in front of her eyes. She rushed over to Lexus and greeted him.Lexus took off his sunglasses. Everyone can see the handsome face of the Lexus. Of course, he makes himself a magnet that can attract anyone's attention when they're near him.Delana called out, "Good day, and welcome to La Vida Restaurant, Young Master Lexus!"Delana playe
"She is a good waitress. She helped me call the restaurant manager," Stella replied. She smiled at Deborah and nodded as the waitress looked at her. "Then, who is she?" Stella followed the direction of Lexus's gaze fixed on Delana. The woman was talking to Hans. In front of them, there are Seth and Bastian. But, don't know what they are talking about. "He is the lead waitress of this restaurant. My husband, you're someone in absolute power, aren't you?" Stella looked up at Lexus, who was holding her hand. She smiled so as to be able to make Lexus's face blush. "Tell me, what do you want?" Stella's smile widened even more. She replied, "I want you to buy this restaurant and make her the restaurant manager!" 'I wonder, is it true that Bastian said that you're capable of doing and controlling everything according to your will, Lexus? Show me, who you are!' Stella said to herself. She wanted to know Lexus's reaction. 'Is he gonna ignore me? However, if he truly loved Steffy, I'm s
"Young master!" Bastian called his master. He walked up to Lexus and Stella. “Please, let me speak!” Bastian bowed to pay respects to Lexus and Stella. "What do you wanna convey?" asked Lexus, who was actually curious. “This waitress is called Delana. Since the beginning of Miss Steffy's arrival, she has treated her badly. Later, this waitress was assisted by Mr. Robert insulting Miss Steffy in public.” Bastian pointed at Robert, who was standing near the cashier's table alone. "Even Mr. Robert didn't welcome you the first time, did he?" Bastian glanced at Robert, who was about to leave the La Vida restaurant. Lexus was furious. He squinted as he looked at Robert. The man then fell silent. "Then, what else?!" Lexus gave the code to his men. Immediately, the two men in black suits approached Robert and held his hands. “Seth, please close this restaurant temporarily!” Who dares to disobey Lexus's orders? Because for them, Lexus is like a king who must be obeyed. “Alright, Young
"Lexus, I didn't expect that you were someone who threw my family in jail! Why are you doing that, Lexus?! Hmm?!"When she arrived at the hotel room, Stella immediately asked about Lexus' purpose in throwing Odolf and Steffy into prison. "Didn't you forgive 'em?! Then, why did you do it?!"Stella sat on the sofa in the living room of the presidential suite, the most luxurious suite of the Rodriguez Hotel and Casino. Branch hotel in Berlin with a view of skyscrapers. Stella looked angry and unhappy at Lexus' actions. Getting such consecutive questions made Lexus reluctant to answer them. "Lexus, please answer me!" shouted Stella. Sergei looked at the couple with his head. He didn't dare to say anything. "Miss Stella, you'd better rest now! Because in a while, the doctor will come to check the gynecology."Stella didn't respond to anything. She was speechless with the world of gloomy faces. She leaned back while looking at Lexus, who was busy with his smartphone."Miss, please have
"Stella, isn't there a trace of your love for me?"William interrupted the conversation between Lexus and Stella. He looks so pitiful. "Oh, why are you still hoping for something impossible, William?!" asked Lexus in a high tone. After all, Lexus was so jealous of William. "Will, I will never be able to accept your love," Stella said bluntly. "I'm not going to leave Lexus because I love him so much.""Mr. William, are you not willing for the woman you love to achieve her happiness even if she's not with you?" asked Sergei. "Be heartened!"Sergei patted William on the back when the man stood up. "Have you made up your mind?" asked Seth. He hoped that William would not do anything unexpected. "Yes, I cherished Stella a long time ago. I will let her go for her sake as well as for the sake of the Johnson family."William looked at Stella lovingly. His chest felt tight. However, he still tried to calm down. 'Yes, I can't be selfish. If I fight Lexus, not only will I be in prison, but
Everyone stared at Lexus, who had just finished speaking, scolding William. His remarks really made William angry and hurt."Jerome, call the police here to arrest all these foreigners!"William called a bodyguard. He pointed to Lexus and his two confidants. "Okay, Mr. William," said the bodyguard. The man with a strand of hair took out a mobile phone from his trouser pocket. Then, walked away from William. "Audrey, prepare everything! I can't wait to see this honorable Young Master Lexus go to jail along with his 2 loyal men!"After exclaiming passionately, William looked at Lexus, who was sitting leisurely raising his left foot. "Yes, Mr. William," Audrey replied. William was astonished by Lexus' calm demeanor. He asked silently, 'Why isn't he affected at all by my threat?!' "I'm really lucky to know you, Mr. William Johnson," Lexus said flatly. "I also thank you because I didn't have to bother contacting the police."Audrey whispered in William's ear, "What does Young Master
"Where is my Wife?!"Lexus asked when the door to Stella's apartment opened. He confronted Amanda. "I'm so sorry, Sir. Who are you?" Amanda asked very politely. Apparently Amanda didn't recognize Lexus' face. "I ask you once again, where is my wife?!"At this time, Lexus raised his tone. Amanda was naturally surprised. She took a few steps back while holding her heart. "Young Master, please calm down! You can attract a lot of people's attention if it's like this," Seth reminded his master. Just now Seth covered his mouth, Lexus pushed the door wide open. He walked in without feeling guilty. "Excuse me, Sir, you can't enter without Mr. William's permission!"Amanda shouted as she kept holding her heart. She walked directly behind the Lexus. "Amanda, what's the matter? Who came? Why are you so fussed?"A gentle female voice. Yes, the sound managed to slow down the heartbeat of Lexus. "Miss, there is a guest, who came by shouting. However, when I ...."Amanda was speechless. She
10:00 a.m. in Kazan, Russia. Seth was sipping coffee alone in the living room of the hotel room of the president suite. This morning, Seth was tidy up because he was going to attend an online meeting of the Rodriguez Holdings Company. Before the meeting starts an hour, Seth spends a lot of time on his social media accounts to find out the latest news about Stella's search. "Oh, what is this?!"When Seth opened his social media account, he was shocked by a recent morning news. Both eyes focused on the handsome man in a black suit, who was smiling at the camera. "Hello, good morning world!"Seth saw a female reporter say hello on his social media live. He put the coffee cup on the table. "I was in the ballroom of a luxury hotel in Berlin, Germany. At 9:00 this morning German time, a British male supermodel will announce his engagement live."The reporter smiled. Seth was even more curious about it. He sat tensely waiting for the reporter to forward his report. "Yes, that handsome gu
William came over with his arrogant attitude. He opened the door of Stella's room carefully. Tuck! Tuck! Tuck!William walked towards the bed. With the dim lighting, he vaguely saw the figure of a woman fast asleep. "Welcome home, Mr. William!"Amanda stood on William's left side. She exclaimed in greeting her master, who had just come. "How long has Stella been asleep? Has she eaten dinner?"Amanda glanced at the watch on her right wrist. "Miss Stella has been asleep for 60 minutes, Sir. And, Miss has eaten dinner before going to bed."William did the same. He glanced at the elegant limited edition watch wrapped around his right wrist. "It's 8:00 p.m. Berlin time. And, what time did she have dinner, Manda?"William turned his head to the left side. He saw Amanda looking at him. "Before dusk, Miss Stella had already eaten dinner. She asked me to advance the dinner hour because Miss's hunger wanted to be satisfied immediately"William frowned. He replied to Amanda, "Then go to the
Lexus went live streaming for 30 minutes on one of its social media accounts. He explained the history of Soyembika Tower as well as the purpose of visiting Kazan, Russia. "Thank you for joining to watch my Video. Lastly, I will say a sentence of longing and love for my Wife ...."Everyone around Lexus was moved. The women can be seen rubbing their cheeks wet with tears. Lexus lowered his head for a few moments. Then, he looked up his face. He said, "I miss you, Stella, and almost went crazy about it. I love you to the moon and back." Lexus closed out an impromptu live streaming event this time.***"Gosh!"A woman yelled, which made Stella startled. Stella woke up with a sweat pouring out. She turned to look at Amanda, who was sitting in the corner of Stella's bedroom. "Amanda, what's the matter?"Stella got off the bed. She walked up to Amanda. "Are you okay, Amanda?"Amanda was staring at the screen of her smartphone. Stella was curious about what she made. "Did you quarrel wi
The distance from Moscow to Kazan is approximately 719 kilometers. Lexus private jet plane landed about 2 hours ago. The cold air felt by him did not hinder his visit to Kazan. "Young Master, please drink your coffee!" Seth came over with coffee. Now, they're in a coffee shop right on Bauman Street. "Where is Doctor Sergei? I haven't seen him since just now." Seth sat opposite Lexus. "I'm here, Seth. I just got out of the toilet," said a male voice from behind Lexus's back. "Sergei, is Bauman Street not traversed by vehicles?" asked Lexus. He watched around him.Sergei sat on the left side of Lexus. "Yes, that's right. Bauman Street is located in the middle of the city. It starts from the Kazan Kremlin and ends at Tukay Square. Besides, there are many shops beside it," he replied, occasionally playing with the fingers of the hand while answering Lexus's questions. Lexus nodded. He stared at his expensive watch that adorned the right wrist. "The travel time from Moscow to Kazan
Stella's heart really hurt. Her breathing was irregular. 'Yes, what William says is true. I'm just a surrogate bride. However, Lexus has expressed his love for me. Was it wrong for me to expect more?'Stella's heart sank when she was faced with the facts. She looked at William with anger and revenge. "Amanda!"William shouted the name of a new maid for Stella."Yes, Sir?"Amanda ran over to William. The young woman looked pityingly at Stella."From now on, you will live here. Serve my fiancé well! Because she is pregnant. Do you get it?"Amanda understands. She nodded. "Yes, I've got it, Mr. William.""If Stella's needs run out, then you're the one who goes shopping to the supermarket! Just tell me, how much money is needed to buy Stella's needs."William and Amanda both stared at Stella."Because money is not a big problem for me," William said, ending his sentence. "I'm going back to the apartment now."William walked away, leaving Stella and Amanda. Deep inside, his heart was lau
