“Daisy, control your mouth!” Ackerley reminded his wife. Then, he said to his granddaughter's partner, "Lexus, Steffy, sit down, food is ready!""Thank you, Grandpa." Lexus and Stella answered almost simultaneously and sat side by side across from the old couple."Well, that's because women often dress up at no time before going out." Daisy hasn't given up on attacking Stella."It's just you, Daisy." Ackerley chimed in with his wife, making Daisy scowl. "Come on! Come on! We must eat 'til we're satisfied and full tonight.”"My wife must eat a lot." Lexus turned to Stella with an affectionate look. It was the same reply by Stella. They are really good at playing the role of husband and wife in harmony in front of others."Yes, feed her as much as the pigs." Daisy's low voice could still be heard."Daisy, can't you say something nice for 'em?" Ackerley again had to lightly reprimand his wife. "Forgive my wife, just ignore her sharp mouth." He felt bad for both Lexus and Stella himself.
Stella should have understood that it was impossible for Lexus to really protect her in the name of love. Her husband just wants to stick the nails of his domination firmly over her without being allowed to be touched by anyone.It seems he was too naive that earlier he was lulled by Lexus' sweet actions that defended him in front of Alexa. He also lowered his head and Lexus quickly spurred his car.Lexus doesn't have that much love and affection. Stella had to get used to that fact."Hmm?" Stella picked up her cell phone which was vibrating on the table next to her and looked to see who was contacting her via chat. “William?” He read the name of the sender of the message.Stella breathed hard. He was currently alone because Lexus was having business at work as usual."What else does he want?" Stella couldn't stop thinking about her childhood friend. Why does William always not give up chasing him? Even so, he still opened the message from William, in case it was an important message.
Without thinking anything, Stella quickly nodded. "Yes, I promise! I promise you, Lexus!" Then, Lexus takes Stella away from the London Eye and asks Seth to take care of William. *** In the car, Stella could only cower in fear at her husband's tense attitude. She knew, after this, Lexus would definitely act violently or throw a tantrum at her. Stella was still stealing glances at Lexus's face, the man's jaw would occasionally harden and be printed clearly from the outside. Stella's guts suddenly sank. Arriving at home, Lexus pulled Stella's hand into the room and threw his wife on the bed. After that, Lexus took off his jacket and unraveled his tie and shirt beads. Stella didn't know what kind of treatment she would receive from her husband after this. Stella just stayed silent and waited in fear as her husband began to take off his tops one by one. Then, the belt as well. “Arrghh!” Stella screamed in fear as she covered her head with her hands when she saw Lexus lash the leath
“Lexus?” Stella was shocked and a little unprepared when her husband was already on top of her. "Why? You don't want it? Do you wanna reject me?” Lexus grinned as he untied the pashmina knot on his wife's chest so that now there was no more barrier for him to be able to see and even touch whatever he wanted from Stella. “It's not like that, I ... ummhh!” Stella couldn't finish her sentence because her mouth was filled with Lexus's lips first. While kissing Stella aggressively, Lexus's hand crazily crawled on his wife's chest, satisfying what he wanted to feel earlier. Maybe after this, Lexus will have its grudge against pashmina. “Mmmhh! Lex—!” Stella tried to compensate for her husband's ferocious kiss but failed and she only hoped not to suffocate in this kiss. When Stella was barely out of breath, she was startled by her husband's hand grabbing her vital while Lexus opened her legs forcefully. She turned her head and the ferocious caresses moved to her neck. “Aarghh! Lexus,
Early the next morning, as usual. Lexus woke up earlier than Stella. He just walked out of the dressing room and walked towards the bed. He put the lavender-colored gift box on the small table beside the bed. Immediately, Stella opened her eyes. She looked up at Lexus. "You're awake, Baby?" Lexus walked up to Stella. He sat on the edge of the bed stroking Stella's long hair so gently. Lexus asked, "Baby, are your conditions okay?" Stella replied, "I'm fine. Thank you for worrying about me and letting me rest." Although Stella answered okay, Lexus saw that her face was still pale. 'You said so, but your face looked pale and exhausted. How can it be said to be okay, Stella? Do you always shut yourself down by saying okay?' Lexus silently pondered. Then, he stared at the clock on his wrist and thought again. 'Stella, you're a kind woman and considerate of me. When I bullied you, you didn't give any resistance. When I fell ill, you took care of me without paying attention to the
"Steffy, your husband has been named the number 1 richest person in England and the 3rd richest person in the world. Do you know what that means?" Lexus is still laughing. He imagined Stella blushing and looked down. "That means I don't lack money. I'm the 3rd richest person in the business world after businessman Pavlovich Romanov from Russia and Henry Ford from Germany. You should be proud to have a husband like me." Lexus said proudly. He didn't care at all how Stella thought of him. "So, did you like all the stuff I sent?" "Lexus, don't throw old things in the dressing room. We can give 'em to the maids, right? Give 'em a gift every once in a while as a token of thanks for working on your mansion." Lexus was stunned by Stella's words just now. Likewise with Bastian. "I will follow all your wishes, my wife. Whatever you like, if it makes you happy, then I will like and be happy." 'Oh my gosh! What did I just hear? Is Lexus starting to be nice to me?' Strange questions came
Seth reached out to greet Stella's arrival. Both of Seth's eyes stared with amazement at Stella's beauty. "You're a dime, Ms. Steffy!" It was not only Seth, who was captivated by Stella's beauty but also everyone who saw her. "Get out of the way!" Lexus came from nowhere. He reached out to welcome the arrival of his wife. Stella also smiled shyly. "Uh, just chill, Young Master!" Seth exclaimed with a smile toward Lexus "Lexus, where have you been?" Stella's spoiled voice made Lexus remember the events of last night. He smiled. "Sweetie, you're da bomb!" The same compliment came out of Lexus's mouth. He took Stella's hand and they went hand in hand. "Bastian, have you secured the area I am about to pass? And, you, Seth!" Lexus walked over without seeing his men. "Have you rescheduled today?" Bastian paved the way for Lexus and Stella. Meanwhile, Seth walked behind them. "Of course yes, Young Master. I have ordered your men to secure the area that you and Miss Steffy will pas
Valen smiled as he listened to Stella's question. He replied happily, "Of course yes, Miss. Bring her the menu!""Yes, Mr. Valen," replied one of the waiters. Not long after, the dish was already on the table.'It's been a long time since I've eaten the cuisine of my birth country! what's it like? Is it still the same taste?'Stella was lost in reverie. She is sometimes lulled by her beautiful past in Germany."Labskaus is a dish originating from the cities of Bremen, Hamburg, and Lubeck. Labskaus is made of mashed potatoes, corned beef, and beets. It is served with a fried egg, curd, and rolled herring."Lexus noticed several menus on the table. Apart from the menu that Valen mentioned earlier, apparently, there are many other menus that are neatly presented. Lexus is foreign to all menus. However, not for Stella."Please have a taste, Miss and Young Master!"Valen bowed. He left with the two waiters.Stella looked left and right. Don't know what he's looking for."What's wrong Baby?
"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
