As they stepped out for their outing, David expected to be the center of attention, basking in the admiration of others. But to his surprise, Stella stole the show, receiving compliment after compliment from passersby. David's smile began to falter, his eyes narrowing with each praise directed at his wife.Stella, on the other hand, reveled in the attention, her confidence soaring with each flattering remark. She couldn't help but notice David's growing unease, his jealousy palpable as he struggled to keep up with the admiration she received. Some men went on complimenting Stella admiring how she's glowing and beautiful while pregnant. These compliments did not escape David's ears giving them a warning glare along with his cold looks.As the outing wore on, David's irritation reached a boiling point. He couldn't take it anymore, his pride wounded by the constant praise directed at Stella. "Let's head back home," he grumbled, his tone laced with a hint of petulance.Stella feigned anno
As they pulled into their driveway, David and Stella were greeted by the familiar sights and sounds of home. Their holiday had been a much-needed escape, but now it was time to face reality again. David, still smarting from the constant attention Stella received during their outing, was eager to get back to his usual routine. Stella, on the other hand, was feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, her confidence still soaring from the praise she received.The car ride home had been quiet, David lost in thought as Stella chatted about their holiday. She was still basking in the glow of their time away, while David was already thinking about work and the deals he needed to close. He couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy whenever Stella laughed or smiled, her happiness a reminder of the attention she received from others.As they stepped out of the car, Charles was waiting, a big smile on his face. "Welcome back, you two! How was your holiday?"Stella launched into an enthusiastic recount
Charles' expression turned sympathetic as he looked at Stella. "I know it's hard, Stella. But you can't give up. You need to keep trying, keep reaching out. He's still in there, I'm sure of it."Stella nodded, a glimmer of hope in her eyes. "You think so, Charles? You think he can still change?"Charles smiled reassuringly. "I'm positive, Stella. David just needs a little guidance, and I'm happy to help."From that day on, Charles made a conscious effort to be the nicest person ever in their marriage. He'd often visit David and Stella, bringing small gifts and offering words of encouragement. He'd listen attentively to their struggles, nodding sympathetically, and offering sage advice.David, still withdrawn, began to open up to Charles, seeing him as a brother and a friend. Charles would share stories of his own struggles, making sure to emphasize the importance of communication and empathy in relationships. Little did David know that all Charles stories are just fabricated. David, s
"No...No...No..." She woke up breathing heavily from the same nightmare again. "what's wrong with me and this same nightmare? Can this have anything to do with me or what ?" She was still deep in thought when Mrs. Klein shouted her name outside her door. " Mom, I've told you to stop shouting because the more you shout , the more you become ol..." She couldn't complete her sentence when Mrs. Klein held her ears twisting it and scolding her, "How dare you little brat call me an old woman for your information I'm still in my early forties and very beautiful too why do you think your dad loves me.". " Ouch, Mom I'm very, very sorry. I should have known better than trying to call you an old woman. Can you please forgive your little Princess just this once ? " Mrs. Klein was about to reply when her husband suddenly entered the room . "What's happening here my precious ladies?" Mr. Klein asked. " Darling can you believe your daughter just called me an old woman just because I shouted her nam
THREE DAYS LATER DAVID'S POV"Hello boss, I found out something about Miss Stella Bill Klein. Should we meet or I should just say it on the phone? said one of David's spy. " Just say it on the phone and make it quickly." " I found out that fourteen years ago something happened which I couldn't figure out and she lost her memory in the process. But it seems she has no knowledge about her memory loss and that's because they've refused to tell her the truth. That's all for now boss." " Alright your pay will be doubled ". The spy couldn't even thank him before he hanged up on him.David went to his bar straight up and served himself some wine and started thinking about what his spy just told him." So her own parents decided to hurt her... hmmm that's soo strange but I don't care whether she lost her memory or not that is my win and I'll make sure she pays dearly for parents sins. No one can stop me from taking my revenge on her not even Charles. But first I have to make her my friend bef
ONE MONTH LATERStella has recovered fully but she is told to remain in the hospital for a week for proper check-up before she'll be able to go home. When Charles heard of the news he was happy but couldn't share with his friend because he was still angry with him.David also heard the news of her recovery and he felt happy but couldn't understand why. He decided to visit her one evening when he was sure her parents had gone home. Stella was surprised to see him when he came to the hospital at that time since it was late at night. "David what are you doing here by this time aren't you supposed to be sleeping. You have to go home and rest. " Stella said though she was happy that he was with her. " I can't sleep knowing that you're not fine. I'm sorry" David said and Stella looked at him confused. "Why are you apologizing to me because the last time I checked you haven't wronged me." Stella replied innocently. David just looked at her hesitating whether to tell her the truth or not. He
"She's my girlfriend and she's my wife to be. Oh no let me say she's carrying my baby." David said proudly and Stella's parents turned to her with questioning faces. "Mom, Dad don't believe him he's..." "I'm being truthful here, why do you think she's more closer to me and sometimes doesn't come home early from work that's because we're planning our future. " David said with a side smirk. Stella's parents were confused and just staring at their daughter unbelievably. Stella saw their stare and hit David's arm causing him to wince in pain. "Baby that's bad manners. How can you hit your baby daddy so hard. Who will help you carry the baby when you put to bed." David said causing Stella to blush. She hid her face on his chest. Her parents were amused by their display of love even in their presence. "I'm sorry Mr. and Mrs. Klein, I was just trying to pull your legs and as a matter of fact your daughter isn't pregnant so don't be scared. Till she's ready I'll forever wait. The only thing i
TWO WEEKS LATER Stella was finally discharged from the hospital and she couldn't tell how happy she was from leaving the devil's cage. For her going to the hospital is more or less like entering the devil's cage. David wasn't able to pick her up because he was busy with some clients who needed his attention. At first didn't want to go but Stella pleaded with him to attend to his clients. Charles picked her up and sent her home. Immediately she entered the house the faces of their maids and bodyguards brightened up seeing their beautiful madam back home and strong. Stella responded to their tons of greetings before entering her bedroom. She was done bathing and drying her hair when she heard her phone ringing. "Hello, this is Stella Bill Klein talking how may I help you?" Stella teased knowing fully well that she was talking to David. David was with a frown on his face thinking Stella hasn't saved his number or she was probably playing dumb and decided to play along. " Since you don't
