Chapter 1611

Stella did not let Lucas apologize to that actor. Lucky for him, too. If Lucas had really gone to say sorry, that guy would have spent the rest of his life looking over his shoulder.Lucas had gotten pretty good at removing Stella's makeup, having practiced a lot. In no time, he was done. "All set. I'll wash your face and apply some moisturizer. Keep it simple."Lucas, who had never cared for makeup, was now learning everything he could to win back his wife.Stella was disgusted. "You're the big boss of White Corporation, and you're wasting your days tailing me. Aren't you worried your empire will crumble?"Lucas replied, "Chasing you is the only business that matters to me."Stella was at her wits' end with him but chose to ignore him.Then Lucas leaned in, whispering close to her ear. "The biggest threat to White Corporation used to be the Sandow family. But with their internal strife, Steve got nabbed by the cops, and Rian isn't a threat anymore."Even after all this time, St

Lucas said, "You've already got a godson. No rush, we'll take it slow."Stella shot back, "I'm in a hurry for a daughter, so she can marry our godson someday. If we wait too long, she might miss her chance!"Lucas reached out, playfully tapping her nose. "You're something else, you know that? Got a guy as great as me, and still scheming to keep all the best guys under your roof."Stella was not having any of his jokes. "Cut the comedy, Lucas. I'm serious here.""All right then, how about we make a plan to visit the hospital for a checkup when you're free?""Deal," Stella agreed.Lucas felt a wave of relief, confident there was nothing wrong with either of them physically. The real hurdle, he knew, was something else entirely—his interference.But now, it seemed, he did not need to worry anymore. He could sense Stella's heart warming up to him, slowly letting go of her reservations.That night, Stella felt drained, her carefulness at dinner stemming from her fear of gaining weig

"Dream on!" Lucas snapped."What are you waiting for, then?" asked Stella.Lucas, caught off guard for a moment, quickly regained his composure. "You little vixen, I won't let you get away with this."The night was filled with intense passion.The next morning, Stella had an early shoot. Despite having little rest and a mind full of thoughts from the night, she woke up early. She stirred slightly, feeling the arm wrapped around her waist. "Lucas, let go of me, I need to get up."Lucas held her tight, unyielding and silent, lost in a deep sleep.Growing impatient, Stella pinched him hard on the waist. The sharp pain jolted Lucas awake, his eyes slowly opening."What's up, honey?""I need to get up. Let go of me."Lucas lazily reached for his phone to check the time, then pulled her closer into his embrace. "It's just past six, still early. Let's sleep a little more.""I've got an early shoot today." Stella pushed against him with more force, finally breaking free and swinging

As soon as the door swung open, Stella's assistant stood rigidly at the entrance.Upon spotting Stella, the assistant hurried forward with a smile. However, she instinctively stepped back upon noticing Lucas lurking behind Stella."Why are you lingering outside in the cold? You might catch a cold," Stella inquired."I'm not cold. I'm tough and won't freeze," the assistant replied.Stella glanced at Lucas. "I'm off then."Lucas pulled Stella close, planting a kiss on her cheek. "Alright, I'll head straight to the airport and won't come to see you."Stella nodded, leaving with her assistant.In the elevator, the assistant whispered, "I didn't dare with Mr. White around.""What was that?" Stella asked, not catching it."I mean, knowing Mr. White was in your room, I was afraid to interrupt anything important," the assistant explained.Stella gave her assistant a quizzical look. "What's gotten into you?""Am I wrong? Look at the mark on your neck—it wasn't there when we wrapped u

A face flashed in Stella's mind. Just the thought sent a shiver of excitement through her, making her hands tremble slightly. 'Could it really be her? The one who likely perished in the inferno, the one for whom Ron had been hunting relentlessly for two years?'Stella wanted to get closer, to see clearly, but fear held her back. She was afraid of facing a truth she might not be ready for. So, she stood there, her gaze fixed on the slender, familiar silhouette.As Stella gazed intensely, her assistant, Bernadette Leggero, followed her gaze and spotted the same figure. "What's so special about that woman?" Bernadette asked.Bernadette's words snapped Stella back to reality. She quickly averted her gaze, feigning indifference. "Nothing, let's head back," Stella replied.They had only taken a few steps when Stella could not resist glancing back. She could not shake the thought that the silhouette was unmistakably Emma's. "Bernadette, give me my phone," Stella said.Bernadette promptly

Stella said, "All I need to know is that Emma is still out there, alive and kicking. Even if she doesn't want to reconnect with us, that's okay. As long as she's safe."Abigail pondered for a moment. "You're making quite the splash with your movie shoot in their town. If the person you saw really is Emma, and she wants to reconnect, let's leave a secret sign. She'll probably reach out to you. Otherwise, we'll just discreetly confirm it's her and not stir up any trouble."Stella nodded in agreement. "Alright, I'll follow your lead."But before they could set their plan in motion, just as Stella and Abigail returned to their hotel, a young boy approached them. "Miss, this is for you," he said as he handed Stella a letter.Stella took the letter, a bit surprised. "Hey, kid, did Ms. O'Neill ask you to give this to me?"The boy's eyes widened in shock. "How did you know that? I didn't say anything!"Stella chuckled and playfully pinched the boy's cheek. "Because I'm a fairy from the h

Chapter 1617

Ten years ago in Valtara, Glenn Hagrid, a young man, was polishing a pool cue, but his mind was not on the game. It was fixed on Ron, who was lounging in the corner with a cigarette smoldering between his fingers."Ron, I heard that the Blue family from South Florivera sent a bride your way. Instead of checking her out, what's got you stuck here watching us shoot pool?"At the mention, Ron took a couple of hard drags on his cigarette and crushed it into the ashtray. "So eager for a girl, huh? Why don't you marry her?"Glenn shot back with a grin, "I would love to, but our grandpa won't allow it."Glenn, Ron's younger cousin by a year, was always one step behind in the family's pecking order.In Valtara, where the Hagrids were top dogs, and the Blues of South Florivera were high society, a marriage between these families was no small affair. It was a power move, carefully orchestrated by the elders who were selecting and reselecting the perfect match.After much deliberation, the

Ron knew one thing for sure: even if he had not come back today, the marriage between the Hagrids and the Blues was a done deal. As soon as they hit legal age, they would be walking down the aisle.Ron picked up his pace, covering ground quickly. The yard was massive, taking Ron a while to reach the living room. Just a few steps in, he heard the elegant sound of a violin."Who's playing the violin?" Ron asked.Jake said with a grin, "That's Miss Blue. Before you got back, she played the piano for everyone. Heard she's a whiz with several instruments. Beautiful and talented. Besides Gary, you're your grandpa's favorite. The girl they've lined up for you is top-notch."Gary Hagrid was Ron's older brother. The name stung Ron like a knife to the heart, but his expression remained unchanged, stoic as he continued inside.The living room was bustling with people. All the Hagrid family elders were there. A few unfamiliar faces, Ron figured, must be the Blues' elders.A girl sat center s

Ron's gaze lingered on Emma, a fact that everyone in the room noticed.Seeing this, Philip quickly steered the conversation toward Emma. "Emma's violin playing is superb. She must've been practicing for years," he said.Regina replied with a smile, "Mr. Hagrid Sr., we've always emphasized artistic development in our family. Emma started learning various instruments at the age of three and has since mastered them all."Just recently, she was accepted into a prestigious music academy abroad. However, her father and I would prefer her to attend Valtara University, so she can spend more time with Ron and nurture their relationship."Philip nodded in approval. "The Hagrid family needs a lady of her caliber."Regina beamed. "It's a great honor for Emma to be chosen by you from so many girls."The two families discussed their children as if they were commodities to be bartered, right in front of them.Ron's eyes met Emma's once again.Emma, her pristine face adorned with a flawless sm

She said, "I know." Her voice was gentle and soothing.Ron asked, "Got a guy you're into?"Emma shook her head."No, really?" Ron pressed.Emma suddenly looked up at him, her eyes fierce. "If you don't believe me, go check for yourself."Ron chuckled coldly. "Check? You think I've got nothing better to do? Let me be clear: I don't like you. Whether you're into some guy or not, it's none of my business.""I know.""You know what?""I know you don't like me," she said."Well, at least you're aware of that," Ron remarked.Emma continued, "Even you can't change what our parents have decided. I certainly can't. We're going to end up married, whether we like it or not."Ron burst into laughter. "You're really ready to let others dictate your life? Marry a man you don't love?"Emma did not want this, not one bit.As Ron said, being born into such a family meant they were fated to have little say in their own lives. She knew from a young age that her family would arrange her marri
