The cab stopped right in front of the house, and Lex sauntered to the house at the speed of light. He was so focused on the house that he didn't notice a red Lamborghini parked nearby. As he entered the house, he went directly to the room with a smile on his face hoping to steal another kiss from Stella before leaving again. However, when he got closer, a soft moan and giggling caught his attention, and he stopped just by the door. There was a sudden silence, and then, again came the moans, this time louder. Lex was confused. Was Stella watching a pornography? He thought. Everything became clearer when a male voice suddenly spoke up, mentioning his name.“Tell me baby, Lex and I, who does it best?" Said the voice. Lex widened his eyes in surprise. He refused to believe what his brain was trying to tell him, but he stayed still."Lex is a good man, I love him for who he is, but of course you know who is best for me. If not you, who else?” Stella's voice came thereafter, followed by

Inside a skyscraper, a beautiful lady walked out of a small hall with her hands on her forehead. She appeared stressed. She entered an office about a few walks away and settled on the chair.It was Stella. She had just concluded a meeting with the company Chairman and the Chief Operating Officer. She was feeling dizzy, following the stress she had to go through to compile her message as the manager of the company. However, most of her worries were what had happened the previous day. She couldn't forget about it. The thought of going back home to face Lex was unbearable. She acted like she didn't care, but in reality, she felt ashamed of what she had done. Her phone rang, and she darted her eyes around in search of it. It was in her drawer, so she picked it up. It was a strange caller ID. After a few glances, she picked up the call and placed the phone on her ear. “Hello?" Her melodic voice called out, and after a short silence, she jumped on her feet.“What?!" She exclaimed.“Lex

~Two months later~Stella's marriage to Paul was done and dusted. She was happily married, yet her divorce from Lex was still incomplete. She lay on the bed wearing a long red gown that exposed her curves.A few minutes ago, she had visited the nursing home for the first time since she married Paul. She had returned a necklace, her very first gift from Lex. It was handed over to Lex by his father, and it was all he had of his mother. Thinking about Lex's situation, Stella sighed deeply. A part of her felt happy for listening to Amelia. Paul has been a good husband to her ever since, and Lex on the other hand has not improved in his recovery. Her gaze fixated on the ceiling as she counted every little spot or object she could see in the air or ceiling.“Goodbye Lex," she mumbled, her voice like a heartfelt apology. Her eyes were filled with tears but she held them back. It was time to let go of her love for Lex and focus on building a new family with Paul.She sighed and stood

Early on a Monday morning, the street was buzzing with people going about their daily lives. Standing next to a city bell was a young man in a pair of blue jeans and white sleeves. It was Lex, it had been two years since he left for the monastery, and Stella had accepted her fate with Adriana.A lot had happened in two years; Stella slept with powerful men to fetch good money which wasn't hers. Adriana occasionally uses her as an assassin to poison and eliminate enemies that rise against her. Stella was living in a world she never imagined, and countless times, she had thought of committing suicide, but as Lex always told her, “Hope is a strong word and a powerful tool to overcome our biggest fears."Those words kept her going, as she kept hoping that one day she would be saved. Lex looked around in admiration like he had been away forever. There was no one for him in the city. The thought of going for Stella crossed his mind, but he quickly rubbished the idea.It would be a crime

Later that night, Lex sat in his room. The silence in the room was a deafening roar as he thought of Espinoza’s request. A picture of Adriana was hanging on the wall, she was a magnificent beauty, and he felt something for her truly.However, he had convinced himself that all he felt was lust for her beauty and not love for who she was. After a deep thought, he decided to go to Adriana's clubhouse in the city. A servant had given him the address earlier.When he arrived at the club, it was almost 10 p.m. he was not used to clubbing, so he sat by the bar and ordered a drink. Before the drink could be served, a loud cry from a feminine voice behind caught his attention.He turned around and saw two men stripping a woman naked. The men were drunk. He darted his eyes around but there was no security nearby. He had to take it upon himself to go to her rescue because he would never condone such behavior. He approached the men, and with two punches, they both fell on the ground unable to
