Anna answered her friend“So we came here based on assumption? You were not sure and you know I don't like wasting my time” Becca tone changed, sounding so rude this time.Becca is one who doesn't joke with her time, she has this belief that time is an asset and should be used wisely. It's her rule that no matter what it is she wants to do, it must be at the right time and the task must be carried out.So seeing that after all the plans and money they spent, Stella was not at home.The thought of the stress they went through just to get the acid and other things to attack Stella, made Becca more annoyed.“Becca I am sorry, I know how much you value the time you spent. Seriously, if I had an idea that she could go out now, I would have mentioned that. I had no idea we wouldn't meet her at ho

STELLA’s POVStella woke up this morning with nothing on her to-do list, that was quite strange and unusual. She wondered what might have happened that made her go to bed that early, last night.Since Stella got back from the hospital, she barely had the time to rest. It's either she is glued to the TV watching her favorite show, whipping up something delicious in the kitchen, or lost in the virtual world of her phone.Sometimes she goes to work but her boss keeps sending her home so she can rest.This lifestyle got her so tired and frustrated, she is not one that loves or enjoys staying at a spot, she prefers being busy and that was one of the major reasons she was so eager to get back home.Yesterday after Damien dropped her at her house, she decided to stroll around, she walked around the street for almost an hour.

If Damien really wants to take her as his date, he will have to pay hugely for it.
