It already night time at the Lucius Villa, and everyone was occupied with one thing or the other. But only one person stood alone, brooding and refused to associate with any other person. Unexpectedly, someone came to meet the brooding person. " Are you thinking?" Cole asked with a curious look, the moment he got to Stella's side and took a seat beside her. Stella rolled her eyes, ignoring Cole's question, and she crossed her arms over her chest, facing the other side. " You don't want to talk?" Cole clearly knew why Stella was acting like that, but he wasn't also ready to back down. So, he decided to irk Stella in anyway he could. " Can you just let me be?" Stella wasn't in the mood for this and just wanted to be alone. It was best to be on her own, as she had been embrassed too much. " What if I don't?" Cole stared at his sister, observing every of her reaction, and now he was certain Stella had really changed. Has she actually fallen for Aiden?! But that's imposs
But unknown to Stella and Cole, someone was actually watching them from an unnoticeable place and even heard all their conversation. .........The next day spread out like a blanket, welcoming a whole new hope, and more things to focus on. In a particular familiar room, one could see a familiar lady sitting on her fancy huge bed, as she crossed her legs together, staring as if her mind was somewhere else. Stella sighed, absentmindedly rubbing the tip of her fingers. Many thoughts about Aiden were disturbing her to the extent she couldn't even focus on herself. Well, turns out to be true that she already gave in to Aiden, but how is that possible? Just within when?" I need to stop thinking about this," she told herself, shaking her head at the same time, and she took a deep breath. Just like that, she somehow managed to shut off all her thoughts about Aiden and got off the bed. It was time to use her time on better things! Stella walked to the dinner room, still in her
" No, it okay. This is none of your fault," Stella shook her head negatively, as she responded back to Harsley and went back to her seat." Huh?" Harsley was stunned and blinked her eyes multiple times, before she realised Stella was not going to hurt her or anything. " I said it not your fault," Stella repeated what she said earlier. Harsley just nodded upon hearing this but said nothing at all. After that, no one said anything, and the only thing that enveloped the whole dinning room was absolute silence! " Let's go shopping," Stella suggested the moment she was done with her food, and she dabbed her mouth corner with a colored tissue. " For real?" Harsley was also done with her food, and she pushed her empty dish aside. " Yeah." Stella nodded and stood up immediately. This was what she could think of as she desperately wanted to free her mind from all thoughts, most especially Aiden! " Okay Sis." Harsley also agreed and quickly vanished away from the dining room..
" Who are you?" Harsley was confused, and her eyes darted from Stella to the other person in front of them. " A peasant doesn't deserve to know me," the person standing in front of Stella, crossed her arms over her chest and curled her lips upward. She was actually referring to Harsley. Harsley frowned immediately and pointed to the person. " Who are you calling peasant? Do you know who I am?!" The person just glanced at Harsley and sneered, before she used her right hand to push Harsley aside. Damn! Harsley was dumbfounded and embarrassed! How could a bitch just ignore her words like that! " Long time no see Stella," the person smiled, but it was not a gentle smile, it was a smile full of hidden meanings. Stella gritted her teeth, scrunching her face. Now, she regretted coming to the mall. What an unfortunate day to encounter someone like this.... Without saying anything as she chose to turn a blind eye to the person and hissed. Then, she turned her back and dragg
" Miss Priscilla, am so sorry! I really had something to finish up, and that's why am late! Please, it won't repeat itself again." The person, who just rushed in now, went on his knees and started begging Priscilla like a little kid. Priscilla twitched her lips and slowly turned to face the man, who was begging her. " Right about time for you to arrive." " No Miss Priscilla, it not like that," the person denied, as more sweats covered the crown of his head. The person was none than the manager of the luxurious mall, and seeing how pitiful he appeared right now, people are starting to think just how powerful Priscilla is. " Isn't this the manager of this mall?" " Yeah, sure he is, but why is he kneeling down and begging Miss Priscilla?" " Maybe he offended her and doesn't want to lose his job. You know, I heard that the owner of this mall in partnership with Mr. Grey. So, technically Miss Priscilla also have a say in this mall." " Ohh, this is so.........I wonder just how pow
" Stella!!!" Priscilla was deeply annoyed and embarrassed, with how Stella thrashed her with harsh words! " Fuck! Isn't she scared of dying?! I can literally rip her into two with just an order!" She thought inwardly, as her nostrils start to flare....... " You are not fit to call my name! Hear that, it doesn't even sound nice from your mouth! You should take a break!" Stella hissed loudly, as she shot Priscilla a rude look and turned her back proudly, allowing her hair to tumbled over her shoulder. " You........." With gritted teeth, Priscilla lounged forward and immediately grabbed Stella's right arm, planning to hit her hardly. " Ah!" Shocked, Stella yelped loudly and widened her eyes. But before Priscilla could do anything, another person Immediately rushed into the mall. The person sudden rush startled almost everyone, and this even interrupted what Priscilla was about to do. " Please, don't try it!" The person shouted with heavy breaths and quickly ran over to where S
" What do you mean?!" Priscilla's face darkened immediately, and she squinted her eyes together. " Yes!" Mr. Jones nodded, as he looked around the whole mall. " Huh?" Harsley arched her brows. " I don't understand," she said, feeling confused. " What are you saying?! Am sure there must be a mistake somewhere, so please take your words back," Stella denied, not getting what the Mr. Jones meant, and she shook her head. Even the onlookers were shocked beyond words, as it doesn't feel real at all. This was when the manager wanted to stand up, as he knew Mr. Jones wasn't a person to joke around. His " yes" mean " yes" and his " no" means " no". So definitely, he knew what he said. But Mr. Jones already saw through his thought, so he was quick to stop him from standing up. " Remain in your position!" " Please....Mr. Jones,,,,,,,,," the manager immediately started begging. But Mr. Jones just ignored him and faced Stella. " This is what I want to tell you. You are now the new
Instantly, the news reached the air, stating that Stella Lucius has become the new owner of the prestigious mall, that was well known. This stunned everyone watching the news, as they couldn't believe it. But the people who were surprised the most were Cole and Lady Irish. They knew how Stella had been managing herself, so how come she was able to get a mall on her own? And it not just an ordinary mall, but a really great mall. It was just unbelievable! But despite all the happiness, someone was busy brooding and tugging her hair so hard! " This is not fair!!!" The person screaming, inhaling and exhaling sharply. " Princess, calm down," a man looking to be in his early forties, quickly ran to where the person was, tried to calm the person. " Don't tell me to calm down!" Priscilla barked furiously and even pushed her father away. She was so mad, that her face had turned red, and she was boiling. " This was not what you told me! You said you have become one of the owners of t
