“Til be home in about two hours, Abraham said over the phone. “Had a couple of drinks. Don’t wait up–just go to bed.”

“Got it,” Stella replied, then hung up.

She made her way back to the dining room. There was no way she was going to stop eating–she was still hungry.

The butler watched as Stella went back for two more bowls, a bit surprised–but hey, having a healthy appetite was a good thing.

After dinner, Stella headed out to the yard for a quick walk to help it all settle.

That’s when her phone rang again.

Ethan. The moment she saw the name, she wanted to hang up.

“What is it now? Seriously–what do you want? Haven’t you caused enough chaos already?” Her tone was sharp, full of irritation. She was absolutely done with Ethan.

His breath caught on the other end, clearly worked up. “Who owns Verdant Villa?”

“Why?” she snapped.

“Just ask him what he wants for it I’ll pay whatever,”

Stella went quiet for a moment.

That desperation in Ethan’s voice? It could only mean one thing–Lillian must’ve stirred something up again. Of course she did, Whenever it came to Lillian, Ethan completely lost his head.

“He’s not selling. Stella said flatly. “Give it up.

Ethan nearly lost it. “Just tell me who owns the place! I heard he’s sixty–six. Seriously, Stella? You’re with someone old enough. to be your dad?

Lately, every time Ethan turned around, there was a different guy hanging around Stella.

Now he couldn’t even tell who actually owned Verdant Villa anymore.

With everything going on with Lillian, his head was all over the place. He couldn’t think straight–everything felt like a mess

She couldn’t believe what she was hearing. She stared at her phone, utterly speechless. Did Ethan hit his head or something? Has he completely lost it?

“So what if I want his inheritance? You really think I’m into him? Please. Compared to your insane family, he’s a dream. No parents, no nosy relatives–just peace and quiet. Sounds like heaven to me

Ethan fell silent. His chest tightened. His head was pounding. Stella didn’t just argue. She crushed him. He had no comeback. She left him speechless.

That’s just how Stella was. You threw a pebble, and she’d come back with a boulder.

His thoughts were a blur, his whole brain buzzing.

And just when he thought it couldn’t get any worse, Stella hit him with the final blow, “You really should see a doctor, Ethan. Something’s definitely off–you’re not thinking straight.”

Chick. She hung up before he could even react,

Meanwhile, Ethan was still on his way to the hospital, furious.
