Stella turned her body as Lexus wished. She was puzzled. She didn't understand, why Lexus checked her body.“What are you really doing? Why are you checking my body?”Stella plucked up the courage to ask. She looked at Lexus, who was kneeling, examining part of her leg.“I just wanna make sure that there're no injuries all over your body. Is it wrong for a husband to do it?”'Husband? Didn't I hear it wrong? Does he refer to himself as husband? My husband? Or, Steffy's husband?'Stella was momentarily overcome with a feeling of hesitation. She would rather not take a headache. She would rather not be disappointed because, in reality, she was just a surrogate bride.“Let's go in and have dinner!”***Early in the morning, Lexus woke up. He spent the night in the living room since he first married Stella. He hurried back to his bedroom.“Sleeping alone really makes me uncomfortable! I can't be like this all the time!”Lexus opened his bedroom door. He walked overlooking at Stella, who w
“Ugh!”Stella sighed. She opened and closed both eyes repeatedly. She remembered something.“Gosh!”Stella woke up. She sat up with her arms around her knees.“Where is he?”Stella turned her head to her right and left. She looked around for a Lexus, who was out of nowhere.“Ugh! As usual, he left after finishing his morning passion with me ....”Stella was taken aback when the tone of her mobile phone sounded.Beep! Beep! Beep!Stella got out of her bed naked. She immediately covered her body with a quilt.“Oh, where's my phone?”Stella saw her phone lying on the table. She grabbed it.“Oh? Dad? What else is He gonna tell me this time?”Stella saw one name that had been contacting her frequently lately. Yes, who else if not Odolf Drechsler?“Shouldn't Daddy protect and make his daughter happy? However, why does the word happy seem to be far from my life?”Stella was furious when she read the contents of a message from Odolf asking her not to be late to see her at the designated resta
Stella was nervous when Odolf asked her for the money. She was confused. She searched for kind words to answer his father's question. “Stella, where's the money dad asked for? Don't say you didn't bring it! Huh?!” A question sentence with an emphasized tone came out of Odolf's mouth. Of course, it made Stella depressed. 'What shall I answer? What should I say to Dad? Dad would be furious if he guessed right! I wanna run and hide from this reality!’ Is running away from reality the right thing? Will avoiding the problem make Stella free from the fear and pressure given by Odolfーher father? 'What if after this I run and hide from the Lexus? However, can I leave him when Bastian is near me? And, where should I go? Where should I hide, so that Lexus can't find me?' Stella was thinking too much. She was so down to her current position. What about her status as the wife of Lexus? Would it be easy for her to get away from Lexus's grip if Bastian was always by her side? “Stella? Why are
Stella looked up at the waitress, who approached her. The waitress reached out and handed her a small brown tray. Stella took it too.“Yes,” Stella replied without showing any expression.The waitress didn't move from Stella's side either. Of course, it makes Stella uncomfortable. She immediately looked up again.“You can go now! I'll pay for it when it's done.”Stella said softly, but without a smile. Her mood was completely destroyed by Odolf's words. She didn't know that Bastian was sitting right behind her recording whatever was happening.“It's good that I quickly moved the table right behind Miss Stella. Because if not, I wouldn't have heard what she was talking about with the waitress." Bastian said in a low voice. He kept listening to Stella and the waitress's conversation while enjoying the dishes that were available on his table.“Are you sure you can pay the bill, Miss? Have you seen the nominal amount you have to pay?”'Oh, gosh! This waitress is so arrogant! Why did she s
Stella's round eyes stared at the man's face. She frowned. She asked, “Who are you? I don't know you."The man smiled. He bowed.“Let me introduce myself, Miss. I'm Robert. I work for the Rodriguez Holdings Company. To help someone it is not necessary to know each other. Because I like to help everyone who's in trouble.”Robert brought his mouth to Stella's earlobe. He whispered, “Of course, there is a price to pay.”Stella was definitely surprised by the whisper of the man, who might be the same age as her father. Stella distanced herself from Robert.“What do you mean, Mr. Robert? I don't understand."Robert smiled. A knowing smile. His eyes fell on Stella's chest which made him swallow his saliva repeatedly.“What is your chest size, Miss? It challenged me to have it. Please, be mine just for one night! Then, I will pay your bill and also give you extra money.”'God damn it! He abused me,' Stella complained in her heart. She's emotional. She stood up and moved one hand.Plaque!Ste
“Are you all right, Miss? Did they all hurt you?” Bastian asked softly. Bastian was still worried about Stella even though he had been by her side since earlier. “Bastian!” Stella screamed her bodyguard's name. Now, she can breathe easily. She smiles on her lips. “Bastian, why are you here? As you can see. I'm okay." Bastian nodded. He was thankful that Stella was okay. “Hey, foolish man! What did you call me just now?! Bastard?! You don't know, who am I?! Huh?!” Robert's screams made Bastian realize that he had to take care of him first. "I'm so sorry, Miss. I have to fix this small problem first," said Bastian, bowing. Stella nodded too. Bastian immediately turned around. She stared at Robert with a beet-red face. “I called you a bastard. Is there something wrong? Who are you?! You're just an ordinary employee, right?! You don't know, who's the woman standing in front of you all?! Huh?!" Bastian pointed at Stella respectfully. However, it seemed that everyone there did not
“Bastian, why are you giving advice to 'em? Just let 'em wonder. Because the most important thing is that our business is done and let's get out of here!” Stella said in a low voice. She glanced at Delana and Robert. "Miss Steffy, people like 'em, who like to insult other people, occasionally have to teach a valuable lesson. Let 'em know who you are!” Bastian responded to Stella's speech without diminishing his respect. He did all this for Stella's sake. He did not want his master's wife to get insulted. “Your idea is brilliant.” Delana walked back to the cashier counter. However, someone got in her way. She asked, “Stop this madness, Delana! Why are you constantly looking for trouble?” “Deborah, if you don't like it, then stay out of my business! You just serve customers well, “replied Delana furiously. “But, Delana ….” The waitress named Deborah glanced at Stella for a few seconds, then turned her head and looked at Delana, who was dialing the call center number printed on St
Stella widened her eyes when she saw a handsome man with a perfect body. Who can deny that Lexus is a man full of sensations that many women go crazy for? Even the entire population of England admired him.Lexus doesn't come alone. He walked with Seth, who was always by his side. Behind Lexus and Seth were 6 men dressed in black with the same posture and haircut.“Ugh? Iーisn't he Young Master Lexus Rodriguez?”"Yes, that's right! Is he gonna have lunch at this restaurant?"He's more handsome than on social media or on television!"Several people whispered admiring the figure of Lexus now standing in their midst. Delana was amazed by the handsome figure in front of her eyes. She rushed over to Lexus and greeted him.Lexus took off his sunglasses. Everyone can see the handsome face of the Lexus. Of course, he makes himself a magnet that can attract anyone's attention when they're near him.Delana called out, "Good day, and welcome to La Vida Restaurant, Young Master Lexus!"Delana playe
