Chapter 78 - Unseen Trap (1/2)
People tend to fool themselves with lies. When one faces hardship and misery, they try their best, picking up the shortest way to overcome the sufferings of their lives. This process also concludes blaming others for their own problems.
Yes, I was very agitated with Vanessa. I may not have any idea about her. I may not have vast knowledge on her past life. But my blood starts to boils as I picture her hurting my wife.
Stella has always been a quite and naive girl. She never takes stand for herself, rather she endures the pain alone. She lets other people dominate her. Her kindness is taken for granted. But not any more. I can't see her getting hurt by other people.
Two days later I was doing work in my office. Things had gone back to normal. So far now, there are no casualties regarding Adam. Yes, I was very worried when I imagined Stella working at his office. Since nothing happened till now, I am happy and relieved.
My phone rang up and when I checked, it was an unknown number.
” Hello? Who's this?” I asked the caller. But after hearing the voice, the person turned out to be Vanessa.
” Oh dear! You already forgot me? Actually I have been calling Stella but I can't reach her phone.” Vanessa? Why is she calling me? And where did she got my number?
” That's because she blocked you.” I answered her in a gruff tone.
” Haha! I also thought so. She can only ran away like a little rabbit.” She was mocking at me.
” Come to the point. Why did you call me? I'm sure you are not even little bit concerned about Stella. Oh and by the way, how did you get my number?”
” I have my ways.”
” Yeah like a stalker. Listen don't ever contact Stella. I have heard everything from her.”
” You mean the lies she told you?”
” She's my wife. I'll decide if I want to believe her or some outsider. Don't come into our relationship. Those cheap tricks of yours won't work on us.”
” Oh! How can I not? After all I have been waiting for this moment. I will pay her for the things she had done.” Now hearing this, it made me feel paranoid. Is she planning something shady again?
” What do you mean? Where's Stella?”
” Who knows! Huh! as if it has anything to do with me. But if you don't meet me now, something will happen to her. I ȧssure you.”
” Cut the crap!-”
” Uh-uh! No shouting. I'll text you the place and don't be late.”
The phone was hung up by her. She had provoked me so much that I feel like flamed with fire.
” What the hell! This is outrageous!” I let out my frustration, shouting out in my cabin.
” What happened Theo?” John walked in and asked me.
” Man! I can't believe, some people are just so fuċkėd up in their heads!”
” Calm down, I'll bring some water.”
” No thanks. I'm leaving.”
” You can't just leave! There's a very important meeting. It took us a month to arrange the meeting. Please try to reconsider.”
” John I'm counting on you.” With that I left from my office. Things had gone far from just a friendly fight. I should have called Stella and told her about it but I didn't wanna make her worry any more. This time I will settle everything with Vanessa.
Just who the hell she is?
