Chapter 89 - Greatest Achievement (1/2)

Next morning, Neil and Ray left the house before Stella woke up. They didn't wanted to see her in a heartbroken state. That's why I didn't stopped them either.

Unlike other days, Stella stayed asleep. She was deeply into her slumber. Since she didn't has to go to work, I went to freshen up without disturbing her.

My main concern was her mental condition. It will be good if I stay at home and accompany her. Letting her stay alone in the house would be a bad choice. What if she does something reckless? Having these terrible thoughts are making me weak and devitalised.

The amount of stress and pain I have to face is still bearable. Unlike me, Stella has it worse. She's literally trapped into a subversive cyclone. A devil of a fellow, Adam has betrayed her, cheated her with lies and deceptions.

Mr. Carlton, a prideful man who cares for the society and money more than his own children, he wants to cut off all the ties with his daughter. These two makes me sick to my core, making me loose my temper.

It was hard for me to control myself around them. Honestly, I wanted to turn them into dust. They need to know their places. I wanted to snatch away their pride and their power. I wanted to show them who's the real boss here. The wealth they have, it can be taken away or destroyed within a moment.

My morals have dissolved into the tears of my loved ones. The way they treated her, the way they made her soul cry, it was enough. Acting like a good guy won't do me any good. For the sake of my loved one— Stella, I will become the wickedest to return their favour.

I was waiting for Stella on the dining table. As I'm staying at home, I won't mind waiting longer for her. After few minutes, Stella came downstairs.

” Good morning. How's your head?” Getting up from my seat, I wrapped my arms around her into a warm embrace.

” It's okay now.” She replied softly with a half made smile. The smell of shampoo was coming out from her wet hair. She probably didn't used the dryer. Which was why the end of the tips were dripping wet.

” You should have dried your hair properly. You'll catch cold.”

” It's fine. I'll do it after eating the breakfast. My tummy is growling.” Hearing that comment sparked some funny ideas in my head.

” Oh! Let me hear it too.” I wrapped my arms around her tummy and rested my head on her ŀȧp as she was sitting on the chair beside mine.

” Hey! What are you doing?” It caught her off guard, making her flinch and blush red with embarrassment. Besides that, Lucy was in the kitchen. She could come out at any moment and see us in this shameful situation. But it's my house. I'm free to do whatever I want. It's not like we are doing something nasty.

” Trying to hear the growling of your tummy.” A smirk appeared as I replied sarcastically.

” I said it as a joke. Now release me.” Stella understood that I was making fun of her. The expression on her face was clearly visible from where my eyes were. Resting my head on her ŀȧp feels so relaxing. I should do it more often.

” Nah. I think I like this posture. Can you feed me while i rest my head on your tummy? Please?” Hearing my child like request, Stella got little mad.

A hungry Stella is a fearsome beast like any other animal in the planet. My eyes have witnessed those fearsome moments in the past. If only Adam and Mr. Carlton faced her like this. They would never think of getting close to her or lay a finger.

” No.” A strong bold reply, filled with rejection.
