Chapter 73 - Its Payback Time (1/2)

Taking in a couple of deep breaths, Stella tried to calm herself down as she leaned against the closed door. After she got her wayward thoughts in line, she held her head in hands realizing that she had forgotten the dresses in his room. She opened the door but closed it right away.

'Going back there isn't a good idea.' She nodded her head at her own thoughts. She had chosen those dresses because they were the least bold ones that Katherine had gotten her. The rest of them were a bit revealing, actually a lot. Heaving a sigh, she made her way to the walk-in closet to look for something that she could wear for the event.

Her brows furrowed deeply as she was going through the rest of the dresses, one by one. Her eyes set on one of the dresses as she pursed her lips together. Her eyes brightened up as an idea popped up in her mind.

'It's payback time.' She thought to herself as an evil smirk appeared on her face.

Two hours later, Stella headed downstairs after getting ready where Adam was waiting for her.

Adam turned his head towards the stairs when he heard the sound of heels clicking against the floor.

”You did take you sweeee…..” The rest of his words got stuck in his throat.

There she was, wearing a dark red dress which was dragging on the floor as she was walking down the stairs taking her own sweet time. The dress hugged her body in the right places. The dress was supported by two spaghetti straps going over her shoulders. But the most distracting thing for Adam was the deep v-cut in the front of her dress which stopped below her navel, leaving her sternum and part of her abdomen exposed. Her hairs were tied up in a loose side bun leaving a few locks stray which were framing her face which was covered by a thin layer of makeup. But her lips, those luscious lips were looking more appealing to him in the bright red shade that matched her dress perfectly. Two golden loops were dangling down her earlobes.

Adam gulped a mouthful of saliva when she stopped right before him.

”You are drooling.” She said with a wink as she sashayed past him.

As she walked past him, she couldn't help but notice that he was wearing the shirt that she had bought for him. He had paired it with a plain black coat and dress pants and black crystal cufflinks. He looked like some Vampire Lord specially with his silky black messy hair.
