Chapter 209 - Stella Levinson (1) (1/2)

Stella looked at his retreating back in confusion which soon disappeared from her line of sight. She shifted her gaze towards the table and picked up the files and envelopes from it before heading back to her room.

Sitting down in the center of the long sized bed with her legs crossed, she picked up the two envelopes. She shifted her eyes from the small brown one to the large white one, as she decided which one to open first since both of the envelopes were sealed. She focused her eyes on the top left corner of the envelopes and saw a number written in black on both of them.

'1...2!' She trailed her line of sight from one envelope to the other and then back to the first one as she observed the single number written on each. It was obvious that someone had clearly added those to the envelopes. Shrugging her shoulders, she decided to look at the contents of the envelope which was labeled as '1'. She grabbed the top of the brown envelope and ripped the seal carefully as she didn't want to ruin whatever it had inside it.

Stella looked inside only to find a single paper which was neatly folded in a rectangular shape as to fit inside the envelope. Pulling it out, she undid the foldings and as soon as she did, her eyes landed on the handwritten note. Well, it was more of a proper letter than a note as it covered almost the entire length of the paper.

Her eyes teared up as she looked at the familiar handwriting. Blinking her tears away, she began to read it.

'Hey, My Sunshine!

If you are reading this letter then congratulations, Mrs. Adam Levinson. Oh! How much I wish to call you that myself instead of writing these words. But never mind, there will be a day that I will be able to do that, hopefully. My lawyer must have already explained about the papers to you, he's a man whom you can trust blindly. No one besides you can understand better why I did what I did. I needed to make sure that you are fine when I am gone.

Now, coming to us, I am sorry my baby girl. But I give you my word that I will find my way back to you, always. It may take me some time, but I will. I don't know myself for what reason, this letter may find its way to you. But you need to keep your shit together. And stop with the crying already. You don't look good with those puffy, red eyes. I would always prefer a smile on that beautiful face of yours. And don't forget to look after yourself, please, for me.

I love you Mrs. Adam Levinson, and I will always love you with all of me. xoxo

P.S. That ring is my promise to you, don't you forget that.'

Stella continued to look at the letter as tears rolled down her face. After a while she neatly folded the letter again along the previous creases and put it back inside the envelope. With her tear stained face, she picked up the white envelope.

After ripping it's seal she opened it and emptied it's contents on the sky colored satin sheets. Looking through the contents, she realized it was their marriage certificates and her renewed documents, including her driving license and identity card, stating Adam as her husband. She looked at her own name and found it weird, 'Stella Levinson.' It would definitely take her some time to get used to it.

She wiped her tears and began to arrange the documents but stopped in her tracks when her gaze fell on a greeting card. It had congratulations written on the front. She picked it up and opened it only for eyes to tear up again.

A platinum ring having a large oval shaped diamond in it's center, was securely placed in the centre of the card with the help of a red ribbon. She untied the knot and brought it close to her face as she observed it. Her eyes shifted to the other side of the card which had something written on it in the same familiar writing.

'You didn't think that I meant the ring which is already resting on your dainty ring finger? I am not that stingy.'
