Chapter 286: A Replica (2/2)

”I know it must be hard for you to get used to your new life, but everything will be fine when we leave this place. It will be just the two of us in our new home, far away from this place.” He gave her a smile before pulling his phone out and dialed a number.

”How are things at the airport?” He spoke into the phone's speaker, but didn't divert his eyes away from her figure. ”Keep everything ready. We will be there soon.” He waited for a couple of seconds and nodded his head slightly at the other person's response before disconnecting the call.

Shifting his attention back to her, he spoke up. ”If you need time to develop feelings for me and say yes to me, then you can take as much time as you need, my love, but just not here. We need to leave before that so-called brother of yours starts looking for you.” He took a step closer to her.

”I am not going anywhere with you.” Stella stood her ground and refused to listen to the man because she knew if she let him take her out of this city, then in no way Adam would be able to locate her. For all she knew, he might even take her to a private island which couldn't be tracked back to him.

”I am sorry, but you don't get to have a say in that matter.” He gave her an apologetic look as he took another step towards her.

Seeing him getting closer to herself, Stella instinctively took a couple of steps back until the back of her legs made a contact with the bedside table. ”You do realize that you cannot marry a woman who's married to someone else already.” She spoke up as she tried to shift his attention to another topic. She couldn't let him have things his way.

”What marriage are you talking about?” Her words irked the man, and his tender expressions were replaced by an annoyed one. ”He's already dead. You are nothing but a widow, my love. A widow who still uses his family name and enjoys his wealth. You can take my family name and enjoy my wealth too.” His lips curled up in a sinister smile.

”I don't care about your wealth or your family name. I don't want to deal with either of them. As for him, I definitely care about both, his wealth and family name. And I am not willing to give up on either of them.” She gave him a lop-sided grin and replied to him without giving away too much information. It was better for her if the man continued to think that Adam was dead.

She moved her hands behind her and tried to reach the lamp which was resting on the bedside table. ”My name is Stella Levinson. And that's the name which will be written on gravestone.” She added as she grabbed the shaft of the lamp.
