Chapter 294: The Demise (1/2)

The next morning,

Stella fluttered her eyes open as the pale golden rays of Sun hit her face, only to find the space next to her empty. But her tense self relaxed a bit when he saw the note which was resting on the bedside table for her.

'I am just downstairs. Take your time, and no need to rush.

Love,

Your A.

XOXO'

A smiled on her face as her mind eased a little. She just wanted to have him within her line of sight after last night's incident, but being informed about his whereabouts would do the job as long as they were within the same building. Without bothering to look at the time, she got out of the covers and headed towards the bathroom after placing the note in the top drawer of the bedside table.

She changed into a fresh pair of clothes after having a warm shower and decided to go through the business section of news first before heading down to have her breakfast with her better half.

She opened Adam's spare laptop and began to look through the news section about the business world of Germany, but she could barely focus on anything as soon as her eyes landed on the most trending news. Leaving the laptop on the bed, she headed downstairs with a hastened pace.

”Adam!” Stella's voice resonated through the quiet dining hall as her figure could be seen rushing down the stairs which led directly to the hall.

The sight of her almost three months pregnant wife running down the stairs was more than enough to give the man a heart attack as he dropped the newspaper in his hands and made his way to her.

He met her midway on the staircase and scolded her like a child who was being too mischievous before the newly arrived guests.

”Have you lost your mind? How many times do I have to tell you to be careful?” He reprimanded her. Though his voice was firm, it was still laced with tenderness.

”T-taylor.” She let a stuttered reply as she pointed her trembling fingers towards the black screen of the LED which was fixed into the wall right beside the wide and long wooden dining table.

”What about him?” Adam moved his gaze to the direction she was pointing in before shifting it back to her face. Looking at her troubled expressions, he repeated his question again. ”What about Taylor, Stella?” He was worried that she might have had a nightmare, but looking at the slightly damp tips of her hair, he dumped the idea.

”Turn on the TV and select some news channel.” She answered him as she gazed back into his gray orbs.

Seeing how bothered she looked, he nodded and guided her down the stairs. After making sure that she was securely sitting in the head chair of the table, he walked a little close to the big screen and spoke up in a firm tone.

”Turn on.”
