Stella had fantasized about her life after gaining a billion dollars. She squinted her eyes and said, “One billion is a low priceconsidering how | had to deal with him all these years. | mean, who can stand that jerk’s temper other than me?”
Felicity agreed, “Yeah. Who would ever marry that man for anything else other than his riches? That person must be crazy.”
Stella did not feel good when she heard what her friend said. She was the crazy person Felicity was talking about. She was theone who married Keegan before she knew anything about his family’s reputation in Rivera. She was the one who married him forhim.
“Hold on. There’s another call coming in. I'll talk to you later.” Felicity saw that it was her boss. ‘That’s strange. Why would Simoncall me at this time of night?’ She thought as she did not dare to pick up.
“Hello? Mr. Hut?”
“Hey, is this Felicity?”
“Yeah, it’s me.”
“Are you free recently?”
Since it did not sound urgent, Felicity decided to lie and said, “I've been rather busy. Why?”
“Oh, really?” Simon sighed. “That’s a pity. A few media companies have reached out to me because they wanted to carry out thescript you wrote. However, there were some things they wanted to change about the plot. So, they asked me if you could makethe changes. It’s fine if you’re busy. I'll inform them about this.”
“Wait!” Felicity’s eyes widened. “I think we can discuss this, Mr. Hut.”“How are we going to talk about it if you don’t have the time?” Simon replied.
At that moment, Felicity wished she could turn back time and slap herself in the face. “I’m sure | can shift things around andmake some time for you, Mr. Hut.” she cheekily said.
“Isn't that too troublesome?” Simon probed.“No, of course not. It’s no trouble at all!”
Simon did not make things difficult for her. “Alright, I’ll send the requests to your email. We can negotiate the pay once you'redone making the changes, and the client is satisfied with your work.”
“Okay!”
Felicity could not believe it after hanging up the phone, It was like a dream come true. She opened up her notebook and startedgetting busy. She was so swept up in the moment that she forgot to call Stella back.
Stella could only hold her hunger until 11:00 p.m. as her stomach began to growl. During the day, she had accompanied Dahliaas a guest at her place. She held herself back at that time, as she was scared that she might make a mistake. So, she did noteach much. She was so hungry that she tossed and turned around in the middle of the night, as she was unable to fall asleep.
In the end, Stella could not bear it anymore. She put on some clothes and sneaked down the stairs to find some food, but thepots and pans in the kitchen were empty. She opened the fridge and saw that there were only some fresh vegetables and somedrinks. There wasn’t even a piece of bread.
‘Maya told me that she cooked up a feast. There’s no way Keegan finished it all. He couldn’t have dumped
it in the trash, could he?‘
After looking around the kitchen, Stella could not find a single thing to eat. Even the snacks she had stored for safekeeping wereall gone. It was likely that Keegan had ordered the staff to throw them away
In the end, Stella found half a pack of opened cookies from a month ago under the TV cabinet. She squatted on the ground andate the stale biscuits sadly.
‘That jerk never liked eating snacks, and he doesn’t allow me to have them. Ugh. He was the one who brought me home, yet helet me starve.’
The more Stella thought about it, the angrier she felt.
“That bastard! Oh, what a jerk! Why did you throw my snacks away?! You wanna live a healthy lifestyle? Fine. But, don’t bringme into it, asshole!”
“Do you have a death wish, Stella?” Suddenly, a black figure on the couch gritted his teeth. Stella was so scared that she couldnot keep her balance and fell to the ground.
“M-Mr. Kane?”
