Westonâs large palm slowly tightened as he looked into her eyes. âDo you really think you wonât have to pay for running away on the wedding day?â
Stella spoke, trembling slightly, âWhat price do you want me to pay?â
At this point, she was unexpectedly calm.
It wasnât like she hadnât thought about the consequences , but she never expected him to find her in such a short period of time.
But even in that short period, the wedding had already begun.
She never expected him to come to find her, regardless of the wedding.
The more she pretended she was calm, the angrier he became.
âWhere are you going to escape to? Abroad? Then, youâll go find Roger?â
Weston seemed to have everything under control. âDo you think you can find him in Compassvale?â
Her eyes widened suddenly, and she livened up a little. âWhat do you mean? What did you do to him?!â
He sneered, and with eyes filled with mockery, he said, âDonât think I donât know the relationship between you and him.â
He lowered his voice, and it resounded in her ear. âHeâs not your brother, and he thinks of you in such a way...
âStella, do you think Iâm a fool and know nothing?â
âShut up!â
She pushed him away, but he didnât budge. So, she took a few steps back, her breathing suddenly becoming disordered. âWho told you that? Thereâs no such thing...â
âStop lying.â
Weston rubbed the corner of his mouth with his finger and stared at her intently. âYou know I have the power to make him disappear.
âI did all these myself and wanted to run away on my own. Donât involve the innocent. He doesnât know anything!â
Finally, Stella was displaying some emotion.
Previously, she planned to let him do whatever he wanted to her even if she got caught. But just now, he said that Roger was still in the country...
He was in Westonâs hands. He didnât even go back to Compassvale.
Realizing this made her lose all her cool.
âJust as I thought. Only he could make you this emotional.â
Instead of being angry, a smile appeared on his face as he walked up to her slowly. âIn your heart, has he always been more important than me?â
Weston towered over her, looking even more perfect than usual.
His jetâblack hair was slicked back neatly, revealing a smooth forehead, a sharp nose, and an overpowering aura. At this time, he looked even more mature and attractive than he usually did.
âThe more you worry about him, the more I want something to happen to him. What should I do?â
The gentle beast had lifted its tender appearance, gradually revealing its tapered fangs.
Since they had been getting along so well, Stella almost forgot how cruel Weston used to be.
He had always been merciless, coercing cooperation out of people instead of going against him.
She should have known long ago that his gentleness was merely an act.
Her eyes softened, pleading, as she begged. âDonât hurt him, I beg you...â
The manâs eyes suddenly trembled and narrowed dangerously.
He never expected Stellaâs first time begging him would be under such circumstances.
âYouâre begging me for him?â
Weston tore off the bow tie and tied it to her wrist, and his eyes darkened slightly. âYou really know how to provoke me.â
Stella pursed her lips and took a deep breath. âI know Iâm in no position to negotiate with you, but I will do whatever you want if you donât hurt him.â
âWhat if I refuse?â Weston said slowly.
âThen, hurt me too.â
She was pale, but she still smiled. âIâll have nothing to lose if Roger is gone.â
