The next day, Hayden did not come as expected. After that day, Weston planned to put her in handcuffs, buthe later dismissed the idea after he saw how well she behaved.She could walk around with only ankle cuffs as long as she remained in Stardust Mansion.
Stella had no problem with that, just like a dummy with no excess emotion beyond what Weston wanted her to show.She was cold as usual, but she had learned to please him in all sorts of waysâ¦in the kitchen, the bedroom, the living roomâ¦
They would become like the typical loving couple whenever Weston returned home, leaving traces of their love in all corners of the house.
Somehow, when looking at the woman who was trying so hard to please him, Weston felt as if he was looking at the Stella from two years ago.She was just as shy and delicate then, with he being the only thing in her eyes.
The sole purpose of her existence was to make him happy.He picked her up, pinned her on the glass table, and kissed her passionately.
When the two separated, blotches of saliva lined the corners of their mouths.
The man put his finger on it and wiped it off gently.
â Stella, you are so good.â She smiled and rubbed his palm.
âDid you like it?"
"A lot.â He went on unabashedly, âSo much that I am about to go crazy.â He placed her on the table to elevate her to a higher position higher.
Arms braced her sides, and before she could react, his hands slipped under the hem of her dress and coursed around recklessly.She wrapped her arms around his head, and her eyes closed as her body began to tremble.She did not know how long it took before it eased off a little.
âWeston, I canât separate my feet.â
"It's inconvenient, with the ankle cuffs like that.â He frowned and swept a glance at it.
The shackles around her feet could only be parted slightly.They had, in fact, reached their limit.
Weston simply put her feet together, turned them to the side, and embraced them again passionately.He still did not take the cuffs off.It was late at night, and Stella curled under the blanket, looking out the window at the stars in the sky,a little lost in thought.
The man had fallen asleep.She got up slowly and walked to the living room when Joan happened to come out of her room as well.
âMrs.Ford...â
"Joan, why are you still awake?" Stella replied, a little startled.
Her reaction seemed a bit sheepish.How could she come out when the two were making such a scene, regardless of location? How embarrassing would it be then if she caught them in the act?
âI am getting something to eat.Do you want me to make you some?"
"No." Stella shook her head.
"You should be resting earlier.â
"Sigh.â Looking at her slender back, Joan was unsure, but she had a feeling that Stella was getting thinner and thinner.
â Mrs.Fordâ¦â She called Stella out of a sudden.
âActually, I have something I'd like to tell you."
âGo ahead.â
âI know you donât like to go out much, and Mr.Ford has protected you well, but sometimes , it is still necessary that you accompany himâ¦to socialize.â Joan reminded her.
âWith his status, Mr.Fords sometimes needs a female companion, and of course, it should be you â¦but you havenât been going out.It leaves room for others to take advantage of.â Stella understood what she was trying to say.
She looked at Joan and asked gently, âHave you heard any rumors?â Joan sighed.
âIâm not in a position to say that either.It's just that..." She quietly glanced in the direction of the room door and whispered in Stellaâs ear.
âIt's all over the place out there that lately, Mr.Ford has been getting closer to Ms.Cohen againâ¦
Mrs.Ford, they have a child together.
