Chapter 1063
When Love Comes Late
âMm⦠Youâ¦â she stuttered, unable to form words.
âYou were the one following me,â Benny said, his voice emotionless but his eyes gleaming darkly.
âYou came to me at the graveyard that day.
â
Stellaâs heart raced, panic surging within her.
She feebly attempted to free herself from Bennyâs grasp, her hands clawing at his hair and clothes, but to no avail.
His hold remained unyielding.
âYou⦠Let go⦠Iâ¦â Stella struggled to articulate a sentence despite exerting all her energy.
Benny, however, only smirked coldly in response.
He had no intention of releasing her.
He studied Stellaâs face with a brazen, unsettling intensity, making her uncomfortable.
âNo wonder Matthew is attracted to you.
You really are beautiful,â
Benny remarked with a roguish smile.
He leaned in even closer, his eyes examining Stella with keen interest.
âImagine what would happen if I were to f@ck you right here.
How do you think Matthew would react?â
Stella felt fear wash over her.
Her ears started ringing, and her eyes widened in sheer terror.
At Prosperity Group, Matthew was examining a document.
His eyes moved meticulously over each word, ensuring no detail was missed.
With Bennyâs recent emergence, Matthew had taken a hands-on approach to every project bid by Prosperity Group.
His vigilance had heightened, determined not to leave any avenue open for exploitation.
Although everything was fine, he felt it was the calm before the storm.
Just then, his phone buzzed, displaying Stellaâs name on the screen.
Noting the time, Matthew guessed Stella would be almost home by then.
He set aside the document and answered the call.
âStellaâ¦â
Matthew had barely started speaking when a male voice abruptly cut him off.
âHello, Mr.
Clark!â The manâs voice was hoarse with a trace of provocation and complacency.
Matthewâs expression instantly shifted as he recognized the caller.
âBenny Clifford.
â
Benny laughed coldly and then said, âI didnât think you would catch on to me so fast.
