When Love Comes Late
Stella nodded.
âAlright.
â
She entered the grandiose hall adorned with lavish decor.
A magnificent crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling, scattering its soft light across the walls and floor.
Her nerves heightened.
Tightly clutching her fists, she took deep breaths in an attempt to calm herself.
Her phone vibrated incessantly in her bag.
Checking the phone, she saw an unfamiliar number calling.
She frowned, but ultimately answered the call.
A distorted voice immediately reached her ears, saying, âStella, do as I say, or your grandfather will suffer the consequences.
â
The voice had been altered, making it impossible to discern the callerâs identity.
A chill ran down Stellaâs spine.
She instinctively scanned her surroundings.
Guests entered the hall at that moment, some recognizing Stella and offering friendly smiles.
Though startled, Stella couldnât voice her feelings.
The voice issued another threatening command.

âDonât alert anyone, and donât contact the police.
Follow my directions; Iâm monitoring you.
â
Maintaining her composure, Stella nodded at the guests and stepped aside.
Her voice quivering, she pleaded, âPlease, donât harm my grandfather.
Iâll comply with your demands.
â
âYour grandfather is in the catering department on the third floor.
Go there immediately.
And donât text or call anyone.
There will be consequences if you do.
â
Regaining her composure, Stella clutched her phone and questioned sharply, âHow can you prove your claims?â
âIâll send you a photo.
If youâre skeptical, donât come.
But remember, youâll be responsible for the consequences.
