Her overt revulsion incensed the man.
He struck Stellaâs face and scoffed, âHow dare you act defiant!

Stellaâs face swelled as her consciousness started to fade.
âIf you lay a finger on me, my husband will make you pay dearly.

He immediately dialed another number, covertly mobilizing his private helicopters to scour the city in search of Stella.
âThe kidnapper just called me.
Start tracing the IP address of that phone.
â Once the arrangements were in place, Matthew ended the call.
His fists clenched and his expression darkening.
Regret and anger coursed through him.
