Chapter 33

Bella was speechless. ‘After everything I told her, she was only thinking about taking back her property?‘ Bella was bewildered. “Stella, are you dense? I just told you that Keegan doesn’t love you, and I have his child now. Don’t you think you are a little brazen for occupying the position of Mrs.

Kane?”

Stella chuckled, “Miss Young, you’re a celebrity. Have you ever considered the outcome if I posted the things you said to me online? You know it’s wrong, but you still want to be his mistress. And, you even force the original spouse into a divorce. Do you think it’s worth it to destroy the image you created all these years? And, maybe a sky–high breach of contract?”

Bella was not frightened by her words, as she smugly smiled, “Stella, I’ve been in the industry for so long. I’ve experienced all kinds of news before. Remember the last rear–end accident which caused a whole lot of fuss? In the end, the dispute was resolved. Do you have any idea how I was able to get away with it every time? Who else would have the ability other than Keegan? It was a month’s loss of exposure, but I got the voice–acting role for ‘Honor of the Deities‘.”

Stella’s smile turned cold, “What voice–acting role did you say?”

“Honor of the Deities‘, a shitty game-” Bella gave her a disdainful look. “Why am I telling you this?

Stella, have some sense and leave on your own. You would be kicked out once my stomach gets big!

Do you think Cordelia would banish the Kane bloodline from the family when the time comes? Even if she would be reluctant to do so?

Stella could feel her hand shaking, and a chill ran down her spine. ‘No wonder he appeared at Neon Nebula that day! No wonder Neon Nebula suddenly changed its mind about the guaranteed contract! It was him who took the contract away from me to please another woman! Keegan Kane, have you ever respected me?‘

Looking at Stella’s disapproving look, Bella thought that her pregnancy had hit her sore spot. She continued, “To be honest, Dahlia knew about my pregnancy. She promised me if I had a boy, she would make Keegan marry me. When that time comes, who in the Kane family will be on your side?”

Stella’s eyes turned dark. Her face was pale, as she stared Bella dead in the eye and coldly said, “Get lost!”

Bella did not stay since she did what she came here to do. She mocked her a few more times before she took her bag and left.

In the Royalpark Villa, a spring rain was pouring around 10 o’clock at night, which was non–stop in March Rivera. The rain started at two in the afternoon, and there was no sign of stopping. The study’s window was half opened, and the sound of pouring rain lingered in one’s ears. Keegan enjoyed working or reading in quiet environments because it was more efficient. But, it was strange recently. He could not concentrate when his surroundings were too quiet.

When Stella was present, he would warn her to not enter the study when he was working. Yet, she never listened and would send in some fruits or midnight snacks. Besides, she would use excuses such as cleaning the surroundings and massaging him to linger around. Sometimes, he would be ignorant of her presence and warn her to not make a sound when he could not shoo her away.

Stella would always promise him at first, but soon she started making noise until Keegan could not stand it. She would smile very brightly and compliment his handwriting or how he could make sense of the messy data when he asked her what happened. Her praises would make having great handwriting or the ability to read a document seem like a prideful thing.

Keegan used to think that Stella was very noisy. But now, he was not used to it when she was not around.

“Knock Knock!”

The knock on the door interrupted his thoughts, and Keegan came back to his senses and lightly said, ”

Come in.”

The nanny came in with a cup of tea.
