Chapter 145
Stella remained silent, Brian’s breath became heavy as he grabbed her chin to force her to look at him.
Answer me.”
“Yes,” Stella admitted while looking into his eyes.
His face darkened. “What are your thoughts?”
After a moment of silence, she replied coldly, I don’t want to stay with you.”
Brian’s gaze turned menacing “Are you serious?”
“Yes” Stella nodded.
“Don’t you feel any reluctance?” he asked.
Stella pressed her lips together. She did feel reluctant, but what could her reluctance do? Jessica was pregnant, and Simon was waiting for her in prison.
She was the one with no choice. She had to let go, so she said, “I’ve said it before. I’ve decided not to love you anymore.”
Brian froze for a moment. His face turned pale. Stella took the opportunity to break free from him and fied with her bag
However, Brian reacted quickly. He strode over to grab her but accidentally tugged at her bag. With that, a beautifully wrapped gift box fell out
It was the diamond necklace that Yoel had given her. Panicked, Stella bent down to pick it up
Unfortunately, Brian was quicker. He picked up the gift box and opened it to reveal the diamond necklace inside. It was obviously meant for a woman and looked quite valuable.
His face turned extremely cold as he looked at Stella. “Where did this come from?” He harbored a last hope that she had bought it herself
However, Stella replied, “Yoel gave it to me.”
Braris gaze tumed icy. The next moment, he scooped her up and headed upstairs. Stella panicked, and tears welled up in her eyes. “What are you doing?”
His face was grim Without a word, he walked into the bedroom and tossed her onto the bed.
When Stella landed on the bed, she saw stars for a moment. She tried to get up, but Brian pressed her down onto the bed.
He lay on top of her, his chest against her back. She tried to get up, but he was heavy, so she couldn’t break free.
“What are you doing? she exclaimed in anger.
“I told you to go get the quart pendant back from him But instead, you went and got a gift from him Do.
my words mean nothing to you?” Brian pinched the back of her neck, punishing her.
Stella couldn’t get up. She rebuked, “What does it have to do with you? I returned your bag to you. We have nothing to do with each other anymore. It’s none of your business from whom I accept gifts!”
“We aren’t divorced yet.)
“We’ll be divorced soon.”
“I won’t go to court. What can you do about it?” Brian forced her to look at him. His gaze was intimidating as he pinched her face
“We’re only in the cooling–off period for divorce. If I don’t go to court, you won’t be able to divorce me.”
Stella was stunned. “How can you go back on your word?”
“You plotted against me first.”
Stella was dumbfounded. “You know?”
“Who can you fool with your little tricks?”
Stella suddenly didn’t know what to say. He knew everything. Did he know about Simon’s situation, too?
She wanted to ask something, but he suddenly bent down and kissed her. Stella didn’t want to, so she
turned her head away. “Don’t kiss me.”
