Stella indeed laughed at that remark. Her father appeared oblivious to the fact that Miguel had contacted her and expressed his dissatisfaction with her immature conduct. “Good luck, father,” she whispered softly, amused by the notion of him instructing Miguel to retrieve her, to which Miguel declined. It is likely the first occasion he has ever articulated it. Miguel intended to reject that request. Although they may be business associates, he would not demean himself to act as a sycophant and retrieve her without the prospect of winning her affection.
She examined her work mobile and contemplated whether she should activate it. Mr. Wood Industries possessed that number, which likely indicates that Carlos now possesses it as well. She remained seated, gazing at it for an extended duration before activating it. A portion of her was quite inquisitive regarding the veracity of Brianna’s assertions. He would pursue her to the farthest reaches of the earth to reclaim her.
Numerous missed calls were recorded on the phone, with no messages left; however, a text message indicated, “Miss Evans, my name is Luca, please call me back urgently.” Who is Luca? She was unfamiliar with a Luca and did not remember any Mr. Luca with whom she had been in contact.
However, referring to her as Miss Evans suggests that this man was likely affiliated with her father, possibly attempting to locate her for collection. Notably, the timestamp of the message indicated it was sent while she was at LAX during her layover.
A text message was received just a few hours ago, stating
Stella, I apologise; I did not intend to raise my voice at you.’ Kindly respond to my message. Inform me of your safety, Nolan. I will be unavailable during my flight; however, please inform me of your well-being. I look forward to seeing you soon, my dear.
She arose from bed and proceeded directly to Brianna’s room. She was already awake, dressed, and had taken a shower. There is no genuine surprise, as the woman typically jogged at dawn each day. Displayed the message to her, anxiously biting her lip as Brianna perused it.
“Will he see me soon on the flight?””
Brianna sighed, “He probably utilised his connections to trace your credit card and obtain your flight information, en route to retrieve you, Stella.”
“It was merely one night.” He was evidently insane.
“Not to him,” Brianna replied, shaking her head.
“Hurry, Brianna.” It was exceptionally pleasurable s****l intercourse. This does not signify a relationship.
“In his reality, it does.” I apologise, Stella; I did attempt to caution you regarding him.
Brianna had cautioned her; she was aware of that. “What actions should I take?””
Brianna sighed, “I am uncertain; however, I would refrain from explicitly stating ‘no’ or indicating that you do not wish to be with him.”
“What?” What is the reason for this?She sensed faint alarm signals activating within her mind.
“May not be received favorably.” It is exceedingly complex, Stella. He is probably arriving to retrieve you. Thus, you may be influenced to pursue a romantic relationship with him. He will desire that and is unlikely to accept refusal.
“He is insane.”
Brianna chuckled at her. “Indeed, they all are.” Must possess what they desire. Irrespective of others’ desires. The four men. They occupy the apex of the food chain. No one has the audacity to refuse them. It is virtually unprecedented.
“You did,” Stella reminded her.
“I did,” Brianna affirmed, “It hurts immensely, to be candid with you.”
“Ryder accepted your rejection and did not pursue you,” Stella remarked inquisitively.
“He was oblivious to my refusal, as I departed immediately after expressing it; he was asleep and unaware at that moment.”
“Indeed?” I departed from Carlos while he was also asleep.” She offered a faint smile, recognising their shared experience.
“Indeed, there exists a distinction.” Carlos was aware of his sleeping partner’s identity. Ryder did not regard me as anything more than another girl in his bed,” she shrugged. “Carlos desired you.” Desired you and must possess you. In his perception, you belong to him now. You consented and informed him that you belonged to him.
“I merely stated that to obtain the actual intercourse, Brianna.” He was withholding information from me, compelling me to articulate my desires in order to obtain what I sought from him at that moment.
“I comprehend that.” However, Stella, you did indeed inform him and consented to be his. Therefore…
“This is a calamity,” Stella murmured.
Brianna softly laughed, saying, “Welcome to my world.”
I am uncertain about my desire to be included in your world. It is peculiar, to be candid. “This is exceedingly strange,” she said as she sat down on Brianna’s bed. “Do I even have a choice?””
Brianna positioned herself adjacent to her. “A choice is typically available.”
