STEFAN IS GETTING PARANOID

"He's dead?" Celestine, Stefan's auntie, asked in surprise over the phone. Then, she started laughing when the news dawned on her. "I can't believe that fate is siding with us. Now, we'll have an easy time getting rid of the old man." 

Celestine was the only daughter of Ferdinand Dumrique. She was the sole princess of their empire if not for Clara who framed her. All pieces of evidence were pointing at her and with the lack of proof to defend herself, she was disowned by her family and was sent to Tuscany. 

Julia, her daughter has one simple role, to befriend Alexander and Stefan because she knew that no matter how poor the family's treatment of Stefan, the man would still get part of the inheritance once the old man dies, and they could benefit from it if they're close with the two children.
