His weakness
Stella stopped the car in front of Alex's family mansion. She wanted to go in, but the security were already instructed to not let her in after they brought Alex back from her place.
He nearly died after returning from Stella's mall. He is still under proper care at the moment. The doctor was very angry at the whole family for letting him leave the house in such a state and made him nearly died from a heart attack. Now he refuses to open his eyes and not properly responding to treatment.
They had no idea what gave him the shock, but knew it's definitely something he heard from Stella, and also thank their stars that they realize he is missing in the house and go after him immediately.
Alex, despite the shocking news about Stella marrying Shane; still choses to believe that there must be a story behind it. He recalled what happened the day of the accident.
He woke up and noticed Stella not acting like her usual self, he asked her how she's feeling and got told by Stella that her body is feeling weird, then suddenly she felt good again.
The weirdness kept coming and leaving which worries Alex, he suggested they visit the hospital, but Stella claimed it's not up to hospital issue and decided to take a nap.
Alex refused to accept that she's fine and decided to visit the hospital himself; to explain to the doctor how Stella claimed she's feelings and confirm if it's not a big deal.
He was on his way, when a car parked beside him at a fast speed. Four suited men came down and held him, as he was struggling to free himself, he noticed they weren't trying to do anything to him except holding him still, and in the next moment, he was pushed with full force onto the Street; in front of a car which was coming at a high speed, and that was the last thing he recalled before waking up and finding himself old and her beautiful mom face all wrinkled up.
But, when he saw her lively attitude and sweet smile, he lost the will to ask for story behind everything, and at that moment, he decided to inquire about his child alone.
"Please let me in." Stella pleaded.
"I'm sorry, but i can't madam, you're not allowed to come in here, please leave." The security man said to her.
"Can you at least tell them i want to talk to them about Alex child? Please it's important." She said.
"I'm sorry, but I can't."
At that moment, a car drove up to where they stood arguing outside the mansion's premises. Stella recognize the young man who came down as one of the boys who called Alex uncle the other day he came to see her.
"What's going on?" The young man asked as he came down, bow slightly to Stella and turned to face the security man.
"She said she wanted to talk about master Alex child." The man replied.
Stella was about to add her part when she heard a voice, "come in."
She looks back at where the voice came from and saw Alex father, it appears his grandson drove him home. She quickly headed inside the car and the young man did the same without asking question and drove in.
After hearing what Stella had to say, the old man was very pissed, his granddaughter went through that much while he is still alive. He knew he ruined Alex with his decision then and regretted it, but hearing this now, he hated himself more.
The young man beside him named Tyler was looking enraged as well, they thought Alex was crazy when he kept mentioning Stella and baby, which is why his mother lost it and blurted out about Stella marrying Shane and all. 'So it's true there is a child.'
"Please help me find her, I need someone to rely on now, i can't lose her." Stella broke down in tears.
"She's my granddaughter and it's my responsibility, I will try my best and made sure she was found safe and sound." The man assured.
"How is Alex?" Stella couldn't help but ask after she got the reply she hope to get from Alex family.
"Uncle nearly died, he had a heart attack." Tyler said.
Stella covered her mouth with both palms, her tears falling uncontrollably. She thanked them and slowly got up and left. But instead of leaving for her mall, she left for her house, which she shared with Shane.
Getting home, she made a decision, since marrying him isn't helping to keep Diana safe, then what's the purpose of enduring this life of torture with him, there is no point to all this, she's living with him as he wanted, yet her daughter's life is still wanted by him. The thought of killing herself crosses her mind, since she's the only person he wants, what if she dies and then everyone gets to live in peace. Shane will have no reason to hurt her daughter which she's not sure if he has already captured her.
But she still had this belief that Shane will surely want her to watch Diana's death, and this belief gave her hope that Diana is still alive.
A while later
Shane who had gotten notified that Stella is now at home, kick open their bedroom door and dash toward her, "where did you go?" He demanded, raising his voice.
Looking calm and collected, "Let's get divorce." she said.
Shane's heart skip a beat before letting out a loud laughter, "I'm wondering the exact universe the lawyer that's gonna grant us such; originated from." Shane said and widened his eyes as Stella pulled out a kitchen knife and direct it to her neck, "then i will kill…." Before she could complete her sentence and proceed with her plan, the knife was knocked off her hand with a frightening speed.
She gasped as her hand hurt from the impact, while the knife only left a tiny mark on her neck, which had started bleeding slowly.
Seeing the blood, Shane entire being tensed, he showed a frightening expression Stella has never seen on him before, his irises turned red within an instant. He moved closer to her, but Stella didn't move away, she liked what she saw, she's his weakness, he looks so hurt that she wanted the expression to remain on him forever, but then, "if you dare die on me Stella, I will make sure your friends and that idiot that just woke up dies as well, before I follow along. " he said and use his thumb to wipe the blood streaming down toward Stella's cleavage, "you are not leaving me, never!" He growled.
