Capítulo 254: [Bonus chapter] A fight

The drive to the hotel was shrouded in an eerie silence, drowning Stella in a wave of anxiety she had never quite experienced before. A peculiar sense of nostalgia washed over her, reminiscent of her past with Nolan. There were moments they would venture out together, much like her outing with Matteo. Yet, those occasions would abruptly come to an end, with Nolan pressing in too closely, insisting they had to get going.

Upon returning home, he would subject her to a barrage of accusations, convinced she had been flirting with other men when in reality, she had merely longed for his protection as her boyfriend. Tonight's situation bore similarities, although Stella was very aware that she was at fault this time. Still, she couldn't shake the assurance that she was safe. Despite everything, she knew she was in safe hands.
