Weston had unscrewed the bottle cap and poured out a capsule. Stella’s eyes went wide at his action.
The usual Weston was already too much for her to handle. If he took this pill…
She suddenly reached out and knocked the pill away from his hand. “Don’t!”
She said, “Don’t eat this!”
Weston’s expression changed at once. He threw the bottle to the ground and spilled the pills all over
the floor.
Then, he held her chin and forced her to look into his eyes. “Isn’t it just a vitamin? Why can’t I eat it?”
A storm was brewing in his eyes. He was no longer his usual calm self.
Stella looked into his eyes and saw her reflection in them. She was unable to speak. He pinned her and
forced her to sit on the table as she said with a trembling voice, “You knew…”
Weston tightened his grip until he left a red mark on her chin. He did not care and asked, “When did it
start?”
He did not know when she had started taking the drug right under his nose.
Stella paled slightly. After a short silence, she told him the truth.
“From the beginning.” Weston closed his eyes for a moment. Then, he leaned his head down and
rested against her neck.
Stella could see the visible veins appearing and disappearing on the back of his hand from this angle.
She saw the pale blue veins lurking beneath his skin. He was like a long-sleeping beast that had woken
up in a fury. The tense atmosphere scared her a little.
Stella did not move-she did not dare to. After a long silence, she heard him asking her in a hoarse
voice, “Did you eat it every time?”
Stella shook her head. “There were times when I didn’t… I couldn’t eat it in time.”
Weston recalled his memories with a deep gaze. There were a few times when she was not in the
mood. She had remained unaroused no matter what he did. It was as if she was holding something
back.
He was unwilling to see her reluctant look, so he had stopped halfway. He had thought she was not
feeling well. It turned out that she had not taken her medication that would arouse her.
Weston’s hand was still on hers. He slowly tightened his grip. For a moment, he wanted to choke her to
death. “Do
you feel so uncomfortable with me?”
Stella’s eyes turned gloomy. She was scared, and even her heart was trembling. Stella was truly
terrified. She had never seen Weston in so much anger. He looked like he wanted to kill someone.
She feared he would change his mind and force her to stay by his side. She feared he would not let her
go anywhere.
She had been waiting for this year to be over. She did not want any unexpected change to arise at
such crucial timing After a long standoff, Stella surrendered first. “Sorry. I didn’t mean to…”
They had never been equal. Stella knew her position.
She hugged his neck and showed her submission. “I just wanted to make you happy. I didn’t mean to
hide it from you. I was afraid you’d be upset if you found out…”
Nevertheless , Weston pulled her hands away. Then, he held her hands together and gripped her
tightly. He was using such great strength that he might crush her hands. Stella was in pain. She
whispered, “Don’t hold me so hard
She deliberately used a soft tone. In the past, Weston would stop giving her a hard time after she had
shown
her submission. However, her way of speech did not seem to work with him anymore.
Weston pressed his forehead against hers. There was no warmth in his actions except for an
overwhelming sense of pressure. “I know you didn’t mean it. You just can’t accept me.”
Stella looked at him and did not understand why Weston had interpreted it this way. After a short
moment, she said with lowered eyes, “I’ve tried my best.”
Her submissive look made him more furious . A wave of indescribable emotions rose in his heart. It
was a mixed emotion of sourness and blazing anger-a feeling he had never had before.
