Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

“Mrs. Milton, please don’t get too worked up, you’re still pregnant,” Elvis said with worry. He picked up Stella’s phone and put it on the table.

“You’re going to follow Bellamy too, aren’t you?” Stella asked Elvis directly.

Elvis remained silent. Without saying a word, he lowered his head.

Stella finally understood everything. The only reason they had taken care of her and protected her was that they thought Jasper was still alive. They were doing this because they thought that it would give them a brighter future.

Once they were sure that Jasper was dead, they turned to another person to climb up the social ladder.

Everyone was willing to switch sides to make it to the top. After all, it was human nature to be greedy. She understood this very well.

She couldn’t blame them. She could only respect their decision because there was nothing she could do about it.

However, her heart was filled with sadness. Was this the Dark Shadow that she had been trying to protect for Jasper all this time?

Her world seemed to have collapsed in an instant.

“Leave, and take your Dark Shadow with you. I don’t care who you worship now, be it Anthony or Bellamy,” Stella said, sniffing.

Elvis’ heart ached to see Stella like this. “Mrs. Milton, can’t you be with Bellamy? Why don’t you just regard Bellamy as Chief Milton? There have been many instances where even I thought Bellamy was Chief Milton.”

“He is not Jasper. Jasper would never sacrifice innocent people to obtain his own interests and power. In his heart, the life of a commoner is more important than his own. He would never betray his own belief and principles and he would never plot to hurt anyone,” Stella said with tears streaming down her face.

“But, no matter how noble Chief Milton was, he’s no longer around, is he?” Elvis said.

“So, you may choose to worship whoever you want from now on. He doesn’t need you, and I don’t need you either,” Stella said with certainty.

“Even if we support Bellamy, we would still be serving you, right? There’s no difference.”

“The difference is that you’ll only be getting your salary if you serve me. If you serve Bellamy, you could get the glory and achieve greater heights. You may leave now,” Stella glanced at the door, signaling for him to leave.

Elvis didn’t leave. “Mrs. Milton, please calm down and think about this rationally, alright? I’m getting scared seeing you like this.”

“I need some time alone,” Stella closed her eyes.

“You should get some rest then, Mrs. Milton. I’ll still be here if you need anything,” Elvis said. Then, he turned around, went out, and closed the door behind him.

Stella’s eyes were closed, tears still streaming down her face.

She missed Jasper so much. Without him, she didn’t want to stay in this cruel world at all. However, what would happen to Eli if she were to die now?

She needed to send Eli away safely.

Elvis had become one of Bellamy’s men, hence, she couldn’t trust these people anymore. The only person she could trust was Allen.

Yes, there was only Allen left.

Stella wiped her tears and decided to bring Eli to Allen.

Bellamy stood in her way when she rushed out of the library.

She felt a chill run down her spine as fear rose in her heart. She took a step back.

“Do you know everything?” Bellamy asked.

Stella forced herself to calm down.

If she were to argued with Bellamy now, she would probably be imprisoned in this manor for the rest of her life.

He would also force Eli to leave, and use her as a tool to threaten Sean.

If that happend, no one could save her no matter how she cried out for help.

The key difference was that she would still be separated from Jasper even if she died. Her soul would be trapped in this mansion.

“Yes,” Stella lowered her eyes.

“I believe that we are in control of our own fates. Trusting Sean feels as though I am standing on the edge of the cliff. He could kill me with just a word. I couldn’t sleep and I couldn’t eat. Now, everything’s settled, and nobody could hurt us anymore. I’m the only king in this country from now on,” Bellamy’s words were filled with arrogance. The corners of his mouth curled into a sinister smile.

“Mmm,” Stella replied flatly. “What about Eli?”

“She’s your friend, and I’ll make sure that she’s safe,” Bellamy promised.

“There’s no way for Sean to turn the tables around this time. It wouldn’t be safe for Eli to continue staying with him. I want to send her away secretly. Are you okay with that?” Stella asked while giving him a skeptical look.

Bellamy nodded and said, “She is innocent. Send her away then.”

“I’ll talk to her,” Stella said, lowering her head as she walked past him.

Bellamy took her hand and said, “Aren’t you happy for me? From now on, no one could hurt you.”

Stella forced a smile on her face and looked at him coldly. “Congratulations, you finally got what you want. Good for you.”

“I will marry you once I become President. From now on, we will be happy,” Bellamy promised.

Stella smiled and walked upstairs without saying anything else.

Eli was already awake. She brushed her teeth, washed her face, and came out of the bathroom.

“Are you hungry?” Stella asked softly.

Eli rubbed her stomach and said, “I think I got up because I was too hungry.”

“Let’s have breakfast first then,” Stella said. Turning around, she shouted for Suzi, “Mom, we want breakfast.”

“Coming!” Suzi served the French toast that she had made.

Eli took a big bite and looked around. “Wheres’s Bellamy? Has he gone out?”

“Yes,” Stella replied as she ate her breakfast. “I have someplace to go later. Why don’t you come with me?”

“Where are we going? Is it somewhere fun?” Eli asked.

Looking at Eli’s eyes, which were as pure as the blue clear sky, Stella felt a dull pain in her heart. “We’re going to a church to meet an extremely wise priest.”

“Are you going there to pray? Or are you going there to speak to the priest? I wouldn’t mind coming along. It sounds fun!” Eli said cheerfully.

Elvis started the car and drove away once they were done with their meal.

Stella looked at Eli, who was still oblivious to everything that had happened, and asked, “What’s the thing you want to do the most?”

“What I want to do the most? To be with my friends and my lover,” Eli said with a smile.

Stella also smiled and asked sincerely, “What is the one thing that you could never forgive Sean for?”

“I think that there are many, like, cheating, for example. I would never give him a second chance, ” Eli said firmly.

“What about you? What is something that would make you forget Jasper?” Eli asked.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

“Feelings could be accumulated, and it could be exhausted too. I once loved Frederick, but I lost all my love for him somewhere in between the time I spent with him. Jasper gave me a lot of love, but when he died, my feelings for him stayed stagnant, so it will always remain in my heart.”

“That’s why it’s always hard to get over someone who has passed away.”

“Yes. When you’re alive, you will go through lots of contradictions and differences in life, and all these will slowly deplete your feelings, especially in relationships. However, if the other person is dead, then, only time could heal your wounds. You’ll need to forget about the love that you once had, yet you couldn’t get rid of it. So, I chose to leave when I found out that Jasper has lost his memory and only remembered Bettany. Because there was no way I could become the apple of his eye,” Stella said with disappointment.

“So, no one will be able to replace Jasper in your heart, right?” Eli asked sadly.

“That’s right.”
