So, Stella frankly ended this relationship to continue developing her career. But then, her peach blossom luck just like that. Not only did she find the true destiny of her life, but she was also greatly helped by her mother-in-law in love affairs. Will this be the turning point for Stella's life? Read my story to know more.
"We have nothing more to say to each other, Royle." After saying that, Stella turned and left.
From now on, she will no longer have a relationship with her boyfriend - Royle Jason, because she has just broken up with him in a very awkward situation. Stella Clinton herself could not believe that the man who always said he loved her turned out to be having an affair behind her back. But what made her most unexpected was that the person who had an affair with him was her best friend. The one who always made promises about the future with Stella. Not only that, she and her best friend had been friends for fifteen years, yet she treated Stella like that.
The funniest part, that was two days ago. The three of them chose together the right items for Stella and Royle's wedding. At the same time, she herself invited her best friend - Esther Nelson to be her bridesmaid at the wedding, because she had always thought that Esther would bless her for their friendship. But maybe she was wrong from the beginning,.
Stella hurried to the elevator door. When the door opened, she was about to enter but then Royle caught up to her pace and grabbed her arm.
"Stella, I'm sorry. It's all my fault, please don't blame Esther, it's all my fault. If you want to blame, blame me, don't blame her. Please." He began to explain. And then, behind him appeared a very familiar figure, one that Stella would never forget. It was Esther with a sad face and tears still flowing, which would probably make everyone around begin to wonder about the relationship of the three of them. The voices of discussion continued to be extremely noisy.
But that doesn't make Stella feel uncomfortable because she didn't do anything wrong in this.
Stella gently smiled at the two people standing in front of her and didn't say anything. From childhood to adulthood, her personality is like that, so when facing any situation, she always maintains her composure. Stella doesn't want to be like the characters that often appear in movies with scenes of jealousy and cause conflicts among the crowd like the movies on TV always show.
Stella thought to herself, she is not a famous actress to handle the noise from the public. She was the same Stella Clinton as before, Stella began to turn and enter the elevator. Before the elevator closed, she said:
"Surely you and she know me well too, right? I've never been a person who will suffer a loss for myself, and I don't like to reuse what I've thrown away, so you two just enjoy that thing called love. Goodbye."
The elevator slowly closed, but it was enough time for Stella to see all the expressions on Royle and Esther's faces. But in contrast to her original crying appearance, Esther looked at her with a gaze filled with disgust. This made Stella a little surprised, because she had known Esther for a long time, so she knew very well what that look was.
That is aggression. Esther had looked at other people like that before. But right now, the one who made Esther treat her with such eyes, was only Stella.
Interestingly, Stella has always given up everything Esther likes to her. Yet, she never knew enough. She even dared to look at what belonged to Stella. She really is a person with great ambitions.
The elevator quickly stopped, Stella quickly got out and took out her phone to see the new notifications that have just been emitted from the messaging application.
[Royle: I know, I feel guilty for disappointing you...]
[Royle: Let's calm down a bit and talk properly, okay? I don't want you to hurt Esther, she's very sensitive...]
[Royle:...]
Many messages from Royle have been sent, but the content is only one, which makes Stella feel even more stupid. It turned out that ever since, she was in love with such a passionate person. But that infatuation was not for her.
While Stella was still looking at Royle's text messages. Suddenly, her phone beeped a new notification.
[Esther: Stella, haven't you always been nice to me? So can you be a good person again this time? Don't you always ignore these little things? We're still friends, right?]
[Esther: But, you can't blame me either, it's all because you're too cold with Royle, that's why I had a chance to have intimate contact with him. Obviously I've always loved him, why did you receive his love earlier than me? That's not fair to me.]
Stella tried to see clearly each line of messages that were sent. Up until now, she had always given Esther what she wanted, that was because Stella felt that once she was friends, she had to always share what she had in order to strengthen their relationship.
But people call it a blind sacrifice. Unfortunately Stella realized this too late.
Stella really did not expect that, because of her actions. She made things go further and further, but she was lucky because she found out so early. Otherwise, everything will never be salvageable.
Stella looked at Esther's text message and quickly typed a few characters and sent it.
[Stella: You and I don't have any relationship anymore, on what basis do you think I have to be kind to you? I'm kind, but I'm not a fool either. So there's no way I'll help you.]
Without waiting for the other person to respond to her message, Stella quickly blacklisted Royle and Esther on the phone. She didn't want them to disturb her later life again, of course she didn't want things to settle down like that. Stella doesn't want to suffer for herself, that's true. If someone gave her a slap, she would give them back tenfold.
Stella turned off her phone and went back to her house to tell her father and mother about stopping the marriage, she couldn't live with someone who no longer had any feelings for her. And she also believes that her parents will also understand her. Because they always want their children to find true happiness.
When she got home, Stella suddenly realized that something strange was going on. It was in his home again appeared a pair of men's shoes. More importantly, are those Royle's shoes?
Stella quickly stopped all her thoughts, because she didn't expect him to come here so quickly. Just like that, she entered the house to prove all her thoughts completely wrong.
But, the truth was revealed in front of her. Royle is still kneeling in front of her parents begging for their forgiveness. But apparently, her parents didn't care much for him. This also made Stella feel secure.
That way, Stella didn't need to worry about him too much. Because, her parents will quickly kick him out of here.
"Why did you show up in my parents' house? Haven't we broken up already?" Stella said, her voice carrying a hint of sarcasm.
Faced with the coldness of their daughter for Royle, her parents also seem to have understood everything and the reason why Royle personally came here to beg for forgiveness. Of course, this is the decision of their most precious daughter and they fully respect that.
"I... I came here to apologize, and besides..." Royle hesitated, his eyes a little red as well. But this could not soften Stella's heart.
Because, even if she was soft-hearted. The truth was already in front of her eyes, and it couldn't be changed. If Stella was still blindly following the path he outlined, wouldn't she be too stupid?
That will never happen.
"Things should end like this and it will be good for us, you are an adult. Can you make the decision to forgive me if I betray you? Who do you think you are? Are you a tolerant person?" Stella said firmly.
Royle's expression became more and more unsightly, he began to think about Stella's words. Apparently, he himself couldn't accept it if Stella betrayed him, but how could he say this out of his mouth.
That is a great shame.
He fell silent and stood up, as if accepting that it was all his fault, that there was no way to fix it. And he himself cannot force Stella to forgive and accept that he betrayed her.
But then, the door of the house suddenly opened. A short-haired girl with a familiar appearance ran in and walked over to Royle's side.
"He's not at fault, people can't blame him. Everything is my fault, it's all my fault." The girl spoke up, then shielded herself in front of the man. She didn't want anyone to hurt Royle.
Royle looked at her with surprised eyes, not only Royle, but even Stella's parents were also surprised.
They didn't understand why Esther showed up and protected Royle, but Stella and Royle understood perfectly well.
"Didn't I tell you to stay in the car? Why are you here, Esther? What if you're in danger?" Royle asked, his eyes filled with worry.
"I saw you coming in here for so long, I'm afraid... Afraid you'll be bullied by them." Esther said sobbing.
"Bullying?" Stella's father spoke up and laughed, he didn't expect that the child they loved like his own daughter would say such things.
Seeing the two of them like that, Stella's parents were surprised though. Because they themselves did not expect the child who is always in their care to act like that. This made them understand why their daughter made such a straightforward decision.
Furthermore, no matter how much they loved Esther. But Stella is their biological daughter so they will never forgive those who hurt their daughter.
"Esther? Why are you treating Stella like this? Aren't you two friends?" Stella's father asked.
"I... I... All of this is Stella's fault too, obviously I was the one standing next to him in the first place. Not her, she stole him from me." Esther said loudly, she didn't care how good the people standing in front of her were. Or how he helped her, but for Esther. Royle is the most important existence of all.
"Stella stole Royle from you? How is this thing? Why didn't we know?" Stella's mother spoke up, her legs shaking slightly as if she could fall at any moment.
"I loved him before your precious daughter. I've been watching him since we were in middle school. How could she become his lover so easily? Obviously I got to know him first, he and I are a couple..." Esther's voice trembled slightly, as if she couldn't contain her emotions.
"It's crazy, just because you know him first. And you're ruining my daughter's happiness? I do not allow that." Having said that, Stella's father was about to step forward and give Esther a slap. But she quickly pushed him away. And then Stella's father hit the porcelain vase and fell. At this point, everyone gradually became alarmed because at the spot of the impact, a red blood stain appeared.
"It's not because of me, it's all on him. He attacked me, that's what he deserves." Esther stepped back slightly.
