Stella leaned back in her seat, silent again, looking utterly exhausted.
The car grew quiet until Beck decided to break the silence with some music.
When they finally arrived at Boris's luxurious mansion, Beck turned to look at Stella. Despite the heavy makeup, she radiated a profound tiredness.
Beck should've woken her up, but hesitated, his hand pausing mid-air before retracting it, a frown crossing his face.
An hour later, Stella finally woke up. She glanced at the time, opened the car door, and stepped out.
"Beck, thanks for the ride," she said, waving him off as she walked into the mansion.
Beck didn't linger, driving off immediately.
Not far away, Bonnie gripped the steering wheel tightly, her mind racing. She had been tailing Beck for a while, hoping for a chance to confront him, but was stumped when Beck entered a casino where she had no membership. Waiting outside for two hours, she was outraged to see Stella, that wretch, leaving with him!
Jealousy twisted Bonnie's features. She wanted to snap the steering wheel in half.
Morgan had called her several times, asking why she hadn't arrived, but Bonnie was too consumed with thoughts of Beck.
She couldn't believe Stella and Beck had been in the car together for half an hour. They were relatives, for heaven's sake! Imagining Stella's past with men, Bonnie couldn't help but suspect the worst.
Thinking about how easy Stella had it, getting to ride shotgun with Beck, Bonnie was tempted to storm into the mansion and give Stella a piece of her mind, just like old times.
But Stella wasn't the same person she used to be.
Frustrated, Bonnie called Morgan.
"I'm at your family's old estate. Your dad's hardly ever home. Why don't we give it a try here?" she suggested, her voice dripping with seduction.

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
