Stella returned to the Sanders residence to find Boris already home.
Today, Boris was all spruced up, his face breaking into a grin the moment he saw her.
"Elle, your Uncle Augus just called me. The share transfer will be sorted within a week."
Looking at the feast spread out on the table, Stella finally understood Boris's eagerness.
Boris nudged her towards a chair at the dining table.
"Sit, sit. Have you thought about what you'll do with the money?"
Stella lowered her lashes, pondering, a hint of vulnerability crossing her face.
"I... can I plan for this money myself? But, Bonnie said she wanted it."
Boris was aware Morgan had a girlfriend named Bonnie, whom he had seen around the villa. That girl seemed cunning at first glance.
Despite his flaws and unreliability, Boris had a clear view of these women's intentions.
Hearing Stella, his expression darkened instantly.
An outsider, not even part of the family, dreaming about the shares? Absurd!
"She told you that?"
"Yeah, she came to the villa last night, quite aggressive. Dad, I don't think she likes me."
"What does she count for, not even married into the family yet! Elle, don't be scared, I will make sure you're taken care of."
Stella's face showed immediate relief as she clutched his sleeve.
"Dad, please don't tell her I said this. She'll come after me again, and you're not always home to protect me."
Her fear seemed so genuine, as if she had been bullied by Bonnie countless times.
Boris had always been hands-off with Stella. When she wanted to move back, he allowed it without prying into her reasons.
Seeing her so afraid of Bonnie, he slammed his hand on the table.
"Elle, though you've only recently been found, you're a recognized member of the Sanders family. Bonnie is an outsider; you have no reason to fear her. If she dares to bully you, fight back."
"What if my brother causes trouble?"

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....
