Stella was always a bit of an enigma to those who knew her. Her dealings with men often seemed calculated, transactional even. Yet with Beck, there appeared a glimmer of genuine affection, a rarity in Stella's interactions. But Beck, it seemed, was indifferent to such offerings, which only served to paint Stella in a more tragic light.
Sitting on her bed, Stella was at a loss for words in response to Jason's remark.
Jason, on the other hand, relished her discomfort. He had been longing for a taste of Stella's allure. After a previous encounter where he had "schooled" her, and she had fled, this time, he believed, there would be no escape for her.
He pinned her down on the bed, panic briefly flitting across Stella's face before she steeled herself into calm resignation.
Her lack of resistance, perhaps stemming from the knowledge that it was Beck who had delivered her into this situation, was heartbreaking. Even in such dire circumstances, her thoughts lingered on Beck, foolishly hoping he might regret his actions, yet she wished no pain upon him.
Her thoughts were interrupted as the door burst open, revealing Beck, disheveled and with a steely gaze.
Jason quickly recomposed himself. "What brings Mr. Sanders here?" he asked, masking his surprise.

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....
