#Chapter 14 – Jealousy, Jealousy

Third Person POV

Stella sighs and closes her laptop screen, rolling her head back into the headrest of the car. A small smile creeps up onto Sebastian’s face as he watches her.

“Your hacking skill shave gotten better,” his praise catches her attention, opening one eye to look at him, “you’re much faster than you were before.”

*1 had a lot to free time in the hospital,” Stella shrugs. A weight falls onto Sebastian’s chest at her casual revelation.

He watches as her hands move to her neck, quickly undoing the metal casp of the necklace, Stella barely even looks at it before holding it out to him.

“Here you go,” she says, eyes finally meeting his, “thanks for letting me borrow it in there.”

“No, it’s yours,” Sebastian pushes the necklace back towards her, shaking his head, “if you don’t want it, we can throw it away.”

The truth is that Sebastian casually bought it for Stella, thinking that the necklace would look best around her neck instead of anyone else.

She gasps when the necklace is passed to a man who stands outside, her hand flying to the one that hangs around her neck.

How could she be so carless with a valuable piece of jewelry like that? That means it has to be a fake, right? Of course, Stella has been putting on an act the entire time.

The blonde turns around, quickly spotting her parents and Adrian as they leave the hotel doors, engaged in conversation. Clara musters up tears in her eyes, wiping them away as she approaches them.

“Stella has ruined my mood! She’s so materialistic and selfish. How could she ruin a day like today?” Clara whines, looking at Adrian with glossy eyes.
