That was why Stella refused to trust anyone from the outside world now.
Especially someone like Remi.
“I’m not leaving,” Remi said.
Seeing how determined Stella was to make her go, Remi became just as stubborn.
Stella’s brows drew together tightly.
“Whether you believe me or not, my being here won’t cause you any trouble.”
