Queen of Wild Cards novel Chapter 173

Stella lay in bed, her mind drifting back over every moment she had spent with Julius since they got married.

He really did treat her exceptionally well, taking care of every little detail in her life and always prioritizing her preferences.

He had defended her against Frederick Hawthorne and gone out of his way to help her retrieve her mother's ashes. Even though they turned out to be fake later, he had truly tried his best.

Everyone in the Blackwood family treated her wonderfully.

As for Jason's situation, she had volunteered to help him of her own free will. Julius hadn't forced her; in fact, when Weber Harper changed the terms, Jason had told her the truth and urged her to walk away.

Nadine had treated her beautifully, giving her heirloom treasures, defending her fiercely in front of the Hawthorne family, and warning Julius never to bully her.

The Blackwood family treated her infinitely better than her own blood ever had.

Was she really as heartless as Julius said?

And when he said he liked her and didn't want a divorce... was that true?

Frustrated, she picked up her phone and played a couple of rounds of a game. But she was completely off her rhythm, and the girl who usually flamed everyone in the lobby was uncharacteristically cursed out by her own teammates.

She logged off, pulled the covers over her head, and tried to sleep, but found herself tossing and turning endlessly.

She sat up in frustration, muttering to herself, "I can't sleep because Julius took my body pillow."

That cunning man had constantly brainwashed her, whispering in her ear, "I'm the best body pillow you could ever have."

Now she was too used to having him as her human body pillow.

She got out of bed and started searching for her plush pillow everywhere.

Not in the bedroom. Not in the living room!

"Julius must have sneakily taken it to the guest room. I'm going to get it back."

Desperate for sleep, she decided to march over to the guest room and retrieve it.
