Queen of Wild Cards novel Chapter 512

Aside from that, it felt like they had nothing left to say to each other.

"Stella, what happened between me and Faye was an accident. It was honestly just an accident. Can you please forgive me?"

Julius's voice broke, practically begging her.

Stella remained completely expressionless. "I can't forgive a single thing. I will not accept betrayal and infidelity."

"Then let me explain the situation with Faye," Julius said, his tone laden with helplessness.

"I have zero interest in hearing about what went on between you two. Since she's carrying your child, it's over for us. Let's just discuss the logistics of the divorce."

They had already created a literal life together—what else was there to discuss?

"No, you need to hear this. If you don't listen, I absolutely refuse to discuss a divorce with you."

She needed to hear the truth so she would understand it was a setup, not a deliberate betrayal.

To get him to cooperate with the divorce proceedings, Stella forced herself to be patient. "Fine. Speak. I'm listening."

Julius then began recounting exactly what had happened with Faye.

"The situation with Faye occurred when I went on a business trip to South Africa last year. There was a terrible mining accident. People died, and the families were rioting.

I had to fly out to handle it personally and stayed there for half a month. Faye is the daughter of the local mine manager, Kael Langley.

Shortly after I arrived, a secondary collapse occurred at the mine. Kael died trying to save me. On his deathbed, he entrusted his only daughter to me, begging me to look after her.

Since Kael sacrificed his life for mine, I agreed to his dying wish. I helped Faye handle her father's funeral.
