Simone said, "If you could find a way to spend some time with Stella, she might start to see you differently. You share common interests and have a lot to talk about. And didn't she give you that calico cat? If she saw how well you've been taking care of it, she would definitely be impressed. People like Stella, artists, tend to be compassionate. If she could forgive Joshua, she can certainly forgive you."
Leonard's deep gaze rested on Simone. "You want me to kidnap Stella, which would conveniently create an opportunity for you to be with Joshua, right?"
A chill ran down Simone's spine.
He had seen right through her.
Deciding to drop the act, Simone looked him straight in the eye, a strange smile playing on her lips.
"And you don't want that? If you didn't, why do you have her under surveillance day after day? Seeing how she treats Joshua… don't you want her to treat you the same way?"
Leonard's eyes narrowed, his gaze sharpening like a blade.
Simone had intended to provoke him further, but the intensity of his gaze silenced her.

The same rotation blaming Stella trying to get her destroyed. Isn't the writer tired of writing the same foolishness overand over again? This is exhausting....
Can’t wait to see what joshua will do...
Why would the author of this book do that to Stella? Such cruelty!...
So many chapters are incomplete. Missing pages. Hard to get continuity...
Please move on from Stella's troubles, we need more exiting news. Like Joshua discovering that Stella is the one he has been looking for,the owner of the earring....
Seriously, how long will this get stretched ?? Looks like the whole world is set to trouble Stella... It's not moving anywhere.....
Hey...please update regularly...
Is Jasper gay? He certainly behaves that way....
