It wasn't clear if the situation over there had been resolved or if Abby had sensed something was wrong, but she had come looking for her.
Stella glanced at Leonard, took a few steps back, and pulled open the door to the private room.
This time, Leonard didn’t stop her. He just quietly watched her leave until the door slowly closed, blocking his view.
Leonard looked down at the knife in his shoulder.
She hadn’t stabbed him in the heart. Did that mean… she didn’t hate him as much anymore? That she didn’t want him dead?

Seeing Stella walk out of the room unharmed, Abby visibly relaxed.
“Star, thank goodness you’re okay.”
Stella’s gaze flickered. “Abby, how did you know I was in trouble?”
“Star, you really were in trouble?” Abby asked, shocked.
As they walked, Stella explained, “Not exactly. I just ran into Leonard.”
Abby’s face filled with admiration. “Joshua is unreal… He couldn’t reach you, so he called me. I told him I was dealing with something and wasn’t with you. He told me to go find you and see if you were okay. Oh, right, Star, he’s on his way here now.”
“Abby,” Stella said, “whatever you do, don’t tell Joshua I saw Leonard.”
Abby only paused for a second before she understood.
First, Joshua had gone after The Burton Group, then he’d killed Prince Wright, and just a few days ago, he’d shot Leonard in public. Even though Joshua was the head of the Gardner family and no one could touch him for the time being, it was still having a negative impact on his reputation.

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...
