The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1756
But if Leonard refused to comply, there was nothing she could do about it.
Admittedly, when Leonard offered her thirty percent of the company's shares, she had been tempted for a fleeting moment. But once she came to her senses, Stella didn't believe he would part with something so valuable that easily.
It wasn't three percent; it was thirty percent. Obtaining those shares meant gaining control of the Lerman family's most vital asset.
He had been in love with Aurora for so many years, yet he had only given her three percent. Was it really possible he'd give Stella thirty percent just for spending three months with him? Unlikely.
She had to find a way to escape. Though the island seemed to have no exits, there had to be a way out she hadn't discovered yet. In the meantime, she needed to maintain a delicate balance in her relationship with Leonard.
***
The next day, when Leonard came downstairs, he was about to ask a servant if Stella was awake when he saw a slender figure emerging from the kitchen carrying a bowl of hot soup.
Stella paused when she saw him. Then, she spoke. "I don't know what you like for breakfast, so I just made a few simple things. You can write down a list of your preferences later, and I'll try to make what you like in the future."
Leonard had brought her here for a reason. Stella knew she had to play along, at least within acceptable limits. Otherwise, his so-called interest in her might shift to something more physical.
"Make whatever you like or whatever you're good at," Leonard said. "I'm not a picky eater."

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....
