Stella's tone was flat. "To be honest, I didn't go to Novaris to visit Keen. I went to avoid you. Joshua, you're suffocating me. I had no choice but to run."
Through the receiver, she heard his heavy, rapid breathing. Worried he was just stalling for time, she didn't say another word and hung up.
She immediately instructed the pilot for takeoff.
With a deafening roar, the private jet ascended into the sky.
Outside, heavy clouds gathered, mirroring the dense gloom weighing on Stella's heart.
Just as the plane lifted off, she spotted a familiar silhouette on the tarmac. Dressed entirely in black, he stood out starkly against the empty expanse of the airport, looking as though he were the only person left in the world.
As the plane climbed higher, his figure shrank, eventually becoming a tiny speck before vanishing completely.
In that moment, Stella felt a sudden, hollow emptiness in her chest.
...
Upon landing in Neo-Vespera, Stella was immediately picked up by Haynes's men.
She suspected it wouldn't be long before Joshua followed her. Sure enough, shortly after arriving at Haynes's estate, she received word that Joshua's flight had just touched down.
Keen was overjoyed to see her.
"You mentioned earlier that the house was burglarized and a lot of things were stolen," Stella said. "What exactly did you lose?"
"I'll show you, Mom," Keen replied.

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....
