"Ms. Cameron."
Laurel Quinn's crisp voice came through the receiver. "Did you need something?"
"Have you double-checked Joshua's hypnosis?" Stella asked.
"Yeah. Beckett and I took Joshua to see Dr. Hunt a couple of days ago," Laurel replied. "So far, the hypnosis is holding up perfectly."
Stella fell silent.
Sensing the heavy pause, Laurel's intuition flared.
"Stella, did you find something out?"
Stella didn't answer directly. "Knowing Joshua as well as you do, what would he do if he suddenly remembered everything?"
Laurel hesitated, weighing the question. "Most likely, one of two things: complete indifference, or total retaliation."
"He accepted the breakup before the memories faded. Even if he remembers, he'll likely just view it as a failed romance. Just like any normal person would move on and ignore their ex after a split, starting fresh."
"As for retaliation... Joshua never lets a grudge go. If he believes you played him, he will seek revenge. As far as I know, nobody who crosses him has ever walked away unscathed."
Stella remained quiet.
Laurel lowered her voice cautiously. "Stella, did you notice something off about him?"
Stella had always prided herself on understanding Joshua, but right now, she felt completely lost. She didn't hide anything from Laurel, outlining every strange encounter that had happened between them recently.
Listening to the timeline, Laurel frowned deeply.
"So, has he made any romantic or suggestive moves toward you?" she asked.

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...
