Stella, don’t you dare walk away.”

Seeing Stella about to leave, panic flashed across Jasmine’s face. She tried to push through the crowd but got squeezed tight, barely able to move.

“Stella, you can’t just do something like that and pretend it didn’t happen.”

Before she could get far, the crowd closed in around Jasmine.

Ruby pulled her close.

Her whole body trembled, but she still stroked Jasmine’s back gently. “It’s okay. Mom’s here.”

“Mom…”

Jasmine broke down sobbing.

Stella had hit her father–so why was everyone still on Stella’s side?

Stella was just some girl from a convent, a nobody. So why would someone like Elias, a man with real power, be interested in her?

“Don’t take her. Please. She’s all I have. She’s all I have left.

“I’m begging you. Please give her back.”

She stumbled, Fell.

Pushed herself up and kept running, but she couldn’t catch up. Couldn’t reach her.

Through the car window, Stella watched it all. Her gaze stayed calm.
