Being under ninety pounds at her height was absolutely ridiculous!
Thank goodness she had a naturally round face... otherwise, looking in the mirror would have terrified her.
"Oh."
Stella didn't argue.
Before marrying Julian, her grandmother had made sure she was healthy and glowing with a little baby fat.
After joining the Sinclair family, she had lost over thirty pounds!
That parasitic ghost had stressed her mother out so much she lost weight overseas too!
And her own body had been tortured into losing thirty pounds while serving the Sinclairs!
When the Sinclairs ate, she stood and served!
When they finished, she cleaned up their mess.
After everything was done, she barely had time for a few bites of whatever was left!
Stella Channing had never eaten leftovers in her life, but that ghost forced her body to eat scraps every single day.
If she didn't find that ghost and skin it alive, she wasn't Stella Channing!
Her phone vibrated with an incoming call. It was Sebastian's.
The man glanced at the caller ID, and his already stern face darkened further.
He picked it up and walked straight into the study without a word.
As soon as he left, Stella's phone started ringing. It was Vincent Channing.
He had been calling her non-stop since last night.
But her phone was set to do-not-disturb mode.
From ten-thirty at night until nine in the morning!
During those hours, no calls would show up on her screen.
And now...
The moment it hit nine o'clock and the block lifted, Vincent's call flashed on her screen.
Stella answered, "Mr. Channing."
"What... what did you do to Xander?"
Vincent's voice trembled through the speaker.
He and Beatrice had received the gift yesterday—the bloody, gruesome gift!
From the second he saw it, he had been trying to call her.
First, her phone was off...
Then it rang, but she simply ignored it.
No one knew the hell Vincent had endured through the night. Beatrice had cried until she passed out, woken up, and passed out again!
Before Stella could speak, Vincent roared, "Did the Sinclairs mistreat you? Why couldn't you just stay there and be a good wife? Why are you making such a scene?!"
He had personally gone to Westside Heights last night to find her!
Only to discover she had sold the property...
