The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover by Caesar Erickson novel Chapter 1586

Chapter 1586
Stella was dragged downstairs and stood there, stunned and unsure. Andre walked towards her and said, “Stella…”
Seeing her distraught appearance, Andre thought she was scared and quickly patted her shoulder. “Don’t be afraid, Eric is dead. No one will bother you anymore.”
Stella suppressed her sadness and smiled, a smile that was both relieved and bitter. “Yes, he’s dead. No one will bother me anymore. It’s really good.”
Andre didn’t notice her emotions and thought she was genuinely happy. He turned around and pointed in the distance.
“Taya and Harper are waiting for you over there…”
Following Andre’s pointing finger, Stella saw Taya and Harper standing under the ship, waiting for her from afar.
As if sensing her presence, Taya and Harper hurriedly walked towards her, almost running, and embraced her.
Feeling a hint of warmth, Stella also hugged them back. But for some reason, even with their support, Stella’s heart felt like it was being entangled by vines, sinking slowly, suffocating her with a suppressive feeling…
She didn’t say anything, just rested her chin on Taya’s shoulder
and didn’t even dare to look back as Eric’s body was carried down and put into the hearse…
Taya raised her fair hand and gently stroked Stella’s back. When she saw Stella rush out of the hospital room, she knew Stella felt guilty towards Eric and had some indescribable emotions…
This emotion might come from killing someone she once loved with her own hands, or from the sudden death of someone who had been a constant presence for years, or maybe…
Did Stella still love Eric? Only she knew the answer, and even Taya, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn’t discern it clearly…
After comforting Stella, Taya released her and planned to take her on board. However, as she looked up, she saw Camille pushing Silas out of the villa’s gate…
Taya was momentarily surprised, but then remembered that Silas was Eric’s close friend. It wasn’t surprising that he would find out about what happened and appear here.
Camille tried to pass by Taya while pushing Silas, but he raised his hand to stop her. He greeted her politely and distantly, like seeing a relative.
He greeted Harper first and then nodded to her, maintaining a
perfect sense of propriety With hout crossing any boundaries. Taya
also nodded and called him “Silas”.
He didn’t say anything more and just gave some instructions for Taya and Harper to take care of themselves. Taya replied, telling him to take care of his leg, and he responded with an “okay” before letting Camille push him away…
Harper, worried about Silas who had just lost a good friend, quickly followed them.
Seeing Harper comforting Silas as they walked, Taya felt relieved. With Harper by her side, Silas would feel better.
She watched Silas board the ship and then held onto Harper’s hand, returning to Griffon’ ship. Before boarding, Griffon came out of the cabin and bent down to hold Taya’s hand, leading her onto the ship…
Silas, standing on the other ship, saw Taya boarding and naturally linked arms with Griffon. He tilted his chin up and whispered something in Griffon’ ear, but Silas couldn’t hear it. He only felt that this couple was harmonious and deeply in love.
After all, that tall man would rather stoop down to match his wife’s height than let her stand on tiptoes.
Even after his wife finished speaking, he still didn’t straighten up. He just raised his fingers and gently ruffled her hair, as if comforting her and telling her not to worry.
It was just a simple and subtle gesture, but Sil a s’s eyes gradually turned red. It turned out that seeing the girl he once loved fall in love with another man was even more painful than not being able to have her…
Sila s’s lips curled into a faint smile, and in that gentle smile, a sense of relief slowly appeared. The woman he loved had found someone who loved her just as much, and that was a kind of happiness. Rather than holding on, it was better to bless her. As long as she was happy, it was enough…
