Cecelia handed Nathaniel the blank check that Elena had given her. “She gave me this and wanted me to leave you.” 

Nathaniel stared at the check. “You agreed?”

It was easy to see how both Nathaniel and Zachary could be captivated by the charm of a beauty with such a wistful allure. 

When Cecelia shifted her gaze away and looked back, Nathaniel had already walked over. 

The moment Stella saw him, a wave of emotion washed over her, causing tears to fall uncontrollably. “Nathaniel.” 

Nathaniel knitted his brows, puzzled as to why she would come here at this hour. 

Unmindful of her surroundings, Stella walked straight up to Nathaniel, tears streaming down her cheeks. “Nathaniel, that guy came back shortly after you left…” 

She spoke, lifting her arm to reveal a canvas of bruises. “He wanted to take me away, refused. So, he tried to drag me to jump off the building. I was so scared…”
