Alexander had now assumed his father’s former role–he had a new life and a potential wife, so how could be allow history to repeat itself
Thinking of this, Stella shuddered
In a flash of memory, the recalled a rainy night many years ago
He had told her father: “TII take care of Stella for the rest of her life. I will
never disappoint her.”
That’s why her cancer–stricken father had driven his truck straight into that hury sports car without hesitation.
Her father had sacrificed his remaining life to elevate Alexander to his current position.
But later, she discovered her father’s cancer diagnosis report had been forged
And now, having reached the pinnacle of success, he was growing tired of her, eager to discard her–this burden, this stain, this baggage
Stella lowered her head, a flash of viciousness crossing her eyes
J
In the dim study, she crawled to Alexander’s foot like a venomous snake
Using her most pitiful voice, she whispered: “Alexander, you promised me forever.”
“I don’t expect to be your only one, but I should at least be one of them.” She pleaded: “You promised me!”
Alexander crouched down, barely maintaining his patience: “Stella, we should have ended five years ago. If not for this child, we would have been done long ago.”
He said: “What you did to Bailey–I won’t hold it against you. Just let go.”
Stella laughed silently to herself]
They had committed these unconscionable acts together, yet he now placed all blame on her shoulders.]]
Just like before–he had wanted to kill Mrs. Winters and his half–brother to clear his path, yet in the end, her father was the one who died.]
He had promised her forever–since he wouldn’t give it, she would take it herself.
In the darkness, Stella pulled out the ceramic shard
SLASTI!
The sharp edge sliced across Alexander’s throat, instantly severing his windpipe.
“You…
He clutched his neck, eyes widening in disbelief.]
Stella stood up, her smile ghostly in the dim light.
“Alexander, you can’t abandon me. Never
Speaking these words, she grabbed a decorative dagger from the desk, unsheathed it, and plunged it into Alexander’s body.
Blood pooled on the thick carpet as Stella’s shrill laughter echoed through the silent mansion
The next day, Stella walked out of the villa and turned herself in at the police station
- s. Winters and her son, to administering slow acting poison to
She confessed to multiple crimes–from Alexander instructing her father to crash into Mrs. Mr. Winters causing his suffocation, to her own crimes
Once revealed, the case created a massive sensation.
And Winters Corporation’s operations came under investigation, along with their protective connections, exposing everything to the light]
Badey also reclaimed her true identity, revealing all she knew about the truth, actively cooperating with the investigation
The happiest of all were Bailey’s parents. For this couple, having their daughter return to them was God’s greatest blessing. Everything else no longer mattered.]
Soon, Bailey’s parents wanted her to move back home.
Bailey returned to the Hayes mansion to pack her belongings
In the short six months, she hadn’t realized how many things she had accumulated.
Julian stood in the doorway, saying softly: “I thought this would be a prolonged battle.“[]
Bailey fixed her hair in the mirror, watching his reflection leaning against the doorframe: “Yes, I never expected it to end so quickly.”
After a pause, she added: “This is what they call “evil is repaid with evil‘ and ‘those who do wrong will eventually face consequences”
She finished arranging her hair as Julian approached, selecting a pair of pearl earrings for her. These weren’t the ones Alexander had given her, but Julian’s gin
Bailey turned her head slightly, allowing him to fasten the earrings.
They walked downstairs together.
Do your parents insist you move back? Can’t you stay?” he asked
“Of course not. My parents will miss me,” she replied
I’ll miss you too.”
“Then you can come visit me.”
Outside, the sunlight shone brilliantly
After the harsh winter, spring had arrived in full splendor
