Chapter 3 Chapter 3

Stella heard his voice and stopped.

There was a little bit of hope in her heart.

The man's eyes were dark and cold, filled with mysterious thoughts, and a layer of fog surrounded him.

Suddenly, he spoke...

"I don't want this child. Don't forget to abort."

RK looked at the woman in front of him and thought...

She seemed like a pure and beautiful woman, and he didn't want her to carry his burden.

Stella's hand, which was holding her luggage, trembled, and the little bit of hope in her heart vanished.

She felt like someone had stabbed a knife into her heart. He had broken her heart so many times, but... she didn't know why she still felt hurt every time it happened.

"Boooom."

His words exploded in her head like a bomb, and the little bit of hope she had left in her heart was also gone.

The hands holding the bag tightened.

She felt like someone had stabbed her heart, and she could smell the blood.

Suddenly, she laughed at herself...

She felt like a fool. How could she expect anything from a man who was so cold toward his child?

"If you don't want this child, then why did you sleep with me?" She wanted to yell at him, but in the end, she didn't say anything.

He had once told her that he liked children, which was why she hadn't taken the pills. But...

It was as if he liked children but not with her.

Stella's heart was in so much pain, but she didn't want to let him see her tears. She didn't turn around, keeping her back facing him.

Stella took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Kingston, don't think too much. I also don't want this child at all. I have already decided to abort it."

She was about to leave but then stopped and said,

"One more thing, I hope we don't see each other again in this life."

After she said, Stella didn't stop for a minute and left. At first, she didn't want to leave this place, but now...

She felt suffocated.

Stella held her bag tightly and left without looking back.

RK watched the woman's back, struggling to keep herself straight and not stumble.

His eyes were dark and filled with unreadable emotions.

Only after her figure disappeared from his sight did his tense back relax.

Flashback end

"I am sorry, I didn't see you..."

Suddenly, a man bumped into Stella, who was standing in the hallway. Files fell to the ground.

But because of this she also came back to reality...

"No, I am sorry," she said, helping him pick up the files before going into the elevator. As the elevator door opened, Jack Paul stood outside and greeted her.

Jack Paul looked at Stella with a smile and said, "Stella, here you are. How are you? You are new here. If you need anything, please feel free to tell me."

Stella looked at him and nodded. "I am fine, thank you."

As they talked, they went to his office and sat down.

Jack looked at Stella and said, "Stella, I am very happy that you accepted my offer and came back." As he spoke, he handed her a red file and continued, "I am sure you have heard that our company is going to be acquired by someone. This file contains the reports I made; take a look."

Stella took the file and nodded.

Jack continued, "Many companies want to buy our company, but among all of them, RK Groups is the best. However, the price offered by Mr. RK was too low." He paused and said, "This time, I ask you to come back so that you can turn the situation around."

"RK Groups... Rene Kingston..."

Stella's hands holding the file trembled.

The memories she had locked away deep down in her heart suddenly resurfaced. Stella calmed herself and said,

"I will do my best."

"That's good," Jack laughed and said. "Now that you have taken on this project, I am not worried anymore."
