Everything was back to normal, and Stella parents were very grateful to Shane. The love birds are also back in their romance. Alex is only waiting for the so called promise to be fulfilled and take her as his wife.
Shane wasn't alright when he found out about their relationship, he felt something off and begin investigating. If the two didn't meet after Alex's absence for all those years, they shouldn't be in such harmony now.
He always gets what he wants and wouldn't let Stella be an exemption, she is the reason he could still smile like a human. This craziness, this obsessed feeling, the need to get her whether she likes it or not, to him is deep love and he believes to be the right thing, not having any idea how it's complete opposite of it.
Just as he suspected, he found out about her travels, and also the fact that Stella parent has made this same findings but tells him she left to take care of her friend twins when he asked of her.
