After being dropped at her apartment Stella immediately went to the fridge.
She opened it to see nothing... She remembered that she wasn't in the apartment for two weeks... She went to the sofa and sat down.
*Cough* *Cough* Stella coughed with no resistance, she had started to begin to understand how powerless her body felt compared to before.
"I've been ruined... I wonder if you will pick up my body and experiment on me again... Father." Stella mumbled with a crazy look in her eyes.
Stella heard light footsteps inside her apartment. She let them walk closer until she opened her mouth.
"How is it Vi?" Stella asked as she leaned back in her comfort.
"Blair has seized control of most of the company. He holds around 60% shares and only one director opposes him still." Vi reported, she tried to ignore the fact that her boss only had a limited time to live...
"Impressive, I always thought he had a nack at leadership." Stella commented, it was truly impressive that he took such control when half of the company was against him from the start...
Vi wanted to ask so many questions. She wanted to help her miss, she wanted her to live... But most importantly 'Do you care about your life Miss? Why are you accepting death?' She wished she could ask those two questions... But she couldn't bring herself to.
Stella spaced out and stared forward, she had lost her desire to live a long time ago. She is a walking zombie at this point. She is just waiting for people around her to take control of what they can... Then she will no longer impact anyone's lives...
But first, she wanted some fun. Stella's eyes shone as she thought about what happened tonight... "How is our guest?" Stella asked as her smile turned sinister
Vi ignored the smile and responded respectfully. "She had to be knocked out. She was too loud for Hill to be concentrating on his work."
Stella put her hand to her mouth and thought to herself. "If I remember rightly Amy had that manager she got cheated on by right? Bring him in as well. Start to centralize." Stella ordered, while it wouldn't make much sense to others. Vi understood what Stella meant.
Vi began to realize many things about Stella. Since learning she only had a limited time to live many things started to make sense. But Vi could only wonder what Stella's complete plans are...
...............
*****WARNING, THIS SCENE IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART*****
Zou groggily opened her eyes. All she could see in front of her was just darkness. She immediately becomes scared.
She frantically looked around. All she could remember was leaving the party after her plan to catch Stella sleeping with another man failed. She walked out of the hotel and then... What happened?
Zou went to shout for help... But then she realized that when she opened her mouth, nothing came out...
She started to sweat all over. Who kidnapped her? Why? What did they want with her?
Zou waited... And waited, she felt her throat dry, she felt her stomach rumble for the hundredth time...
'Am I going to die here?' She thought, she couldn't think of anything else.
After being exposed to the public of her misdeeds no one looked at her the same anymore. Her husband, Yuon, looked at her like she was dirt. Her in-laws? Ha! Both stayed well clear from her. Ignoring the times where Yuon mistreated her intentionally.
Father Ku... Didn't involve himself with anything within the family, he was often at the family ancestry most of the time.
Zou's fans completely turned on her. They thought she was an innocent and kind actress. Someone who wouldn't sleep around for roles since they are married to such a nice guy... But no! She betrayed them, so they no longer stayed fans.
Her 'friends' she had... All of them completely lost contact with her as her power and influence subsided they couldn't use her anymore.
'That bitch!' Zou could only blame one person for all of this, Stella!
She never cared about Stella when she was just a servant under the Fude family. But after learning she was a female and how she completely ruined her life... She couldn't forget it.
*Knock* *Knock* Zou heard the door in front of her knock twice. She went to scream for help... "h....elp." But only a measly whimper came out.
The door opened. The shine of a small light brought hope into Zou's eyes.
"How is your stay... Mrs Fude?" The voice she heard. Completely filled her with rage.
"St...ella." Zou looked at the woman who she had tried to drug at the party... How did it not go to plan?
"Glad you haven't gone crazy enough to forget who I am yet." Stella responded as the room became slightly brighter.
Zou could see Stella in her full glory... She was wearing a black dress which covered her entirely. Only showing off her legs... But Zou stared at her in jealousy.
*Sigh* "Women like you... Being jealous of things you don't have. Such a shame, if you took your good aspects you wouldn't need to be so self-centered about yourself." Stella took a chair from the corner and sat down in front of Zou.
Zou moved and tussled, but she couldn't move. Her arms were chained to the ceiling. Her legs to the floor, and her head had a collar around it connecting to the chains...
Stella's pale complexion contrasted to her black dress. She looked terrifying to Zou, she looked like a grim reaper ready to collect her soul...
Then was her smile. It seemed so bright, pure and innocent. But in the situation, she was in. How could it be so innocent?
"I wonder if it makes you feel better that your amazing husband has abandoned you?" Stella commented as she earned a glare from Zou.
Stella chuckled. "I mean... You've been here for at least four days... He hasn't even left his office yet." Stella smirked.
Zou looked down, tears in her eyes. Did she love Yuon? She loved the influence she could get from him. She would be lying if she said that she didn't feel something for someone she spent so much time with...
*Sigh* "How upsetting. A former actress not even getting recognition from fans anymore... Do you know that every single director has blacklisted you from their films?" Stella kept talking.
"That film that had the premiere... It got canceled. Such a shame. Your acting wasn't all that bad." Stella crossed her legs.
"Ah, but don't forget all those 'clients' you had... While some were completely ruined. Others controlled the rumors well. Some completely abhorred the thought of being said in the same sentence as you... So they completely blacklisted you from their lives." Stella's smile slowly turned malicious.
Zou shivered, she had no one who cared about her. Her parents wouldn't care about her. Her husband didn't care. Her fans, her 'clients'. Everyone has given up on her...
"But then you made your worst mistake." Stella's voice became frighteningly cold.
Zou inwardly was terrified, as her body started to shiver from fear. "What... Do... You... Want?" Zou managed to mumble.
Stella darkly chuckled. "You can't afford to give me anything. But... I do want one thing from you." Zou looked at the woman in front of her with fear in her eyes...
"I heard that you are pregnant?" Stella asked with a dark look.
Zou's eyes went wild. 'How did she know!?' She kept it such a secret. She found out a week after the wedding... Based on the time it was definitely Yuon's child. It was her only way to secure herself in the family...
"How did I know? Mmm, that's something someone as lowly as you wouldn't be able to understand." Stella smiled as she aimed her gaze straight to Zou's stomach.
"Don't... I'll... Do... Anything." Zou could take anything. But not her child, she needed it to stay in the Fude family.
Stella inwardly chuckled. She couldn't believe that Zou still thought that she would get out alive... How naive.
"Oh? That's good to hear." Stella's sinister smile gave Zou the creeps.
