Stella sometimes felt afraid, if indeed Dexter would come to her, and destroy her happiness together with Jasper, and his son named Immanuel. But indeed, how long had he been living in Texas, in fact he had not seen any signs of monitoring Dexter Franklin, who was probably monitoring his and Jasper's activities there.
Maybe now his fear, if he will be forced by Dexter to be his wife. And also it really became a fright for Stella. Sometimes Stella doesn't know how to deal with if, for example, Dexter is in that city and keeps terrorizing her to get back to that man.
Even though he has stated many times that he does not want to be the life partner of Dexter Franklin. But maybe she was the woman who could drive Dexter crazy. Because Stella's figure was a woman who reminded Dexter of Adelle. And indeed sometimes Stella was equally difficult how she had to distance herself and her family, from the threat of Dexter Franklin.
