Adrian had been trying to compose himself and act civil as he watched Alex cuddle and soothe Stella as if he were her boyfriend. The last straw that broke the camel's back was the kiss on her forehead. Without thinking of the impact of his words on Stella. Adrian spilled the only information Alex had been kind enough to give him.
"Baby ..." Adrian sat down on the left side of Stella's bed. Someone had you beaten, drugged and almost killed. You have been unconscious for a whole day and I don't ..."
"Can you please shut the hell up and allow me to talk to her?" Alex instantly lost his cool, his eyes shooting daggers at Adrian.
"What am I doing? Singing!" Adrian returned Alex's chilly gaze while suppressing the urge to drag Stella away from him.
"Can you two stop quibbling and give me some answers? Stella snapped angrily, freeing herself from Alex's embrace which she noticed was eating Adrian up.
