Stella dwells in the city I Lagos, often she follows the news about Jeff and Beckys death, seeing that police are working tirelessly to know the core root of the incident, Governor Benard and his household cry and mourn Jeff. The death of his only child pained him to his bone marrow and he swore he must look for the mourderers and avenger his son's dead. He mobilize different police divisions including D.S.S. They all work tirelessly to ensure that they bring the mourderers to book, and give them the punishment due to them. But all their efforts to get Stella and Chucks down remain abortive
A year later, Stella's path crossed with Jack in the bank.
Oh my God, Jack is this you? Stella's face beaming with smile even when her heart won't stop breathing fast.
Young lady who are you? Is this how you go about stopping strangers and claiming you know them?
She removed her eyes glass.
Jack look at me this is Stella your wife.
You must be very very crazy, you my wife. are you mad? Despite everything you cost me? Already boiling in anger but he maintained because of the presence of people around.
Jack calm down I felt bad as you, I have been looking for you every in this world, even if you are not willing to accept me back atleast to know the whole. I am sorry for everything.
I don't have have time for this neither do I want to cause a scene. Stella what do you want?
Jack I haven't stop wanting you, I know alot has happened this few years but trust me it hasn't affect what I feel about you. I have never stop loving you and I want us to fix things please.
You are really sick trust me you are. So you mean you can just play with my heart, make me to be spending huge amount of money on you, I spent twenty million on that wedding. At the end what did you do? you abandoned me three days to the wedding and went to be with your ex. Is it because I didn't teach you a lesson?
Don't stop me again otherwise you will push me to commit murder. I am warning you.. Jack left angrily
Jack trust me it hasn't been easy for me…please don't show me violence because u can't withstand you, I am innocent over all those mess we went through.
please let's meet at Angel blu hotel tomorrow by 5pm please don't turn me down I will be there waiting.
Stella shouted as Jack kept walking, although he had her but didn't utter her a word…
Stella went home rejoicing and hoping jack come around tomorrow. While Jack on his part could not stop thinking about Stella, the whole memory became fresh again. He hated the past and he don't know whether to to be happy now or not.
In a dimly lit room, Stella stands before her wardrobe, emotions swirling within her. Tonight is not just any date; it's a chance to reclaim love, to rediscover the magic that once knight me and Jack.. Her fingers trace over the fabric of her dress, memories flooding back with each touch. With determination in her eyes, she selects an outfit that speaks to her strength and resilience, a symbol of the journey she's embarked upon. As she dresses, she whispers words of affirmation to herself, ready to open her heart once more. Stepping out into the night, she carries with her a renewed sense of hope, ready to embrace whatever the evening may bring.
Before the agreed time Stella is already at the hotel waiting patiently for him
After about 20mins Jack walked into the hotel, sighting Stella, he went and sit down at the table, refusing to talk to her and answering her greetings. Their breath visible in the chilly air. The setting sun casts a warm glow over them, creating a bittersweet ambiance.
Stella was overwhelmed by Jack's coming around and she don't know how to start the conversation since jack refused to utter a word since he came.
She took a deep breath, breaking the silence "I thought coming here would bring back the magic we once had."
Jack sighs, staring into the distance "I wanted to believe it too... but some things just can't be fixed."
Stella kept gazing at him, heart heavy with regret "I know I hurt you, and I'm sorry. I never meant for things to end this way."
He turn to face her, eyes shimmering with unshed tears "I wanted to believe that we could overcome anything together... but some wounds run too deep."
Stella reaches out, aching to touch him one last time "I'll always cherish the memories we shared, even if they're all we have left."
Jeff offers a sad smile, fortunately, sometimes love isn't enough."
But I fought for this, I went through hell. She sighs and continue I was set up by Becky. Including the naked photos, all were set up, I swear with my mother's grave it never meant to hurt you, it wasn't my fault. And that's why I swore to end their lives in a painful way. They shattered my life and my joy, they are evil and they deserve not to leave so I send them to their graves.
I don't know what to say but you shouldn't have taken laws into your hands, killing both of them shouldn't be an option. Commonly that's murder and the punishment can cause you your life as well. Well I had that both of them set you up but by then it was too late, I have moved on with Celine and I will advise you to do the same.
Stella's heart became heavy with regrets, pain and jealousy. Maybe I went too far, I shouldn't have killed them but that's all I wanted at that moment and I am not feeling bad about it…But please, you are the only one that knows about this please keep it a secret please. Don't sell me to the world because everyone has been against me since I was born. Please save me.
Jack sighed ladies any way is fine for old times sake.but please don't run your mouth again, and next always remember that revenge is not ideal.
Thank you but was it so easy for you to give up on us just like that?
Now that you found the truth wouldn't you have bring us to together to fix things again? If this is what love is to you then Jack you never loved me.
Will you shut your mouth and look at how easy it is for you to victimize me, you want to make me feel guilty yet you never told me that you are loose, you worked in the brothel, can you count how many men that have slept with you?
Yet you never mentioned all these to me. Here you are claiming love.
Upon hearing that, her demeanor shifted dramatically, her eyes widened in shame and she began to beg Jack…I was going to tell you but I was scared you may push me away. she cried
Love conquers it all, you should allow me decide that not playing me.(.his eyes became red as he stand up)
Like I told you I have move on and am leaving here, I don't want to see you around me again. Nonsense!
Stella cried until she shamefully exited the hotel premises.
It is Sunday morning 9:am Jack is still in bed, looking so weak and miserable. Yesterday drama at the hotel kept ringing in his head, he felt used and disappointed. Celine walked in..
Dear, you have been in this mood since yesterday evening. What is wrong with you?
Babe don't worry I will be fine.. Jack said,almost in whisper.
I know you as a responsible man, not this common silence is killing me already, what's bothering you.
I was with Stella yesterday, I saw her and we talked. Although she wanted us to fix things..
Rubbish! This little girl must have some guts, after everything she caused you? Oh is that why you are moody common dear cheer up ok …Celine raised him up to have his bath.. they were still talking when they had a knock on the gate. Few minutes later Stella stepped in, In so much anger boldly written all over her.
I want to get my man but Becky wouldn't allow her to pass and she blocked her.
You must be a shameless whore, the same man you abandoned when he needed you most? Get out from here.
Madam, respect yourself because if I unleash violence on you now, even hell will reject you. Leave my way now.
Stella was still speaking when Celine abruptly slapped her, immediately Stella returned the slap and both of them began to fight…
Jack couldn't comfortably watch the scene, upon the fact that he stills felt something for Stella, he left both of them and went into the room.
Few minutes later Celine was down while Stella kept twisting her mouth until the security man came into Celine's rescue and he walked Stella out.
Jack what is the meaning of that nonsense character you displayed out there? How irresponsible and unreasonable can you be? Jack, do you still love her?
A Lot of questions from Celine but Jack is not uttering a word.
For the last time do you still love her? Jack could see through the fire in her eyes and as such anything can happen.
Well if you so insist to know. Yes I still love her. Jack said in a low tone.
Then you are a foolish man. So after everything she did to you?
Stella did nothing to me, it was a setup and you know it. Jack answered, already acting all defensive.
So what happens to me? I don't have time for this nonsense because I know you don't know what you are talking about. Meanwhile I will deal with that little brat.
Despite Stella's persistent attempts to reclaim Jack's affection, Celine proved formidable. For three weeks their rivalry escalated with attempts on each other's lives. Stella's downfall came when Celine exposed her involvement in Jeff's death and Becky's death leading to her life imprisonment.
In the end, Jack and Celine married, while Stella faced the consequences of her actions.
