Chapter 71 Threat
"Why are you here?" Stella looked at Theo fiercely, which made Theo raise both his arms. "I just want to meet you!" Theo answered and tried to walk towards her. "Nah! Just stay there!" Stella told him right away, "Can't you just give me a hug?" Theo said, and Stella shook her head in disbelief. "Can you hear what you are saying?" Stella told him sarcastically. "What's wrong with that?" Theo asked her again.
Elder Remus got out of their house and saw his daughter talking to Theo. "I told you to leave, Theo!" He said, which made Theo face him. "I miss your daughter, Elder Remus!" Theo answered and a smirk plastered in his face. "Do you think this is fun, huh?" Elder Remus told him seriously, "I will be back and claim what is mine.
Stella didn't say anything and watched Theo leave, "He really has the guts to come here!" Flora said while shaking her head in disbelief. "What is happening, Mommy?" Bryce asked while looking at his mother. "Nothing, honey!" Stella answered and patted Bryce's head.
They went inside the house, and Elder Remus helped Stella to bring her things inside. "You have a lot of things!" Elder Remus murmured when they finished putting all the suitcase. "Yeah, I bought a lot of things!" Stella answered and handed her father a glass of water.
They were in the living room when Daisha showed up with Darrel. "Oh! I didn’t expect that I would see you here!" Daisha greeted her sister and looked at Bryce. "Good afternoon, handsome!" She added while looking at Bryce. "Are you going back to your house?" Stella asked her sister, and Daisha nodded her head. "Yep, Darrel has a job to do!" Daisha answered and winked at her sister.
"Then, it is finally goodbye now!" Stella told her, and Daisha nodded her head. "Don't worry, I will visit you often!" Daisha teased her sister, and Stella rolled her eyes at Daisha. "Nah! I'm fine!" Stella said and looked at Bryce who was playing with Flora.
"Bryce, we are leaving now! Bye!" Daisha bid her goodbyes to Bryce, "When can I see you again?" Bryce asked his Aunt Daisha. "Aww! Maybe next week!" Daisha answered and smiled at him. "Really?" Bryce asked her, "Yeah! I promise!" Daisha answered and hugged Bryce tightly.
Daisha stood up straight and looked at her father, "You should think twice before making a decision, Dad!" She advised her father. "Yeah, I will!" Elder Remus answered and hugged his eldest daughter. "Hey! Thank you, Flora!" Daisha said and winked at Flora.
"We are going now!" Darrel told them, and Stella nodded her head at him. Daisha walked into the main door and Darrel was following her, "Bye, guys!" Daisha said and opened it.
When Daisha and Darrel left, Flora also bid her goodbyes to Stella. "I will be back tomorrow!" Flora told her, "You can take a rest, Flora! I am fine!" Stella told her, but Flora shook her head. "Nah, I will visit you tomorrow!" Flora answered and ended the conversation.
Flora left when Tyros came to fetch her, "They are gone now, Mommy!" Bryce said while playing with his toys. "But I am still here!" Stella told her son and played with him. "I will get a maid for Bryce!" Elder Remus said, which made Stella look at him.
"Why though?" Stella asked her father, "So you can focus on your work!" Elder Remus answered. Stella nodded her head, "That's fine with me but I need to meet her first." Stella answered.
A couple days passed, and Stella went back to work in her cafe. She made herself busy so she wouldn't think about her failed marriage. She was getting ready for her work when Bryce came inside her room. "Can I play with Uncle Brandon, Mommy?" Bryce asked her permission. Stella looked at him for a second and nodded her head.
"Just tell him to fetch you here!" Stella said, and Bryce nodded his head. He borrowed his mother's phone and called Brandon from it.
Brandon was doing his job in the office when his phone rang. He was startled when he saw Stella's name from it, "Why is she calling me?" He asked himself and answered the call.
'Hello?' He asked the other line.
'Uncle Brandon!' Bryce called him, which made Brandon smile.
'Hey, young boy!' Brandon told him and waited for his answer.
'Can we play?' Bryce asked him, and Brandon looked at his table loaded with his unfinished works.
'Of course! I will fetch you! Did you tell your Mommy about this?' Brandon asked him and heard Stella's voice from the other line.
'Yep, and she said yes!' Bryce answered, and Brandon smiled while looking at his table.
Tyros showed up in Brandon's office and caught him smiling while talking to someone over the phone.
"Who are you talking—
Brandon immediately covered Tyros' mouth when he tried to talk to him.
'Okay, wait for me!' Brandon said and ended the call.
"Who is that?" Tyros asked him right away, "Bryce!" Brandon answered and started fixing his things. "Where are you going? We need to finish our work today!" Tyros told him, but Brandon didn't listen to Tyros.
Brandon got his bag and went to the door, "I'm still talking to you!" Tyros said and followed him to the hallway. "If you keep following me then I will break one of your legs!" Brandon told him, and Tyros immediately nodded his head.
"Fine!" Tyros said and stopped following Brandon.
Stella was waiting for Brandon in the living room. She couldn't leave Bryce alone in their house. She rejected the maid that her father was talking about, "Mom, do I look good?" Bryce asked his mother. "You are always looking good!" Stella answered and kissed Bryce's cheek.
A car stopped in front of their house, and Stella held Bryce's hand. "Let's go, he's here!" Stella said, and they headed to the main door.
"I'm stuck in the traffic!" Brandon told her as soon as they met each other. "It is fine!" Stella answered and opened the door of Brandon's car. She put Bryce's bag inside the car, "Be a good boy, huh!" Stella told her son and kissed his head. "I will, Mommy!" Bryce answered and hugged Stella tightly.
"Okay, get inside!" Stella said and held the door. Bryce went inside the car, and Stella closed the door.
She looked at Brandon, "I will wire you the money later!" Stella told him. "For what?" Brandon asked her confusingly, "Just give me your account number!" Stella told him and started walking away.
Stella went inside her car and looked at Brandon before driving away. She reached her cafe and parked her car outside. "Good morning!" One of her staff members greeted her, "Good morning!" She answered and smiled at her.
They started working in the cafe, and Stella was in the kitchen to help their crew. "Ma'am, someone is looking for the manager!" A staff member ran towards Stella, "Okay! Lead the way and I will talk to them!" Stella answered, and they left the kitchen.
Stella was following her staff until they reached a table with a man sitting in front of it. "Hi, sir! I am the—
She couldn't finish what she was saying when the man turned around. "You can leave us!" She instructed her staff member, "Okay, ma'am!" Her staff member answered and walked away.
"You are taking your business seriously, huh!" Theo said while looking around. Stella took a deep breath and smiled at him, "What is the problem, sir?" Stella asked him and didn't mind what he said.
"Can you stay with me while I am eating?" Theo asked her, which made Stella smirk at him. "That is not included in my job description, sir!" Stella answered, and Theo smiled at her. "Yeah, I know but this is a special request from your mate." Theo answered.
Stella shook her head in disbelief while smiling at Theo, "You really have the guts to tell me that!" Stella said and looked at him seriously. "I am still your mate!" Theo said, and Stella nodded her head.
"If you are not going to order anything from here, you are free to leave." Stella said and turned her back to Theo. "You should bid your goodbyes at him because starting tomorrow he will stop seeing the sun rays anymore." Theo said and stood up from his seat. "Who are you talking about?" Stella asked him, but Theo just shook his head.
"See you soon!" Theo said and waved his hand at her. Stella couldn't focus on her work so she decided to leave early. She went to the mansion, and the security let her go inside the mansion.
A lot of maids greeted her as soon as she arrived at the main door. "Where is Brandon?" She asked the maid, "He's not here, ma'am!" The maid answered, and Stella immediately got her phone from her pocket.
She was calling Brandon but he didn't answer her call. She decided to call Tyros,
'Stella!' Tyros said right away.
'Are you with Brandon?' Stella asked him,
'Nah, I'm in the office!' Tyros answered, and Stella started to freak out.
'Okay, message me if you reach Brandon. Please ask him where I can see them.' Stella said and ended the call.
Stella went back to her car and left the mansion. She was on her way back to their house and trying to contact Brandon.
"Come on, answer my call!" Stella murmured while driving. She was startled when Brandon talked from the other line,
'Stella?' Brandon called her name.
'Where are you?' Stella asked him right away.
'Are you driving right now?' Brandon asked her when he heard a siren from Stella's line.
'Yep! Send me your location.' Stella answered and ended the call.
Stella parked her car beside the road and waited for Brandon’s message. She drove away when she got his message. She was using a map to go to their location, "What are you doing here?" Stella asked Brandon when she got there.
"We are playing baseball so we need a huge place." Brandon answered and called Bryce. "Mommy!" Bryce said and hugged Stella.
"Are you okay?" Stella asked her son, and Bryce nodded his head. "I'm good at pitching, Mommy!" Bryce answered and hopped cheerfully. "That's good! I just need to talk to Uncle Brandon for a while." Stella said and looked around.
"Can you stay in the car?" She added, and Bryce nodded his head. She accompanied Bryce until they reached her car. She opened the door and helped Bryce to get inside the car.
Stella closed the door and called Brandon to get close, "What is it?" Brandon asked her. "I saw Theo earlier at the cafe!" She answered, which made Brandon shake his head. "What did he do to you?" Brandon asked her right away. "Nothing, but he told me something." Stella answered, and Brandon was waiting for whatever she would say.
"He gave me a warning and I think he was talking about you. Be careful!" Stella said, and Brandon felt happy when he realised that Stella was still concerned about him. "He can't lay his finger on me." He said, and Stella nodded her head.
"He will try to attack you tonight!" Stella said, and Brandon took that in his mind. "Thank you for telling me that!" Brandon said and stepped closer to Stella. "We are going now, thank you for taking care of my son. I will wire you the money!" Stella told him and turned her back at him.
Stella went inside her car and looked at Brandon before checking Bryce at the back.
"Buckle your seatbelt, honey!" Stella told her son, and Bryce immediately did what Stella instructed him to do. She started the engine of her car and looked at Brandon again.
"Are we going now, Mommy?" Bryce asked her, and Stella nodded her head. "We need to go home as fast as we can." Stella answered and started driving away.
When they reached their house, Stella parked her car in the garage right away. She saw her father outside their house, "You are in a hurry?" Elder Remus asked his daughter. "We are just going to stay at Daisha's house." Stella said, which made her father confused.
"But why?" Elder Remus asked his daughter again, "I need to protect my son!" Stella answered and held Bryce's hand.Download Novelah App
