The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover

Chapter 1570

Chapter 1570 Back then, Eric felt really uncomfortable when she heard those words, but she didn’t understand why she felt that way. On Stella’s eighteenth birthday, Karen told Eric that Stella would be traveling to another country with Mason tonight. The discomfort in Eric’s heart gradually turned into resentment, as he always thought that if someone else touched his Stella, he would be furious. He sent people to intercept Mason’s ship and had Stella pulled down from it, just to scare her a little. Little did he know that those people would actually act for real… At that time, he was in the car, unable to see the dim environment under the thick car tint, and couldn’t hear the distant cries for help. He thought his people were just scaring Stella, but he never expected… Looking back, Eric deeply regretted it. It was his recklessness and immaturity, and he blamed the butler for calling him away with an urgent phone call, otherwise, in such a long time, he would have noticed that something was wrong… When he was young, he thought that this was a way to punish Stella, but he didn’t expect that the person being punished would be himself. Even though he later dealt with those people, he still couldn’t forget the scene of seeing Stella covered in injuries when he returned… Thinking back to that time, Eric’s heart trembled. He instinctively held Stella tightly and whispered in her ear, filled with guilt, “I’m sorry…”

Each apology made Stella tighten her grip on his hand, even though she didn’t know exactly what he was apologizing for. But no matter what it was, she couldn’t accept his apologies. Feeling Stella’s hatred, Eric leaned in again and gently kissed her lips, saying, “I will treat you well, I promise to treat you well in the future…” Stella still didn’t open her eyes or respond to his words. She just pushed his hand away, turned to the side, and gazed at the moonlight outside the window. Time passed, and Eric approached her again, embracing her. “If we could go back to the day of your eighteenth birthday, I would listen to your confession carefully…” Stella interrupted Eric directly, “If we could go back to that day, I would stab you to death with a knife…” Eric stopped speaking, slowly withdrawing his words. After about ten minutes, a sigh of helplessness came from behind him. “I’m sorry…” Stella remained silent, staring at the sea outside the window, lost in thought for an hour, two hours, three hours, until she saw a brightly lit speedboat approaching the island in the distance… Stella immediately realized that it was Taya and the others who had found her. A glimmer of hope rose in her heart, but she didn’t want to wake Eric. She quietly uncovered the corner of the blanket and slowly moved towards the edge of the bed. Perhaps because of the previous night’s experience, Stella didn’t dare to make any sudden movements. She stayed by the bed for a long time, then turned back and looked at Eric, waiting silently. Seeing that he seemed to be really asleep, she finally dared to get

up. She still didn’t put on any shoes, quietly and slowly moved towards the door. She didn’t move until she walked out of the door, crouching in place, peering through the cra ck, looking at the man inside, waiting for a long time, but he never came out. Slowly, she stood up… After she left the mansion, the speedboat also stopped. When Stella saw the figure coming down from the speedboat, she was startled. She didn’t even care if she stepped on weeds or thorns, and quickly ran towards Henry. Henry’s heart hung in the balance until he saw Stella on this small island. He quickly approached her, wanting to embrace her, but Stella pushed him away. “Go quickly, you can’t handle Eric alone, go back and bring more people… Stella was very clear-headed, but Henry insisted on taking her with him after seeing her. “Stella, don’t be afraid, come with me now. Eric won’t catch up…” He had specifically rented a speedboat to arrive faster. He had planned to sneak onto the island in the middle of the night and find Stella, but he didn’t expect her to run out as soon as he arrived. This was even better, there was no need to search anymore, he could just take her away. Henry pulled Stella and quickly ran towards the beach. Just as they were about to get on the speedboat, a gunshot rang out, followed by a bullet that swiftly passed through the speedboat. Both of them, standing in the water, turned their heads at the sound of the gunshot, looking at the person who fired the shot… Eric, wearing a white shirt, raised the gun in his hand. After blowing away the smoke from the muzzle, he walked slowly towards them…Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
