Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

Beck paused in his tracks, shaking his head at the sheer audacity of some people. If she wanted to kneel, then so be it.

Stella had just escaped the torment at Jason's place, and she was barely holding on. The moment Beck's silhouette disappeared from view, she collapsed, unconscious.

Beck's team, unsure of what to do next, quickly sought his instructions. Beck, with a nonchalant shrug, directed them to take her to the hospital.

This time, Stella's illness was severe, much like the last. Her fever stubbornly refused to break, despite the doctor's numerous attempts to treat her. Beck didn't rush to send her away, though. He had a gala to attend that evening and couldn't be bothered to stay by her bedside.

Once he left, Stella picked up her phone and called Dave.

"Dave, have you gotten away from Jason yet?"

Dave, who'd been sticking around Jason just to keep tabs on Stella, had already made his quiet exit once she was no longer there.

"Can you get me a certain drug? I need it now."

As Dave listened to her request, a flicker of shock crossed his eyes.

"Stella, you can't possibly be thinking..."

Stella nodded, then realized he couldn't see her through the phone.
