Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

"Say something." Stefan felt the dreed seep in when he noted Ella's silence after he finished speaking those words.

He noticed how her grip on the ice cream cup tightened and her eyes were tormented with feelings he couldn't quite understand.

"Did he also force Eveline's mother?" Ella asked, blinking her lethargy away and turning to stare directly into his eyes.

Jedrick was a nasty guy in her eyes, regardless of the circumstances.

"I do not know. Gabriel did reveal anything about it," he said in a whisper, making Ella clench her jaw.

"I wonder how many lives he destroyed and how he never felt regret," Ella spat, appalled by the guy who was, sadly, her father.

"Things are getting more complicated, which is why I want everyone of us to stay cautious." Stefan sighed.

Ella took him seriously and understood all he was saying.

Slowly extending her hand, she caressed the back of his head and ran her fingers through his hair. "Don't be so stressed. "Everything will be fine as long as we are strong enough to overcome all odds," she added, forcing a smile.

"You make it sound so simple that I want to believe you, but my heart is still uneasy, Ella. I recognized how our lives are linked in some way, which is why we share such a close tie and even feel powerless when somebody gets into trouble," he said.

Stefan was a sensitive person when it came to his family and friends, and he never imagined any of them being injured.

Jedrick was like an endless pit striving to subdue everyone, and it terrified him to some extent that he would succeed, leaving them helpless.
