The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover

Chapter 1572
After dragging Henry into the birdcage room, Eric handcuffed his hands and feet to the iron bars of the cage with four handcuffs.
Henry’s face was facing inside the birdcage, able to see
everything inside, but he had no idea what Eric was planning by restraining him like this.
Stella tried to move towards the gun on the table, but Eric grabbed
her wrist and threw her into the birdcage.
As he took out the handcuffs, Eric stared into Stella’s eyes and
asked her, “Do you want to stay with me for another month, or
stay here with him? Choose one.”
Stella looked at Eric, his eyes bloodshot, and then at the handcuffs. She shook her head, “Don’t do this. When they find
me, you’ll be sentenced for a long time.”
Eric smirked, “If I cared about how long I would be sentenced, I
wouldn’t have brought you here…”
He used his cold fingers to lift Stella’s chin, “Which one will you
choose?”
Stella couldn’t leave Henry alone in here, so she chose the latter, “Since you’re not planning to let me go, then just tie me up here
No matter which option she chose, Eric would still have control over her. She might as well stay here and accompany Henry.

Upon hearing her choice, Eric’s heart sank. The excruciating pain surged through him.
With his eyes turning red, he stared at Stella and gritted his teeth, “Do you love him that much?”
Did she love him so much that she would give up the chance of survival, willingly be locked in a birdcage, and stay with a half-dead doctor?
But wasn’t she supposed to love him the most? She had loved
him since they were young, even when he rejected her, mocked
her, and bullied her. How did she fall in love with someone else so
quickly?
Stella didn’t answer Eric’s question. She extended her hands
and said coldly, “Just lock me up. Don’t waste your breath. It’s
meaningless.”
No matter how much they talked about love or not, it was all meaningless. It was ironic. When she loved him, he didn’t love her and treated her that way. Now, what’s the point of talking about
love?
Eric’s long eyelashes drooped. Stella looked at his fair hands and
said, “Just say it. Let me give up…”
Hearing that he would give up, Stella didn’t hesitate and blurted
out, “If you really want to hear it, then I’ll tell you. I love him, I love
him very much. If it wasn’t for you, I would have mated him a long time ago…”
Eric suddenly smiled, “Yes, if it wasn’t for me, you would have
mated him, and you two would have adopted a pup and lived happily ever after. But Stella…”
After a pause, he raised his bloodshot eyes and stared directly at
Stella, “You were the first one to say you loved me.”
You said you loved me, and that’s why I loved you without hesitation. Why did you stop loving me just because you said so…
It was the first time Stella saw tears in Eric’s eyes. The glistening teardrops, reflecting dim light in the dim room, carried countless grievances and the pain of unrequited love. All of it was visible in
his eyes.
For some reason, Stella didn’t have the courage to meet his gaze
and awkwardly looked away…
She didn’t say anything, appearing cold and indifferent. It seemed like she didn’t care whether he lived or died. Perhaps this was
exactly what she wanted.
Thinking about the icy heart that lay beneath Stella’s cold exterior,
Eric couldn’t help but chuckle.
