‘It’s only been a few days, but why do Ella and Lorenzo seem to be acting so strangely around each other? Stephanie wondered.

Ella said, “He said I’m just a magnet for trouble and a danger to myself.”

“He actually said that to you?” Stephanie pressed her lips down.

‘How could he say that to a girl? And Ella isn’t the type to just let things slide. Wasn’t she angry about it? Wait, maybe she’s too scared to react. After all, she seems a little intimidated by Lorenzo now, she thought.

“He’s not entirely wrong,” Ella replied. It felt like she had suddenly become an easy target, with nowhere that she truly fit in.

Hearing the sudden sadness in Ella’s voice, Stephanie wanted to offer some comfort.

But before she could speak, Ella quickly said, “Stefi, I can’t reach my mom right now, and Emily is missing too. I have no clue what’s going on, but a lot of people are after me now.”

Stephanie was taken aback into silence–Ella’s once–peaceful life as a little princess had just fallen apart.

Ella sighed, “Lorenzo’s right. I’m just a troublemaker now, aren’t I?”

Stephanie disagreed. “Don’t talk about yourself like that. What happened with your mom? I’ll get Sebastian to check it out. If you don’t want to stay with Lorenzo, I can have Sebastian send someone to pick you up.”

“Stefi.” Ella hesitated.

Stephanie just asked, “Do you want it or not?”

“Yes,” Ella quickly replied. Even though she knew she was causing problems, her heart couldn’t handle being around

Lorenzo.

Stephanie chuckled softly. “That’s the spirit.”

“Am I bothering you too much?” Ella asked. After all, Stephanie was just Lottie’s adopted daughter. Ella was genuinely worried about causing her trouble and upsetting the Giovanni family.

Understanding Ella’s concerns, Stephanie immediately reassured, “Don’t worry, you won’t.”

Stephanie decided she would tell Sebastian when he got back and ask him to send someone to pick up Ella and help her settle
