When Love Comes Late by PASSION

Stellas words struck a nerve, and Lindsay was momentarily stunned, her heart racing uncontrollably.

Reacting without thought, she shoved Stella aside, her gaze darting away as she muttered, I have no idea what youre talking about.

A brief flash of fear crossed Lindsays face, but she quickly masked it with defiance, her voice rising.

Ive done nothing wrong! Youre the one who destroyed everything.

Matthew and I were perfectly fine until you interfered.

Youre the intruder who shattered our Lives! Stella chuckled coolly and retorted, When I married Matthew, there was no mention of an ex.

Tell me, how does that make me the interloper? And lets not forget-before his memory loss, Matthew was indifferent to you.

You know it too well.

If he recalls everything and discovers what youve been doing, what do you think will happen? Lindsays hands trembled before clenching tightly, her knuckles whitening as her nails dug into her palms.

Through gritted teeth, she declared, Even if Matthew regains his memory, he wont turn his back on me.

I sacrificed my ability to walk for him-hell never abandon me.

Stella regarded her with a faint, knowing smirk and said casually, Thats your story.

Lets see if it holds. Lindsays breathing grew uneven, and she suddenly gripped her chest, her complexion paling rapidly.

Stella blinked, startled by Lindsays visible distress.
