Chapter 2 Marry Me
988 Words
The next morning, when Stella woke up, she felt particularly sore in her waist and back, and even her head hurt.
At that moment, Stella found herself looking at a man’s well-defined muscles. She couldn't help but touch them a few times. His physique was definitely better than Adrian's, and he was strikingly handsome, with features more defined than those of movie stars.
The next second, Stella's wrist was grabbed. "Have you touched enough?"
"Sorry, but who can blame me? Your body is just too good to resist."
Little did she know, the man rolled over and pinned Stella beneath him. "Couldn't help yourself? How about we do it again?"
The desire burning in the man's deep-set eyes suggested that the wildness of last night still lingered. For someone trying this for the first time, it was indeed easy to become addicted.
"No, let go, I need to get up." Saying this, Stella pushed the man away.
She picked up her clothes from the floor; last night had been too wild, and her clothes had been ripped by him, so Stella could only make do with what was left to wear.
After putting on her high heels and preparing to leave, the man's voice rang out again. "You want to leave just like that?"
Stella felt a bit confused; didn't we agree yesterday that it was just a one-night stand?
No, she almost forgot, he was the male escort from the bar.
Stella took her bag and generously pulled out a stack of money, placing it beside her. "Is this enough?"
Lucas's eyes darkened at Stella's action.
Lucas looked at Stella. "You think this little one will send me away?"
"I only brought this much. You're good-looking, so you must charge more than others. How much do you want? I can transfer it to you next time."
Although it was a ridiculous night, Stella had no regrets because Adrian and Anna had no idea how many times they had done such things behind her back.
"I don't lack money, but after sleeping with me, you have to be responsible for me."
"What do you mean?" Stella was puzzled; what did being responsible entail?
Lucas's thin lips parted slightly, saying just a few words: "Marry me."
Stella was doubtful.
"My grandmother is not well; she wants to see me marry a wife. The doctor advised me to try to fulfill my grandmother's wishes. You slept with me last night, so marrying me is quite reasonable."
"Marry... but I..."
Stella had almost gotten engaged to Adrian yesterday.
But Adrian didn't want Stella and abandoned her.
Even if she liked Adrian, Stella was done with this scumbag; she had finally woken up.
Seven years, Stella had wasted seven years of her life, revolving around Adrian. It was time to move on.
Everyone thought Stella would always cling to Adrian.
Adrian hated Stella and had broken up with her countless times, but every time, within two or three days, Stella would come begging for reconciliation.
Adrian's friends, as well as people from the Watson and Green families, looked down on Stella.
Stella felt pretty terrible about herself.
Suddenly, Stella curled her lips into a sweet smile after realizing. "Alright, let's get married!"
Lucas's gaze fell on Stella; this was the second day since his return to the country. He had originally come to disrupt his brother's engagement banquet, but unexpectedly, before he could make a move, the bride had come knocking on his door.
Lucas was eager to see Adrian's reaction when he found out his fiancée had become his sister-in-law.
After leaving the hotel, the two went straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
In under half an hour, Stella was holding two marriage certificates. She opened them and finally learned the man's name.
"Lucas?"
It sounded familiar, like she'd heard it before.
"Mm."
"Not bad looking. Do you usually have a lot of people asking for you? But your skills seem a bit off; has anyone ever complained?"
Lucas's face darkened without any reply.
His skills weren't that great?
Did she really take him for a gigolo?
Seeing the man with a dark expression, Stella thought she had accidentally hit a sore spot, so she quickly said, “My name is Stella. From today on, we are husband and wife. You can consider your grandmother's wishes taken care of. Let's swap numbers so we can keep in touch.”
Stella took out her phone and saw that her family had sent her many messages.
Stella said, “I might need your help with some things later. You should be able to show up anytime, right?”
Meeting Lucas's gaze, Stella said, “Don't worry, I won't make you work for free; I'll pay you.”
Lucas remained silent.
“If there's nothing else, I need to go home now.”
“I'll take you back,” Lucas said.
“No need.”
After they exchanged numbers, Stella grabbed a taxi home.
*****
At this time, Adrian was still asleep, having spent a passionate night with Anna.
Adrian was jolted awake by his mom's call. “Adrian, where are you? Get back here and apologize to Stella.”
“Mom, I don't have time, and what do I have to apologize for? Don't worry, within three days, Stella will come back to beg me to get back together; that's just the kind of person she is.”
To Adrian, Stella was always obedient; she came when called and left when told.
“Don't be confused. You need the support of the Green family right now. Although Stella, the real daughter they found, is not favored, everything in the Green family will be inherited by her in the future. I heard that Lucas is coming back; without the support of the Green family, how can you compete with Lucas?”
“What? Lucas is coming back?” Only then did Adrian wake up.
