Chapter 0328

I hadnt been with anyone else in almost a year , she told him .

It was only one other guy before that … She sniffled and wiped her eyes .

Y… Youre the only one … she stammered as a sob escaped her lips .

She was too hysterical for Ethans liking , and he stared at her with disgust .

He pulled out his wallet and grabbed a few hundred dollars .

He threw it at her face , making her flinch as she watched the bills fall lazily to the ground around her .

His cold words left her speechless .

Get rid of it .

He drove off , leaving Stella speechless and brokenhearted .

Ethan drove to the Landry residence , his mind clouded as he thought about what Stella had said .

Was she really pregnant with his baby ? Well , she wouldnt be for long .

Having a baby with a stripper would ruin his plans .

He had to make sure she got rid of that baby before it jeopardized everything , he worked so hard for .

Mr.

Cash , Adam the butler , greeted as Ethan walked through the front doors of the villa .

Adam , Ethan greeted , taking off his coat and handing it to the butler .

Ethan swore Adam deepened his frown , but he recovered it quickly enough that Ethan thought maybe it was his imagination .

Miss Irene isnt here right now .

But shell be home shortly , Adam said .

Ethan nodded ; he didnt care if Irene was there or not .

In fact , it was better that she wasnt .

He was there for one reason and one reason only .

Ill just wait in her room , Ethan said , excusing himself .

Instead of going to Irenes room , Ethan went straight to Gavin Landrys office door .noveldrama

He had been here the day before and he spent time picking the lock to the office .

And then he got the computer information his inside man needed to hack Gavins computer and unlock it for Ethan .

He went through it a little bit , and when he heard Irene nearing , he had to get out of there fast .

But not before he wrote down the password to get back into Gavins computer for next time .

He was pleased to see that the office door was still unlocked from his last visit .

That means nobody found out he broke in .

Not having to pick the lock again saves him time .

Ethan logged into the computer and smiled as the screen lit to life .

Lets see what inside information you have on this computer Alpha Landry .

Meanwhile , Irene had driven to Ethans house and was staring at the woman seated on the front porch .

Her face was buried in her hands as she sobbed .

Irene got out of the car and went to her .

The girl quickly stood to her feet and looked like a deer caught in the headlights .

Please , dont go ….

Irene pleaded , reaching her hand out .

I need to speak with you .

The woman , now Irene recognized as Stella Airborne , nibbled on her lower lip , her eyes looking anywhere but Irenes face .

I … I shouldnt be here … Stella whispered hoarsely .

This isnt the first time youve been here , Irene said softly .

It wasnt a question .

Are you saying youve come here twice by mistake ? Stellas face reddened .

I … Stellas voice trailed off .

After a long pause , Irene sighed .

Would you like to get some coffee or something ? Irene asked .

Theres a coffee place nearby , and I think we should talk .

Stella was about to decline , but something about Irenes face and the look in her eyes made her submit right away , so after a long pause , she finally conceded and nodded .

She stood and went with Irene to her car , leaving her own car behind .

The drive to the local coffee shop was quiet .

It took about 10 awkward minutes .

Both Irene and Stella wanted it to be over quickly , and they counted down each minute as the drive continued .

At the coffee shop , they ordered their drinks , and Irene was adamant about paying .

Stella only got water though because she didnt think caffeine would be good for her unborn baby , though she kept her reasonings behind the water a secret .
