NovelEnglishStella had just settled into her room for the night when the commotion outside began.
First, it was Bonnie's voice, loud and clear, followed by Morgan's deep tones. Stella simply rolled over, choosing to ignore the disturbance. It seemed Bonnie wanted to be heard, her voice deliberately raised.
After their raucous activity, Bonnie tried to enter Stella's room, only to find it locked from the inside. Frustrated and fuming, she started kicking the door.

But Stella, accustomed to falling asleep amidst chaos, merely closed her eyes tighter. The month she'd spent with the Sanders family had been the most peaceful of her life. Here, she didn't have to worry about a neighbor breaking into her place in the middle of the night, hiding in a cramped bathroom to call the cops, muffling her sobs, or hearing whispers that she must have done something to provoke such behavior.
In this house, at least, she could sleep without those fears.
Bonnie continued to bang and kick, but the door remained closed. She turned to Morgan, buttoning up her shirt in frustration. "This little witch is getting bold, ignoring us now?" she spat.
In the past, a command from Bonnie would have Stella mimicking a dog without hesitation. But now, separated by a mere door, Stella dared to disregard her.
Morgan, wrapping his arms around Bonnie, yawned.
"Bonnie, it's late. Let's just go to sleep," he suggested.
Bonnie's expression was venomous. "Fine, we'll sleep. But tomorrow morning, she's mine."

Brow furrowed, he opened his living room door and found Stella seated on the marble steps.

Stella rose, dusting off her jeans.
"Just cfor breakfast, Beck. Your place serves the best breakfast," she said with a grin. Chapter 2060 1 Five in the morning? What was she doing here so early, or was she avoiding someone? Chapter 2060 2 The chef was already preparing breakfast, and Beck, intending to cover Stella with a blanket, bent towards her. She woke up instantly, creating distance between them.
Beck frowned, tossing the blanket at her. "Cover yourself or don't." Realizing her mistake, Stella quickly smiled. "Sorry, Beck. Thought you were someone else." Chapter 2060 3 As a servant brought him black coffee, Stella, mistaking it for hers, took a sip and immediately regretted it, grimacing at the bitterness.
"What's this? It's awful!" Beck chuckled, "Country bumpkin, ever had coffee before?" Stella grabbed a piece of fruit, trying to get rid of the bitter taste. "Nope, never understood why people enjoy torturing themselves with bitterness."
