Chapter 285: Tainted With Blood

Without paying any heed to his words, she repeated her question. "Why are you doing this?"

"Haven't I already answered that question of yours?" He let out a low chuckle as he settled himself on the king sized, four poster bed. "I just want you to be with me, and I am willing to do whatever it takes to make it come true." He passed her a faint smile as he gazed into her hazel orbs.

"Even if that involves kidnapping me, right?" Stella scoffed at his words. Her mind could never accept it, no matter how many times she heard him saying those words. 'What kind of sick person goes to the length of kidnapping the woman he claims to love?' She thought to herself as she shook it sideways.

"I have already apologized to you for this, but I will say it again. I am sorry. Kidnapping you was the last thing I wanted to have you. Honestly, it wasn't even on the list." He gave Stella an apologetic look.

"I was already on my way back to here when I got a call. It was one the men I have assigned to look after you. He told me how you were on your own, without that pestering assistant of yours. I thought what better time to make you mine." The corners of his lips turned up in a bright smile as he gazed into her eyes intently.

If it was some other woman, she might have bought his words. But Stella wouldn't. She was more than aware of his true nature, and in no way, would let him have things his way.

"This is what you do to the woman you claim to love?" She gave him a skeptical look. After seeing that the person behind her kidnapping was Taylor, her jittery nerves were a bit calm now and she was feeling much more at ease. If she was to buy his words, then he wouldn't hurt her no matter what. All she needed to do was buy Adam some more time, so that he could get to her.

Getting up from the bed, he went to stand before her. "I swear, I didn't mean to do this to you. I just wanted you to be with me." He took a brief pause and went down on one knee before her. "The moment I first laid my eyes on you, it was the day I decided to make you mine." He continued as he looked up at her with hopeful eyes.

"I am sorry, but I already have someone in my heart. And that someone is my husband, Adam Levinson. In no way, I will give you that place willingly." Stella glared down at the man and saw the black orbs losing the light in them her words shattered his hope.

But the man refused to give up this easily and grabbed her hands in between his palms. He looked up at her as if she was the last ray of hope he had left. "I promise, my love, you will be much happier with me than you ever were with him. And why are you still thinking about that man, he is no longer with you. I sent him to a place from where he could never return." In his emotional state, he didn't realize the words which were flowing out of his mouth, and when he did, it was already too late to take them back.

Stella looked at him with her eyes popping out of their sockets as his words kept repeating themselves in her mind. She opened and closed her mouth a couple of times like a gaping fish, but no words came out of it. She looked at the man who was kneeling before her, giving her a pleading look with a baffled expression. She couldn't help but feel pure disgust creeping down her spine from the mere sight of the man.

With a forceful tug, she took her hands back from his grip and looked at him scornfully. "What did you just say?" She asked him to repeat his words from earlier. No matter how much she tried, her mind refused to believe his words. How could someone be so inhumane that he was completely fine with going to such an extent.

'Did he destroy an entire site just to get rid of a single person? How could he be okay when his hands are tainted with the blood of so many innocent lives?' The more she thought about it, the harder it was becoming for her mind to get settled.

"I did it for you. How could I let another man claim you as his? I had to remove him from our lives, Stella. He didn't love you like I do. He could have never loved you like I do. I waited for so long, thinking that he might become fed up with you. But the man refused to even let you out of his sight. I wasn't left with any choice, but to remove him from your life." He shook his head sideways and explained to her.

"You are sick up there." She spoke up and furrowed her brows. "You need to get yourself treated. He loved me when I had nothing to give him. He gave me all the time I needed to develop feelings for him, but never for even once did he force himself on me. And here you are, comparing yourself to him?" She scoffed.

"I can be that guy if you want me to. I was already thinking of proposing to you earlier at the banquet, actually after it ended. But I changed my mind when I saw you acting so close to your personal assistant. I thought I might have to take it out of my path as well, but he did me a favor by leaving early. Do remind me to send him a gift later on to show my gratitude." He gave her a bright smile and continued to justify his actions.
