Chapter 294: The Demise

The next morning,

Stella fluttered her eyes open as the pale golden rays of Sun hit her face, only to find the space next to her empty. But her tense self relaxed a bit when he saw the note which was resting on the bedside table for her.

'I am just downstairs. Take your time, and no need to rush.

Love,

Your A.

XOXO'

A smiled on her face as her mind eased a little. She just wanted to have him within her line of sight after last night's incident, but being informed about his whereabouts would do the job as long as they were within the same building. Without bothering to look at the time, she got out of the covers and headed towards the bathroom after placing the note in the top drawer of the bedside table.

She changed into a fresh pair of clothes after having a warm shower and decided to go through the business section of news first before heading down to have her breakfast with her better half.

She opened Adam's spare laptop and began to look through the news section about the business world of Germany, but she could barely focus on anything as soon as her eyes landed on the most trending news. Leaving the laptop on the bed, she headed downstairs with a hastened pace.

"Adam!" Stella's voice resonated through the quiet dining hall as her figure could be seen rushing down the stairs which led directly to the hall.

The sight of her almost three months pregnant wife running down the stairs was more than enough to give the man a heart attack as he dropped the newspaper in his hands and made his way to her.

He met her midway on the staircase and scolded her like a child who was being too mischievous before the newly arrived guests.

"Have you lost your mind? How many times do I have to tell you to be careful?" He reprimanded her. Though his voice was firm, it was still laced with tenderness.

"T-taylor." She let a stuttered reply as she pointed her trembling fingers towards the black screen of the LED which was fixed into the wall right beside the wide and long wooden dining table.

"What about him?" Adam moved his gaze to the direction she was pointing in before shifting it back to her face. Looking at her troubled expressions, he repeated his question again. "What about Taylor, Stella?" He was worried that she might have had a nightmare, but looking at the slightly damp tips of her hair, he dumped the idea.

"Turn on the TV and select some news channel." She answered him as she gazed back into his gray orbs.

Seeing how bothered she looked, he nodded and guided her down the stairs. After making sure that she was securely sitting in the head chair of the table, he walked a little close to the big screen and spoke up in a firm tone.

"Turn on."

As if recognizing his voice, the black screen became lit and the sound of two people talking filled the room. Luckily for him, it was a news channel which was selected.

After reading the news ticker and hearing the discussion of the two anchor persons, he drew his brows close and shifted his gaze back to his woman who was sitting like a statue in the same place he had made her sit.

He shifted his attention back to the TV and began to head them with more attention.

"What are your thoughts on this, Mr. Edward?" The female anchor spoke up as the camera focused on the guest analyst.

After clearing his throat, he spoke up while looking into the camera. "First of all, I offer my condolences to his family, especially to Mr. Carston. Secondly, I was just as shocked as you are when I received the news about Mr. Taylor's demise. What shocked me more was the fact that he killed himself. I wonder what could have forced the man to take such a step."

The female journalist continued to nod her head at his every word as she waited for him to finish.

"I agree with you, but can you put some light on how it will affect the company and the stocks?" She spoke up as she brought the light back to Williamson's Tech. She was clearly much concerned about the company's market value than the man in question who had killed himself.

"Well, for one, this is clearly going to affect the company as we can clearly see that the stocks of Williamson's Tech. has taken a deep dive within the span of just an hour after the news about his suicide was put out by the concerned authorities." He answered the woman.

"Turn off."

Adam spoke up and the screen went back once again while he walked back to his woman who was still in the same posture. He came to a stop before her and picked her up before walking towards the staircase which was heading to the upper floor.

"We will have our breakfast in the room." He spoke in a loud and crisp voice to the maid who had just walked inside.

As the maid bowed her head low, he continued to carry Stella up the stairs without looking back at the maid. He needed to make sure that she wasn't affected too much by this. The stress wasn't good for the babies and her own health. He wondered how she was able to find the news just after getting up.

He knew she wasn't affected by the news that he was dead, but rather the way he died. And somewhere deep inside her heart, she was blaming herself for his death.

He wanted to kill the man once again for putting his wife in such a condition. But too bad that he wouldn't be able to do it. He shifted his eyes from the hallway ahead to the woman in his arms who was too quiet for her own good.

He heaved out a long sigh as he continued to walk towards their room. He made a mental note to give Carston a call after making sure that his wife had eaten her breakfast.
