"Looks like, I really do have a bad timing."

Ethan looked down at the couple who are enjoying strangling their way out of each other with an amused smirk on his face.

He watched Albert trying to grasp the fists of the lady on the top of him and rolled them over making him take the position on the top and the lady beneath.

"Wow! Wow! Wow! The scene is really getting heated. Shall I bring my video camera out?" Ethan voiced out his thoughts loudly making Albert look at him with annoyance and stood up abruptly without helping Stella to stand.

The moment Albert got aside from the person he was shadowing behind him, Ethan was privileged with the honour of witnessing the most beautiful woman he has ever laid his eyes on.

"God...she is...."

"My wife!" Albert glanced at Stella and huffed out an angry breath and took a seat on the dining table. Stella on the other hand dusted her clothes and just sat there, scowling all the way at the stupid man, sitting on the dining table.

This sudden news somewhat made Ethan sad for no particular reason.

Yes, he was aware that his friend got married secretly, but he didn't had a single clue that the girl he was marrying will be so breathtaking.

Shaking all these irrelevant thoughts out of his mind, he neared his distance towards Stella and helped her stand up, giving a kind helping hand which Stella gladly took.

"Now I realized...why Albert was in a hurry to marry and that too secretly."

"I won't blame him. If I were in his place, may be I would have done the same." Ethan smiled brightly at the beautiful lady in front of him and bent his head down to kiss the back of her hands gently.

Stella tried to smile back but instead blushed profusely. It was not everyday, getting complimented by others. Back at home, it was only her grandfather who praised her features, saying that they resembled her mother.

"Ethan! Will you please leave my wife's hand and grace me with your presence here?"

"And for godsake stop flirting with her." If Albert was annoyed before then he was feeling much more annoyed looking at Ethan flirting with Stella.

Ethan raised his hands up in surrender and winked at Stella telling her that his stupid husband is just getting jealous.

"Amm...I'll bring something for you to drink. Will you prefer coffee?" The sweet melodious voice of Stella was like a piece of personal Nirvana for Ethan. He had never in his whole life ever heard such a polite voice, which sends shiver of pleasures throughout your body.

"Ya..ya that will do." He kept on looking at her retreating figure until she got vanished behind the doors of the kitchen.

"If you don't want to get punched badly....stop gawking at her Ethan. You are getting on my nerves."

"Oh! Man....she is soo bloody.....I mean wow, you got yourself such a beautiful wife. Maybe that's why you haven't invited anyone on your marriage. Very nice there buddy."

Albert simply rolled his eyes and took the newspaper from the table, when suddenly his phone started ringing.

The vibration in his pant pocket made him take out his mobile phone and groaned with irritation when he saw the name of the caller. "Yes, Selena?"

"Baby...I am missing you so badly. It has been a whole long week without seeing you. Is Mr.Thomas still in the villa?"

"Yes..he is." Albert lied to her because he didn't want to visit her at a time when he was in the midst of conflicts with Stella. Although his father was still at Mr. Dowden's house to look after his health, but he wanted to keep this part hidden from her.

"Oh! That's so bad. I really want to meet you baby.....can you not come here to meet me? Just for an hour? I miss our nights together....."

Albert instantly stopped her sentence and looked around as if to check whether someone was listening their talk or not, someone specifically Stella.

He didn't know why, but he wanted to keep Stella far away from the reach of Selena.

"I'll make a visit to your place in an hour. I promise." He went around the hall making his way towards the exit, holding his briefcase in hand.

"That will be lovely! You are so sweet baby.....I love you so much."

She filled the line on the other hand with series of kisses which made Albert take his phone far away from his ear. He looked at Ethan who was following him around and didn't miss the disapproval look he passed him.

"Earth to you Albert....where have you lost?"

"Yup..I am here." He signaled Ethan not to utter a word and stepped out on the foyer.

"Albert?"

"Hmm." He replied not fully focused while taking out the car keys from his pocket.

"You still love me, right?"

Albert suddenly stopped in his track and looked weirdly at his phone. What made her ask this was clear to him, as he is a married man now.
But she is very well aware of his circumstances which led him to marry Stella.

"Yes Selena.....I do love you." He ended the call feeling much worse than before. What am I doing with my life?

"No freaking way! You are still in the contact of that bitch? I thought...you will move on after getting married."
Selena called him and it was enough to add on his already annoyed situation. This day just can't stop getting better.

"That's none of your business, Ethan."
I need to go." Albert knew leaving Ethan behind alone with Stella was not a good idea. But he has to make a visit over Selena's house before she visits him here..

God only knows what not she is capable to do if he doesn't visit her on time.

And above of all this crap, he trusted Stella. She will never get influenced by Ethan's naive advances and no one ever gets. With what he has witnessed in his past. With this last thought on his mind he drives off, making his way towards Selena's grand mansion.

"Your coffee is here." Stella looked around the room searching for her so called husband, noticing his mobile phone and office bag already missing.

"Where is Albert?" At least he could have the descence to inform her before leaving. Just a while ago he was bragging saying my wife and all, which in some ways made her stupid heart flutter with some hope.

But now, everything has went back to the same place where they have started.

"He...oh he had some business to attend."

"Businessman, busy people, lots of work, assignments, meetings...." Ethan kept on rambling on. This situation, seeing Albert planning to meet Selena again, was very disturbing for him.

He knows Selena, God who doesn't.
She is the one and only heir to multimillionaire Edward Stevenson. That woman is simply a crazy chick.

"Amm...I get it Ethan...you don't need to defend him." She encouraged him with a small smile and served him with a cup of coffee she had prepared for him.

When she spoke his name, it was like a lullaby to his ears. God..he wants to hear it again.

"It..tastes good." He too smiled back and watched her arranging the contents on the table and moving around the room doing dusting.

He was lost in his thoughts.

Does Stella know about Albert's affair with Selena ? Should I beware her ?
That will only make my way too easy....
