1378 Words
" Lunch is at noon, madam. If that pleases you?" said the elderly butler.
Stella said," Perfect!"
Cash opened the door to her room.
She was naked.
He saw the long scar on her leg.
It was very swollen, red.
" We are going to the hospital. Now." He told her.
Stella shook her head. " It's always like this, it was almost healed up, then my ex- husband's girlfriend attacked me. She made it her mission to maime me.
Drake...
Drake threw a huge party at the summer house. He invited all his friends, girls, guys from work, his brother and David too.
David drove up on his motorcycle.
" Hey, bro! What are we celebrating tonight?" He asked as he removed his helmet and fist bumped Drake.
" No offense to your sister, but my ex. I'm a confirmed bachelor. Stella is off living her life alone!"
He thought about that alone part for a second.
She hated that everyone she loved seemed to push her away.
He shook his head, clearing her from his mind. He drank a beer and ran to the pool. He did a cannonball into the water and splashed everyone.
David walked to her old room.
He sat in the king sized bed.
Something is not right here. Stella should be here.
His phone pinged. There was activity on his bank account.
A deposit was posting.
He thought, I'm not expecting any money to come in.
His jaw dropped when he saw the amount, it was 10 million dollars. He called his bank.
"Mr. Miller, there is no mistake, the money is legitimate." his banker said.
" Where did it come from?" He asked.
" Hhmm..the name is S.Calloway LLC. That's all we know."
"Thanks," he said.
He called his brother's Darrell and Daniel. They had also gotten the same in his account. They were all excited.
David was leary.
TJ came running into the house, he was looking for Drake.
" It's too much money, I can't take it." He said to David.
He shook his head. " 5 million, I can't."
David informed him, he too had recieved a large deposit from S.Calloway LLC.
Drake was eating pizza from a young brunettes lap. He was touching her thighs as he did.
She leaned back and closed her eyes.
David pulled him off of her.
" Sam's on the phone."
" Hey cus, sorry to miss your party. Hey, did you send me some dividends or something from the business?" he asked, puzzled at the 5 mill. in his account.
Drake said,"Not me, but sounds like a nice little boon, enjoy! I gotta go, Rachel is waiting."
He dove into the water and swam up to the blond with her own floatation devices.
He was drunk.
As the party went on, he made his way to the stables, he thought that he saw a sweet young thing wandering down there, he was giving chase.
Marshmellow greeted him with a cry. He gave her a nuzzle.
He saw something in the back of her stall, on the wall.
It was a heart carved into the wood. It said SM loves DP
He smiled. Stella left that for him to find, so sweet. He traced it with his finger.
He lay down in the hay and fell asleep.....
In the morning, he heard his phone ringing, it was his bank.
" Mr.Palmer?"
He groggily replied," That's me, who is calling?"
" Well it's Nancy, there is some suspicious activity on your account, seems as if there was a deposit in the amount of 50 million dollars to your account yesterday. Can you...are you able confirm this?"
He shook his head." Where did it come from?" He wondered.
" Well it is a legitimate account holder by the name of S.Calloway LLC." She said.
" Oh, thanks." he replied as he numbly hung up.
He looked at the picture of the ID he had taken from her purse.
Stella Calloway. Where did she get all this money?
She said her great aunt had left her some money, s**t how much, he wondered.
" I'm going to find you my little ex, you and I are going to get reacquainted." He grinned.
Drake lay back down, his night of debauchery turned into a night alone in the hay.
He smiled as he dreamed of a sexy heiress named Ms. Calloway. I'm rich. He thought.
She couldn't resist me when I was a mean, unfaithful jerk to her, wait till I turn up the charm full force, she won't know what hit her.
Stella...
Stella was wearing a wool skirt and some boots. She had a beautiful sweater on that was red and white.
Cash took her to the functional medical clinic, Evian health centre.
Stella met doctor Fallow. She took one look at Stella's mangled leg and admitted her.
They gave her a cocktail of herbal medicines and compresses.
" If this doesn't take down the swelling, then my dear, we are going to have to do a round of western medicine, antibiotics to be precise."
Stella asked what happened if that didn't work.
The doctor was very blunt.
" Amputation my love. This leg will kill you if it doesn't improve in the next few weeks."
Stella did everything that they asked of her. She ate the diet, she drank all of the herbal cocktails, she did all of the therapy.
Today, she was placed in the hyperbaric chamber.
Her phone buzzed. She couldn't get it.
Cash picked it up.
" Hello, miss Calloway's phone. how may I direct your call?" He said very professionally.
" Talk to me, why won't you take my calls. Please Cash."
He hung up.
Stella said," Wrong number?"
He nodded, "very wrong."
The phone rang again.
" Don't hang up! I miss you Cash." Kira spoke quietly.
" Kira, you are embarrassed by me." He reminded her.
" I...it's hard to be a bank executives daughter, so much is expected of me my love."
He nodded." Listen, if you want me back, you will change your ways. I won't be in the shadows. My terms." He said quietly.
She smiled,"Done! Don't fall ..don't fall in love with the heiress...promise me Cash. Come home to only me."
He said," Kira, you need to come to me. You know where I am..apparently you set this all up for Stella. I will see you by the end of the week, or I'm moving on." He said flatly.
He hung up.
Stella sat up. " Cash, my chair, can you push it over here please?"
He stood up. " Sorry, that call, it was...unexpected. Kira, she wants me back." He grinned.
He lifted her up and put her into the chair.
She rubbed his arm. "Then no more fooling around, I don't get to sample your exquisite body?"
He kissed her lips. "I'm still single. Want to go play?"
She nodded. "Will Kira get jealous?"
He shook his head. " I doubt that, she is all talk, no walk."
Stella felt so tired, she fell asleep on the drive home. Cash held her in the car.
" Miss. Calloway, we are home." He told her when the arrived.
She yawned.
Her phone rang. " Hello, how is the fishing trip pops?"
Teddy told her about his day, he was enjoying the fishing.
" I just wanted to say, I love you my girl, thank you for this." He was so happy.
Stella wiped her tears. " I'm glad, see you in a few days."
Stella had a new phone number. Only a small handful of people had her number. Drake was not one of them.
Drake was looking everywhere for her. He was kicking himself that he didn't listen to her when she had tried to invite him to come with her.
He was too selfish. She knew that about him. He remembered her telling him,"Last chance."
He walked into the bank with his checking account statement.
He asked to speak to someone about a deposit. He made such a fuss that the bank teller called Kira down to talk to him.
A beautiful brunette came walking stiffly towards him.
Her shoes clicked on the marble floor as her hips swayed.
