Chapter 29

Soon, the car came to a stop outside Edward's place. Charles didn't even bother turning off the engine. He slammed the car door open and stormed straight toward the house. Stopping in front of the door, he gave it a hard push. A loud bang echoed as it was flung open. Inside, Stella was sitting calmly on the sofa, flipping through a stack of sheet music. She looked up at the noise, meeting his eyes without a hint of surprise—like she'd known he'd show up all along. Charles glared at her, jaw clenched. "Stella, you've really outdone yourself." Unfazed, Stella put down the sheets and stood up, her voice cool. "Something you need?" She'd already heard about the drama at Hart Group. So she figured this outburst was coming—honestly, she was kind of waiting for it. But before she could say another word, Charles grabbed her wrist and yanked her toward the door. His expression was hard, his voice low and sharp. "Come with me. You're still my wife, and I won't have you hanging around other men."
