Dear Ex-wife Marry Me

Beck's brow furrowed deeply, a clear sign of his mounting frustration.

"Stella's not with me. I planned to have someone escort her away, but she left on her own midway," he muttered, feeling an inexplicable irritation whenever Stella's name came up.

Truth be told, Beck didn't want anything to do with Stella. In his eyes, she was nothing more than a petty con artist.

Jason, across from him, was so agitated he coughed violently, spitting out blood. "Find Stella," he ordered his men with a voice like gravel, "Even if you have to dig up every inch of this town, find her!"

Beck took one last glance at the chaotic scene before him, then turned on his heel and left.

Back at his apartment, his phone buzzed with a call from Dylan. "I've found out who she is," Dylan's voice crackled through the line.

Beck's grip tightened on the phone, a knot forming in his stomach. "Who?"

"Walter Moore's cousin. She had a thing for you ages ago, but you never gave her the time of day. Seems like she's desperate now and got hold of some kind of drug."

Beck felt a surge of anger. He remembered the woman-she'd been persistent, but she wasn't his type. She was pretty, sure, but far too clingy.

"Where is she now?" Beck asked, his voice flat.

"She went straight to Dad. He thinks you should marry her."

Beck's eyes widened in disbelief. Marry that woman? But before he could voice his outrage, Dylan's tone turned serious.

"Beck, do you even have someone you care about? If not, marrying her wouldn't be much different from anyone else."

In truth, Beck didn't need a marriage to gain any advantage. But if he wasn't in love, marrying Walter's cousin could be a logical step. The Moores were a respected family in North America, and it would be a beneficial match.

Beck felt his thoughts swirl chaotically as he rubbed his temples. "Big brother, let me think about it."

Marriage had never been on his agenda, and the current situation was too messy. A woman had drugged him, slept with him, and then had the audacity to approach the Sanders family about it.

Feeling utterly exasperated, Beck downed several gulps of cold water, trying to calm his racing mind.

Meanwhile, Bess was anxiously awaiting news from the Sanders family. She was all in now.

The morning after the incident, she'd spotted a blurry silhouette leaving a room at the far end of the hallway. Initially, she assumed it was someone sneaking around during the party, and curiosity got the better of her. She ended up opening the door to find Beck asleep inside.

Bess had harbored feelings for Beck for a long time. Seeing him there, her jealousy flared, and she wanted nothing more than to drag out the woman responsible.

But she quickly regained her composure. Beck didn't like her; getting involved would only make him dislike her more.

She returned home, but soon after, her cousin told her the Sanders family was searching for someone who'd allegedly drugged Beck and slept with him during the party.

Bess felt a surge of excitement. This was her chance. If she claimed this identity, her family's ties with the Sanders could solidify this marriage.

Without hesitation, she went to Augus Sanders, tearfully confessing her long- standing affection for Beck.noveldrama

Augus, who disliked Beck's carefree lifestyle, promised to consider the union seriously.

Now Bess sat at home, waiting for word from the Sanders family. An hour passed before she got the news-Beck was open to considering it.

She was in disbelief, her plan had actually worked. Beck must truly have no idea who was with him that night.

Thrilled, Bess immediately discussed with her parents the need to win over the Sanders family, hoping to secure a wedding date soon.

Unbeknownst to her, Stella was completely unaware that someone had stolen her story. After leaving the party, she took a car Dave prepared and headed to the North American border.

She had even started taking supplements to aid pregnancy, determined to secretly have Beck's child. It was a reckless decision driven by her own emotions.

When she told Dave about her plan, he looked at her as if she were insane. "Stella, do you even realize how little time you have left? You're just creating trouble for Beck. You might be romanticizing this, using your remaining time to bear his child, but for Beck, it's not a dream come true. Let it go. Jason and Bonnie will face justice soon enough; you've already had your revenge."
