Billionaire's Pleasure-Chapter 63: Calling Elaine

Stella’s POV

After David and I talked at the restaurant he drove me to Sam’s condo.

"I hope you’re okay, Stella," David said out of his car.

"I am okay, don’t worry," I replied.

"Okay, then, I’ll catch you up soon," David said.

"Um, David, wait."

"What’s wrong? Will you tell me anything else? "

"Um... I want to see your sister..."

"You want to see, Elaine?"

"Yes, I would like to talk to her in person."

"Um, well. She’s not here. She’s in Italy right now; after she and Sebastian separated she immediately went to Italy. I also didn’t know that was her plan. But if you want to talk to her, you can talk to her on the phone. Do you want me to just give you her number?"

"Um... sure... thank you," I replied.

"Look, Stella. I know it’s not easy to accept what you’ve found out about Sebastian and I also don’t know why he kept it from you, he may have a deep reason why he keep it to you. Don’t think too much about it. You can talk to Sebastian if you want to."

"You think the reason why Sebastian doesn’t want to tell me about it, is because he still loves Elaine and he still can’t forget her."

"Actually, I don’t know, I also don’t know what Sebastian’s thinking. But honestly, Elaine has been a big part of Sebastian’s life. They were married for three years and they also had a child but unfortunately, she died. And they have only been separated for almost two years; I can say that these memories are still fresh in Sebastian’s mind. "

"I understand. So, do you think I’m selfish because I forced Sebastian to open up to me about his past? "

"No, you’re not selfish, Stella. You deserve to know about Elaine. Don’t be hard on yourself, okay? " David said.

"Okay, thank you, David."

"Well, you should go inside the condo and maybe Sam is looking for you already, it’s already late."

"Aren’t you going inside?" I ask.

"No, I’m good. I’ll just visit next time. All right, I have to go now, goodnight, Stella. "

"Goodnight, David."

When David left, I entered Sam’s condo.

"Oh, Stella, you’re here. How are you and David? " Sam asked while looking at his laptop.

"How did you know that I was with David?"

"David told me you two were together."

"Oh, he didn’t tell me about that."

"Well, I see, you should rest and it’s already late."

"Okay, it looks like you’re busy there on your laptop."

"Oh, yea, a lot of work to take care of. Well, that’s life. "

"Yea, I see that. Okay, I’m going to rest now. "

"Okay, good night, Stella."

I turned around and went to the bedroom. When I entered the room I immediately went to bed, now I feel the tiredness. I took my phone out of my pocket and looked at the number that David had given me earlier. I don’t know if I will press the call button or not. I decided to take a deep breath then I call her number. I bit my lip as I heard the other line ringing. Moments later, I heard a woman’s voice answer.

"Hello? Who is this? " she asked.

"Is this Elaine?" I ask.

"Yes, this is Elaine. May I know you?"

I don’t know but I suddenly covered my mouth and couldn’t answer her question to me.

"Hello? Hello? Who is this? If you don’t introduce yourself to me, I will end this call right now. "

"Wait ... I’m Stella."

"Stella? I don’t remember anyone named Stella. "

"I’m Sebastian’s girlfriend."

Suddenly the other line fell silent. While I waited for her to say something.

"How did you find out my number?"

"David gave it to me, your brother."

"What? How did you meet my brother? "

"He was a friend of my cousin and my cousin introduced me to him."

"Fuck! What a small world. "

"Yea, small world, I guess."

"So, why did you call me?"

"I want to talk to you about your relationship with Sebastian before."

"Why do you even need to know? We haven’t had communication with each other for a long time and I’m already in Italy. "

"Because I think... he still can’t forget you..."

"What? That’s impossible. We both agreed to the divorce and he’s also happy with his life right now and with his business. I don’t know why you say that. "

"Because every time I ask him about his past he doesn’t want to talk about it. It’s as if he doesn’t want to talk about you. "

"But it doesn’t mean that he still hasn’t forgotten me, maybe he has another reason."

"I didn’t know he was married and you had a child."

"Um... yes, we’ve been married and we’ve been married for three years, we also had a child but she died after I gave birth to her, she was a premature baby. Honestly, our marriage has not been easy since our daughter died. We used to quarrel and argue a lot so I decided to file for divorce. I ask him if he will sign the divorce paper. He thought about it for a few months until he finally agreed to sign it, and after our divorce, I left and went to Italy and we never met again and talked to each other. That’s just what happened. "

"So, you didn’t say goodbye to him when you went to Italy?"

"No, for what? We were no longer married. "

"How well do you know Sebastian?"

"I don’t know what your questions are for? If you want to know something, you can talk to your boyfriend. I don’t know the reason why he doesn’t want to open up to you but this is all I can say, he was a good boyfriend, and husband when we were still on good terms before. You are his girlfriend now. So, I’m sure you’ve noticed something in his behavior. He has an anger problem; he easily got upset and irritated. So, if you want the relationship between the two of you to last, you must have a broad understanding of his behavior. "

"I know... I know that."

"Then, good. If you still have a question, just ask Sebastian. "

"Where is your baby buried?"

"Why are you asking? You know, Stella. You no longer need to know those details. Just focus on the present and not on the past. I don’t want our deceased baby to be involved with this. I hope you understand that. "

"I am sorry, I just wanted to visit her grave."

"You don’t have to visit her and please don’t call me again, I don’t want to go back to those shit. I have a happy life here in Italy and I hope you and Sebastian will be happy as well. "

After Elaine said those words, she immediately dropped the call. I just sighed. She wanted me to talk to Sebastian but I didn’t want to see him and talk to him right now. My mind was in turmoil, I didn’t know what to do, and because of this, I didn’t realize I had fallen asleep.

***

I just woke up to the knock on the door in my room. I quickly got up from lying down and opened the door.

"Good morning, Stella," David greeted me happily.

"What are you doing here?" I wondered.

"Just a normal visitation, it looks like you were so tired last night that you forgot to change your clothes last night."

I suddenly looked at what I was wearing and just like David said I was still wearing my clothes last night. I was suddenly embarrassed so I immediately closed the door of my room.

"I’ll just take a shower and get dressed," I shouted to David.

"Okay, I’m just here in the living room. By the way, Sam left already. So, we are the only two people here. "

I suddenly blushed at what David said. I bit my lip and pulled my hair because of what I was thinking. I didn’t respond to David after he told me that, and I immediately took a shower.

A few minutes later I was able to fix myself. I left the room and immediately saw David sitting in the living room while drinking coffee.

"Hey," I said to David.

"Oh, you look fresh now. Don’t worry; you still look pretty even if you just woke up earlier and even if you haven’t changed your clothes from last night. "

I just looked at him and didn’t speak, I didn’t want him to think that what he said affected me.

"So, what are you doing here?" I asked.

"You talked to Elaine, last night, right?"

"Oh, did she tell you?"

"Yes, she’s a little mad at me because I gave you her number."

"Sorry for that."

"It’s okay, I know my sister’s behavior, and her anger towards me will subside after a few days."

"Okay, what did she tell you?"

"Um... she told me that you should not call her anymore because she doesn’t want to interfere in your problem with Sebastian and we know that their relationship was over already for a long time."

"I see, please just tell her that I’m sorry because I disturbed her."

"Okay, don’t think about that too much. Come on, I’ll take you to your University now."
