After a pause, Stella whispered to Matthew, “Did you have any inkling of this? Did Neville mention anything?”
Confusion etched on his face, Matthew shook his head. His mind, however, drifted to a recent encounter in a wine cellar. Neville had seemed troubled, caught in some inner conflict.
Was Neville torn between two women back then?
Matthew, though riddled with speculation, kept his thoughts to himself.
This was Neville’s personal affair, and it wasn’t his place to meddle.
The car soon stopped at the gate of Miley’s house. Before Stella got out of the car, she said to Matthew, “I’ll spend the night here with Miley.”
With that, she assisted a despondent Miley out of the car and into the house.
The moment the door shut behind them and the light flicked on, Miley’s dam of tears broke once again.
Stella cradled Miley, gently patting her on the back while offering solace. “Don’t worry, Miley. Regardless of the outcome, I’ll always stand by your side.”
Miley couldn’t say a word. She leaned on her shoulder and kept crying.

After a considerable amount of time, she managed to regain some composure and confided in Stella about the events of the evening.
“Neville’s mother revealed that he was dating Miss Blakely that evening, and she even offered me a substantial sum of money to facilitate a peaceful breakup between us.”
“Is she crazy? How could she insult you like this?” Stella’s anger flared. “Is this truly what Neville desires?”
Miley shook her head in confusion, her voice filled with uncertainty.
“I don’t know. We had plans to watch a movie tonight, but he suddenly claimed to have an urgent matter to attend to and postponed our movie night to some other time. I called him again, but his phone was turned off.”
She perched on the sofa, arms wrapped around her knees, biting her trembling lip, appearing utterly lost and distraught.
Upon witnessing Miley’s pained expression, Stella couldn’t help but be overcome with sorrow.
Gently running her fingers through Miley’s hair, Stella offered words of solace. “You shouldn’t let yourself be downcast over a man Like that. It’s not worth it.”

Tears continued to stream down Miley’s face. She acknowledged the truth in Stella’s words, but accepting it proved to be a difficult and painful task.
Suddenly, a thought struck her, prompting Miley to wipe away her tears and turn to Stella. “Stella, come with me to a certain place.”
“It’s so late. Where are you going?” Stella was shocked.
Miley fixed a determined gaze upon her friend and declared, “I’m heading to Miss Blakely’s residence to see if Neville is truly there with her!”
After a brief moment of hesitation, Stella offered her counsel.
“Miley, let’s not rush into things. Don’t let others sway your decisions. Consider this, Miley. What if this is Amya’s strategy to drive a wedge between you and Neville? If you act impulsively and go there, won’t you be confirming to Amya that you don’t trust Neville?”
