The man in the driver’s seat maintained an inscrutable expression as he kept his eyes fixed on Stella.
As Stella and Kay walked towards the theater, the man got out of the car.
The man was none other than Greg, who had recently been released from prison.
He then removed his sunglasses, revealing a face etched with bitterness and resentment. His icy and intense gaze lingered on the entrance where he had last seen Stella’s retreating figure.
He couldn’t shake off the memory of the party where a brief encounter with Stella had spiraled into a catastrophe. His interaction with her had inadvertently provoked Matthew, leading to significant losses for his family and his subsequent imprisonment.
His father, Ezekiel, had spent a fortune to get him out of prison, and it was only then that Greg discovered Stella was Matthew’s wife.

The couple had fooled him.
After Greg’s release from prison, Ezekiel advised him to start afresh and steer clear of Matthew.
Greg reluctantly agreed, knowing he couldn’t confront someone even his father couldn’t dare to cross.
As fate would have it, he spotted Stella while driving past the theater. He hadn’t seen her in so long and couldn’t help but gasp at how stunning she was.
Time had only increased her allure, reigniting the suppressed desires within him. Greg felt it was the perfect opportunity to satiate his passions and strike back at Matthew.
Since Matthew had sent him to prison, raping his wife seemed like an ideal form of retribution.
With these dark thoughts swirling in his mind, Greg smirked maliciously. He slid his sunglasses back on and entered the theater, his eyes were full of greed.
Stella had proactively notified the theater staff of her visit. Once she and Kay arrived, they were promptly greeted by an attentive staff member who enthusiastically showed them around.
Pointing at the people working on the set, he said, “These are the designers in charge of the field design this time. They are taking measurements right now. Considering the geographical location of Seamarsh, they will follow the sea theme for decoration…”
Stella attentively documented each detail on her phone, nodding appreciatively at the staff’s thorough explanations.

After concluding the tour, the staff member checked his watch and said, “I have another commitment now. Everything I’ve mentioned is what you need to know. Please feel free to take your time here. If you need any help, please contact me.”
“Thank you very much,” Stella responded, offering a grateful smile.
Once the staff member and designers left, Stella found a quiet spot to observe the theater’s Layout more closely.
The venue’s circular architecture intrigued her, especially considering how it would afford guests a closer view of the performers’ outfits. Her mind buzzed with ideas for enhancing the design sketch with intricate details.
Her thoughts, however, were abruptly interrupted as the theater lights went out, plunging the space into darkness.
“What happened? Why is the power out?” Kay asked, panicking.
Not being able to see anything, Stella also felt a twinge of fear but remained composed.
“Kay, please check with the staff about what’s happening. If it’s a power outage, find out when they expect to restore it. If it’s going to be a long wait, we should head back.”
