When Love Comes Late
Chapter 923

Struggling to rise amidst her pain, Stella shouted, “Greg, please, spare me.

Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you.

Just don’t touch Greg’s grin only broadened.

Feeding off Stella’s struggle, his desire grew with each of her movements.

He reached out, caressing Stella’s face with unbridled audacity.

“I just want you.

What could be more enticing than Matthew’s wife?”

“f@ck off!” Overwhelmed with disgust, Stella pushed Greg with all her might.

However, his body was like an immovable wall.

Laughing, he leaned in closer once again.

The scent of Stella seemed to invigorate him further as he inhaled deeply.

“Don’t touch me! Leave me alone!” Stella’s voice was thick with desperation, her pleas echoing louder in the pitch-dark theater.

As Greg leaned in for a ki*s, a sudden loud bang resounded, followed by brisk, steady footsteps.

A beam of light pierced through the darkness from the entrance.

Feeling Greg’s grip loosen, Stella, still in a daze, didn’t focus on who had arrived.

She quickly rolled away from him.

The sound of bones cracking and Greg’s agonized cries filled the air.

She froze in shock, only to feel a warm, strong hand gently take hold of her arm.

“It’s over,” came a familiar voice, bringing a rush of emotions.

“Matthew?” Stella’s voice quivered.

The next moment, she was clinging tightly to Matthew, and her tears were flowing uncontrollably.

“When did you get back?” she managed to ask between sobs.

Matthew wrapped an arm around her waist.

“I wanted to surprise you.

It’s over now.

Stop crying.

And don’t worry.

I’ve already sent Blue Flame’s assistant away.

”

Gradually replaceing comfort in his presence, Stella let out a deep, affirming sigh.

After a few moments, Stella’s attention shifted to Greg’s cries.

“Don’t let him get away this time,” she said to Matthew, clenching her jaw.

Before she could say more, a cheerful voice called out from the doorway, “Matthew, I’ve already called the police.

”

Stella’s brow furrowed in recognition of the voice, which seemed vaguely familiar.
