Chapter 744
Stella began to calmly tell Keegan about what happened during their wedding night.
Keegan's face turned pale as he looked at Stella with bloodshot eyes. She looked down and recalled the night that scarred her.
"They said I went into the wrong room, but I've never been to your grandparents' house before. I was just following her. Even
though I drank a little, I was still conscious enough to know what had happened. I wouldn't wander around a place that I'm not
familiar with. I don't care if she was joking or just pulling a prank on me, but what happened that night disgusted me greatly. I was
terrified. I don't know if I'd kill him and Aurora if he did anything to me that night. I can't imagine what I'd become. You always
said that I wouldn't let go of the fact that you left that night. But I've always wondered how much better things would be if you
were there..."
Keegan felt a lump in his throat as he spoke in a twangling and shaking voice, "Why have you never told me about this before?"
Stella's eyes looked teary, but she did not cry. She said, "I was scared at first. I thought it was very disgusting and embarrassing.
Not to mention that it happened on my wedding night. We got married before we got to really know each other, and they were
your family members. I was not
sure if you'd trust them or me. Our marriage would be doomed if you chose to believe them, and my mom and I could not afford
to see that happen. Besides, they kind of threatened me not to say a thing about it, so I didn't dare to. However, I didn't feel like
bringing it up again later because it was already in the past. I don't have any proof, and our marriage was close to collapsing by
then. So, I figured you wouldn’t care about it even if I told you."
"Why would I not care..." Keegan choked and spoke. He wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her close.
Stella could feel Keegan's body shaking involuntarily. He held her waist tightly as if he wanted to become one with her. "I'm
sorry..."
"I'm sorry...
"I'm sorry..."
Keegan apologized to her again and again with his adenoidal voice. He did not know what else to say other than sorry. He would
remind himself of how big of a failure he was as a husband whenever he had a deeper conversation with her.
Stella did not even dare to talk to him about how she got mistreated and bullied. That was because he could not give her any
sense of security around him as a husband. She did not feel like he was someone she could confide in.
He used to think he built an indestructible castle for her to live in with his money. But little did he know there was a bottomless pit
underneath it.
"Stella," Keegan said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry... I'm really sorry..."
The edge of Stella's mouth twitched, and she finally started sobbing out loud. It sounded so pitiful and distressing that it broke
Keegan's heart.
'How dare they do this to someone I treasure so much!'
