As we settled back into our seats, I started the car again, the engine's hum a soothing backdrop to the quiet that had settled between us. I glanced over at Sophia, who looked at me with a mix of exhaustion and satisfaction.

"Are you okay?" I asked, my voice gentle but confident.

"Yes," she replied, her smile soft but genuine. "Thank you, Harry."

As we continued our drive, my thoughts began to drift back to Stella. Her obsession with me had reached a dangerous level, and I knew I had to address it. The look in her eyes tonight had been one of desperation and madness, and it sent a chill down my spine.

"Harry," Sophia's voice broke through my thoughts, her hand squeezing mine reassuringly. "What are you thinking about?"

"Stella," I admitted, sighing. "She's not going to stop. Her obsession with me... it's out of control."

Sophia nodded, her expression serious. "We'll figure it out. Together."

I nodded, my resolve hardening. "Yeah, together. But I need you to know something, Sophia. I won't let her hurt you. If she tries anything again, I'll make sure she regrets it. No one threatens what's mine and gets away with it."

Sophia's eyes widened slightly at the steely determination in my voice, but she nodded. "I trust you, Harry. I know you'll protect me."

As we approached Sophia's and my home, I parked the car and turned to her, my expression serious. "I'll protect you, Sophia. No matter what it takes."

"I know," she replied, leaning in to kiss me softly. "I trust you."

Watching her disappear into our house, I felt a surge of determination. I had to find a way to deal with Stella, to ensure she couldn't harm Sophia or anyone else. But for now, I took comfort in the knowledge that Sophia trusted me, and that together, we could face whatever challenges lay ahead.

Stella really picked with the wrong man,Now she is going to regret it for the rest of her life,

As Sophia slipped inside, urgency gripped me. I headed straight for my secret lab, tucked away in our digs.

Inside, tech hummed, and Ethan was in his zone, tapping away like a pro DJ.

"Ethan," I said, cutting to the chase.

He turned, focused. "Harry, what's up?"

"It's Stella," I said, straight up. "Her obsession's off the charts. We need to dig deep on her—background, motives, everything."

Ethan nodded, getting it. "I'm on it," he said, diving into his digital toolkit.

As he worked, I paced, feeling the weight of the situation. Sophia's safety was priority one.

Finally, Ethan spoke up. "Found something," he said, spinning his screen my way. "Clean record, but she's tied to a shady pharma gig."

My gut churned. "Think she's into something sketchy?"

"Could be," Ethan said, brows furrowed. "We need more."

"Keep digging," I said, all business. "We need to know everything."

Ethan nodded, fingers flying. As he worked, I couldn't shake the feeling that Stella's drama was far from over.

But I was determined. Sophia's safety came first, no matter what.

And with Ethan on the case, I knew we'd get to the bottom of it.
