Married to a Secret Billionaire (Stella Taylor)

Chapter 45 He Was Hers

Chapter 45 He Was Hers

Liam's expression changed slightly.

Beside him, Andrew tipped him a wink and pointed not far away.

Through the car window, he saw Stella standing in a daze in the middle of the street, surrounded by a

bustling crowd. Behind her was the landmark building of Emberfall, the headquarters of the Martinez

Group.

Stella pressed the phone against her ear, waiting quietly for his answer.

He let out a sigh and chuckled. "In the past... I caused some trouble in Emberfall, so I stayed there for

some days."

Stella paused for a moment and immediately changed the topic.

Andrew had been watching him all along. Stella said something on the other end of the phone, and Mr.

Martinez smiled so happily.

He had never seen Mr. Martinez look so gentle before.

It wasn't until the call ended and Stella and her colleague walked away that Andrew asked in a low

voice, "Mr. Martinez, should we clear those places you mentioned to Miss Taylor in advance?"

"No need. Let her have fun as she pleases." Liam became as indifferent as usual. "Send more people

to protect her these days, but they must stay hidden and not let her see them."

"Yes, I see."

"And..." His eyes narrowed slightly. "Unless I intervene, do not let any member of the Martinez family

get close to her!"

......

The Martinez Manor was located on Evergreen Mountain in the south of Emberfall.

The entire manor was built along the mountain, grand and luxurious, like an independent kingdom. The

Martinez family, as the head of the four major families, controlled nearly half of the country's economic

lifeline.

Noah Martinez slowly walked down the stairs. The spacious living room was just lively but instantly

became silent.

His tall and sturdy figure was perfectly complemented by the wide black suit. His angular face was

resolute and firm, and his deep, cold eyes revealed a sense of detachment and vigilance toward the

whole world.

He glanced lightly at those flattering faces, nodded as a greeting, and had them sent away without

saying a word.

Since he returned to Emberfall two days ago, there had been a continuous stream of visitors every day.

After the air crash, there were rumors that Noah's charred remains couldn't be found and the Martinez

family was in constant turmoil. Everyone coveted the position of heir.

But now, Noah miraculously survived the disaster and returned.

Members of the Martinez family and other families who were ready to make trouble all wanted to find

out the truth and see what exactly was going on.

"Mr. Martinez." Andrew walked to Noah and whispered, "Mr. Christopher Martinez has sent people here

to ask many times."

Noah suddenly clenched his hand at his side.

After the news of his survival reached the Martinez family in Emberfall, his second uncle Christopher

was the most excited. It was said that he prayed in the church every day, wishing to announce to the

world how much he loved his nephew.

But the guiltier one was, the more he would put on a show for others.

Noah knew that Christopher was doing all of this for his grandfather's sake.

"Mr. Christopher Martinez is going to hold a welcoming party for you tomorrow evening at Evergreen

Manor." Andrew chuckled softly. "There are rumors that the Martinez family is using this party to select

your fiancee, so many renowned ladies from Emberfall and other cities will attend it."

"Humph, Uncle Christopher is really concerned about my marriage." Noah sneered. "He started picking

girlfriends for me since I went to university, didn't he?"

Over the years, Christopher had introduced more than ten women to Noah, all of whom were instructed

by Christopher. However, Noah saw through each one of them and ruthlessly drove them out of

Emberfall.

He wondered what kind of trick Christopher would play at the party tomorrow night.

"Have Oliver and Caleb both returned?" Noah lazily played with the flowers on the windowsill.

"Yes." Andrew nodded. "They will also attend the party tomorrow night."

"Hmm. Let them handle it carefully, especially Oliver. Keep an eye on him and make sure he drinks less

and doesn't say anything inappropriate."

After giving his instructions, Noah went upstairs.

Suddenly, he felt that the staircase was endless as if he could never reach the end no matter how he

walked.

When he returned to his room, he felt exhausted. He fell onto the bed, one hand resting on his

forehead. He began to miss the small rented house in Eldoria.

In that house, there were also flowers on the balcony. Stella planted the purple irises herself. She liked

to sit in a small chair there, basking in the sun. The sunlight shone on her face, and her smile was as

brilliant as crystal.

He got up and entered the dressing room, taking out a belt and rubbing it in his hands for a long time.

This belt was bought by Stella for him.

At that time, she only had three thousand dollars left in her bank account, but when he said he liked it,

she transferred the money to him without hesitation. She even had a special way of explaining it - "A

wife should buy a belt for her husband. It means she wants to tie her man to her firmly!"

"If we're going to buy one, let's buy a good one, sturdy and durable. I can tie you by my side for a

lifetime!"

A warm smile appeared on his lips.

There were countless luxury belts in his dressing room, but he had never cared about these

extravagant items.

However, he couldn't bear to wear this belt. His heart would ache even if there was just a light scratch.

Noah took a deep breath and quickly changed into the T-shirt and jeans he wore when he came from

Eldoria. Finally, he felt that he looked normal in the mirror.

This was Liam, the man who belonged to Stella alone.
