Okay, I've apparently updated a week earlier than I'm suppose to, whatever XD

So like, I've finally put together the idea of how Brandon thought Stella had a lover. Yes, I know I'm just throwing a heap of freestyle into this story. Anyways, Normally boring chapter...I think,

I had a few questions asked about this story:

Yup, it is a Bella story, just a bella story. There won't be any other couple moments, but I might add the winx in though.

Writing in a guys POV is actually pretty fun, since people die to read what the guy is thinking, but when its a story about them meeting and falling in love, it gets a little difficult, but in this case, ya all know Brandon and Stella were in love once upon a time. So the desires they have for each other are no secret.


No POV

"Search up, Stella Solaria,"

Instantly his secretary stabbed in the keys, entering the details that were assigned to him on his computer, the screen he was working on was shown off the projector, viewing against the wall for Brandon to spectate.

He gazed at the screen as all the related searches calculated. There were a lot of Stella's in Sydney, but none of them had the last name Solaria. Sydney was the most obvious place Stella would flee to, considering it was her hometown and she'd been musing about it all through their relationship.

Losing his patience he slammed his fist on the desk, sitting back to calm himself a bit. She was absolutely nowhere, there wasn't a trace of her, not even a speck! Where the hell did she disappear off to?

"Show me the images," He commanded, the screen in front of him flashed in many pictures of woman. They were nothing to his exquisite taste and nothing like Cara. He flicked his finger commanded the man beside him to skip to the next picture. He was getting tired, and she seemed nowhere. Why was he even looking for her? He still didn't know, but he had this unbearable urge to see her again.

"This is useless sir, the woman your looking for might not even be in Sydney," His secretary informed, instantly earned a growl from his boss.

Brandon wasn't a man to give in easily, even if it took him the entire night, he'd find her. He wasn't trying to get her back, but just to see her, hear her, and look her in the eye. Then he'd move on for good. Brandon sighed and sank back into his chair, she flipping disappeared off the face of the earth!

But he couldn't help but think, what if she moved on? Found another man and had a sweet relationship, and even got married with children? A lot can happen in 4 dragging years, he should know since he's dated every woman he's encountered. But unlike him just fooling around with the opposite gender, Stella was fully committed, If she thought a guy was perfect, then she'd give to marriage without a second thought and that dawned fear to him.

Suddenly his phone buzzed, snapping him back from his engulfed trance. Shaking his head, he picked it up still getting the secretary to scroll through the photos.

"Mr DeCaro, the new items you requested are ready to be shipped," The person on the other end spoke,

"Whatever, just send them," Brandon responded lazily. He was in no mood to talk right now, He isn't getting where he wanted and that was pissing him off every photo.

"But Sir, they're is going to be a slight delay,"

Mr DeCaro rolled his eyes about to snap something sharp back and hang up. But his eyes shot up as a blonde haired girl's picture flipped past.

"Go back!" He sat up shoving the phone out of his grip, and watched the pictures go back, until the right picture was reached, "Stop!"

She has changed a lot over the past few years, she'd gotten more mature and her shoulder length hair had reached past her waist, making her more attractive. Her pools of honey liquid for eyes looked even more gorgeous than it was 4 years ago, scratch that, she looked even more stunning than she did 4 years ago. That carefree smile she put on lit him up. He knew it was her just at a glance. Her. His Cara.

"Her name is Stella Sir, Stella Devigne, an immigrant to Australia," The guy occupying the computer spoke, taking note of Brandon's unbroken stare towards the phtot. she had changed her last name and registered as an immigrant, no wonder it took him so long to find. According to his calculations she was turning 26 this year, a year younger than him, she was well and truly adult now.

"What's her relationship status?" He mumbled, fear gradually gripping onto him.

"Uh, She's not married Sir," Upon the words he visibly relaxed, so she hasn't committed to a man yet. Which was surprising, she was a fit and beautiful woman, he was sure some guy must've popped the question to her.

"Where does she work and live?"

"She works a full time at a clothing store in the city and she lives by the meadows towards the border of the state, I have the address," The secretary read ou the script of details. That was strange, a clothing store? The Stella he knew loved to design fashion, she went to several fashion shows for inspiration, why isn't she designing anymore?

"Then schedule me a flight tomorrow to Sydney," Mr DeCaro smirked his gaze still held against the picture on his computer screen, "I have a special someone I need to say hello to,"

Stella's POV

"Honey, Hold on!" I called to my sweet baby as he twirling on the pavement, his arms spread out imitating an aeroplane, "Nic, Stay by mommy's side," obediently he giggled hopping around and circling me his arms on flight like a plane.

"Mommy! Can we go to the park?" He squeaked, bouncing about. I laughed and scooped him up into my arms, while my other arm hooked my shopping bags.

"Of course, but we have to go back soon, in time for dinner," I grinned tweaking his nose, He laughed that adorable chortle he does.

"Yes mommy!"

We took a turn to the park and I placed him down, letting him hold my pinkie with his chubby little hands. Nicholas loved the park, actually he loved to be out in the open, out with the world, that's a trait he inherited from me since his father his closed off man who likes man-made over naturally built.

"Look mommy, ducks!" Nic released my finger and tumbled down to the pond just by, "Duckies!"He squealed running into the swarm of birds gathered on the field beside the pond. Stricken by the new comer all the feathered creature scattered from sight. He turned around and grinned at me, all his pearly milk teeth glistening, "I wanna fly like them!" His soft, sweet tone was like music to me. He spreading his arms apart and continued to stumbled around like a plane. I giggled and sat down on the wooden bench by the playground as Nic, scurried up the stairs to the slide.

It was quite warm outside considered it was the summer months for Sydney and town square hasn't been this packed in a while now. The latest trends are out and people have been swarming the city for the style this season. Nic and i just came to the sun for a walk since he wanted go to the city again, I don't exactly have a car, so we use public transport, it's actually a nice way, Nic and I have met a lot of kind people who love Nic since he's very playful and smart.

He was just like Brandon, only you couldn't actually point out he was Brandon's child at a glance since he had most of my facial features. Everyone insists that he looks like me, but I can see Brandon crystal clear in him.

I still remember it was towards 6 months of our relationship that I realised our bond was gradually collapsing. I knew I won't stay with him for long, especially when his family were so brutal.


"Where are we?" I questioned gazing around the beautifully made mansion.

"This is where I grew up," Brandon gripped my hand as we strolled through the corridors together, it was just like those houses in a movie with the high ceiling and gorgeous interior decor. "This is my mom and sister,"

My gaze broke as I stared at the two woman in front of me. They both had brunette hair, just like Brandon but a little lighter than his unattainable shade.

"Well, well, Brandon, did you bring in another one of your weekend girls?" I could already calculate what kind of woman Mrs DeCaro was just at the sentence. Those filthy old hag kind. I didn't like her one bit.

Brandon ignored her half crackle, and softly nudged me forward. "This is my girlfriend, Stella," I didn't let go of his hand though, I didn't want to. The atmosphere was dark and I didn't have any thought about releasing my only light.

"Nice to meet you," I gave them a counterfeit smile, bowing a bit. The younger woman beside Mrs DeCaro, Brandon's sister snorted, giving me a cruel smirk.

"She smell foully of the countryside," She stuck her nose in the air giving me a disgusted look. Wow, their both snobs.

"I'd welcome you to the family, but your not going to last long," His mother sneered slightly so Brandon won't notice. I was taken aback, how could a family be so cruel?


Suddenly I was snapped back to reality when someone's warm hands covered my eyes.

"Shhh," i could hear a masculine voice whisper to Nic, who giggled. I reached up and touched the mellow hands, they were soft and familiar. "Try and guess Stell-Bell," There was only one person who called me that, I smiled recognising that tone anywhere.

"Lucas?" I grinned and he let go and ravelled his arms around my shoulder. I gazed up into his gorgeous light chocolate eyes. He grinned that signature smile of his and ruffled my loose hair.

"How're you doing?" He mused, his Australian accent was crystal clear and heart-warming.

"Uncle Luc!" Nic tumbled down off the stair and ran to him. Luc smiled from ear to ear, lifting Nic into his arms.

"G'day Nicky!" He tapped Nic's nose, and gazed at me. Lucas Anderson, one of my best friends from Sydney. He grew up here in the outback so his accent is peculiarly strong, and he moved to a ranch just a little way off the house I bought, and he'd usually come for visits. He helped me out a lot four years ago after my move back here. He provided me a home, a job and helped to raise Nic for the first 2 years until my mom came.

"What are you doing here?" I questioned, walking to him from my seat on the bench.

"Oh ya know, thought I'd take a walk 'round the city," He smirked, as Nic reached for his long tresses of black, playing with them. Luc was handsome, his milk chocolate eyes and jet black fuzzy hair made him look amazing, he looked kind of like Brant Daugherty- I'd have to admit he's cute. His body is well-built from the toil of working in the ranches and he looks so hot working in the sun.

"No seriously, what are you doing?" I rolled my eyes sarcastically.

"Okay, okay, I knew you'd be here since there is a clearance in most store, and I needed to buy some stuff for the ranch, so I took a stop by," He laughed, I instantly took note of the flaw in how his canine teeth were slightly longer and sharper than the rest of his perfectly straight teeth. We'd make fun of him calling him a werewolf because of that, but I secretly think it looks sexy.

"Mommy, Can Uncle Luc come shopping with us?" Nic folded his hands together in the begging manner and gave me puppy eyes. Nic love Lucas, they're like family to each other, Nic grew up in the arms of Luc and Lucas loves him like a son.

"Well, he…I…Nic," I stammered trying not to fall for those eyes. If Luc and Nic ever got together on a shopping trip then my credit card is going to be maxed out!

"Please Stella-Bella?" Luc pleaded mimicking Nic's puppy look.

"You know I have no choice," I sighed straightening my handbag, both boys grinned as if they've won the lottery. There was no way I could ever say no to those two. Nic slipped out of Luc's grip and threw his hands in the air, dancing around in happiness. Luc smirked at me and I stuck my tongue out at him.

"Real mature Stell,"

"It's not your credit card that'll max out!"

"Alright, Whatever Nicky wants, I'll buy it for him okay?"

"No, don't do that, he's my child,"

"He's mine too ya know," He kissed my nose and walked off holding Nic's hand as they left the park together, I gazed at him leave, feeling baffled.

"Excuse me, since when he become your child?" I caught up with them, walking beside him.

"I helped raise him for the first 2 years of his life,"

"Fair point," I admitted, He had the lead there, Luc was like the father figure to Nic, sine he helped us a lot when Nic was born. I have to give it to him, he sure knows how to look after a child.

"See?" He gave me a smug smile and slipped his spare hand in mine. I was being stubborn so I pulled my hand out of his grip and pouted,

"Fine be that way," He stuck his nose in the air to demonstrate being care less. I giggled and wormed my hand back in his hand, giving it a gentle squeeze.

Luc is my best friend but he doesn't have a girlfriend or a crush, he says the woman he marries as to be strong enough to keep up with him. But seriously, having spent months at his place and working there too, I still can't even begin to work in the same pace as he does.

"So, where are we going to go?" I questioned swaying my hand so both our entwined arms swung back and forth like little children.

"First, can we stop for food?" He smiled at me sheepishly, and I laughed, his man never gets his meals in on time. "KFC?"

"Yes KFC Mommy!" Nic tugged Luc's arm, bobbling around. Luca grinned and ruffled his chocolate and blonde hair.

"KFC sounds fine, I'll call mom and tell her we're having dinner out okay?" I released his hand as soon as we came to the small takeaway diner. Nic and Luca went inside while I stayed outside to contact my mom.


Lucas is a pretty important character in Stella's character, if I haven't exactly described that, but he helped Stella a lot when she broke up with Brandon and came back home. She didn't have a job, a home and her family was all the way overseas (hence the reason her mom came two years after Nic was born).

Lots of Love,
