Chapter 175: Sweet revenge
Before they could even react or scramble to put on their clothes and shield their naked bodies, the police had knocked down the door and came barging in without a single warning.
The loud bang reverberated throughout the tiny room, echoing in their ears as their hearts leaped into their throats. Their cheeks were flushed red as they stared ahead with wide eyes, shock twinkling in the depth of their eyes. Almost immediately, Blake jumped out of bed to grab his clothes without a single care, leaving Stella to fend for herself as she covered herself and reached to grab her clothes, quickly putting them on.
"We have received a call for suspected illegal prostitution in this room, you are now under arrest," one of the officers announced loudly with a serious expression that masked his features.
It turned out that not too long ago, Aurelia had instructed Bryce to call the police to report them, claiming that there may be illegal prostitution activities going on in that very room Blake and Stella were in.
The both of them were dumbfounded as the words left the officer’s lips. There was a lump stuck in their throats as they struggled to find the words to say, staring ahead with a blank expression for what seemed like an eternity before chaos ensued.
Stella’s eyes widened a fraction as she turned to meet the officer’s gaze. "What’s going on?" She asked as a frown crept onto her face, resting between her brows. "There is no illegal prostitution, there is no such thing!" She shouted loudly this time, desperation evident on her face while Blake cowered behind her, hiding behind the curtains or anything he could use to hide his face.
She turned around to look at Blake as the frown on her face deepened. "Blake, say something! Won’t you?" She snapped in frustration, her tone carrying a sharp edge to it as she spoke.
She was only greeted with silence and she couldn’t stop the exasperated sigh that left her parted lips before she whipped her head back around to look at the officers. She arched her perfectly groomed brow at the man. "Do you not recognise me? I’m Stella Brooks for God’s sake! I’m a famous actress, you should know me!" She cried out loud as she pointed at herself, her eyes still somehow gleaming with a mixture of hope and desperation.
She watched as the man remained stoic, not a hint of recognition flashed past those icy green eyes.
