Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

The next morning, Keegan woke up with a hangover and a throbbing headache. He wanted to rub his temples, but he noticed someone was pressing onto his arm as soon as he tried to raise it. Keegan froze and turned to find Stella lying beside him with her head resting on his upper limb.

Keegan’s expression relaxed as his thumb gently stroked against her cheek. Stella found it itchy and reached out to scratch her face. Keegan skillfully dodged her hand and continued rubbing her cheek once she went back to sleep.

Stella frowned. She got mad after not being able to catch what was grazing her face. All of a sudden, she opened her eyes and met Keegan’s gaze. The ambiance in the room was awkward yet romantic.

Stella licked her lips and explained, “You were drunk last night and wouldn’t let me leave, so I stayed.”

“Mhm,” Keegan replied in acceptance of her statement, but his expression showed otherwise. His half-smile seemed to be saying, “You’re making this up.”

Stella pursed her lips and said, “I’m telling the truth. Ask Aldor if you don’t believe me.’

“Sure,” Keegan gently stroked her hair and said. His eyes were drawn to her. Stella could not stand him looking at her like that, so she reached out and covered his eyes.

“Whatever!” She gritted her teeth and said.

Keegan chuckled, pulled her hand toward his lips, and kissed it. “Were you worried that I would choke on my vomit in my sleep?”

When Keegan opened his eyes that morning, he saw the things that Stella had placed next to him. It was not the first time she had done something like this. Whenever Keegan came home drunk from social gatherings in the past, Stella would take care of him even though she said she disliked it.

“Yes. I don’t have a name or place in your family yet. I’m not even qualified to inherit your estate right now. It would be a waste of my time if you died,” Stella paused and said in a serious manner.
