Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

Keegan was uninterested in Jaylene’s post. He texted Stella: [Have you been keeping that wedding photo on your phone all this time?] ‘That’s not the main point here,’ Stella thought.

Despite that, he pressed on: [Didn’t you say you deleted all the photos when we divorced? Were you lying to me?] Stella did not know how to respond.

Keegan speculated further: [Were you lying too when you claimed you didn’t like me back then? Stella, did you… have feelings for me when we got married?] Stella replied: [No? I married you to avoid being forced into marrying an old man. I had plenty of suitors back then, you know. Just look at Spencer; that should give you an idea of the type of men pursuing me. With so many highquality men after me, why would I like you?] Keegan continued to type out a message: [Stella, you married me because you had feelings for me, right?] [No, it was because I was interested in your money.] As soon as the message was sent, Keegan called.
