Chapter 8

**Stella's POV**

I parked my car and sat there staring at the building before me.

The Knights' company. 

I was here because of Jason. Hunter wants him in his will. It seems like he suddenly realized that Jason was the only heir they had yet.

I wasn't all for it. I guess I sometimes forget that Hunter is going to be in Jason's life from now on.

I let out a breath and leaned still staring at the building. The last time I came here was to sign my divorce papers, before disappearing from his life.

Matt, my lawyer and best friend was already in the building. I needed him here. We are talking about the Knights and I want to be careful. I want to know exactly what all this is about.

Also because I was afraid that Hunter wouldn't have his lawyer with him and I would have to be alone with him.

I walked in the building and went directly to the receptionists. I told one of them who I was and she smiled telling to use the elevator to go on his floor.

I walked toward and pressed the floor after getting in.

I haven't forgotten anyways.

How could I?

The ding of the elevator made me look at the floor number. I walked out the doors opened. I laughed lightly when I was greeted by a smiling Matt.

"Hey!" I smiled pulling him into a hug. "I missed you." I said hugging him tighter.

"I missed you too. How is my favourite nephew?" He asked and I pulled away with a smile.

"Good. He took the news so much better than I expected." I said.

"I still can't believe he is back just like that." He said. 

I just shrugged my shoulders.

"How is Kyle?" I said making him smile as I mentioned his boyfriend.

"Look at this smile. Guess he is doing pretty good then." I said pinching his cheek as he laughed taking my hand in his and kissing it. 

"Don't make fun of me. I'm not the one with an ex-husband coming from the dead."

We were interrupted by someone clearing their throat. We turned around and saw Hunter and his lawyer. 

Hunter moved from me to Matt who grabbed my waist making my eyes widen slightly. 

I know he is doing it on purpose to see Hunter's reaction. Hunter looked at his arm around my waist and his jaw tightened as he looked at Matt hardly.

Well then. 

His lawyer greeted us and Hunter walked us to his office.

Of course he knew who Matt was. He just never liked him. But Matt was always travelling when we were married so they never really got to know each other.

****

At least two hours has passed and we discussed about the whole contract. More like his lawyer was going over everything again and again, but I made sure to listen to everything.

We only had to sign now. When I suddenly thought about something.

"Before I sign those papers I want things to be added." I said as they looked at me confused. "Mr. Knight and his family won't have any legal right over my son without my consent. Just because he is their heir doesn't mean that they can try to take him from me or make decision without my permission." I said looking at Hunter directly. 

I was mostly talking to him. And he knew it.

"Of course". He nodded leaning back. 

I nodded too as his lawyer added my conditions. I signed them then let out a deep breath. 

"Well we are done here." He announced. "I will send this to the notary." He added before standing up to leave the office.

"Shall we go?" Matt smiled at me. I smiled back nodding and grabbed my purse.

"I have to talk about something with Stella. Lawyers won't be needed." Hunter said staring at Matt who I know was feeling a little uncomfortable, though he doesn't show it.

He looked at me for approval and I nodded my head and hugged him. "I'll call you tonight." I said pulling away. 

He nodded and left. Hunter spoke as soon as the door closed.

"You seem pretty close to your lawyer." He said leaning back on his chair studying me.

"Are you jealous?" I asked teasingly.

"I have the right to be. You are my wife." He said leaning in again.

"Ex-wife Hunter. Ex-wife." I said pointing my finger at him. "So don't you dare introduce me to anyone as your wife. I'm very serious."

"Don't worry". He said sighing as I sat down. 

Before I could speak to ask him why he wanted me to stay, a knock was heard. He told the person to come in his eyes still on me and I rolled mine.

A blond woman wearing a black pencil skirt with a pink shirt. She walked in and frowned as she saw me making me smirk slightly.

"Oh Stella, this is my temporary secretary Chloe. Chloe this is the love of my life Stella." He said as I looked at him with wide eyes. He just smirked at me. 

Asshole.

"Oh. Nice to meet you Stella." She said in very fake way. 

I could tell she didn't want me here. Too bad for her.

I received a text and my phone lock screen appeared. "This must be Jason." She gasped pointing at my phone. "He is very handsome. Obviously a Knight." She said smiling at Hunter in a really flirty way. 

Hunter just looked at me smiling probably waiting for a reaction from me because of his flirting secretary. 

I gave her a small smile. "You look like a very nice girl. I hope you are too stressed because Hunter is very rough." I finished with an innocent smile.

"Actually I'm learning a lot from him." She said smirking at Hunter, then at me. 

"Yeah probably." I smiled the same way as I could tell she was irritated by how calm I looked.

"Sir, your brother went to the lunch with Sent's manager." She said to Hunter obviously irritated. 

Hunter just nodded smirking his eyes still glued on me the whole time.

"I hope to see you again around our working place Stella." She said turning around to leave.

"Working place? Not yet. You're a temp. But I hope to see you again around here too, Claris". I said taking my phone.

"You got it wrong." She said turning to us again and looking at me. "It's Chloe. Not Claris." She said again.

"Oh my bad, Chloe." I said laughing lowly and batting my eyelashes a little, before looking away from her.

She finally left closing the door behind her. I glared at the door before looking at Hunter from the corner of my eyes.

He looked at me teasingly leaning back slowly and smirking.

"Shut up." I said sighing. He chuckled and shook his head. "What's her problem?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"Problem?" He asked smirking at me.

"Since when do you like flirty assistants." I said imitating her early actions making him laugh.

"I can't control her attraction to me." He said cockily unbuttoning his suit jacket. I rolled my eyes smiling.
