Chapter 11
Christian didn’t say anything, he gave no reaction to the words that came out of Ella’s lips.
He imagined, if it was another man who made love to Ella last night...
As he thought about it, anger began to smolder from his heart.
He cursed himself for the rage unknowingly built up inside him and immediately erased the thought from his mind.
This woman was just a toy to him...
When Ella lifted her head again, she saw a credit card being thrust at her. The man who gave it to her looked at her with a condescending gaze, as if he had just made a big donation to someone who had nothing.
.....
“This is to buy some decent clothes. If you want to be my woman, don’t embarrass me on the outside.”
“Thank you,” Ella immediately accepted it and held the card in her hand without the slightest hesitation. After that, she asked, “Does this mean I can be your woman?”
Christian looked at Ella nonchalantly and suddenly wondered how Ella came to that conclusion.
He was only slightly attracted to this woman and did not want her to wear clothes that did not suit his taste. He didn’t want her to spoil his mood.
After all, it had been a long time since he had come across anything quite as attractive as her. Ella offered herself to his door. And Christian was not going to waste it.
Ella’s eyes lit up brightly. “You said you weren’t a benefactor. You’re not going to give this card away for free, are you?” Before Christian could speak, Ella jumped to her own conclusion.
“Do we have a deal?”
Christian looked at Ella with a burning gaze. The corners of his lips lifted slightly, as if he was very attracted to the woman in front of him, but he tried to hide it. “Let’s see later.”
With that, Christian left Ella alone in the hotel room.
After Christian left, Ella didn’t spend her time slacking off. She quickly showered and put her clothes back on.
By the time Ella came out of the hotel, the sun was almost setting. It was getting late...
She took a deep breath as she closed her eyes, feeling that she had already managed to get the first step towards winning.
Across the street, Christian looked out the window from inside his black car. He stared at the woman who was bathed in the sun, as if he couldn’t take his eyes off her.
The driver could only wait in confusion. He gripped the steering wheel tightly as sweat began to drench his temples. He was worried that his boss would be late for the meeting.
It had been over half an hour, but this man had no intention of leaving. Since when did he stop valuing his time?
What exactly was across the street? Isn’t it just a woman?
Woman?
The driver seemed surprised when he realized his own thoughts.
What kind of woman could attract his master’s attention?
He turned his head, trying to peek at the woman standing across the street. But suddenly, a cold voice rang out from the back seat. “Let’s go.”
The driver did not dare to delay any longer. Although he was curious as to what kind of woman could attract the attention of his master, he immediately stepped on the gas and drove towards the company.
Ella didn’t notice a car stopped across the street. She continued to walk slowly while enjoying the atmosphere around her.
It was getting late and the wind was starting to blow, making the night feel even colder.
Everyone started to put on their jackets to keep out the cold wind, but Ella walked in with her T-shirt casually.
What Christian said last night flashed through her mind.
Even though she didn’t want to hear those words, she had to admit that what Christian said was the truth.
She had given birth before and she had had a child. A woman like her was so unworthy of Christian.
A woman like her would never be able to satisfy Christian.
But sadly, Ella needed Christian to achieve her goals.
She didn’t care even though Christian thought of her as disgusting trash.
She didn’t care even though Christian only saw her as a toy.
All this she did for her son!
Her gaze turned sharp. She straightened up and walked faster towards the biggest mall in the city.
Tall buildings spread out in front of her, right in the center of the city. The walls, which were completely made of glass, looked absolutely magnificent in the twilight.
Ella didn’t hesitate as she walked towards the highest floor.
She understood what Christian wanted. He was very critical in everything, including the woman who would accompany him.
Her clothes were no exception.
“Isabella!”
Just as she entered, she heard a voice not far from her. It wasn’t the voice Ella wanted to hear right now.
When Ella turned around, the sharpness on her face she had hidden behind her mask. But her face wore an ironic smile.
Indri walked towards Ella in a haughty manner. Her every step echoed because of her high heels eight centimeters high.
She wore a dress from a well-known designer, with a bag that matched her outfit, looking very classy.
She did not expect to meet Ella while walking in the mall. She managed to throw Ella into a mental hospital once.
Who would have thought that Ella would only languish for five years!
But what made Indri a little happy was, the Maheswara family didn’t think of Ella and didn’t let her return to their house again.
It made Indri feel a little calmer. She looked at Ella and snorted coldly. She used the superiority of her high heels to overtake Ella and looked at her.
“How does it feel after getting out of the mental hospital? You must be very happy, right? Too bad my family doesn’t accept you anymore. Now Haikal and I will be getting married soon.”
Ella didn’t answer and the expression on her face remained the same.
She was not interested in what Indri said.
When Indri saw the clothes on Ella’s body, she became even more proud. “Your life must not be easy, right? How does it feel to be an ant?”
After saying that, Indri burst out laughing. Every sentence that comes out of her mouth was intended to hurt Ella’s heart.
But Ella didn’t care anymore.
“Thank you for opening my eyes. Now I’m awake.”
Ella didn’t care even though she was only wearing a worn out t-shirt, which couldn’t match the prestige in Indri’s clothes.
She squinted and looked at Indri, “But it seems that you forgot something. At your engagement party, Haikal made out with me. Why did he seem to still like me? I’ve been gone for five years, but he still couldn’t get me out of his heart.”
