Meanwhile,

Ella had already returned to the mansion.

The moment she stepped through the door, the maids greeted her warmly.

"Welcome home, Madam."

Ella smiled.

"Thank you."

She handed the shopping bags to the maids.

"Please take these to the kitchen. I'll prepare dinner myself."

"Madam, you don't have to—"

    At the time, Bella had convinced herself it meant nothing.Perhaps Zeke was simply helping someone.Perhaps they had some business connection.But after seeing Ella receive twenty million, she could no longer dismiss the possibility."What if..."Bella paused."What if Zeke is the one behind the money?"Kathy immediately shook her head."Impossible.""Why?""Because a man like Zeke Fredamo wouldn't date someone like Ella."Bella frowned."Why not?"Kathy gave her an incredulous look."Do you even understand who that man is?"She leaned back."Zeke Fredamo is one of the most powerful young businessmen in the country. He's surrounded by wealthy families and women from prominent backgrounds."Her voice carried a note of disdain."Why would someone like him choose Ella?"Bella fell silent.She had no answer.Kathy continued."Besides, I've heard things about him."Bella looked at her curiously."What things?"Kathy lowered her voice."People say Zeke isn't interested in women."Bella's e

    By the time Bella arrived at her family home, the sky had already begun to darkened.She stepped out of the car with an irritated expression, her mind still occupied by what she had witnessed at the grocery store.Ella's smile.The expensive groceries.The mysterious phone call.And, most importantly, the way Ella had looked completely unbothered by her presence.Something had changed.Bella pushed open the front door and walked inside."Mum?"Her voice echoed through the spacious living room.Kathy was sitting on the sofa, a cup of tea resting untouched on the table before her. The moment she saw Bella, she straightened."You're finally back."Bella dropped her handbag onto the sofa."Mum, you sounded so serious on the phone. What happened?""Come and sit down."There was something unusual about Kathy's expression.Bella immediately became alert.She walked over and sat beside her.Kathy waited until Bella was settled before speaking."I heard something today."Bella frowned."What?

She handed the shopping bags to the maids. "Please take these to the kitchen. I'll prepare dinner myself." "Madam, you don't have to—" "I want to." She smiled before walking toward the kitchen. Today, she was in an exceptionally good mood. The twenty million naira prize had solved a problem she had been worrying about for months. She had finally paid Andrew's debt. She still couldn't believe her luck. Yet something about the prize continued to bother her. The chairman's additional fifteen million was far too generous. She shook her head. Perhaps she was simply overthinking it. "Madam." Ella turned. One of the maids stood at the kitchen entrance. "Yes?" "Master called." Her heart immediately skipped. "What did he say?" "He asked if you were home." A smile slowly spread across Ella's face.

  • The billionaire forgotten substitute    She knows Nobody Important

    At the checkout counter, Ella paid for her groceries and walked outside. The moment she reached the parking lot, she noticed her phone vibrating. She pulled it out. Zeke. A smile immediately appeared on her face. She answered the call. "Hello?" "Where are you?" His deep voice came through the phone. "I'm at the market." "Alone?" Ella smiled. "No. The driver is with me." There was a brief silence. "Did you buy everything you needed?" "Yes." "Good." Ella narrowed her eyes suspiciously. "Why are you asking?" "I can't ask about my woman's day?" Her cheeks immediately warmed. "Who is your woman?" "You." His answer came without hesitation. Ella bit her lower lip, trying to suppress her smile. "You really have no shame." "None when it comes to you." She laughed softly. The driver, standing nearby, immediately turned his face away to hide his smile. After a few more words, the call ended. Ella placed her phone back into her bag. Sh

    Since she was already out, she decided to buy groceries and prepare a sumptuous dinner for everyone that evening. She wanted to make something special. Perhaps she could even make dessert. With that thought in mind, she entered a luxurious grocery store and began picking out everything she needed. Fresh vegetables. Meat. Seafood. Seasonings. Fruits. And several ingredients for the dessert she had in mind. She was reaching for a bottle of sauce when a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind her. "Look who we have here." Ella's hand paused. She turned around. Her expression immediately darkened. Bella. And beside her stood Shane. The two were walking hand in hand. The moment Bella noticed Ella, she deliberately tightened her grip around Shane's arm and leaned closer to him. It was an unmistakable declaration. He was hers. Shane, however, didn't seem to notice. His eyes had already fallen on Ella. The moment he saw her delicate features, his h

    After class, Ella made her way to the staff office to claim her prize.She knocked lightly before stepping inside."Good morning, sir."She offered a respectful bow to the officer before acknowledging the other staff members in the room with a polite smile."Good morning, Ella."The officer's face immediately brightened. He stepped forward and gave her shoulder a gentle pat."Congratulations. You did an excellent job.""Thank you, sir."He reached into a drawer and pulled out a check before handing it to her."Here. This is your prize."Ella accepted it with a smile.But the moment her eyes landed on the amount written on the check, her smile froze.Her eyes widened.She stared at the figures again.20,000,000.Twenty million?Her fingers tightened around the check."Sir..." Ella looked up in confusion. "I think there's been a mistake."The officer raised an eyebrow."A mistake?""This isn't the amount I was supposed to receive."She carefully glanced at the check again."Isn't the
