The three friends entered the mansion together and split up as soon as they were inside. Ella went straight to the buffet. She couldn't wait to try the dishes she'd seen at the bar counter during her shift. She's been drooling over the steaks and barbecue she smelled from the grilling station directly across from the bar counter.She was almost at the buffet corner when she saw Edward return to the bar counter. Looking for her. She decided to go there and greet him. She overheard him speaking to the person behind the counter while she was near the bar."Where was the girl who is working here earlier?" Edward inquisitively inquired."She's already gone. Her shift had ended ten minutes ago," the crew informed him.With a frustrated sigh, Edward asked, "Could you please pour me a glass of Château Cheval Blanc 1947?"Ella clears her throat and tries to modulate her voice so that Edward will not recognize her. "Could I please have the same?" she asks softly.Edward turned around to see who

Corazon Madrigal is renowned for having a contemptuous attitude toward persons who belong to lesser social classes or are not on the same level. She doesn't want to be surrounded by people who will not be beneficial for their family. Fortunately, she has children that are the complete opposite of her, especially Bernard and Edward. The majority of their characteristics are inherited from Margaux, their grandmother. When she learns that Edward is interacting with someone from a lower social class, she employs a private investigator right away to find out more about the waitress and the masked female that Edward is seeing. Corazon would go to any lengths to eliminate those she believes are merely out to ruin the family reputation, which she has been protecting for a very long time. Corazon constantly succeeds in getting what she wants. On the other hand, Mateo makes every effort to avoid interfering in their children's lives. He wants them to

Joaquin and Ella were on their way back to campus when one of Joaquin's nerdy friends called. He answered the phone right away because he knew they would not call him unless there was an emergency that required immediate attention. "Wait a minute, what?" Joaquin shockingly said he was so taken aback that he slammed the brake pedal, bringing their vehicle to a complete stop. Ella was startled and nearly collided with the dashboard, but thankfully she was wearing a seatbelt. "What exactly is going on?" Ella inquired, concerned. Ella noticed a ghastly whiteness spreading over Joaquin's face. She feared that Edward could be in trouble, so she kept asking him what was going on. Joaquin immediately started the engine and drove hurriedly back to the campus. "Edward was taken by Corazon's men," he said panicky to her. Joaquin tries to concentrate on driving; he

It was a beautiful Saturday morning at the costume shop. Ella arrived early to set up the new gowns for display as well as the recently delivered items for sale. After what happened last night at the Madrigal mansion, she was extremely motivated and inspired. Ella was still weak after she regained consciousness. When she felt that the rescue breath that Edward was giving her had turned into a kiss, she pretended to be asleep. Ella somehow pretended to be hallucinating or dreaming of kissing in her sleep. Being kissed by Edward as Ella and not the masked woman was the best thing that had happened to her. She wanted to savor every moment she had with Edward and feel his touch once again. "Someone is overly cheerful today," Bruce said to Ella. "My dear, you are blossoming. Did you apply any beauty regiments to your face?" He noticed she had a different glow. "Nothing. I just got a good night's sleep." With a smile on her fa

It was a beautiful Sunday morning, perfect for spending time outside with friends and family. Ella couldn't sleep last night when Edward invited her to spend the day with him. She spent the entire night contemplating whether the invitation was for a friendly or romantic date. Ella dozed off near dawn, and when she awoke, Edward was no longer by her side. Ella stood up quickly and made her bed before leaving her room. She was worried Edward would leave without saying goodbye. She dashed into the living room, but he was nowhere to be found. Then she smelled the fresh aroma of coffee emanating from the kitchen. Ella entered the kitchen and noticed Edward standing in front of the counter, preparing coffee while on the phone. "Yes, I'll do anything you want. All I asked for was a day free of interference from them," he said firmly to the person on the other end of the phone. When Edward saw Ella walk into the kitchen, he imme
