บททั้งหมดของ One Lust Dance: บทที่ 61 - บทที่ 69

Ella had a bad mood on Tuesday morning. She is tired from not getting enough sleep the night before. Her eyelids were drooping. Her limbs were cumbersome. Her head is heavy, as is her spirit. She couldn't stop thinking about the possibility of having normal eyesight and a normal life ever since she learned that there is a cure for her eyes. Her mind is filled with what-if scenarios. Like the idea of being with Edward when he realized she was the woman he'd been looking for and the thought of not being bullied because of her thick glasses. She hadn't decided whether to accept Joaquin's offer to help her with the cost of her surgery until today. Her desire to be beautiful has been at odds with her ego and pride. Ella was busy handing out goody bags to people passing through the plaza's entrance gate when she was tapped on the shoulder. She was startled and screamed at the top of her lungs, nearly dropping the sack of goody bags she was holding

Ella felt confused and disoriented when she woke up. She slowly opened her eyes, squinting to sharpen the blurry images in front of her. She scanned her surroundings and noticed dull gray walls with a pungent smell of disinfectant. Her heart races and her breathing becomes shallow when he learns where she is. Ella attempted to stand, but she immediately felt dizzy, and her head feels heavy. She was suffering from a severe headache and had no choice but to go back to bed. Before she even had a panic attack, her mother entered the room. "Ella, baby, I'm here." Lucita rushed over to Ella and embraced her. Lucita helped Ella back to bed and wrapped a blanket around her. "Hush now, my baby; mommy's here, and I'm not going anywhere," she softly speaks. After a few moments, Lucas entered the room with a bag containing Ella's clothes and other necessities. He set the bag on the couch, walked over to Ella, and sat beside her bed.

After walking out of the family dinner, Edward locked himself in one of the rooms to prevent a family member from barging in. He knew that some of his family members would try to persuade him to return to the family meeting or persuade him to consider marrying Lydia. Even though he wanted to leave the mansion and go home, his grandmother Margaux wouldn't let him and instead requested a private audience with him after dinner. Edward lay on the bed and rested. He was about to fall asleep when he received a call from an unexpected person. "Edward, Ella has been kidnapped!" Lucas said, crying. His voice had a fearful tone to it. Edward felt a twinge of melancholy and perplexity. He tried to process and assess what he had just heard from Lucas, hoping it was a joke. "What happened? Who took her?" Edward inquired worriedly. "A group of men took her to the hospital, and they are all arm

It's been a long, excruciating week for Ella and Edward's family. As the sole heir to Margaux's fortune, Edward became preoccupied with his new duties and responsibilities. He had to go through numerous briefings and corporate meetings before meeting with the board members of the corporations and businesses that his grandmother used to own. On the other hand, Ella was busy with the cases filed against Luis for kidnapping, violence against women and children, physical injury, and attempted murder. Ella's family filed a forgery claim against Enrique Santibanez. When Enrique falsely accused Fernando Cristobal of corruption, he was investigated and his assets were frozen by the government. Enrique filed numerous cases against Fernando, but they were ineffective due to a lack of evidence against him. Enrique was able to tarnish Fernando's reputation due to his strong connections to corrupt officials at the time, which led to his depression. Ferna

Edward was frozen and stuck in place. His breathing is shallow and heavy. He had the feeling that his heart was stopping or skipping a beat. As he stared at nothingness, his eye went round with a blank expression. He couldn't believe what Salome had just told him, and he was keen to know whether she was telling the truth or joking. "Gone where?" he asked Salome, looking at her in disbelief. "Where is Ella?" he asked her once more. His eyes welled with tears. "What happened to her?" Edward has placed his trembling hands over Salome's shoulder and is shaking her back and forth while trying to get answers out of her. "She was happy and excited to go to this party when she came into the shop earlier. Then your brother visited her and spoke to her. The next thing we knew, she was preparing to travel abroad," Salome quickly replied. Edward was taken aback by what Salome just told him. He had no idea his brother would be involved in this. "My brother?" His voice was breaking. "Yes, he s
