Semua Bab MY GIRL, GIVE ME A SECOND CHANCE.: Bab 11 - Bab 20

Ella remained frozen, holding the shopping bag, unsure of what to say or do. The silence in the room pressed down on her like a heavy blanket. Finally, Elion broke the quiet.He glanced at her pale, trembling figure and scoffed. “You brought strangers into my house without permission… and cleaned the house without instructions from me or my brother. What makes you think you need my approval to go into the kitchen?”Ella froze for a heartbeat, then glared at him. Her voice was soft, almost lost beneath the tension, yet sincere. “Thank you.”Without waiting for a response, she hurried into the kitchen. Her hands moved quickly, almost automatically, arranging ingredients, chopping vegetables, and lighting the stove. Back at the Madisons, she had been known for her culinary skill—every dish she made carried warmth, love, and a sense of home.Twenty minutes passed. The smell of fried rice, sweet carrots, and savory seasoning began t

Rain had left the streets slick, and the air hung heavy with mist as Ella walked through the neighborhood, each step echoing her unease. The events of the previous day still clawed at her mind—the cold slap, the merciless words, the humiliation she could not erase. Every memory made her pulse quicken, her hands tremble, and her stomach knot.Suddenly, a sleek black Range Rover rolled to a stop directly in her path. Ella froze. Her instinct screamed to avoid it, to pass silently, to vanish. But before she could react, the rear door swung open. A tall, sharply dressed man emerged, his presence commanding, almost predatory.“Hey, beautiful damsel, didn’t you see me?” His voice was smooth but insistent.Ella tried to pass, eyes glued to the ground, heart hammering.“Beautiful damsel! I’m talking to you!” he shouted.She pressed herself against the car, panic rising. Before she could react furt

The mansion was silent except for the faint hum of the air-conditioning and the distant pitter-patter of rain against the glass windows. Ella’s body ached in every direction. Her palms were raw, her legs stiff, and her back screamed in pain from hours of scrubbing the marble floors. And yet, she couldn’t rest—not while the shadows of Elion Copper’s presence seemed to linger around every corner, suffocating her.“Do you think I bought you so you can sleep and laze around my villa?” The voice cut through the silence like a whip. It was Elion Copper. His frown was deep, and his eyes burned with a cold, unrelenting fury that made her knees weaken.“I… I’m sorry, Young Master Elion,” she said, her voice trembling as she pressed her palms against her swollen cheeks, avoiding his piercing gaze. “But sir, I already completed the work that was assigned to me.”Henry, standing a short distance away, froze. His eyes darted between Ella a

The office was eerily silent, save for the faint hum of the ventilation system, its cold breath seeping through the room like a ghost. Ella’s body felt frozen, every muscle locked in tension, every nerve screaming. The night had been a living nightmare, one she had barely survived. Her mind raced, a storm of regret, fear, and humiliation. Why am I still alive? she wondered, shivering uncontrollably. How did I survive the night in that freezing office, locked in with no warmth, no comfort, no mercy?She had tried hiding in every corner, attempting to escape the icy grip of the AC, but there was nowhere to go. The door was reinforced, immovable, her efforts futile. Each attempt to unlock it failed, her panic rising with every tick of the clock. I can’t… I can’t die like this, not here, not now, not under their eyes… Her eyelids grew heavy. The exhaustion and cold merged, and before she could fight it any longer, darkness claimed her.Morning broke

Without a word, Elion walked out of the ward, his steps measured, almost predatory. Henry followed silently, the air around them thick with tension. Seeing that Elion was heading straight for the car, Henry quickly opened the door and gestured for him to get in. Elion slid into the driver’s seat, his movements smooth, almost inhuman in precision. The engine roared to life under his touch, and in minutes, the villa came into view. Elion stepped inside without a word, moving past the living room with a calm so chilling it could freeze hearts. He sank onto one of the sofas, the weight of his frustration pressing down, an invisible storm brewing behind his composed exterior.What a reckless display last night, what a complete disaster. She dares test my patience again and again… Elion’s mind churned with silent fury, fingers drumming lightly on the sofa armrest. The thought of Liza’s life dangling in uncertainty had finally pushed him to act. His gaze was sharp, calcu
