Darkness was all that Ella could see. And pain was all she felt. It had been 2 months 4 days and who-knows-how-many hours that she was locked in this dark cell where sunlight never seemed to reach. It was difficult to even distinguish day from night. The high-pitched squeaking of the mice constantly reminded her of the company she had inside the cell. They felt tiny to touch but they were quite the vicious ones. When they dug their large teeth in her brutally injured skin, a chunk of flesh would tumble out. It was painful at first. It still was. But to some extent, she had grown numb to it. Whoever locked her in the cell had left her in the company of these mice and a dagger, stating that she should kill herself when things got too painful. She picked up the knife and slashed it across her thigh where one can feel multiple cuts. 2 months and 5 days. She would not die here in this place. Even if the whole world turned its back against her, there was one person who would not

"Sister! Oh my god,'' An audible gasp sounded by the door.When Ella turned around, she saw a pretty face peeking from the door. A face she did not think she would see so soon.Her younger sister. Esther.Also the one who sent her to her grave.''What is happening? Why are you in this condition...?" She looked at her with eyes wide open.Ella calmly covered her body with the sheets.''Sister, I sent you the outfit yesterday and I gave you all the information but still... you did not make it to the event. And now, this... Did Mr. King do this to you?" She looked at the messy bed, and then at Ella's neck that looked like it was bitten by a mad dog everywhere.But in Esther's eyes, Ella saw a hint of jealousy that she had never spotted in the past."It's normal for these things to happen between a couple,'' Ella said after a while.Esther was stunned, visibly never expecting to hear such words from Ella's mouth one day.She immediately stepped forward and pressed the back of her palm to

Adrian had said so when she was in her mid 20s. Now, she is 22.So 'nobody would stop her' was only applicable after a few years and now, she would be stopped?She could only blame herself for missing this detail.Back then, she had not cared much.To hell with your company and to hell with your mansion and you. She had thought.Who knew that barely one life later, she would come running here, eating her own words?The receptionist's face had altered colours by now, ''Yes, you need an appointment to see the President. Now, if you don't have it, please...'' she pointed towards the exit.''I know him,'' Ella inhaled a deep breath, ''Just give him a call, tell him my name and he will know.''The receptionist's polite mask finally showed huge cracks, ''Miss, please show yourself out or I will have to call the security to drag you outside.''Ella pinched the spot between her brows, ''Miss, I understand that you are doing your job but shouldn't you consider giving me the benefit of doubt an

''Call you here? When did I call you here? Utter nonsense!'' Ella pushed the man away with all her might.Max had a lean stature and he barely worked out so his posture shifted and he staggered a bit under the force. His handsome face even looked a little pitiful in the dim lighting. Like a lover who had been betrayed.In her past life, Ella had been moved to tears when he still showed concern to her after she spent a night with Adrian, thinking it was Max.Her relationship with Adrian worsened because she had uttered Max's name. But Max consoled her through it all, saying that he knew her heart.And her past self felt like this was the man she would carve her heart out for. Now, she found it laughable.The man who got engaged yesterday was here to question somebody else's wife's faithfulness. She was not righteous and she had never pretended to be but the self-proclaimed righteousness of this white lotus man was as laughable as it got.''I had left three roses on the gate. And all of

In a lavish mansion, a man paced in the living room. His face was filled with rage and his movements were impatient, ''That bitch!"At this moment, there were sounds of urgent footsteps from the outside.When Max turned around, he was greeted by the sight of a beautiful face.Esther looked at him with tear-filled eyes, ''Brother-in-law, why do you seem so upset? Was it sister again?"''Esther, don't call me brother-in-law again. That sister of yours doesn't know what is good for her,'' Max scoffed.''She had been crying for days when she realized that you were getting engaged. On the night of your engagement, she wanted to come even if it meant seeing you from afar...''''Don't even mention it! Even though it was my engagement night, I had made arrangements for her to be shifted to a flat in the suburbs. I cannot marry her legally but she could have been my mistress in name. With her current appearance, even though I would not touch her, she was not having any losing deal at all!"Est
