All Chapters of FIFTY MILLION DOLLAR OMEGA: Chapter 11 - Chapter 18

Ella's POV "HELL, NO!!!" I hissed, keeping my voice low so my mom wouldn't hear us. "Syl! You're really telling me to sleep with a random stranger for money?!"The idea alone made my stomach twist."I just want you to survive!" Sylvia shot back. "I'm looking at the options, Ella! It's either you end up as Jason's mistress, or you die trying to fight him, or you use the one resource you have that isn't under his control to get the money and get free!" She said, urgency and desperation filling her eyes."It's just one night, Ella. Just one transaction. Then the debt is gone, and Jason loses his leverage over you." "I'm not saying it's a pretty idea, but it's a path. Unless you've got a better idea?""So your brilliant plan is to sell myself to a man I puked on? That's your solution?" I gawked at her."I mean... if you ask me, from what you told me, he didn't exactly... seem uninterested in you." She shrugged, sinking back on the bed.I raised an eyebrow, a mix of amusement and disbeli

Ella's POV Instead, I felt his hands adjusting my coat, to cover my body.My eyes flew open as I took in the hard look on his face."Do you honestly think I need to pay a woman for sex?" he asked, cutting through the silence. "I'm sure you know I have many options."Heat rushed straight to my cheeks."I just thought...""You thought offering yourself would make me help you," he said flatly, cutting me off. "You're already trapped in a scandal, Miss Hammond. And the last thing you'd want to do is turn into exactly what they're accusing you of."That sounded like he didn't believe the rumors.But why?Had he actually looked into my story?The thought made my heart stutter, but the weight of his words were slowly crushing me.He didn't want me.I dropped my gaze, and I knew he could see the embarrassment written all over me.When he spoke again, his tone softened and he spoke a bit gentler."Listen," he said, "I have a sister and I would never encourage her to trade her body for surviva

Ella's POV.The manager turned to me, and the look on his face was wild; he was silently screaming at me to keep my mouth shut. He stepped closer, grabbing my arm, whispering so only I could hear. “Listen,” he said firmly. “These are powerful men and I can’t afford to cross either of them. This… this is the only way nobody walks out hating me and my bar stays standing. So, you’re going to stand right here and let it happen. Got it?”I opened my mouth to argue, but nothing came out. And honestly? He was right. I got myself in this mess and made myself the centerpiece of a fight I had no control over.Jason broke the silence first. "Fine." He shrugged casually like it was nothing. "Let's bid for her.”He looked at the other man, who gave the tiniest nod; just once. He was obviously trying to keep the peace for my sake, and not let things get rougher than it already was."Good, good!" The manager clapped his hands and signaled to some big guys standing nearby. "Take her to the stage.""

Ella's POV.I swallowed the lump in my throat and gave him a curt nod."Understood." I managed to whisper.He released my wrist and I immediately felt cold from the lack of contact. It was a ridiculous feeling to have considering we only made close contacts twice and barely had any proper conversation. And yet the absence of his hand felt like someone had suddenly pulled a warm coat off my shoulders in the middle of winter.I didn't say anything more as I got out of the car. The door shut after me and I could no longer see him behind the tinted windows, but I knew his eyes were on me. I turned and hurried towards the house.The lights were off, which meant my mom was either asleep already… or she had gone out.I reached the flower vase beside the entrance and pulled out the spare key hidden inside. After unlocking the door, I pushed it open; pausing when I felt the vip's gaze was still on me. I realized the car was still in front of the house and I turned back slightly and gave the ca
