Boisterously entering the mansion, Ella skipped toward the living room, her cheerful mood filling the entire house."Good evening, everyone," she greeted with a bright smile, giving the chef and Maria, the head maid, a slight bow.To her surprise, neither of them responded immediately.Instead, they remained huddled together, whispering in hushed voices.Curiosity got the better of her.She quietly tiptoed closer."Tomorrow is the boss's birthday," Maria whispered.The head chef sighed."It is... but he never celebrates it."Ella's eyes widened in surprise."Why wouldn't he celebrate his birthday?" she blurted out.The sudden voice startled the two of them.Maria and the chef jumped in fright before hurriedly turning around."M-Miss Ella..."Ignoring their embarrassed expressions, Ella walked over with a puzzled look."Why doesn't he celebrate?" she asked, her curious gaze lingering on the pair.Maria and the chef exchanged hesitant glances.Finally, Maria let out a soft sigh."Becaus

Zeke wept quietly in her embrace. Ella said nothing at first. She simply continued to stroke his hair and gently pat his back, allowing him to release the pain he had carried for fifteen long years. After a long silence, she spoke softly. "You don't have to keep blaming yourself." The simple sentence shattered the last of his restraint. His trembling grew stronger as another wave of tears escaped. "No..." he choked out, his voice breaking. "She probably hated me..." His breathing hitched. "I... I killed her." Ella gently cupped his face and lifted it until his tear-filled eyes met hers. "No." Her voice was calm and unwavering. "No mother hates her child." She carefully wiped away the tears on his cheeks with her fingertips. "If she could see you now..." A faint smile touched her lips. "...her heart would ache." "She wouldn't want you to spend the rest of your life punishing yourself." "She would want you to smile." "She would want you to live." "Most of all..." "

The peace at the mansion was shattered.Jessica Fredamo stormed into the living room with several luxury shopping bags in hand.The moment she saw Ella comfortably reading on the sofa, her face darkened."So you're still living here?"She sneered."I really underestimated how shameless you are."Jessica thundered.She had visited the time she knew Zeke wouldn't be home.Ella slowly closed her book.She looked at Jessica calmly."Good evening."Jessica scoffed."Don't pretend to be well-mannered.""You've forgotten your place." her face frown in disgust and resentment.She wouldn't have cared about such a peasant,if she hadn't seen the impact her little show make online.It was obvious Zeke most have seen something in her and she needed to get rid of her.Little mistake could cost them,what they've planned for years."You should learn the difference between people of different status.""Do you think,Zeke would marry you?""Such a man that powerful, only needs a woman of same status."

Zeke sat silently, his composure crumbling for the first time in years.Negotiating billion-dollar deals had never made him nervous.Facing ruthless business rivals had never unsettled him.Yet now...As he waited for Ella's answer, his palms grew damp, and his heartbeat echoed loudly in his ears.His future seemed to rest on a single word from the woman before him.He held his breath.Waiting.Ella's own heart pounded wildly against her chest.Her trembling fingers tightened around the edge of the blanket as she searched his eyes, hoping to find even the slightest trace of uncertainty.Instead...She found honesty.Warmth.Unwavering affection.And emotions so deep they almost overwhelmed her.For a long moment, neither of them spoke.She noticed the slight tremble in Zeke's hand.The usually composed and fearless man...Was just as nervous as she was.A smile slowly curved her lips.Before he could say another word, Ella gently reached forward and held the collar of his shirt.She s

Ella sat comfortably in the garden, chatting with Seline over a video call. "So?" Seline leaned closer to the camera. "Tell me everything." Ella smiled shyly. "There isn't much to tell." "There isn't much?" Seline gasped dramatically. "You've been smiling for the last five minutes!" Ella covered her face. "...We're together." For a brief second... Silence. Then— "What?!" Seline's excited scream nearly burst through the phone speaker. "You and Mr. Fredamo are officially dating?" Ella nodded shyly. "Yes." "Oh my goodness!" Seline jumped up from her chair, laughing excitedly. "I knew it!" "I knew he liked you!" "My best friend is dating the most eligible bachelor in the country!" Ella laughed helplessly. "You're more excited than I am." "Of course I am!" The two friends continued chatting and laughing until the call finally ended. ...After ending the video call with Seline, Ella stretched lazily and smiled to herself.Being in a relationship felt...Different.
