Ella's evening passed peacefully.After returning home, she had dinner with Zeke and spent the rest of the night in his company. They talked about ordinary things—her upcoming examinations, Seline's endless chatter, and the new recipes Ella wanted to try.For Zeke, those simple moments had become the most precious part of his day.Before going to bed, he reminded her to get enough sleep."Don't stay up too late."Ella smiled. "You're starting to sound like my father."Zeke's expression immediately darkened."Then I'll be your boyfriend instead."Her cheeks flushed."Goodnight, Zeke.""Goodnight, baby."The following morning followed the same familiar routine.After breakfast, Zeke personally accompanied Ella to school.Before she stepped out of the car, he reminded her to call him if anything happened."I'll be fine.""I know."He paused before adding, "But call me anyway."Ella smiled and nodded.After giving him a quick kiss on the cheek, she hurried toward the school entrance.Zek

Zeke's heart pounded violently as he rushed toward the club. The moment he heard Ella's frightened voice over the phone, every trace of calmness had disappeared. Memories of the previous time she had been in danger flashed through his mind. His fingers tightened around the phone. "Faster." The driver immediately accelerated. "Sir, we're already—" "Faster!" The sharp command silenced him. Zeke stared out of the window, his jaw clenched. Nothing better happen to her. --- Ella sat against the locked door, struggling to remain conscious. Her head felt heavy, and her limbs had become strangely weak. Outside, the man's voice grew increasingly impatient. "Come out! I'll give you money." His fist slammed against the door. "You think you can hide in there forever?" Another violent bang echoed through the restroom. "When I get that door open, you'll regret this!" Ella bit her lip and tightened her grip around the small metal object she had found nearby. Her strength was fa

Ella slowly stretched her arms as she woke, still wrapped in the warmth of the soft duvet. The first thing she noticed was the strong arm securely around her waist. A smile immediately spread across her face. She turned her head and found Zeke sleeping peacefully beside her. Unlike the first time they had shared a bed, she felt no fear or awkwardness this morning. Instead, an unfamiliar sense of comfort settled over her. The sunlight streaming through the curtains fell directly across Zeke's handsome face. Ella frowned slightly. She raised her hand, trying to block the rays, but the sunlight continued to find its way through. After several unsuccessful attempts, she carefully stretched toward the bedside table. The movement disturbed Zeke. His eyelids fluttered open for a brief second. Seeing Ella leaning toward the table, he quickly closed his eyes again, pretending to remain asleep. Ella picked up the remote and pressed a button. The curtains slowly closed, shielding th

Since she was already out, she decided to buy groceries and prepare a sumptuous dinner for everyone that evening. She wanted to make something special. Perhaps she could even make dessert. With that thought in mind, she entered a luxurious grocery store and began picking out everything she needed. Fresh vegetables. Meat. Seafood. Seasonings. Fruits. And several ingredients for the dessert she had in mind. She was reaching for a bottle of sauce when a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind her. "Look who we have here." Ella's hand paused. She turned around. Her expression immediately darkened. Bella. And beside her stood Shane. The two were walking hand in hand. The moment Bella noticed Ella, she deliberately tightened her grip around Shane's arm and leaned closer to him. It was an unmistakable declaration. He was hers. Shane, however, didn't seem to notice. His eyes had already fallen on Ella. The moment he saw her delicate features, his h

Meanwhile, Ella had already returned to the mansion. The moment she stepped through the door, the maids greeted her warmly. "Welcome home, Madam." Ella smiled. "Thank you." She handed the shopping bags to the maids. "Please take these to the kitchen. I'll prepare dinner myself." "Madam, you don't have to—" "I want to." She smiled before walking toward the kitchen. Today, she was in an exceptionally good mood. The twenty million naira prize had solved a problem she had been worrying about for months. She had finally paid Andrew's debt. She still couldn't believe her luck. Yet something about the prize continued to bother her. The chairman's additional fifteen million was far too generous. She shook her head. Perhaps she was simply overthinking it. "Madam." Ella turned. One of the maids stood at the kitchen entrance. "Yes?" "Master called." Her heart immediately skipped. "What did he say?" "He asked if you were home." A smile slowly spread across Ella's face.
