The gangster and Agatha exchanged glances as the gangster boss stepped out of the room, just before he closed the door, Agatha called back to him. She had a brilliant idea to teach Ellen a lesson."Wait!"Agatha exclaimed. And the gangster boss looked back. He immediately approached her along with the gangster behind him."What is it again?"The gangster boss asked in an annoyed tone. Right now, the only urgent thing for him was to get revenge on Ellen. To beat him up for daring to hurt his girlfriend."Are you going to beat Ellen up just like that?"Agatha asked the gangster boss and he answered without hesitation."Yes. I will destroy him!""He's a sneaky guy. You'd better devise a plan to teach him a lesson."Agatha tried to incite the gangster boss to cooperate with her and carry out her plan, but he flatly refused."I don't need a plan just to kill him. I can easily take his life."The gangster boss spoke in a tone full of confidence. With his burly body, fighting prowess, and ev
Agatha looked very confused when she saw Ellen just standing like a statue while Sophie was being held hostage. With the gun right on her head.He should have done something, something big, that showed that he had so much power that he could destroy those gangsters for daring to touch his wife.Ellen squinted at the gangster standing right behind the gang boss, watching him. This must be him, he thought."I don't think it's like returning a favor, but rather robbing by force."Ellen spoke while looking at the gangster boss. His eyes were sharp like an eagle."I saved your girlfriend from the bastard standing behind you, but you do this to me instead?"Ellen asked for an explanation for the gangster boss's suspicious actions.The gangster boss spat right in front of Ellen with a disgusted expression. The spit almost hit him."I knew it was you!""What?"Ellen frowned in confusion, but then he began to understand the situation. He glanced back at the gangster with a look full of anger.
The Alexiou family held a party celebration before Lily and Daniel's wedding. They invited relatives and close friends to participate in the party. They also asked Sophie and Ellen to come. Intentionally, they wanted to embarrass her.Sophie refused, but Ellen said yes out of respect for them as her family."Don't worry. I'm fine."Ellen, who saw the troubled look on Sophie's face, immediately wrapped her arms around her waist."I just don't want to see you humiliated by them again, Ellen," she admitted."Let them say whatever they want to say."Then Ellen spoke again in a soft tone."Let's just enjoy the party.""Okay."Sophie smiled back.They deliberately stayed away from the crowd of their families and stood side by side while enjoying the food and drinks provided. Until Daniel and Lily arrived, taunting them for not having a party celebration like they did."How was our party tonight? It was lavish and amazing, wasn't it?"Daniel spoke with a smug expression while boasting that h
Their wedding day had finally arrived. Instead of being happy, Sophie felt very anxious and restless. Since the incident, she rarely saw Ellen. He was very busy, either doing something or preparing for the lavish wedding he had promised her family.She was in her room, waiting anxiously while her family was downstairs. They must be waiting for Ellen's undoing. She didn't want him to be humiliated again and she didn't want to break her promise to marry him.Suddenly, there was a knock on her bedroom door, and a maid came to say that there was a delivery for her. She rushed downstairs to see what she had received.Sophie was surprised to see a bone-white wedding dress that looked so beautiful and luxurious. With diamonds on the chest, it looked so expensive."Is this for me?"Sophie asked the man who delivered the dress to her with a confused expression on her face. She thought it might be Lily's dress that Daniel had prepared for her."Yes, it is. This is the dress for you, miss.""For
The look of annoyance on Lily's face grew. She stared in exasperation at Daniel. She searched for the truth of the same shocked expression she was currently experiencing."What is this? How did this happen, Daniel?"Although Lily was angry and emotional, she tried to hold it in for Daniel's sake."I don't know. There's no way a poor person like him could afford to rent the best building in Kester City. But..."Daniel swallowed his saliva with difficulty. The expression on his face hardened. He looked straight at the entrance of the luxurious banquet hall."Impossible...."He muttered again, then looked at Lily who looked even more confused."There must be something wrong here.""Yes, and what is it?! He can't have suddenly become rich in a few days. How are you going to handle this matter? My family will bow down to him if they find out Ellen was able to prepare such a lavish wedding. You even lost your chance to rent this place, Daniel!"Lily shouted emotionally. The bold makeup on h
Daniel's voice trembled as he spoke. His face paled. "What do you mean uncle?" "They just told me that they've fired me! I don't know who that bastard is, but he's very powerful and unforgiving!" Uncle Daniel's voice sounded so angry, chaotic, and frustrated. With widened eyes, Daniel stared at Ellen who was also staring at him with a smirk at the corner of her lips. "Asshole! This can't be. It's impossible for a loser like him... Damn it!" Daniel shouted so loudly that it startled Lily. His jaw hardened, his eyes filled with a flash of anger. Angrily, Daniel walked over to Ellen. His steps were firm and hurried. He quickly punched Ellen in the face, making everyone there scream in surprise. Sophie widened her eyes as she saw Ellen fall to the floor. "Daniel, what are you doing?!" She shouted and immediately pushed him away who was about to hit Ellen again. "Are you out of your mind? Why are you suddenly hitting Ellen, huh?" Ellen stood back up with Sophie's help. He wiped
After the wedding, Ellen took Sophie to the small apartment he lived in."Ellen," Sophie called.She walked up to him while Ellen was busy taking off his tie."Hm? What's wrong?"Seeing the troubled look on her face, Ellen quickly wiped her cheeks and asked again."What's wrong, Sophie? Don't you like it here in my small apartment? Isn't it enough for us to live in?"Sophie shook her head quickly."No, Ellen. I don't think it's small or unlivable. I like it. And it's more than enough.""But what made you put on this troubled face?"Ellen touched Sophie's cheek and kissed her forehead."Tell me everything you're thinking, Sophie. Whether it's bad or good, I want to hear it. And I'll make sure to sort things out.""I was just thinking about what happened at our wedding, Ellen."Ellen frowned in confusion."About what?"Sophie looked straight at Ellen."About David suddenly getting very angry and hitting you at our wedding. I don't know what made him act like that. Was there a problem be
As per Sophie's wish, Ellen took her to a beach not far from the city. They went during the weekend because Sophie didn't want to take any more time off since she had just gotten a job.Ellen drove the car. They were already halfway to the beach. Sophie was surprised that in the morning, Ellen had suddenly gotten ready in a luxury car that she had never seen before.When she asked whose car it was, Ellen replied that it was a friend's car. And HE borrowed it during their honeymoon."Is it still long?" Sophie asked. She was starting to feel sleepy from the long journey.Ellen glanced at Sophie with a sympathetic look."Almost there. After we get to the villa, we can take a rest before going out."Villa?" Sophie frowned."Yes, the villa. I've rented the villa that we'll be staying in during our honeymoon."Sophie immediately put on a surprised expression when she heard that."You rented a villa?!"She couldn't believe that Ellen had secretly rented a villa for their honeymoon."What's w
