“I won’t go through that torture again, Ellen. I learned my lessons already,” she said. Ellen escorted her out, Ellen vowed to himself that this will be the last time he will entertain this woman.Ellen is trying to come up with a plan to not let Rose and Sophie meet again when Rose pulls out a brown envelope and hands it to Ellen. Ellen eyed the envelope with irritation before glancing up at Rose.“What is this?” Ellen asked, his annoyance evident.“You should see it for yourself.” Rose replied calmly. Reluctantly, Ellen snatched the envelope and saw what’s inside it.His anger surged as he scanned the contents. “What’s the meaning of this? Do you really want me to kill you?!” Ellen's voice dripped with fury.Rose stepped back immediately when she felt Ellen’s aura surrounding him. Rose already had enough of torture from Vox, all the wounds on her back still hasn’t healed yet. Rose couldn’t take another slash and beating from Ellen and Vox again.“How dare you threaten me again with
“Sophie and I will attend Rose’s birthday and the foundation of her company.” Ellen said while Vox is still at his back following him and waiting for his orders.“Follow me at the study,” Ellen ordered. As soon as they reached Ellen’s office, they both sat down and planned for the event tonight.“This is the first event that Sophie will attend after recovering. I expect nothing will happen to her this time, Vox.” Ellen said firmly, Vox nodded at Ellen.“Understood Commander,” “However, why would you risk Ms. Sophie and your reputation by attending the Roses' party?” Vox asked. Ellen just sighs and remembers why he couldn’t say no to his wife.“Although we hold Rose by the neck, still this is dangerous for the madam.” Vox added. Ellen and Vox know that the culprit behind Sophie’s drugging incident is still on the loose. However, Ellen just couldn’t say no to his wife.Ellen clears his throat embarrassed to reply that it’s his wife's cuteness that led him to agree to this party.“That’
Ellen and Sophie arrived at the venue for Rose’s birthday party and the foundation event for her company. Sophie looked stunning in a red dress that accentuated her complexion and jewelry. The dress hugged her figure snugly from the top down to the hips, showcasing her elegant silhouette.On the other hand, Ellen wears a flawlessly fitted black tuxedo, exuding masculinity, power, and strength. The red cufflinks from Sophie adorned his attire, a subtle yet elegant touch. As they strolled through the venue, all eyes turned toward them, capturing the attention of everyone in their vicinity.Ellen couldn’t help but feel irritated to other men that looking at Sophie’s way as they scan her up and down. However, Sophie’s smile gave him a sense of pride seeing her by his side, radiation with confidence and elegance.Ellen kisses her cheeks and whispers to her, “My wife,” he called out to her. Sophie blushes as she gazes up to Ellen.“What is it, my husband?” She teases back. Ellen grabs her w
Sophie’s grandmother slap Ellen on the face. Ellen remained unfazed while her grandmother is fuming in anger. Ellen’s calm composure only seemed to fuel her anger further.Yet, instead of retaliating or showing any sign of distress, Ellen stood tall, his gaze steady and unwavering. He waited, allowing Sophie's grandmother to vent her frustration.“You—You bastard!” She yelled. The room filled with silence afterwards and the tension as Sophie’s grandmother glared at Ellen, her breathes ragged.“Are you done?” Ellen asked, unshaken about Sophie’s grandmother’s fury. “If you’re done causing ruckus inside my office you can go.”“You mannerless bastard! What do you even want from my granddaughter! Huh?!” Her words dripped with venom, each syllable laced with contempt.“You ruin Sophie’s reputation by marrying a bastard like you. She could’ve been wed to one of the wealthiest man in the world!”“I have a perfect plan for her—For her future! But you ruin it!”“You ruin everything!”She was o
Sophie is relaxing at the backyard reading a book about pregnancy when her phone rang, her brows furrowed when she saw the caller ID, its Lily. She stares at her phone for a moment wondering why her sister would call her. Lily never did call nor text Sophie these past few months but now she’s reaching out to her. What seems to be the problem, she thought. If its about the divorce again, Sophie will immediately end the call, the end. Sophie picks up the phone and the first thing that she heard is her stress voice. “Sophie, could you come down here at your front gate and let me in.” Lily asks. She places the book on the side table and stands up. Why would Lily go here? The last time they came here, Ellen was absolutely angry about them forcing Ellen to sign the papers for divorce. “Why are you here?” Sophie asks in a calm tone. She heads towards the front of the mansion when she saw Emilia talking to a guard. “You’re asking me that? Of course, I’m here to visit my sister!” Lily said
Ellen is working overtime, although there’s not much in his schedule for today, he’s busy with his plans about Marlene and the Alexiou family. He turns to see how much time has passed since he last glance to his wall clock. Ellen saw its already eight thirty. He leaned back trying to relieve his exhaustion. “I want to go home,” he uttered in the air. Ellen really wanted to go home, but the guilts eating him away and couldn’t even call Sophie. Ellen’s regretted agreeing to sleep with Marlene, he considers it cheating even though he knows damn too well that he’s being blackmailed. Ellen just so tired and frustrated and at some point, he didn’t care anymore and tried to finish off everyone that goes in his way. However, if he did that, Sophie wouldn’t be happy. He is doing this to make her happy and show to everyone that he can make his wife happy in the first place, so that plan is swiftly discarded. Ellen sighs, “Why won’t they leave us alone.” he said while clenching his jaw. “Sho
The chairman peered down at Rose, her eyes ablaze with a mixture of fury and disdain. Despite Rose's unwavering gaze, the chairman's expression remained cold and unforgiving. She had already made up her mind about Rose, and nothing she could say would change that.With a contemptuous curl of her lip, the chairman leaned forward, her voice dripping with disdain. "How dare a lowlife like you order me around. Let me remind you," the chairman paused for a sec.“You want my favour. I gave you the money to run your pathetic little business. What makes you think you can order me around?”“I didn’t give you that damn money to tell me this crap, fail, and come crawling back to me saying you can’t do it anymore?!” the chairman snapped, her tone sharp and unforgiving.“Mind you, you’re the one who proposed this plan, to seduce Ellen and separate the two in exchange I will give you money to fund your business.” She said in a low tone while pointing at Rose, gritting her teeth."So now you're sayi
Days had passed since Vox had undertaken Ellen's orders to follow Rose and Marlene’s move. Vox couldn’t sleep nor eat properly because the two women are busy these days. Grocery shopping, meetings and eating out. Vox couldn’t complain because he can’t defy his commanders’ orders, even though he’s tired and all, he just couldn’t let his commander down. Vox is loyal to the bone, if Ellen ordered him to offer his life, he would do it without a second thought. However, Vox is sick trying to look out for these women for days. Although Ellen has a lot of guys he can order around, it is Vox that he is trusted the most. So, Ellen entrusted this mission to him, however looking up for these crazy women is not Vox’s forte. “Crazy women,” he muttered under his breath as he drove downtown. “Where is she going now,” “I came down here to see Emilia, but I’m stuck here watching these women go crazy about our Commander.” Vox sighs while focusing on where Rose is headed. Rose is currently being wa
