Perfect Revenge : CEO's Lovely Mistress

239 Leaving is the Best Choice

“Until when are you going to torture me like this?” Ella asked, clutching her sore shoulder.

“I? Torturing you?” Christian’s brows lifted slightly as he said this. He did not understand how his attitude towards Ella was considered as torture.

Never in his life had he cared so much for a woman. How could Ella think that he was torturing her!

“Isn’t that so? Don’t you really enjoy torturing me?” Ella looked at Christian with her cold gaze.

She could feel her heart aching.

It was this man in front of her who gave her warmth, again and again. But it was also this man who drove her crazy. Ella knew that she was being treated like this because she was not the woman Christian loved.

Christian would not treat the woman he loved in this way.

Christian looked at Ella’s face and then his gaze fell on her neck. He felt very depressed.

He was really mad at Ella when he found out that Ella had met Liam and Haikal, but he was also mad at himself for making Ella like this.

.....

He reached out his hand to touch the bruise on Ella’s neck and said in a choked voice, “Does it hurt?”

“Stop. Stop torturing me and a second later be nice to me. I’m not a woman who likes to be treated like this,” Ella looked at Christian with a surprised look.

How could this man before her be so cruel and so warm at the same time? She knew that the warmth that Christian was showing was just a delusion.

At first, she thought that after living with Christian for so long, the man would at least care a little about her. But what did she get now?

She felt ridiculous.

It was Christian himself who hurt her. Not her family, not the people she despised, but the man she trusted.

“Thank you for not taking my life right then and there. I don’t want to have any relationship with you anymore. I’ve decided I’ll go today. I also hope that you don’t interfere with my life anymore so that we can both live in peace.”

Ella feels that if she stays with Christian, she will die of cruelty soon. It’s been the second time Christian has strangled her like this, but she’s still managed to survive.

Maybe she will die next time. Who knows.

She didn’t want to die young. She did not want her death to appear in the news. How ridiculous her life would be if that happened.

Previously, Ella thought that by being by Christian’s side, she could prevent Christian from making Liam’s life difficult. But now Ella realized that all of that was pointless.

There’s no point in being next to Christian.

As long as she is in touch with Christian and is still friends with Liam, Christian will never let Liam go.

Leaving here therefore is the best choice.

“I won’t let you go,” Christian’s voice grows cold.

Why did he have to talk nonsense with this woman? As long as he wanted to, this woman wouldn’t be able to escape from him, no matter what.

“Didn’t you say I tortured you? Then I will torture you!” Christian held Ella’s chin and said viciously. “I guess I’ve been too good to you all this time.”

Ella could feel her heart jump. There was fear in her eyes.

But a second later, Christian has tossed her on the bed.

Christian lowers his head slightly to look at Ella then his cold voice is heard.

“Get some bodyguards to keep an eye on her. If she disappears, you will know the consequences for yourself,” those words made Ella flung herself onto the bed.

Is she a prisoner now?

Not long after, the butler came over with food for Ella. He took a deep breath and said, “Miss, you know how he’s all this time. Why are you still fighting him?”

Ella raised her head, her eyes vacant as she looked at the butler. “He will kill me.”

“Master would never do that. He’s just emotional,” the butler hurried to explain, even though his explanation didn’t help at all.

The butler wasn’t there and didn’t know what was going on in the living room.

“This is the second time.” Ella smiled bitterly. Sadness radiated from her beautiful face.

She was tired. This was enough for her.

“When can I go?”

“Miss, he is not letting you go,” the butler said helplessly. He had seen his master just now and his master gave an ultimatum so that Ella would not go anywhere.

The butler felt that today’s youth love was really complicated.

“I can see that you two have feelings for each other. As long as you are willing to put your egos down to communicate with each other and...”

“My relationship with Christian is just a relationship based on profit. I got what I wanted and he got what he wanted. But now when I want to go, he won’t let me.”

Ella interrupted the butler’s words. Then, when she saw the butler, her brows furrowed slightly. “Come out, I want to be alone.”

Seeing the people in this house would make her think of Christian instead.

The door to the room then closed slowly.

Ella looked at the room around her and realized that this room would be her new prison.

Prison... The word made her feel cramped.

She didn’t feel this way when she was in a mental hospital. But her defenses seemed to be collapsing here.

Ella didn’t eat the food the butler put on the table at all. In the evening, a waiter came in to clean up the food. But when he saw that it was still full, he rushed out.

Ella lay on the bed, not knowing what to do. She just spent her time in her new prison.

Not long after, a sound was heard from the door, followed by the sound of a man’s footsteps.

Ella recognized the sound of those footsteps after spending time with them.

Christian looks at Ella who is lying on the bed. His brow furrowed as he said, “Eat.” He purposely made his voice sound a little softer.

Unfortunately, Ella didn’t move at all. She ignores Christian even though he breathes the same air as her.

Ella’s attitude makes Christian feel very angry. He had relented and took the initiative to invite Ella to speak first. What else could Ella want from him?

Did Ella want him to kneel down and beg for forgiveness?

“Ella...” Christian said patiently. “I told you to eat. Didn’t you hear me?”

Even so, Ella still remained in her previous posture, not moving an inch.
