Perfect Revenge : CEO's Lovely Mistress

Chapter 21: Ella’s job

“You still want to be my woman? Haven’t you suffered enough?”

This woman was truly not afraid of death.

Christian looked at Ella and raised his hand back to her neck. But this time, the touch was very gentle. He caressed her bruised neck and regretted his cruelty to this woman.

He almost lost his mind when he imagined the woman in front of him sleeping with another man.

“Suffered enough?” Ella laughed in a low voice as if she had just heard a joke. “Christian I have lived in suffering all this time.”

Ella still remembered very well everything that happened in the mental hospital.

She had to struggle and swallow all the suffering to survive in such a place. She had to try not to lose her mind along the way.

.....

Five years when her life was much worse than death had passed.

Now, what did she have to be afraid of?

All she was afraid of was not having the chance to take revenge.

The determination in Ella’s eyes seemed to drown Christian. He picked up Ella from the floor and gently laid her down on the sofa. “We’ll see what you’re capable of later.”

The light in the room flickered dimly. However, the darkness of the room could not contain the passion between the two of them.

Maybe because it’s been a few days since Ella had been missing without a trace nor a word, Christian had become so cruel today.

Several times Ella couldn’t hold herself back and wanted to ask Christian for forgiveness. But when she thought about the man’s words earlier, she finally could only swallow the words back.

The only thing Ella could use to achieve her wish was with her body. She must achieve her goal and make the Maheswara Family regret what they did to her!

Time flew as they spent it making love, neither lost count of how many times they did it. Finally, Christian stopped.

Ella wanted to maintain her confidence and tell Christian that they were the perfect match. But before she could open her mouth, she had fallen asleep exhausted.

Her body sank into the sofa, sweat dripping down her face. However, even in her sleep, her forehead was still wrinkled as if her life couldn’t be calm.

Christian’s gaze fell on Ella’s face and then moved to her neck.

The bruises on her neck were getting clearer.

Subconsciously, Christian frowned. He wanted to put his clothes back on and look for ointment for the bruises on Ella’s neck, but her hand gripped his tightly. The moment he wanted to let go, the wrinkles on Ella’s forehead would deepen.

Looking at Ella’s face, Christian felt a strange feeling. A feeling he had never felt before.

Finally, he put his clothes back on without letting go of his grip on Ella and covered her body with his clothes. After that, he called the bar manager and asked him to buy some medicine.

When the manager knocked on the door and entered, he saw Christian holding Ella in his arms. There was a trace of worry in his eyes that he didn’t manage to cover up perfectly.

This sight... stunned the manager.

Christian had come to his bar several times and he pretty much knew what the man usually did. But this was the first time he’d seen Christian show such an expression.

It was true what he thought before, Ella was different in Christian’s eyes.

When the manager’s eyes turned to Ella who was in Christian’s arms, Christian immediately glared at him with a cold look. “Did you forget the rules I gave you?”

“Not!”

The manager felt cold sweat dripping from fear. He immediately gave the ointment Christian asked for and left the place.

After the manager left, Christian immediately looked at the ointment he got and read all the instructions on the package. After confirming that the ointment was meant for bruises, he immediately opened it and applied it to the bruises on Ella’s neck.

He knew that the bruises must be painful so he tried to apply it as gently as possible.

The cold effect of the ointment made Ella groan. Christian immediately stopped the movement of his hands. When he realized that Ella was showing no signs of waking up from her sleep, he continued.

After treating the bruises on Ella’s neck, Christian’s heart felt calmer.

Even so, regret still couldn’t disappear from his heart.

Suddenly, he felt annoyed and threw the ointment he was holding.

Why should he be gentle with this unfaithful woman?

Ella made it look as if she was trying hard to win his heart and continued to approach him, but in reality, she was looking for another man in a place like this.

At the thought of this, the man felt himself falling into the flames of anger. He withdrew his hand which was held by Ella, without caring whether the woman would wake up or not.

He stood up and called the bar’s manager one more time.

The manager didn’t know what Christian wanted. But he knew very well that he couldn’t fight Christian. So he rushed upstairs and into Christian’s room.

“Sir, what’s wrong?” He said, bowing respectfully.

“How long has this woman worked here?” Christian asked calmly, glancing at Ella.

“Four days,” the manager answered honestly.

The expression on Christian’s face looked even more unsightly. That would mean... Ella worked at this place the same day she left the hotel?

Was it because Christian rejected her that she was looking for another ‘home’?

“Has she been with a lot of men?”

“That...” the bar manager didn’t know what to say.

Ella worked at this place. How could she not have sex with a lot of men?

As he considered his answer, he asked Christian to make sure, “Pardon me but can you be more specific with the question?”

However, it seemed that the question was a big mistake because suddenly the room felt tense.

The bar manager immediately said, “Being a waitress, of course she will be in contact with many people. But Ella always keeps herself clean. She never agrees to requests that exceed her limits during her work. You know yourself that Ella’s beauty can make many men desire her, but...”

“Did I ask you to explain that much?” Although his mouth was sharp, the expression on Christian’s face looked much calmer than before.

If Christian found out that Ella was with another man, he would never forgive her.

But in reality, Ella was really working in this place just to make a living.

“What is she doing here then?”

As time went on, the manager trembled more and more. He answered in a low voice, “She takes and delivers orders, pours wine for guests and so on. It’s not a tough job.”

“Alright then.”

Christian nodded and took off his coat. He slung the coat over Ella’s body before he carried her and walked out of the room.

The manager looked so surprised that his chin almost fell from his jaw.

Never once did Christian bring a woman home from this bar. If he’s being honest, Christian was disgusted by the dirty women who worked in this place.

Even though he wasn’t in the room and only entered when Christian called out to him, how could he not understand what was going on inside?

Actually, why was Christian asking all this? What was the relationship between the two of them?

The manager did not understand it and did not intend to question it again. He followed Christian out of the room.

...

When she woke up from her sleep, Ella saw a crystal chandelier glowing beautifully above her head.

She was at the hotel.

When she realized this, she immediately got up in a hurry.

Wasn’t she at the bar yesterday? After that, Christian asked her to come into his room and then...

She thought hard and patted her own cheek, as if to confirm if this was a dream or reality.

Christian promised to make her his woman!
