"Mistress, you were the one who kidnapped me?"

Ethan was confused beyond doubts. He was looking at the girl with utter bewilderment.

He works for her and would have gone there the next morning. Why did she need to bring him here?

"Even if you wanted to meet me, you could have told those men. I would have come happily. Why was I dragged like an object here?" he asked in wonder but when he realized how rude he was, he bowed his head hurriedly.

"I mean.. I thought i was getting kidnapped and the man took my ring.'' This time his voice was more polite as he noticed that his mistress was not alone but there was a man sitting beside her who was staring at him as if he was a piece of meat.

Ethan did not like the piercing gaze of the man who was not even blinking. He could feel the intense pressure coming through it.

"Ethan, I have told you that I know your family and I can help you in meeting them if you behave well, right?" yes! She had said so. But he never took it seriously since he did not have any interest in meeting the family who had thrown him out when he was barely a few days old to fend for himself.

If not for his strong will to survive, he would have died long ago.

The orphanage he was in was dependent on donations and those kids who did not bring any are often beaten and bullied and he was one of them.

He had heard names and was beaten every night without any reason and was often starved.

So, he ran away from there only to know that, he at least had a roof.

Now he was lost on the streets and there were many like him who beat him if he even found a stale bread in the dustbin and snatched it from him.

Thanks to his fair skin and looks, he could not even beg since they never believed that he was poor but was often asked to return to his home and not be delinquent.

Since then he has hated words like home and family. Only he knew how he survived on rotten food when his family must be having a warm meal somewhere.

He did not want to have anything with them since he didn't believe that they would care for him either.

He had only acted like he cared for his family because this odd woman was only ready to give him a job because she knew his family.

Since the first time they were coming of his use, he accepted the offer with open arms.

Since he was not educated, he was only given work of cleaning or in stables but this lady was kind enough to give him the post of head butler and was asked to take care of her home where she was never present.

There was only one maid except him who was kind too.

So, they both take care of the house and live there like it belonged to them except sleeping in smaller rooms, they use every part of the house.

Like having their meals in the garden and chatting at night on the terrace once their work was done.

Finally he felt like he was happy for the first time in his long and dragging life.

The salary she paid was good enough for eating well and he even had extra to try his luck in the gambling house. Now he did not need to worry about starving or getting beaten.

And he was one of the luckiest who was not sold as a slave.

What else he could ever ask from life! Finally it was getting perfect for him, yet this woman started talking about his family again.

He did not want to know that alright! He wanted to go and have dinner with Bella.

But he could not irritate her. What if she decided to throw him away.

"Yes, I remember that well mistress. But you do not need to worry about me that much. I am already indebted to you.

How could a mere commoner like me ask you to look for his family.

You are a kind woman but I did not want to take your benefit.

I am happy to spend my whole life serving you only!" he bowed his head and replied with a tone full of gratitude.

While his heart had already started praying to not look for his family. He hated his family and did not want to hear about them.

"I know! But your family contacted me today. Then I want to meet you and take you back!"

"Thump!" the words he was afraid of the most turned into a bitter truth.

He must have known. His fate could not see him happy! He was bound to lose no matter what he did!" a bitter look filled his face too and he could not hide the hurt and disappointment in his eyes.

He wanted to deny it but he had no reason to do so.

Looking at his face that was shouting I did not want to go, Adele turned to look at Andrew who was still staring at the man.

The man who would take the place of Eli if the truth would come out.

Since he did not want to go then why not let him work like he was and give him more money to spend his life leisurely in exchange of never coming back and stealing Eli's happiness.

It felt like he was having a heavy stone on his chest and no matter what he would do, he would lose it.

Suddenly the shattered face of Eli cam in front of his eyes and his face hardened

"If you do not want to go back. I can tell your family your decision. After all, it is your life. In fact, I can even demand compensation for their mistakes if you promise that you would never look for them again!"
