Perfect Revenge : CEO's Lovely Mistress

55 First Love

“It’s okay. What’s important is that you’re not dead yet.”

The fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree. Nathan and Christian’s speech was exactly the same. However, Ella imagined, if Christian had said it, he would have said it in a sarcastic tone.

Meanwhile, Nathan’s tone was much more innocent.

“T-thanks,” Ella replied, wanting to end the conversation.

But as soon as she turned to the other side, she heard Nathan’s voice again. “Hey, bad woman! You must have intentionally dropped yourself into the pool, right!”

“Huh? What?”

Nathan frowned and looked at Ella suspiciously. He couldn’t believe this woman.

Ella looked at Nathan and said with an annoyed look, “Only a fool would think I deliberately dropped myself into the pool!”

Nathan thought for a moment and then understood what Ella meant. That’s the same as calling him stupid!

.....

That sentence annoyed Nathan. “Hey, bad woman. Even when you’re sick, you’re still evil!”

He turned and looked at his father, as if asking someone else for help. “Dad, look how mean this woman is.”‘

“I know...” Christian replied with a smile.

Those two words made Ella feel suffocating. All of this happened because of Christian. If the man hadn’t opened the door for Nathan, Nathan wouldn’t have been able to enter!

Ella curled up in the blankets and didn’t want to talk anymore. It’s better if she stayed silent and pretended to pass out.

However, since she was too tired, she unconsciously fell asleep.

Until the day turned into evening, Ella finally woke up in a daze. Her head buzzed a little. She had suddenly fallen asleep twice today, first in the car and second in Christian’s bed.

When she turned to her side, there was already a new dress prepared for her on the bed. It must have been Jason who had prepared it because Christian had ruined her clothes.

Ella got to her feet and put on the dress, not knowing where Christian got her size, but the dress fitted her perfectly. When she finished, she felt her stomach growl. Ella immediately washed her face, wanting to go out and eat.

When she opened the bedroom’s door, she saw Christian sitting in front of his computer. Christian seemed so immersed in his work that he didn’t even notice Ella’s arrival. Wrinkles appeared on his forehead as his hands rapidly typed over the keyboard.

Behind him was a large window with a magnificent view of the entire city. From the window, sunlight entered the room, making it bright enough even though the lights were still off.

Ella leaned against the bedroom’s door while gazing at the sight with admiration. Everything in Christian’s life seemed so wonderful.

Previously, she had been stunned to see Christian’s house. Now, she was stunned again to see the man’s office.

Christian lifted his head from the computer and realized that Ella was lost in thought, looking out the window.

His lips immediately pursed in displeasure. “Are you thinking of your first love?”

“Hah?” The question made Ella flinch and wake up from her daydream.

Her first love? Did he mean Haikal?

By then, Christian had lost his motivation to read the documents and walked over to Ella instead. He grabbed her wrist and dragged her towards the window.

“What’s wrong with you?” Ella looked at the man in front of her in astonishment.

What’s wrong now? She only saw the city outside. Did this sight upset Christian?

“Don’t tell me you didn’t know that the building over there belonged to the Adisurya Group,” Christian sayed with anger shining in his eyes.

Adisurya Group.... Haikal’s family.

Seeing how Ella looked at the building with a dreamy gaze, that means Ella still cares about her first love, right? Ella said she wanted revenge, but is she sure about it?”

Ella blinked innocently. She really didn’t know...

Five years was quite a long time. She spent those days in a mental hospital, and the city slowly changed without her knowing.

“Christian,” Ella looked at Christian with a sneer. “I also wish I had the generosity to forgive those who brought me down to the bottom of hell. But sadly, I don’t have it. I can not do it.”

Haikal, Indri and Merry...

They had made Ella taste the bitterness of hell. They owed her not only those five years, but all the suffering she had endured.

Christian immediately regained his composure at Ella’s words.

Why did she hesitate? How could being with Haikal be better than staying beside him? He could give everything Haikal gave to Ella. Even what Haikal couldn’t give her, Christian could give it.

Ella noticed the change in the mood of the man beside her.

“Christian, did you just show me your concern?” Ella raised her arms to wrap Christian’s waist, pressing her face against his chest.

She heard Christian’s steady and strong heartbeat, also the smell of cologne from Christian’s body.

Christian hugged her back and placed a light bite on Ella’s ear.

“How was Haikal when he was with you?”

The sudden question left Ella silent for a moment, wondering how she should answer it.

She thought for a moment and then answered, “Just like couples in general. We’re hanging out, going to the mall, spending time together...”

At that time, Ella was still too innocent. She thought she would spend her whole life with Haikal, living happily ever after.

But it seemed her life had started to decline since that day...

Her dream was too high and the day her dream was shattered made her feel like she was being stoned to death.

“Isn’t there anything else?” Christian looked interested.

“No. That’s all.”

Ella shakes her head with a straight face and then leans back against Christian’s chest. “Why do you always talk about unimportant things?”

Christian frowned and tried to come up with an excuse. “I’m just curious and want to know how to treat you.”

Ella’s face was gloomy. She closed her eyes and buried her face in Christian’s chest. He didn’t want to remember his past anymore.

At that moment, the door to the room suddenly opened. Nathan peeked inside. And after calling his father’s name, he saw Christian and Ella hugging each other.

“Old hag...! You lied to me again!”

Ella turned and smiled when she saw Nathan. “Your father is comforting me. He is very considerate of others.”

As she said that, Ella struggled to get out of the man’s grip. But Christian hugged her even tighter, as if he did it on purpose.

“Do you need to say that?”

Nathan snorted. Of course his father was the best. He felt very happy and proud when someone praised his father.

“Nathan...”

Suddenly, Ella called out Nathan’s name in a serious voice.

The expression on the boy’s face was equally serious.
