Ella was at a loss for words. How did she suddenly beco the third wheel in a relationship?
When she agreed to Eric’s request, she had no idea he already had a fiancée who had yet to appear!
"Great! Just great! Avery, you’ve really stepped up your ga. Now you’re even threatening with your father? But you’re wrong. Even if you brought in dozens of fathers, I still wouldn’t marry you!"
"You... Eric, don’t do this to . I really love you..." Avery’s face turned pale with fear, completely at a loss for what to do.
"I would never be interested in soone as foolish as you!"
Eric looked coldly at the crying Avery, and Ella was speechless for a mont.
This Eric, what a sharp tongue he has!
"You... Eric, you’re treating like this because of that shaless woman, aren’t you? You, thinking you can beco the young mistress of the Nelson family just by dating Eric? Dream on! He is mine, always has been, and I won’t let you succeed!"
"Get out!" Before Avery could finish, Eric suddenly shouted, and the guards outside quickly ran in.
Avery’s face was ashen. She and Eric had known each other since childhood, and it was the first ti she’d seen him so furious.
"Eric, you’ll regret this!" Avery ran off crying.
The onlookers outside were quickly dispersed by the guards. A waiter looked apologetically at Eric, "Sir, your clothes... perhaps we could dry-clean them for you?"
"I’m not so broke that I can’t afford dry cleaning!" Eric gave the waiter a cold look.
"I apologize, it was our mistake. If we had noticed sothing wrong with that young lady, we could have stopped her..."
"Leave!" Eric said coolly.
The waiter quickly retreated.
Ella frowned and patted his sleeve, "It’s all coffee stains. We should head back."
"I’ll take care of Avery. This engagent is just a clever trick by that old man!" A cold light flickered in Eric’s eyes, and a bloodthirsty smile tugged at his lips.
Ella paused. It seed like Eric emphasized "old man" with particular disdain, as if he really hated him.
"You certainly have a lot of romantic entanglents. We haven’t even officially started dating, and you already have a fiancée. I’m sohow being mistaken for the other woman!" Ella, frustrated, let go of his sleeve and grabbed her bag. "I’m going ho!"
Eric raised an eyebrow and suddenly grabbed Ella as she stood up to leave, pinning her forcefully against the wall.
Ella blushed, and before she could react, her head throbbed with a dull pain from the impact. The next mont, Eric’s lips crashed down on hers with a ravenous hunger.
Eric kissed her like a starving wolf, leaving Ella dizzy and breathless. She let out a small whimper, feeling her blood boil from Eric’s fervor.
Eric’s erection pressed against her, making Ella’s body go weak and her legs tremble!
This man was incredible, igniting her desire in an instant!
Just when Ella thought she couldn’t take it anymore, Eric finally released her, looking at her flushed face, her swollen lips from his kiss, and her dazed eyes.
He raised an eyebrow smugly, "How was that? Pretty good kisser, right?"
"Hmph, I bet you’ve practiced on countless won," Ella retorted, wiping her wet lips furiously.
"Ella! Don’t provoke into wanting you even more!" Eric’s face darkened, his voice chilling.
Ella glanced at the man before her, who seed like a demon lord, and quickly lowered her head, feeling a surge of panic.
Eric, this guy, had promised not to touch her, but now he was doing exactly that!
Taking a deep breath, he tried to suppress all his urges. The coffee-soaked clothes made him extrely uncomfortable. Eric lifted Ella’s chin, "Let’s leave it at that. I hope next ti we et, things will be even more intense!"
Eric gave a seductive smile, then lazily walked out of the room.
Ella’s heart was pounding as she collapsed weakly onto the chair. Today had been full of surprises—first Emily, then Avery. Dear God, how many enemies was she going to make?
Avery, a spoiled heiress, might not be very smart, but she ca from a powerful family and was a formidable foe.
Ella felt a headache coming on. It was too late to regret now; Eric would never let her back out.
With her spirits low, Ella grabbed her bag and left the room. Her cheeks were still flushed, but her emotions had cald considerably.
The next morning, Ella was shocked to see Eric’s statent in the newspaper, announcing his break-up with Avery!
Their engagent had never been public, but with Eric’s announcent, Avery’s family was utterly humiliated.
However, a man like Eric would never fear the Allen Group.
Ella hadn’t expected Eric to follow through. When he said yesterday that he would break off the engagent, she thought he was just saying it. Her impression of Eric improved even more.
Chloe called, inviting Ella to go shopping.
After a morning of shopping, Ella’s feet were sore. Finally back ho, she received a call from Brianna just as she was about to enter the hall.
"Ella, where are you?"
"Mom, I’m almost ho!" Ella replied with a light laugh, her graceful figure moving quickly into the hall. "Mom, I’m back. What’s up?"
As she spoke, she hung up the phone.
But her smile froze as she heard beautiful piano music flowing through the living room. Ella’s gaze turned cold as she looked at the man playing the piano in the side room.
The man was dressed in white casual clothes, with soft, tousled hair that frad an incredibly handso face.
Though slightly less striking than Eric, he was still exceptionally good-looking among n.
Ella paused, withdrawing her stunned expression, her heart churning with an indescribable mix of disgust and hatred!
He was Brandon, Ella’s husband from her previous life!
It seed Brianna and Hannah couldn’t hold back anymore and brought soone in to control her?
Unfortunately for them, she was no longer the Ella of her past life!
Ella looked at Brianna, who was smiling at her. She quietly walked over to sit beside her stepmother, while Hannah gazed dreamily at the handso man playing the piano.
"Aren’t you curious who he is?" Brianna asked with a light laugh.
Ella nodded indifferently, "Mom, who is he?"
