Chapter 154
154 His World Collapses
“Too bad, I will only disappoint you. I have no intention of letting go of the Maheswara Family.” Christian got up from his chair and walked over to the three women in front of him. “You guys have pissed me off so much today.”
Today, Christian was in a pretty good mood as he waited for Ella to cook for him. No matter how bad Ella’s cooking tasted, Christian appreciated every effort behind it.
But unfortunately, the day did not go smoothly.
Merry and Indri’s arrival made his mood immediately worsened. Plus, Ella just stood still and didn’t say anything to him.
Did she not want to explain all this?
Ella’s reaction made the anger in his heart heat up even more.
“Damn it!”
Merry and Indri’s faces turned pale as paper. Right now, neither of them dared to say a word, and they didn’t dare to irritate Christian even more.
After hearing Christian’s cursing, the two of them rushed out of the room. They no longer cared about saving their family from Christian’s wrath.
.....
What’s the point of making Ella suffer if they couldn’t save their lives in the end?
Ella looked doubtful for a moment, feeling that she too had a hand in making Christian feel angry. As soon as she was about to turn around, Christian grabbed her hand.
“Did I tell you to go?”
Ella gulped in fear. “Didn’t I also displease you? I’d better get out of your sight.”
It would be foolish for Ella not to get out of Christian’s presence now.
Maybe after leaving him alone for a while, Christian’s anger would subside on its own. Maybe, Christian would return to his good mood and treat her as usual after a while.
But all that was impossible now.
Ella thought that with the answer she’d just said, Christian would let her go and give her one last chance. However, after realizing how stupid her answer was, Ella wanted to bite her own tongue.
Did that mean that Christian trusted Merry and Indri’s words more than her?
It’s true that she lied to Christian, but she wouldn’t do it without reason. If Christian hadn’t been so overbearing, maybe she would have told him the truth.
Sadness appeared in Ella’s heart even if it was only for a moment.
“You called me earlier, what does that mean? From the start, you believed Merry’s words and wanted to test me, right?”
Christian looked at her grimly. “They weren’t in at the time.”
He was silent for a moment before he took a deep breath. “At first, I believed you. If it weren’t for that photo...”
The sentence took Ella by surprise. She didn’t expect that this man would...
Ella’s throat felt dry and she couldn’t say a single word.
Her gaze fell on the man in front of her. Her normally charming eyes now seemed to be filled with disbelief.
Christian said he believed her!
She thought, Christian only saw her as a cunning woman who used all kinds of ways to approach him for her own gain. Of course no one would believe such a woman.
But as it turned out...
“Ella.”
Christian moved closer to her. His face stopped in front of Ella’s in a fairly intimate posture, but what he said from his lips was cold and biting to the bone.
“I’m giving you one last chance.”
In the end, Christian still hoped that Ella didn’t have any kind of relationship with Liam.
Christian ignored the fact that Ella had already given birth to a child from an unknown man. What happened, happened.
But Christian would not accept it if Ella had a relationship with Liam now.
Ella’s back was pressed against the wall. Glancing over at Christian she said, “I’ve known Liam for a long time.”
Ella knew there was no point in covering it all up again. The more she lied, the worse the consequences would be.
That one sentence made the aura on Christian’s body grow colder. Ella cowered but continued her explanation anyway.
“Liam left ten years ago to study abroad and we are no longer in touch. Recently, we accidentally met. The photo Indri showed you was probably my photo with him from before.”
Ella tried to calm her heartbeat under the pressure from Christian. “He’s just obsessed with the past. We don’t have any relationship. And, I’m with you now. I would never...”
Before she could finish, Christian had his fingers wrapped around Ella’s neck. “How can I not realize your true face? How does it feel to play with two men?”
Christian’s eyes narrowed even more, his gaze getting colder.
“I didn’t...”
Ella had just said those two words, but the hand that was gripping her neck suddenly tightened even more.
She was almost out of breath.
By this time, Christian’s eyes were red as if they were covered with blood.
Liam had a good relationship with Ella. Then what about him? Where was his place in Ella’s heart?
Did that mean Christian was just a tool for her to get her revenge, while Liam was the man she loved?
Christian looked at Ella while frowning deeply.
Meanwhile, Ella was silent.
She didn’t fight back and just let Christian do anything to her.
She could feel her breath getting heavier and heavier.
Getting choked was enough to leave her out of breath. Why would she bother to explain to the man in front of her when she wouldn’t be heard?
Instead of wasting her energy, she decided to shut up and give up.
Ella closed her eyes and decided to put her life on the line...
If Christian had even the slightest feeling for her, he would have stopped. Ella knew that Christian was a cruel man. The man didn’t know love and nor understand feelings.
Of course he didn’t know how to treat women either.
Ella risked herself, hoping that Christian would pity her a little.
But if Christian really didn’t care about her, Ella was ready to endure it all, and accept all the torture from that man.
As soon as Ella closed her eyes, she completely passed out from lack of oxygen.
Her body felt weak, without the slightest energy and her brain could no longer think.
At the same time, Christian let go of his hand. He saw the woman who had fallen and was lying on the floor with a prickling feeling in his heart.
For the first time, Christian felt his world collapsed on him.
He didn’t understand this feeling, he didn’t understand what it all meant.
Why did his heart hurt so much?
Wouldn’t everything be better if this woman wasn’t in this world?
Wouldn’t everything be better if he got rid of this woman like he usually did with everyone who annoyed him?
But why did seeing this woman close her eyes and droop limply made his heart helpless?
Why was his heart beating so fast and his hands breaking out in cold sweat when he imagined that this woman was no longer in his life?
Without a second thought, Christian immediately picked up Ella from the floor and went downstairs in a panic.
