Chapter 173
173 One of My Toys
“Isabella, I think I was too good to you!” Christian said as he carried Ella to the window.
Christian opened his window and led Ella to the spacious balcony.
Not stopping there, Christian continued walking all the way to the end of the balcony.
At night, the wind blew quite hard. The wind was so refreshing, helping those who’re tired after a long day to relax their body and mind.
But not for Ella this time.
Ella didn’t have time to feel the night breeze, or enjoy the beautiful evening scenery on Christian’s balcony.
Right now, her life was in danger.
She looked at the man sitting at the end of the balcony holding her. Ella’s eyes now looked slightly wide, with a panic that she didn’t try to hide at all.
Meanwhile, Christian didn’t even try to hide the anger that was clearly showing in his eyes.
.....
Damn it!
‘That woman’ was a taboo subject for Christian, but Ella dared to mention that woman, not once but twice! Don’t blame the man for acting this way then!
This woman didn’t understand the rules that everyone in this town knew. Christian wouldn’t let anyone who mentioned ‘that woman’ live in peace.
And now, Christian would make Ella remember that this kind of discussion was a taboo subject that shouldn’t be mentioned at all.
“Christian...”
Was this man really going to throw her off this height?
Ella looked at the green grass beneath her. Under the yellow light of the garden lights, the grass looked as bright as day.
But sadly, the garden didn’t look as beautiful now as it looked like it was going to be her grave.
Cold sweat started dripping down her back.
“Isabella, you really are brave, aren’t you,” Christian’s words made Ella shake her head immediately.
She didn’t dare to reply, Ella was also afraid to die. Was Christian so blind that he couldn’t see her fear? Her body was shaking so badly. Was the man so numb that he couldn’t feel it?
You psychopath!
This was not the time to curse Christian. Now she must seek help!
Who could save her now?
As if he could hear the screams in Ella’s heart, Christian’s lips twitched, forming a sinister smile. “No one will be able to save you.”
Right now, Nathan was reading a fairy tale book in his room, getting ready for bed.
The butler was also busy with his work. Other maids wouldn’t dare go up to the second floor without Christian’s permission so no one would know about the current situation.
To his annoyance, even in this situation, Ella did not beg him for mercy. If Ella apologized to him, perhaps he would show her some pity.
Unfortunately, Ella’s stubbornness, coupled with her bad understanding of Christian, made Ella unwilling to admit her weakness.
Not a single word came out of her lips.
Christian frowned and continued to look at Ella’s face.
This woman was so beautiful. No matter what her expression was, Ella was simply too beautiful. He had seen so many beautiful women in this world, but none of them were like Ella.
That’s why Christian let Ella stay by his side, even when she just wanted to take advantage of him. Christian wanted to keep their relationship this way for quite a while.
In his heart, Christian had made up his mind.
But what Ella did this time was unforgivable. After all, there are still so many beautiful women. It didn’t matter if he dumped this one woman.
Christian grabbed Ella’s wrist and pushed her out onto the balcony with his other hand.
Ella lost her balance. Inwardly, she screamed loudly, but the hardness of her heart kept her mouth tightly shut.
Instinctively, her hands immediately tried to hold Christian’s hand and gripped tight on it.
But she was powerless.
Her heart seemed to jump, wanting to get out of her body.
Only God knows how scared she is right now!
Her gaze slowly rose, sweeping over her hands, until they landed on Christian’s perfect face.
The light from the room shone on the man’s back so that his face was dark with shadows. Ella couldn’t see his current expression or the look in his eyes.
Ella didn’t know if Christian was angry or worried about her right now. Or maybe Christian just didn’t care about her.
Ella averted her gaze and saw the current height.
Her heart was beating faster and faster.
She couldn’t let herself die.
It didn’t matter if she just broke her leg. What if her face was damaged? How could Christian want her again if her face was ruined?
Christian would not allow any flaw in anything he owned, including his woman or his mistress.
At the time of the incident at the hotel, she and Christian weren’t very close, but Christian didn’t let her fall.
Now her relationship with Christian was much closer than before. He wouldn’t let her fall, would he?
She had a special place in Christian’s heart, right?
“Christian, are you sure you won’t regret it?”
Ella bit her lip stubbornly. She could only risk her life now.
Sitting and waiting for death was the nature of the weak. She would not allow herself to appear weak, in front of anyone!
Christian’s face looked grim in the shadow of his own body.
He also felt reluctant to let go of Ella. But the woman had talked about something she shouldn’t talk about. How could Christian just forgive her?
He wanted this woman dead.
Unknowingly, his hand that was holding Ella loosened slightly.
Ella trembled at that. Was she really going to die like this?
“Christian, tell me, are you sure you won’t regret it?” Ella asked again.
Even though her hands were now drenched in sweat, she still tried to be brave.
This was a situation where she was forced to stand up for herself. Only she alone could save herself.
Christian looked deeply into Ella’s face. The determination that radiated from the woman’s eyes made it hard to ignore her.
Slowly, his eyebrows rose. What did this woman’s real face look like?
But sadly, before he could find out what the real Ella was like, their game would be over.
“I wanted to warn you that we already signed the agreement.” Ella forced herself to remain calm.
Christian remained silent even though Ella tried to talk to him.
“So... Are you sure you won’t regret...”
“Isabella.” Christian flashed his cruel smile. “Don’t you understand when this agreement will end and who will hold the power? Everything is under my control,” Christian said in a low voice.
His voice sounded so scary.
“You... You are just one of my toys.”
