Chapter 24: Chapter Twenty-four

Ella couldn't react to what the older man has said. She wanted to scream at them so loud. Ella wanted to run away after the older man introduced himself to her, but she couldn't because Mikael was firmly holding her hand.

His name was Lemuel. He silently glared at Mikael; disgust was written all over his face. Mikael bowed his head and pulled his hand back to his side. Lemuel smiled and dragged Ella away in a room with five other men sitting comfortably in their seats.

"I want to go home, please. Let me go," Ella begged Lemuel. Lemuel's expression changed instantly. His smile vanished and is now replaced by anger.
