"Isabella Maheswara. Has your pride fallen so low that you sell your body carelessly?"
Christian looked at the woman in front of him coldly. His eyes were filled with suspicion as he looked at Ella.
Although his lips were spewing cruel and insulting words, from the look in his eyes, Christian had no intention of demeaning her.
He seemed to be studying, wanting to find out what was on Ella's mind right now.
The ridicule made Ella's blood boil. But she just found out about the man in front of her.
Previously, she wouldn't have cared and would probably have insulted him like when he was about to hit her with his car.
At that time, Ella faced him very bravely.
However, that man was the only way out for Ella now.
Without that man's help, she would never be able to take revenge on her family. Without that man, she couldn't get what she wanted. Without that man, she wouldn't be able to find her child…
Ella didn't want to miss her hard-earned opportunity. It took a week for her to get this opportunity, the chance to be the woman who slept with Christian.
She didn't care if she had to sell herself. She didn't have any self-respect anymore. All of them had been snatched away and trampled by her family.
The only thing Ella was thinking right now was, she had to get this chance.
She had to take this opportunity to take back everything that had been taken from her, especially her baby…
Ella could only clench her fists, without replying to the words of the man in front of her. Now, all she thought about was how to make the man in front of her happy so that he would help her.
"I didn't expect to see you again," Ella put a smile on her lips. That smile looked charming.
It was a fake smile she used to cover her broken heart.
She tilted her head slightly and her black eyes looked at Christian with an innocent expression. That gaze could melt anyone, except the man in front of her.
The man seemed invulnerable, completely unaffected by her charms.
Whatever she did, she couldn't get his attention.
"I heard you were in a mental hospital before?"
Unlike her guess, Christian was very interested in Ella even though he didn't show it on the surface. On the outside, he looked like a very cold man, completely uninterested in the half-naked woman before him.
He stood on the edge of the bed looking at Ella who was still lying on the bed. The tall woman's body now looked very tiny in her super large bed. For some reason, he felt there was a little fragility behind that brave look she sported.
"Five years."
Ella and Christian looked at each other. Ella didn't care even if Christian knew she'd lived in a mental hospital before. She didn't care even if Christian thought of her as a crazy woman.
The only thing she needed right now was to attract the attention of the man in front of her.
Christian just chuckled when he heard Ella's bold answer. He did not expect the woman to answer him frankly, without the slightest cover-up.
Other women would try to cover it up, for the sake of not wanting to lose their pride.
But the woman before him was like an open book, only with a few pages missing from it.
The woman was so honest that she didn't try to cover it up. But there's an aura that made her so mysterious that it's hard for Christian to guess.
"Why?"
"Because I'm stupid."
After saying that, Ella suddenly took off the blanket that was wrapped around her body and slowly got up from the bed. She stood completely naked in front of Christian.
The woman's skin looked very white and smooth. Under the light of the room, her skin looked slightly pinkish, perhaps because she was embarrassed.
Christian was a normal man, a very healthy one, like any other man. When a charming woman stood naked in front of him, it was impossible not to react.
"Looks like you haven't changed even after five years. You're still as stupid as you used to be, daring to seduce me in this way. Get out."
Even though he reacted like a normal man, Christian didn't want to have sex with random women. Especially someone who surrendered easily.
What a cheap woman…
Seeing Christian turn around and about to leave, Ella felt very frustrated. She clenched her fists tightly and racked her brain.
She couldn't go! She couldn't obey Christian and get out of here! She couldn't pass up this opportunity!
If she missed this opportunity, it would be very difficult to get another one.
"Christian, you keep rejecting me, is it because you can't do it with women?"
Ella bit her lip and closed her eyes. The last resort she had was this.
Rumor had it that Christian had never been in a scandal with any woman, even after all these years. Everyone thought he was gay.
"What did you say?"
Hearing what Ella said, Christian, who had gone quite a distance, suddenly turned around. His eyes narrowed sinisterly and a dangerous and sharp gaze swept across Ella like a sharp knife.
"A lot of people say you don't like women. They said you like men. That's why you're not interested in me, right?"
Ella held her head high with a lazy smile on her face. She ignored her fast beating heart and tried to look calm.
After that, she got up from the bed and walked towards Christian step by step, tip toeing on her bare feet.
"Are you looking to die?"
A second later, Christian grabbed Ella's chin. The distance between the two of them disappeared in an instant. When Ella was near him, a sweet scent wafted into Christian's nostrils.
The scent was faint, not like the smell of perfume that was deliberately sprayed to seduce him. Nor the one Christian disliked.
The woman's scent was faint and it didn't come from soap or perfume. It was Ella's signature scent.
It was rare for Christian to find himself noticing a woman's scent.
"Then, give me a chance to die."
Ella narrowed her eyes and smiled like a sly fox. Her tiny hands boldly climbed up to Christian's neck as she brought her body closer to him.
