Ella found it relatively impossible to look at Leon without feeling sorry for him. Her emotions were conflicting and agonizing. A large fraction of her heart wanted to badly deal with Leon, but the other little softened fraction wanted to forgive him and hold him.
However, when these compassionate thoughts arose within Ella's heart, the face of Xia and the contract Leon signed with her crippled every bit of sympathy left in Ella.

"I do not want to ever see you or talk to you again. You are not welcome to partake in anything concerning me and I do not need your help going forward. I owe you no explanation for anything I choose to do with my life. You have no right to whom I choose as friends whether male or female."
"Babe, you can't do this! Please!" Leon's feet finally unglued themselves and he slowly moved to Ella.
