All through the long drive back home, Ella’s mind kept replaying the series of events that took place at Xia’s office.

Although she successfully humiliated Xia and even got the chance to make her bleed, the enormous rage in her was far from sated.

Ella’s initial intention of confronting Leon was to ridicule his mistress before him and expel her from his life before punishing him. She never expected to stumble on the topic of a contract.

In Ella’s mind, all issues of contract affairs ended the day Leon professed his true love for her. She never dreamt that he would ever cheat on her, let alone formalize the relationship with another lady.

.....

It would have been better if he had just slept with Xia and moved on, rather than keep her as a contractual mistress.

Even though Ella saw and read through the contract, she found it difficult to understand the reason behind Leon’s motive.

The fact that he wasn’t drunk or under pressure when he signed the contract was too much of a betrayal to handle.

One horrifying question that kept tormenting Ella’s mind was Leon’s true intentions of wanting to keep Xia as a girlfriend.

“Was he planning on ending his marriage with me in the future?” Ella asked herself silently. “Did I piss him off so much with my pregnancy that he chose to hurt me this much?”

The more Ella evaluated the contract issues, the more her mind became consumed with acrimony.

At some point, she considered divorce as the only way out of her misery. Because living with Leon under the same roof was unimaginable.

However, the more she thought about a divorce settlement, the more Nana Esther’s voice kept echoing in her subconscious.

Silent tears rolled down her eyes as she remembered the promise that she made to Nana Esther. She knew breaking that promise would be impossible especially as Nana Esther was no more.

“If Nana Esther foresaw that Leon would cheat on me with another lady, why didn’t she tell me so that I could stop it before it happened?” Ella quizzed her thoughts in anger. “How does she expect me to forgive such a wicked deed.”

Ella was so lost and traumatized in her excruciating thoughts that she didn’t notice that her car had pulled over until John open the door for her to step out.

“Mrs. Treshvire, we are home” John announced calmly. He extended his hand politely toward Ella and helped her out of the car.

“Thank you, John,” Ella managed to smile between tears.

Not wanting John to see more of her flowing tears or feel sorry for her, she hastily walked away towards the house.

John on the other hand was sad by the tears in Ella’s eyes. He wished there was a way he could console her without getting in trouble with Leon. Seeing her quarrel with Leon broke his heart and he wish the beautiful couple would settle their difference soon.

Ella had barely gotten into the villa when Denise’s car sped into the premises.

Denise got out of her car and rushed towards the entrance of the villa while hastily answering John and some working house staff greeting.

“Sweetheart!” Denise opened up her arm for Ella when she entered the living room. “How did it go? Were you able to deal with that tramp?”

Ella nodded her head in reply as she quietly wept in Denise’s arms.

“Ella, you promised that you would stop crying.” Denise’s tone was both soothing and rebuking. “I told you earlier, Leon does not deserve your tears. What he deserves are multiple slaps to reconfigure his brain. I don’t want you hurting yourself or our precious baby.”

“H...he signed a contract with the b**ch, Denise. Leon not only s...sleep with her but he wanted to k...keep her for God knows h...how long.” Ella said between sobs.

“He did what?” Denise’s eyes flared in horror.

“I hate him so much, Denise! I just want to squeeze his balls and watch him groan in pain. How could he do this to me?” Ella pulled herself free from Denise’s embrace. Her eyes were red and her stares were vengeful. “How could he claim to love me but stab me in the heart? W...why didn’t I foresee that he would never change his promiscuous lifestyle?”

Although Denise wanted to do was express her thoughts and anger at what Ella just told her. However, she decided to hold back her tongue and console Ella. She knew exciting Ella’s mind would only worsen her current state.

“Ella, calm down! Stop crying! We would deal with that ungrateful husband of yours later. We would teach him a lesson he would never forget. I know you’re hurting but you need to stop crying.” Denise offered Ella her handkerchief and quickly went to get some water for her to drink.

“Here, drink this,” she offered Ella a glass of water. “It will help calm your nerves.”

Ella wiped her tears and blew her nose into the handkerchief before drinking the water.

“Thanks, mama bear,” she smiled amidst moistened eyes. “I don’t know what my life would be like if I didn’t have you. You’re the best friend anyone can ever ask for. Thanks for always being there for me.”

“You’re welcome, sweetie pie.” Denise beamed. “The only pain in my heart right now is the fact that I didn’t get the opportunity to lay my hands on that tramp. I would her plucked out those her disgusting pair of lustful eyes.”

Ella couldn’t help herself from grinning due to Denise’s animated gesture.

“Well, I didn’t disappoint in giving her a bitter taste of my fury.” Ella smiled as she picked up her clutch and brought out her phone and gun.

“Oh my goodness!” Denise’s eyes widened in excitement. “Did you shoot her?”

“I wanted to but Leon obstructed my part and the bullet only bruised her slightly on the thigh.” Ella’s forehead furrowed. “Nevertheless...” She went through her phone gallery and brought out some pictures which she proudly showed off to Denise. “...I dealt with her real good.”
