Ella tried to scream, but nothing came out of her mouth. Her mouth is also covered with a piece of duct tape.
'Where am I?' She thought. She couldn't see anything, she was blindfolded, her hands were tied, and she couldn't speak.
What the hell is going on?
Suddenly, Ella heard a certain woman's laughter. She froze and tried to look around her.
She listened carefully, the laughter getting closer and closer.
'Perhaps, someone can help me.' She hopes.
As Ella was about to make a noise to attract the attention of the people outside, the woman suddenly spoke.
Ella frowned, this woman's voice sounded familiar. Is that Maria? Ella listened carefully. Moments later, she heard a man's voice, it was Jack.
Ella's heart beat fast. She recalls the man who had tried to sexually harass her in the toilet before, who had fired a gun at her but David took a bullet for her. Ella thought David was dead, but luckily, he was still alive.
She kept quiet and listened to Maria and Jack's conversation.
Every word Maria said gave Ella a chill. Every word she said made Ella's face pale. She heard everything Maria said to the man.
"Why are you calling David? He can locate us via GPS and bring in the police."
"We have hostages in our hands, so we don't have to be afraid. If David comes here and brings the police, I'll shoot her right in front of him, to give him a taste of suffering." It hurts to see the person he loves die in front of him. It's very exciting." Maria laughed heartily and Ella felt a chill when she heard those words.
She can't have David's love, and Ella can't have David's love either. She is beautiful, rich, and talented but in the end, she is hated by everyone, she doesn't get what she wants.
Maria had seen their wedding photos on the internet. They smiled at each other and were happy. Ella became David's real wife. At the thought of this, her whole body trembled.
Intense jealousy caused Maria to lose her mind. She wished she could tear off Ella's smiling face.
The door opened. Ella tried to sit up. Maria and Jack entered the dark room. Ella panicked, backing up against the wall.
Maria saw the wedding dress Ella was wearing, and her anger flared up even more.
Maria squatted in front of Ella, she removed the black cloth over Ella's eyes. Ella looked at Maria and Jack, her face full of fear.
Maria rolled her eyes. "Ella, you have to die here. You took a lot of things from me, I won't let you live. Wait for David to come here, I will kill you in front of him. How will he react when he looks at you? his wife died in front of him?" She laughed loudly.
Ella felt like someone splashed her with cold water. She never expected that Maria would kill her.
She knew Maria hated her, but she didn't expect that Maria would go so far as to want her dead.
Ella remained calm even though she was very scared. "You're crazy. If you kill me, you'll go to jail."
Maria continued to laugh. "I don't care. I don't want to see you happy. If I don't have David, you won't either."
"Maria, you stop. David will come to save me. And the police will come too." Ella believes that David will find the place where she is tied.
Maria laughed out loud, talking with a frenzied expression. "I'm dying for them to come to see you in pain." As soon as the words finished, Maria slapped Ella's right cheek, she continued to slap her left cheek. Ella's mouth was bleeding. Ella tried to endure the pain.
"How? You have my two handprints on your face, how can you hold a wedding ceremony with your injured face."
Fear flashed across Ella's face but she calmly spoke. "What did you kill me for? David didn't love you, why don't you just give up and find another man?"
"David and I have known each other for so many years, we grew up together. Who are you to seduce him? Without you, he would surely love me." Maria squeezed Ella's chin.
"Don't be paranoid, he didn't love you in the first place."
Maria rolled her eyes at the woman in the wedding dress. "Shut up. You took him out of my life."
"You don't understand what love is. If you keep going, you'll be the one to get hurt."
Maria strangled Ella, glaring at her. "I don't need you to teach me. How I love is my business. Happiness that I don't have, neither will you."
"Wrong. Everyone has the right to be happy, as long as you give up, happiness will come to you."
"You sound so simple. So do you agree to give up, leaving David to me?"
"David is not a commodity, if he chooses you, I will give up."
Maria laughed mockingly. "Don't be noble in front of me. You're just a scammer, you're his fake wife, and you don't deserve to be happy. By the way, I'll tell you all. I hired you. Jack kills you when you go on a business trip with David but luckily you are still alive Jack is also the one who gave you that scary gift, a bloodstained doll What happened at Terra Blues bar, is staged by me so that you and David would misunderstand each other. The media knew that the marriage contract between you and David was also arranged by me. I cooperated with Mrs. Emma to deliberately destroy your reputation. But guys fooled me, if I had known David hadn't become a vegetal after the accident Mrs. Emma wouldn't have hated me, and I would have been David's bride. I'm stupid." Maria held her head, scolding herself. Then she looked up, gritting her teeth. "Ella, after all, you are the cause of my suffering. Why did you appear in my life?"
There were footsteps in the distance. Maria looked out the window and saw David, Key, and a few policemen heading towards the abandoned house. She winked at Jack. Jack nodded in understanding and pulled Ella's hand.
"Stand up," Jack said and pulled her hand to her feet. Ella tried to resist but all in vain.
A few policemen stayed outside the house while David and Officer Vic walked inside. They stopped when Maria pointed the gun at Ella's head. Jack stood beside Ella, a gun in hand, ready to explode at any moment if the police approached. Because they are holding Ella a hostage in their hands, David and the police cannot act.
