"Ella said she would beat me every time she sees me...... That if she comes across me on the street, she will let other men......" Catherine was too distraught to finish her sentences. The sound of soft crying filled the alley.
Samuel's face fell. He was going to push Catherine away, however, upon seeing her so miserable and hurt, he helped her up, and sent her to the hospital.
It was midnight, although Ella had locked her bedroom, she was too afraid to sleep.
She tossed and turned in bed. Soon, she heard the sound of a car engine. Ella buried herself in the quilt.
It's ok, Samuel couldn't come in any way. Even he did, all she had done was beat up someone. Would Samuel beat her for that woman?
The bedroom doorknob squeaked as it turned. The piercing sound disturbed the peaceful night. Ella became nervous.
The knob turned several times more. However, the door didn't open. Then it became quiet outside. Ella was relieved. The very next minute, she heard the sound of the door being kicked. It was so loud that Ella sat up in her bed.
"Samuel..." He was...... kicking the door! How mad was he?
The noise got louder as Samuel tried harder. With each kick, Ella's heart beat wildly.
After five or six kicks, Samuel, who was burning with anger, broke the fancy wood door.
Suddenly, the bedroom lamp switched on. Ella closed her eyes from the harsh light.
When she opened her eyes, Samuel was standing right beside her.
The fury reflecting in Samuel's eyes scared Ella to death.
She flinched. She had only beaten someone. She couldn't understand why Samuel would be so mad.
Before she could figure it out, Ella felt her wrist being grabbed and her body being thrown to the floor.
"Whoops!" Her waist and bottom hurt from the impact. "Samuel, you are going to hit me, your wife, for an irrelevant woman?" If so, it would break her heart.
Before Samuel could even say a word or raise his hand, Ella was implying that he was committing domestic abuse.
"Ella, I couldn't imagine that you would be so bold!" Samuel squatted so that his eyes were at level with Ella's. He held her jaw tight and lifted her face, forcing her to look at him.
Ella had seen the icy look in Samuel's eyes many times recently. Was she imagining it or was he getting angry more frequently?
"She framed me, and gave me a hard time. Was it wrong to ask someone to hit her?" She didn't know kung-fu. If she did, she would beat Catherine herself.
Asked others to hit Catherine? "Liar! You are still lying to me!" Samuel's voice suddenly raised sharply, which made Ella tremble with fear.
If he hadn't been there to see Catherine's condition himself, he would have believed this cunning woman.
"Why is your voice so loud? What lie did I tell?" Ella glared at him with anger. Her jaw was hurting, but there was no way to shake off Samuel's grip.
Samuel sneered, "I was at the Dominator. I saw everything! Ella, I couldn't imagine that you could be so vicious. You dare ask someone to rape Catherine?" Samuel was grinding his teeth when saying the last words.
Rape Catherine? Ella was stunned.
Seeing the stunned Ella, Samuel had nothing left in his heart but hatred. No wonder she was an actress earlier. She had good acting skills!
