Just as Samuel made himself comfortable, Ella squirmed away from his embrace. Samuel moved closer, but Ella moved away again, almost to the edge of the bed. "Stop it! "Be a good girl!"
He warned. "Let go of me! If you can't keep your hands to yourself, then I won't sleep by your side."
Samuel turned her to face him, "You didn't seem to have a problem earlier on." He teased, as he proceeded to run his hands all over her body. In the darkness, Ella was almost lost in the depth of his eyes.
Ella shoved him and sat up from the bed, "Just stop Samuel!" She got out of bed and went for the door.
Ella was confused emotionally. This was a man that had publicly humiliated her by displaying affection towards another woman, on purpose. How could she let herself fall into his trap? "Ella, I dare you to walk a little further! There are surveillance cameras in the corridor! I'll make sure that they capture our intimacy if you continue to be so belligerent!" His booming voice filled the room.
Surveillance cameras? Why didn't she know about them? Ella thought that he might be lying her.
Regardless of his warning, Ella opened the door of the bedroom. But Samuel was so fast that he grabbed her wrist as soon as she stepped out.
"Samuel, stop it!" Pressed against the wall, Ella surveyed the corridor and saw a round surveillance camera at the corner. It must have been recording when he kissed her.
"Jerk, why did you kiss me below the surveillance camera?" Hands bound behind her, she couldn't move. But she lifted her foot to step hard on his.
With his eyes closed, Samuel lowered his head. Her attempts didn't make him budge. But he liked to tease his wife, it was a lot of fun.
"Oh, I also forgot to tell you. I have some important files in the company, so we also have surveillance cameras in the study..."
"Samuel, you bastard!" Her angry scream almost perforated his ears.
"Shut up! Our son is asleep. I warn you, if you wake him up... Let's just nurture our love for a minute." He was angry with Ella. But the quiet night was a perfect timing to nurture their relationship.
"What love Samuel?" Instead of answering, Samuel just glowered at her. Ella was becoming angry. She didn't like Samuel's controlling nature, and she wanted to take revenge for what he had done to her earlier on at the airport. She knew just what to say. "In France, I met a blonde man. You know, the French are always ebullient. He was so enthusiastic that we..." She didn't want to mention Sum so she came up with another lie.
In truth, the only man she met in France was Eason.
Ella watched the expression on Samuel's face change. Her defiance streak changed to worry. Had she gone too far this time? She thought.
With a ghastly pale face, Samuel tightened his grip on her hands and breathed slowly before, pulling Ella to the third floor.
At the stairway, Samuel called for Joy and asked her to take Jerry.
Then, he walked on with Ella.
"What are you doing, Samuel? Let go of me!" Ella was scared and couldn't help wondering if he was going to kill her.
Her pitiful voice echoed in the villa, "Samuel, if you kill me, no girl will ever love or marry a murderer..."
"Shut up!" Samuel glared back and reprimanded her. He continued to walk, and even though it was a slow pace, Ella still had to trot in order to catch up with him.
Why are we going to the third floor? Was he going to throw me off the roof? Oh, no... Ella shivered at the thought. She had indeed gone too far.
