It was time for ballroom dancing. Ella was reluctant to dance but everyone else went to the dance floor.
But she gave in, and Eden and Ella joined the rest on the dance floor.
Unaware of the time, Ella heard a couple talking in low and hushed voices. Immediately, she recognized who they were.
"Let's go back to the old house tomorrow. It's my Mum's birthday."
"Sure." The woman replied shrewdly.
Switching places with Eden, Ella used all her strength and stepped on Catherine. Catherine yelped in pain.
Then Ella switched back. Eden noticed what Ella had done but kept quiet. She had stepped on Catherine's feet with her 7 cm high-heeled shoes.
"Oh, my god, you are such a bitch." Samuel whispered to Ella.
Such a scene would be proof enough that they had had an affair.
Samuel wanted to switch dance partners when he saw that Catherine wasn't able to dance anymore.
To her surprise, Samuel stood before Ella.
No-one noticed their interaction because of the dim light.
Samuel pulled Ella into his arms involuntarily and warned her, "Don't you dare do anything to hurt her!"
His breath washed over Ella's ear, making her itch.
There was something about the way he was whispering in her ear that made Ella lose her mind for a moment.
Samuel felt the same way. If they had not been here, he would have had sex with her to release his anger.
Ella raised her lips, put her hands around his neck and clung tightly to him.
To her surprise, she felt something stir inside her.
With a blush creeping up her face, she stepped back. She had to shake off the feeling and remember what he had done to her.
Fine! Ella raised her head, and tiptoed, bringing her mouth close to his ear, "No, I will torture her and let her make you a cuckold. There's nothing you can do about it. I will make you a cuckolded professional!"
A cuckolded professional?
Samuel moved forward and kissed Ella, which was a shock to her.
Samuel became a lecher after a few years.
But it was not her problem anymore, they had divorced.
Ella pushed him away, "You are my ex-husband, behave yourself!" Ella spoke out and then lifted her skirt and walked towards the bar, where the light was much brighter compared to the dancing area.
She grabbed a glass of wine and took a sip to suppress her panic.
Watching her walk away, Samuel licked his lips and recalled her warning words. Interesting!
The music died down, indicating that the first session, ballroom dancing, was ending.
The lights in the hall became brighter, and everyone began talking and laughing again.
Ella closed her eyes and pretended that nothing had happened.
Joseph and Amber sang a love song together, as the next session of the evening. Their performance encapsulated the ambiance in the hall.
Eden finally found Ella, and lowered his voice, "Hey, are you still involved with your ex-husband? Stay away from him. Associating with him will only hurt your image henceforth. Stop getting excited about him."
Ella looked around the hall and saw Samuel and Catherine talking and laughing, a few popular female stars surrounding them.
"I'm not. Anyway, why is Samuel here?"
Even if he was counsel for Star Entertainment Company, it didn't make sense that he attended the party.
Eden also noticed that quite a few people were hurdled in conversation with Samuel.
"I will find out why."
They had just arrived from America that day, therefore didn't have the low-down about a lot of things.
Ella stopped Eden, "There is no need to do that. I'm not interested in knowing why he is here."
She just wanted to finish the play and leave.
As for Samuel, he had fiancee now. It was better not to have any contact with him.
