Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 58

"You fucking bitch!" Samuel finally let go of her neck when Ella was beginning to turn blue and was just about to pass out.

Ella coughed and gasped violently for a breath of air.

Samuel took his phone out of his pocket, played the video and threw it in front of her so she could watch it herself.

Ella instantly turned pale after watching the video. How did this security video...

So, now finally came the day.

"What a liar! Bravo!" Samuel furiously grasped his phone and threw it on the table next to him. The phone slid off the table and then onto the floor.

No one cared.

Looking at Ella's pale face, Samuel got more and more angered at the sight of her. He held her pressed tightly onto the bed.

"You bitch! Let me see how bitchy you are now!" His eyes were flushed red with anger. He grasped her hands above her head despite her struggle to defend herself.

"Please, don't, Samuel..." Ella begged, shivering at the sights of her husband's furious face.

She clearly remembered that the hotel surveillance footage on the night of Lola's wedding was deleted. Where did he get that?

In the video, it was clear she sneaked into his room...

"Don't?" But that thought didn't cross her mind when she sneaked into his room that night while he was drunk.

He tightly gripped her hands, and punished her for her sins.

...

Around five or six the next morning, Samuel slammed the door and left, leaving the house in an utter and complete mess.

Meanwhile, in the bed, the woman left behind huddled, trembling and terrified at what had just happened.

Ella didn't go anywhere that day but just stayed in the bed the whole day contemplating. She kept thinking over and over if this was the end of her happy life.

Samuel went back to their villa very late at night in the following days, and tortured her more and more, punishing her for her mistakes. No amount of apologies could ever fix this.

Those days went on for a week or so, and then Samuel stopped coming back.

So now Ella went to the old house. Before that, she went to the hospital to get her wounds treated and cared for.

Melody instantly felt that something was wrong the moment Ella appeared in the doorway with her face pale and somber.

"Ella, you look so weak. What happened to you?" Melody looked at her while she was playing with little Jerry.

Ella shook her head with a faint smile on her lips: "Grandmother, I want to move back here."

Samuel was now disgusted by her, and would definitely not return to the villa. Then why would she bother to stay there?

She felt that something was terribly wrong between the two of them: "He still can't let it go?" Melody threaded with care.

"No. Grandmother, I want to stay here, with you and Jerry." Thinking of the nightmare she went through the past days, she knew that she couldn't stand Samuel's anger any longer.

Melody had no reason to refuse her, and she couldn't even if she wanted to. She was thinking about calling Samuel later. "Then stay. You are always welcomed here."

Three days passed, and Samuel again went back to the villa drunk and with anger in his heart. Only now the villa was desolate.

Their room was clean and tidy. And all of Ella's and his son's belongings were now gone.

He went to the closet, only to see that all of Ella's clothes were gone.

The dresser was also empty. There wasn't a single thing of hers left

But Jerry's bed and a pile of his clothes neatly stacked in a corner of the room.

Ella bit her lip when she heard the word "divorce".

She could give up anything in the world but her son.

If they divorced, Samuel definitely would take their son, and this was something she definitely couldn't let happen.

"I promise I won't show up again if you don't want to see me." Her face was white and her voice was shaking.

Samuel looked at her poor face, and he knew she must be saying this for their son.

"Don't play the puppy-dog eyes trick. I don't buy it." He rasied his voice, he felt cross and bad.

Ella hurriedly shook head. She wasn't crying anymore, and as she wiped away her tears, she spoke: "Samuel, I did it because I love you so much…" She tried to explain all of it to him.

"To be loved by a woman like you, I'd rather die." Samuel sneered.

These heartbreaking words left her devoid of any words.

It was, indeed, her fault, so now it was up to her to suffer the consequences.

She slowly lowered her head. On the carpet beneath their feet, her tears dropped and quickly disappeared in the texture.

Samuel lifted her chin, and kissed her on her lips with stiffness. And then he suddenly let go of her, and quickly left the room without uttering a single word more.

Ella touched her sore lips, but what hurt most was her heart.

There were words out and gossips that Samuel and Ella made a good couple.

But this proved to be false.

Ella was crooning Jerry to sleep when she saw on TV Samuel with a fancy woman taking him by his arm at a charity party.
