Perfect Revenge : CEO's Lovely Mistress

His heart was beating very hard. All he could think of right now was Ella’s face. How is she? Is she okay? Can she sleep peacefully? Can she eat well?

The first time Liam felt this way was when he was about to return to Indonesia to meet Ella, but Ella had already disappeared. At that time, all Liam felt was sadness because he had lost Ella. What’s more, when he found Ella, he saw that the woman had completely changed.

In this second time, Liam’s heart was filled with joy and excitement as he managed to find the woman who had been missing for three days.

He was sure that he saw Ella’s initials in the moose painting. Even though there were tens or even hundreds of women named Ella in this city, Liam decided to check them out in person.

Liam is willing to do anything for Ella. He was willing to pay anything to find Ella.

The car sped fast down the street. It didn’t take long for Liam to arrive at the studio where he accidentally found the painting.

The streets are deserted. Only the sound of his own heartbeat could be heard in his ears.

He looked at the time on his phone and was relieved. It was dawn, it was early morning.

.....

In a moment, he could see Ella.

He just had to wait for her in the car.

...

When Ella came the next day, she saw a familiar car in front of Luca’s studio. She thought she had seen this car before, but where?

Her brain started to spin and then she gasped. Isn’t this Liam’s car?

How did Liam find her? How did Liam find this place when Ella hadn’t told him anything at all?

While Ella was still lost in her shock, the car’s door suddenly opened. The man who had been waiting all night in the car finally came out.

Ella’s hand was still hanging in the air, holding Luca’s studio key. She’s too shocked to move, especially when she saw Liam’s face.

“Liam?”

Hearing Ella’s voice, Liam’s eyes lit up. He immediately left the car and grabbed Ella’s wrist, as if afraid that Ella would disappear again. His gaze was fixed on Ella, making sure that the woman in front of him was okay.

Liam made absolutely no effort to hide his excitement.

“Ella, I knew it was you!”

Ella is so special. How could someone who has the same thoughts as Ella, be able to paint the same thing as her?

Liam couldn’t contain his excitement and immediately hugged Ella. He buried his face in Ella’s shoulder, his other hand stroked her hair. “Why didn’t you tell me where you were going? You scared me half to death. I searched for you for several days but couldn’t find you. I thought you had already left this town.”

The frustration and panic that Liam had felt for the past three days finally spilled over.

Ella also felt guilty towards Liam in this matter. After all, Liam was Ella’s best friend. Liam was the only person who was willing to help her even if everyone else left her.

It wasn’t fair to Ella to leave Liam in the dark, knowing nothing of her whereabouts.

Plus, now Liam is working with Haikal to get her mother’s house back. Ella owes Liam a lot.

It seemed, even if she tried to make it up for the rest of her life, Ella would not be able to repay Liam’s kindness to her.

“I just bought a cell phone. Haven’t had time to contact you yet,” Ella tried to explain in a low voice. She felt Liam’s strength when he hugged her increased so that she felt helpless. “Liam, do you want to break all my bones from being so angry?”

Ella knew that Liam was worried about her, but she had no idea her reaction would be this great.

The more Liam acted like this, the more guilty Ella would feel because she couldn’t reciprocate his feelings.

The guilt in her heart slowly grew as she realized that they would never be able to return to their past.

When Liam heard Ella’s whisper in a complaining tone, he immediately let go of his embrace.

He looked at Ella’s face again and pinched Ella’s cheek as if to measure her weight. “You’re skinny.”

Ella just smiled, ignoring what Liam said. Of course she was skinny. During these three days, she was trying to get back to normal.

At Christian’s house before, her life was very good. She just needed to eat, sleep, then accompany Christian and Nathan. That’s why she’d gained a few pounds when she was still staying at Christian’s house.

As she remembered Christian’s house, Ella’s mood was ruined.

Just as Liam was about to ask, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear. “Ella, is this your friend?”

Luca walked over to them casually.

When he saw Liam’s face, only then did Luca feel surprised. He looked at Liam’s face and then turned to Ella. “This is the man who bought your painting for double the price.”

Ella just realized that the person Luca was referring to was Liam. After that, she smiled at Liam. “It seems that you have suffered a great loss. I am not a famous painter, nor do I have the potential to become a famous painter.”

“I think your painting is good. You’re talented.”

Not once did Liam take his eyes off Ella’s face as if he was afraid she would disappear if he looked away for just a second. A smile appeared on Liam’s face.

Since childhood, Liam has always been this way. When Ella studied painting, Liam also always said that she was talented.

Even though Ella joked like that, she wasn’t ashamed to have received 10 million from Liam for her amateur painting. Ella thought the money was the reward she deserved for working so hard to complete her first work.

She deserved the money.

The three of them entered the studio together. Luca made tea for them and for himself. After that, he sat down to listen to the chat between Ella and Liam.

He could clearly see that Liam really liked Ella.

All of that can be seen from the way he looks at Ella, the way he talks to Ella and the way he treats Ella. His love was even seen when Liam bought Ella’s painting yesterday and told Luca about the girl he loves.

Luca did not expect that the person Liam was talking about was actually Ella, the painter of the painting.

Today, the newspaper delivery was a little late. The delivery man looked at Liam’s face for a moment, feeling strange because there was an unknown man in the studio. Every day he delivered newspapers to the studio, but it was the first time he’d seen Liam there.

It was Ella who received the newspaper again and read the news casually. Unfortunately, today’s headline also featured Christian’s face.

And again, Christian was not alone.
