Trapped with the CEO

Chapter 557 Will You Marry Me



Half an hour had passed.

Inside the car, no-one spoke, Ella leaned against a window, as far away from Samuel as she could. She watched as the city whizzed by outside.

Samuel rubbed the skin between his eyebrows and spoke calmly, "So, after being in there for a day, you know it's your fault, right?" Had he known what Catherine was going to do, he would never have left her side. In her time of need, he was no where to be found.

However, maybe this ordeal had not been all bad. Maybe it had finally tempered the bold, impulsive streak in Ella's temper. Maybe she wouldn't be so quick to act from now on.

Samuel was able to tolerate her being childish and often outlandish ideas of 'punishing' other people. But he was not OK with this new streak of criminal activities. No, he wouldn't stand for her cheating and slandering others.

He question seemed to fall on deaf ears. Ella sat silently, refusing to answer him. The only person she had ever truly loved no longer believed in her. She had nothing to say.

Once her cornerstone and protector, now in a time of need, her Samuel had been no where to find. Absent. He doubted that if they had not still be married he would have even come at all.

The car came to a stop at the door of their city Villa. "If you promise I can see Jerry whenever I want, I will agree to a divorce."

Anna, sitting in the driver's seat suddenly felt uncomfortable. The temperature inside the car seemed to drop several degrees.

Anna shivered. Where these the same two, who just weeks ago, had seemed so happy. The image of happiness. Who were these strangers she now saw in the backseat? How quickly they had moved towards divorce.

A few minutes later, Samuel stepped out of the car and slammed the door shut violently.

Just as Ella began to relax, thinking that Samuel had left, her door was pulled open without warning.

Nearly falling, Ella would have hit the ground had it not been for a handful of Samuel's shirt.

Samuel threw her over his shoulder and walked towards the villa. Having starved in a jail cell or two day, Ella nearly fainted in exhaustion.

Upon entering the villa, Samuel commanded Anna, "Tell Eason that I brought his sister back, safe and sound." Anna was greatly surprised at the man she now saw entering the villa. How strange these once familiar people s

"You're my wife in name only, on paper only. My heart and love will never be yours."

Edward made it clear to Daisy that she was nothing to him. They were both victims of family greed -- the marriage was arranged for them.

Six years passed. She remained quiet, gaining a reputation in the army as a tough-as-nails colonel. When she walked into his life again, Edward fell in love with this woman...

the past? Obsess over mistakes? Or was it that she had been spoiled by her parents?

Now, both Samuel and Ella were soaked with the rising water. Ella shivered.

At last Samuel felt himself relaxing a bit. He stood up and got out of the tub.

Replenishing the water in the tub, he picked up Ella and put her back in the tub.

Two hours later, Ella sat in front of the dresser mirror, drying her hair. She was weak at the knees.

She opened the door to the baby's room and locked the door behind her. She fell asleep on Jerry's bed.

Meanwhile, Samuel went to his own walk-in closet and changed into his robe.

Samuel glanced at the empty bed and then went to Jerry's room and tried the door. Sure enough. It was looked.

Thinking of their "cold war, " Samuel decided to leave Ella alone. He returned to the bedroom alone.

Ella woke up the next morning surprisingly energized. She went to closet and changed noiselessly before leaving the villa.

After about 20 minutes, she returned to the villa. She threw away a bag of medicine before sitting down at the kitchen table.

Samuel walked down the stairs while tying his tie. He caught Ella popping two pills into her mouth. She swallowed hard when she saw him.

He frowned slightly. Was she sick?

"What pill did you just take?" Upon hearing Samuels voice, Ella shook with fright. She nearly dropped the glass of water in her hand.

Samuel stood horrified. Her reaction was strange. Samuel walked past her and went to the trashcan. He pulled out the box of medicine she had thrown away.
