#Chapter 133: Pizza Party

Moana

By the time I picked up Ella and took her home, I had almost completely forgotten about the woman named Olivia who called the orphanage. Ella and I spent the remainder of the afternoon drawing and playing in the penthouse, and by the time that dinnertime came around, I was too tired and hungry after my long day to think about much of anything.

“Let’s get ready for dinner, Ella,” I said. I wasn’t sure what Selina and the maids planned on preparing for dinner that night, but I looked forward to sitting down and relaxing a bit.

Even though it felt a bit awkward at first to do something so casual with the Alpha billionaire, I couldn’t deny the fact that it was a lot of fun. With my belly full of delicious pizza, there was a bit of a smile on my face as I occasionally glanced over at Ella and Edrick sitting together in the dark room with only the glow of the television to illuminate them. Eventually, we moved from the floor to the couch, and Edrick held Ella tightly in his arms while she watched the
