Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 48 48: It was a mistake

Stefan's daring reminder of that day made Ella's lips quiver, and she gritted her teeth furiously.

"I told you it was a mistake, and you also know that. Thus, remain silent and act as though you are unaware of anything," she said.

Stefan nodded and grinned as he took in everything she had said, but there was one thing that would not leave his mind: the tears she shed when she told him about how her five-year relationship had ended because her boyfriend had suddenly come to find her unattractive and disinterested.

"Well, if that is what you say, but are we expected to treat each other with courtesy at work? It is going to be difficult for me to act as though I do not know you better," Stefan hinted, infuriating Ella even more.

"Shut up," Ella warned, making him smile even more before she turned and walked into the office they were supposed to share.

Ella regretted drinking that day after Max broke up with her. She was in love with the boy, but he chose to cheat on her. He also accused her of being uninteresting and unsatisfactory, saying that her only hobby was working.

They were supposed to celebrate their fifth anniversary but it turned out to be the day they ended everything. It was shocking and too disheartening for Ella as she was dreaming of having a future with him.

To soothe her pain, she went to the club for the first time and drank to the point that her mind and heart weren't under her control.

When she wakes up the following morning, she is with a stranger—Stephan, the son of her boss, to be exact.

'Argh, why do I even have to be there in the first place?' she cursed herself for being weak-hearted over a breakup that didn't deserve a single tear from her eye. She still, however, dreamed of marrying Max because she could not get over the memories she shared with him.
