Ella was a very obedient girl. When Stephanie told her to stay by Lorenzo’s side and do nothing, Ella understood completely.

Because during the few days Ella was with Lorenzo, she had caused quite a lot of trouble. So after thinking it over, she figured doing nothing was the safest option.

In the afternoon, she stayed quietly in her room, waiting for Lorenzo’s people to uncover the truth.

The sound of someone knocking on the door, just as Ella was thinking about calling Stephanie. Hearing it, she asked, “Who is it?”

“It’s me.” Lorenzo’s deep voice came from outside the door, startling Ella with a jolt. She hurriedly put her phone away.

“What’s up?” Ella didn’t go to open the door and instinctively grabbed a throw pillow to hug, not even sure what she was trying to protect herself from.

If Lorenzo wanted to do something to Ella, even wearing a steel helmet wouldn’t stop him. But there was comfort in the illusion of safety.

“Blocking the door again?” Lorenzo asked in a deep voice, his tone clearly showing displeasure.

Ella glanced at the cabinet blocking the door and mumbled, “I said I wanted to change rooms, but you refused.”

The kitchen lady wouldn’t let her go upstairs, and Cecil and Bernard were not home for the night. It was just her and Lorenzo on the second floor. Ella thought she should have safety awareness.

Lorenzo said, “Move aside.”

“No, I won’t,” Ella said without a second thought. She finally understood Stephanie’s words completely–not doing anything at all. It was like they hardly even saw each other.

Ella could tell Lorenzo’s tone was unusual. She was extremely nervous, but she still didn’t open the door. Fortunately, Lorenzo didn’t speak again outside; he must have left.

Ella patted her chest and sniffled, “I never used to cause trouble.” What happened in the last few days was more than all the major events in her past twenty years. Ella still hadn’t quite come to terms with it all.

She dialed Stephanie’s number. Stephanie answered the call quickly, “Ella.”

“Stefi, do you have some time?” Ella asked.

Stephanie said, “Sure, go ahead.” She was about to call Ella when Ella’s call came in first.
