“Mr. Devil”

Author by Natalie Ernison

The memory of Ellena's past is slowly recovering. Although she had to feel great pain in the Head. Every fragment of memory that begins to appear will cause pain in her head as well.

“Remember! I don't like you getting too close to Johanez. You don't even fully know what Johanez will do to you” recalls Henokh, wiping the top of Ell's head.

“Well brother, I have to continue what I've made,” said Ell with a sincere smile to Henokh.

“Never commit a disgusting act on another man again, or I will burn those men immediately, and I will make you stay up late until morning,” said Henokh with a meaningful smile.

“I'll remember it, Master” replied Ell. Now Ell has to get back to his job. In the meantime, Ell must continue his work at the company of his father, Mr. Brandon.

“Company xx”

Struggling with all his busy life, and being too focused. So Ell was unaware of Johz's presence behind him.

“Dear” whispers Johz right at the nape of his neck.

“Johanez, don't do this” squeals Ell, letting go of Johz's arms.

“I miss you. Too many things have happened lately. My mother's health deteriorated, and I didn't even have time to take care of the photos. Because the most important thing is, you're fine” said Johz with his cheeky face.

“Johanez, I'm sorry. You must be my instrument of revenge, brother will never understand how much pain I have experienced” inner Ell.

“Johanez, I have to finish my report. Don't you want me to be a lousy woman!” said Ell persuading Johz.

Hmm.. “All right, I'm not going to bother you” snorts Johz. Then get out of Ellena's face.

“Do I have to come to the house and see that bitch!” Ell's inner self.

Look neat and respectable. Ellena is now ready to face her parents, as well as her stepmother.

“Brandon Cars family residence”

“Mi-miss Ellena—” said one of her housekeepers. From the expression of the assistant, it is clearly drawn on her face full of longing for Ellena's presence.

“Miss Ellena, how's she doing all this time?” the assistant said. Ellena since childhood has always been with the assistant who she considers to be like her own aunt. There was never a wall or distance between the employer's son and the housekeeper. Ellena always treats all their home workers well.

“I'm fine,” Ell said softly.

“What are you doing here?” exclaimed Mrs. Flia from the second-floor steps of her family's stately home.

Ell just looked up with a spiteful stare. “This is my parents' house, so it's my right to visit,” said a furious Ell.

“You have to be aware of your current position. Have you been dumped by the Matthe family!” reproached Mrs. Flia with a sigh?

Hmm... “You're just a wife who doesn't deserve to be called a mother!”

“Of course you don't deserve to call me a mother. Your mother is already in hell” reproached Mrs. Flia with a sigh. Ell clenched both hands, eager to punch this woman in the mouth. But Ell had to be patient for it.

“Ellena!” exclaimed Mr. Brandon, who had just arrived.

“Dad” said Ell with sadness. Ell longed for his father's touch, caress, affection. Didn't Mr. Brandon miss his daughter, even if he didn't love Ellena's mother?

“Are you well?” said his father with a smile. Seeing that, Mrs. Flia was furious and couldn't stand it.

“Honey, come in. Aren't you exhausted” Mrs. Flia told Mr. Brandon?

“Ellena, I want to talk to you. Can you?” said his father. However, seeing his stepmother's spiteful expression, Ell refused.

“I just want to stop by for a second, I have to get back dad,” Ell said. Then leave the family home.

Ell should be in this stately home. Even all his sacrifices, as if they were meaningless now. Is Ell's way of life so difficult and painful?

“Resto xx”

Ellena enjoys her dinner alone. Her mind was so deep when he remembered everything that had happened. She had been secretly in a relationship with Johanez, as well as Mr. Ghand.

“Are you tired of being with other people?” said someone from behind Ell.

“Sir Henokh” said Ell surprised.

“My little Ellena looks so fragile, though as hard as possible trying to get revenge” in Henokh's mind.

“Why do you know I'm here?” asked Ell in a cell.

“Why shouldn't I know where my woman is! it's not just from the scent of your body and your blood that I've been able to track it down!” said Henokh with a slanted smile.

“Do you also know what I've done with Mr. Ghand, as well as Johanez?”

“Of course I know. But I have to hold myself as hard as I can. Don't blame me, if dozens of teenage girls become my pity!” said Henokh, clutching Ell's jaw.

“I'm sorry Sir, I don't know what else to do. I miss my family. —” said Ell with eyes that had begun to glaze over. Slowly chew the food hard.

“You are so fragile, why should you hold back and not come to me,” said Henokh.

“I'm very fragile indeed. I was afraid of what was going to happen in front of me,” Ell said in a soft tone.

“Ellena, never be with another man again! finish your game!” said Henokh, holding Ell's hand.

“I haven't been able to do it, brother” Ell pulled back her hand.

“And I will wait for you to find me myself,” said Henokh, then moved from his seat precisely in front of Ell.

“I can't believe love,” said Ell, with a blank eye. It's as if Ell is so tired of his life.

“Sir Henokh.-” said Ell stopped when he saw Johanez already standing at the table next to him.

“Johanez!” said Ell astonished and looked at Henokh.

“Now I know who I am in your life. I'm just a tool for you, isn't it!” said Johanez with his quivering lips holding back all the raging feelings.

“Finish your business in peace,” said Henokh. Then sit at the corner table.

“Mr. Henokh is my business client. I didn't expect you to be this easy on me, Ellena. —” johanez said.

“Johanez, I...--”

“Am I too stupid for you to use! Even to be mad at you, I can't afford Ellena. —I know you hate my mother so much, and your efforts worked. Are you so content to avenge your heartache on me, even me who always tries to be the best man for you?”

"I won't know how much pain I've been through. Everything was viciously taken, even father! You're so bad to me. —” sucks Ell. Henokh was still trying to restrain himself, so as not to pull Ellena from Johz' presence.

“Ellena! Father's age is not long. I actually love you so much, but I have to hold it all down, because of the promise to Mr. Luke!”

“What do you mean by that?”

“I already know our relationship, I'm honest with you. Since then, I've been telling myself everything. Everything that's happened so far isn't what you see Ellena.”

“Dad. father's age, why?” said Ell, holding Johz's hand.

“Brother! hurry up and say it!”

“Dad is being treated in hospital, but now he's back home. I really want to see you.”

“No way! I never wanted me!” said Ell.

“I'm not a real father and mother, I'm just a mother's adopted child,” said Johz. Ell is getting surprised.

“What—”

“I've told you everything, I even want me to be your brother. Then in a meeting, Mr. Henokh asked me to talk, and I all knew. I'm going to love Mishel. Mishel and auntie are innocent. It's all mom's fault” said Johz.

Ellena stepped out of her seat. “I want to see you!” said Ell.

“I will go with you,” said Henokh.

Ell continued sobbing all the way to his residence. With Henokh also Johanez.
