The Devil's possession

LOST

**Back in the mansion**

As Ella roamed around the mansion, she soon found herself in an unfamiliar corridor .

Despite her efforts to retrace her steps, she quickly realized she was lost. She called out for help, her voice echoing through the empty halls, but there was no response.

Panic began to rise within her, and she didn’t know what to do.

Feeling increasingly desperate, Ella hoped that someone would come searching for her, but as time passed, nobody did.

She couldn’t understand why no one seemed to be looking for her.

Meanwhile, one of the maids had gone to check on her but didn’t open the door, assuming she was asleep.

Frightened, she wandered aimlessly through the silent corridors, unsure of where to turn or what to do next.

As Ella wandered through the mansion’s corridors, her eyes caught sight of a room bathed in light, stirring her curiosity.

Just as she was about to enter the room, she heard someone call her name “Ella!” Which sent shivers down her spine.

Turning around, her heart pounding with fear, she found Justin standing there, his expression a mix of anger and concern.

Why are you here?Justin’s voice sliced through the air, filled with a mixture of anger and concern, as he confronted Ella.

“I… I got lost,” Ella stammered, her voice trembling.

Justin looked at her, shaking his head in disbelief, this little kitten sure knows how to get into trouble he thought to himself.

I'd advise you to save that explanation for Ethan because right now he’s very angry, Justin urged, his voice tinged with concern and urgency.

We’ve searched the whole house,” he added, his frustration evident as he glanced around the empty corridors.

I’m sorry, she whispered softly, her voice barely audible.

“Come on,” Justin said, his tone firm but gentle, as he motioned for Ella to follow him, providing a sense of direction .

As they walked towards the living room, Ella felt her heart pounding in her chest, her nerves on edge. She didn’t know what she was going to say to Ethan, and panic gnawed at her inside.

You found her, Ethan said with a thick voice, his tone dripping with menace and authority, sending a shiver down Ella’s spine as she sensed his disapproval.

Yeah! Justin replied.

Ethan’s piercing gaze fixed on Ella, commanding her attention as he uttered the words,

Come here, his tone laced with a hint of annoyance, instilling a sense of unease within her.

Ella jumped a bit at Ethan’s firm command, but she stayed close to Justin, finding safety there. Her heart raced with fear, unsure of what Ethan would do next.

Justin was momentarily taken aback by Ella’s reaction, surprised by her sudden action.

With a calm but piercing gaze, Ethan fixed his eyes on Ella, silently urging her to approach him. Feeling the tension, Justin quietly urged Ella to listen to Ethan, his eyes showing both worry and support.

Trembling with fear, Ella cast a wary glance at Ethan, her heart pounding in her chest as she

Inched closer to him. With a cold voice, Ethan said, “Walk faster.” Ella’s heart raced faster as

His words pierced the air, making her more scared.

Tears welled in her eyes as she quickened her pace. She knew she shouldn’t be this scared but she just couldn’t help it.

Ethan gazed at Ella as she approached him, sending a shiver down her spine. What should I do to you? He asked, his voice dripping with authority .

Spare me, Ella whispered, her voice barely audible as she noticed the evil smile playing on Ethan’s lips.

But Ethan’s response was anything but merciful. He clicked his tongue disapprovingly.

I can’t do that he said with a tone of finality.

My slave clearly has not been disciplined.

If I let you off this time, who knows what else you will do, taking my lenience as an advantage.

And you know I’m not kind.”

With a tilt of his head, Ethan stepped away from her, his smirk sending a chill down Ella’s spine. I’ll make you reflect on your actions,” he declared ominously.

And I hope you look forward to the thorough punishment when I get back.

Justin, come, Ethan called.

Then, turning to the caretaker, he added, “I’ll be late. No need to cook dinner for me.

Okay! Young master the caretaker, replied with a bow.

Okay, Justin said, sparing a glance at Ella before leaving.

As Justin and Ethan made their way to meet the investor, They chose to bring bodyguards to the meeting with the foreign investor, just to be safe.

Ethan wasn’t afraid, but he wanted to take precautions because Mr Brandon was from another country, and they didn’t fully trust him.

As they got into the car, Ethan turned to Justin and inquired, How did the investigation with Mr. Brandon go?

Justin smiled and replied, I think we’ve hit the jackpot.

Okay, Ethan acknowledged, listening intently. “Mr. Brandon’s wealth was inherited from his wife’s father.

She is a high-ranking military officer in our country. However, what she doesn’t know is that her husband has a mistress.

And his mistress happens to be a relative of his wife.

Do we have evidence? Ethan inquired.

Absolutely, Justin replied confidently, a smile playing on his lips.

Indeed, Ethan agreed, nodding in satisfaction. With this information, we hold a significant advantage in our negotiations.

By the way Ethan, what do you plan on doing to Ella ?

Why, Justin, don’t tell me you have a soft spot for the young girl,” Ethan teased Justin.

Me! Haha, nooo, I was just curious, nothing else, Justin replied hastily, trying to brush off Ethan’s teasing.

Grandfather arranged a blind date for you,” Justin said with a mischievous smile, getting back at Ethan.

As expected, Ethan’s face changed, his demeanor becoming more serious. “With who this time around?” he inquired, his tone laced with laziness.

The commissioner’s daughter, Justin continued teasingly, “She just completed her degree in business. He said you guys are a perfect match.

Ah, Justin chuckled. He said you are only allowed to miss the date if you have a girlfriend.

but you don’t. Isn’t that sweet?”

Ethan glanced at Justin before saying, “Then just tell him something, What should I tell him? Justin asked, feigning ignorance.

Nevermind, you’re useless,” Ethan said angrily, his frustration evident in his tone.

Justin laughed out loud, struggling to control his amusement. “You should go for the date.

You might end up liking her. I heard she’s pretty,” he teased, hoping to lighten the mood.

Before Ethan could reply, they heard the driver announce, We’re here, boss.

They both exited the car as the bodyguards opened the door, their expressions serious and a fearful aura around them
