Chapter 129 - TIGHTER SECURITY
"Oh yeah? You seem pretty sure, Elle. But what if they find out that you're in a relationship with someone other than Lucas?"
Ellena widened even more. "What do you mean?" avoid it.
A smirk appeared on Selena's face. How she was so happy to see Ellena's expression right now. Didn't expect that the woman in front of her would be so shocked by what she just said.
"Are you surprised? You can't believe how I got to know all of your biggest secrets, Elle." A triumphant grin appeared on Selena's face again.
Eventually, she got to the point where she could make Ellena fall. The thing she had wanted to do for a long time, but only now had the opportunity. Feud. Of course she still holds the grudge and still intends to finish it. From the first time I learned that it was Ellena who had dared to usurp her position as Mrs. Lucas.
"I know it's just your bluff to threaten me. Please do whatever you want. I'm not afraid, because I have God who will always take care of me."
Ellena was still trying not to be influenced, although she was honestly very afraid that Selena would mess up her marriage with Lucas.
"Hm ... Turns out you're brave enough to challenge me, Elle," said Selena before taking a sip of the coffee that had been served to her. "I warn you, never regret for challenging me like that. You must know what will happen after our meeting." She threatened later.
This time, it was Ellena's turn to smirk. Selena's threats worried her a lot, but she didn't want to take her for granted either.
In order not to show her fear, Ellena forced a smile in front of Selena. She was sure she would be furious if he saw her relaxed and not feeling threatened.
"Please. You are free to do whatever you want, Miss," said Ellena calmly.
Just as Selena opened her mouth to respond, suddenly the ringing of her cell phone caught her attention, even with Ellena.
"Sorry, looks like a call came in." Ellena said just before she reached into her trouser pocket.
She took out a cell phone from there. Instantly a wide smile appeared on her face, as she stared at the phone screen.
"Please wait a moment, I have to receive a call from my husband first," said Ellena deliberately wanting to stir up her husband's ex-lover.
That statement instantly managed to make Selena smile wryly. It was clear on her face that he was very jealous of Ellena.
"Hello, Honey," said Ellena to Lucas, deliberately wanting to show affection in front of Selena.
Meanwhile, elsewhere, Lucas, who was sitting in his oversized chair, seemed to be frowning and smiling happily when he heard his wife's voice. Between belief and disbelief about Ellena's attitude quickly changed, after a few minutes of being sad and crying. He wondered what made his wife sound so happy all of a sudden.
"Honey, are you okay?" Lucas asked to the point. Just wanted to make sure that Ellena was no longer sad like before.
"Oh, of course, Honey. I'm fine. I'm actually very happy because this afternoon an honored guest has arrived." Ellena replied, glaring at Selena, just to confirm the woman's current expression.
Sure enough. It turns out that Selena looks displeased with the attitude that Ellena shows in front of her. This was evident from the way she looked cynically at Ellena, who was smiling triumphantly.
"Who is that guest?" Lucas asked a little enthusiastically.
Of course he was very curious about the honored guest his wife was referring to. Who exactly was that person, so that he could change his wife's mood so quickly.
"Hm ... maybe you'll be surprised if I mention her name," replied Ellena with the same gaze, focusing on the woman in front of her. Ah, she's really good at making Selena angry.
Yes, of course it made Selena tremble in fear. Now she was busy neutralizing her feelings. Worry about your own destiny. What if Ellena dared to tell Lucas she was coming to the shop? Ah, she could be beheaded alive by Lucas.
So, what should she do? Should she run away from that place? Not! It was too cowardly to do. She really didn't want to see Ellena laugh at her.
"I'm getting more and more curious about the person you mean, Honey. Tell me who it is! I think I need to thank her, for making my wife so happy this afternoon." Lucas said still enthusiastically. It seems that he really believes in his wife's words.
"You really want to know?" asked Ellena reassuringly, curling her lips into a smile. It's nice to see Selena's anxiety clearly displayed in front of her eyes.
"Yeah, of course I want to know." Lucas replied.
"Hm ... she ...." Ellena hung her words when she found Selena's expression getting more and more scared. Even that face had turned bright red, as if it was harboring such great anger.
Selena's eyes widened instantly, her heart was racing so fast. She couldn't imagine what would happen after Ellena told Lucas she was in the shop. Maybe soon Lucas would send some men to drag her out of there. Provides protection for Ellena.
For a moment her brain memory seemed to be replaying a scene from several months ago, when she was kicked out and dragged away in a dishonorable manner by Lucas's men. It really hurt when she recalled the incident. How could someone who used to love her so much, could do such a cruel thing to her.
It seems that Selena is still not aware of the mistakes she has made, making Lucas turn into the most cruel person to her in this world. If he realized that the mistake had started with her, of course she would have accepted Lucas' decision to choose Ellena as his wife.
"Who, Honey? Don't make me more curious!" Lucas asked as he raised his protest and made Ellena who was still focused on looking at Selena, suddenly gasped.
"Hm ... clearly, she is a very beautiful woman and you know her very well," answered Ellena, not intending to tell her husband. The attitude she showed in front of Selena, of course only as a bluff and to make the woman furious at her.
"Honey, do you want to play guessing games with me on purpose?" Lucas asked a little annoyed because he didn't get a definite answer from his wife.
"Never mind, Honey. Later I will definitely tell you who it is," replied Ellena again showing a smirk in front of Selena. "We'd better end our talk now, because it's a pity for my guest to have to wait so long." She added later.
"Akh ... come on, Honey ... tell me who it is, don't make me curious like this!" Lucas whimpered.
"No, Honey. Later. I'll tell you." Ellena replied still firmly in her stance. Hope that Selena will feel more threatened after hearing her conversation with Lucas.
There wasn't much Lucas could do but give in to his wife, despite the fact that he was still very curious.
"Sorry, it's been a long wait, Miss," said Ellena shortly after ending her chat with Lucas.
Ellena then placed the phone on the table. She tried to hide the smile on her face. Don't want to show arrogance because they feel that they have won back for Selena.
"How about it, Miss. Do you still want to continue your game?" asked Ellena to confirm.
Selena turned her head to the side, looked away and put on an annoyed expression.
"You will know the consequences, if you dare to report to Lucas!" Selena said emphatically.
"I told you, do whatever you want to do, Miss. Even if you intend to kill me, I will never be afraid because there is a God who will surely protect me!" replied Ellena not wanting to lose.
"Okay, we'll see who will win. We'll prove that God is on whose side, you or me!" Selena growled as she pointed at Ellena and herself in turn.
"With pleasure, Miss." Ellena flashed her happy grin again.
"I won't let anyone who dares to seek trouble with me, be able to live in peace. Including you, Elle!" Selena lightly pounded the table with one hand. However, Ellena still remained calm and wore a broad smile.
"Do it, Miss!"
"Don't blame me if one day you have to accept the harsh reality, Elle. That's the result of daring to play with me!" said Selena as she got up from her seat. "Excuse me. I'm so sick of being with you for so long!" She added as she left the place.
Ellena responded with nothing more than a bitter smile. She then turned her head, staring at Selena's departure from that place. The woman seemed to wander further and further until she was out of sight.
She then left the place and returned to her private room. Finally, today she could face Selena again. Luckily Lucas called at the perfect time.
Elsewhere, Lucas, who was curious about the figure his wife was talking about, immediately opened the CCTV footage that was connected to his cellphone.
"Damn it! It turns out that she still dares to disturb my wife!" Lucas cursed after a while he watched the video footage showing the figure of his wife and Selena.
Can't believe that the beautiful woman that Ellena is referring to is Selena, the person she currently hates the most.
After various attempts he made to bully Selena, it turned out to have no effect. Selena still dared to bother his wife, who clearly had no problem with her.
"What does he really want? Why does she still dare to meet Ellena behind my back. Doesn't she know what the consequences will be, for having dared to deal with me?" Lucas growled as he clenched one hand, while the other hand was still faithfully holding the cellphone.
"Why didn't Ellena tell me directly that it was Selena who met her? Did Selena threaten her?" Lucas whispered as he guessed several possibilities.
"Looks like I have to set up even tighter security at the shop!" He added as he stared blankly in any direction.
