Trapped with a Lawyer

For example, in the middle black-and-white photo, standing in front of the window, she wore a white off-shoulder dress with her long hair flowing down her back, her lips with dark red shade of lipstick, and with a lit cigarette between her lips.

She looked tempting. The overall style of the photo was sexy and dreamy.

In the last photo, she wore a black sexy halter skirt, her lips with an exaggerated brown shade of lipstick and her long hair burgundy in colour.

She looked straight into the camera as if she was looking at him. She placed a finger, which was clad with a diamond ring, gently on her lips. It was impossible to describe the temptation he felt, in simple words.

Samuel held the phone tightly and saved all the photos.

Then he dialed a number.

"Mr. Shao, what is the matter?" Lola's teasing voice could be heard through the phone.

"I want to buy all the photos that GL put online. Any amount is acceptable." Did Ella do anything without thinking? Being his ex-wife, how could she take such sexy pictures? He should give her a good lecture! Samuel remained deep in thought.

Lola chuckled, "The publicity is so good that our company is not going to sell them!"

Samuel closed his eyes and said, "Tell me whatever you want. You can take other appropriate photos and I will bear all the cost."

He wanted to see Ella before retaking any other photos.

She asked, "You are divorced from Ella. What do you want to do with them?"

"Whatever you want, I will pay. Name your price."

Samuel repeated those words three times, his patience running out.

"Well, a billion is acceptable." She took the opportunity to blackmail him.

"Deal!" Lola was very impressed by his straightforward answer.

"No, no, it was just a joke. I will talk to my husband about it later." She couldn't do that. If she was to take all of Samuel's money, her daughter would suffer when she married him. She needed to let it go. "Thanks! I'll be waiting to hear from you."

When the call was over, Samuel watched Yang drive into the downstairs parking of the newly-bought apartment. "I will use the car tonight. You can catch a cab home from here."

Yang nodded and stepped out of the driver's seat. He gave Samuel the car keys, then proceeded to hail a taxi and left.

Samuel took out his phone and clicked on WeChat. He sent a message, and within three minutes he had located Ella.

He started the car and drove to the location where the crew was.

He found Ella filming in the studio. She didn't seem to be aware that there was another person close-by.

Lily, wearing a white blouse, had the emperor's sword pointing at her neck.

A few gloating concubines were beside her, while Crystal watched the scene secretly from the doorway.

"What is your purpose here?" Joseph's voice was majestic. His face was stern and cold, and everyone around him could see this.

Lily's face turned pale. She had lost her usual charm. She dared not move.

"Your Majesty, if you think I am going to hurt the queen, you can kill me with this sword!" She couldn't be with Prince Jin anyway, so it didn't make sense for her to be alive. "Do you think I wouldn't kill you?" The emperor moved the hand that was holding the sword towards her, slicing Lily's neck a little bit causing a blood stain to appear.

At that point, Crystal was supposed to run in, but after a long wait, she was nowhere to be found.

"Cut!" The director's voice boomed in the studio, yanking Amber out of her dream-like state. She was staring at Samuel.

"Amber, it's your cue. Where are you?" The producer called out and Amber walked in quickly.

Amber looked at all the confused eyes in room. Then she looked at the director blankly, "Director, please start again. I'm ready."

Amber returned to her position and glanced at the man standing in the dark.

'Has he come to see Ella?' She wondered.

It was past twelve o'clock in the evening.

Ella walked away to the changing room, took off her makeup, changed her clothes, and then walked out. She was very tired but managed to walk to the nanny's car. Suddenly, in the dark parking lot, someone grabbed Ella's hand.

"Ah!" Aware that she was going to scream, Samuel immediately covered her mouth.

Ella screamed at first. Then she breathed a sigh of relief when she smelled the familiar scent. It was him again.

Eden heard Ella screaming. He craned his neck out of the nanny's car to check what was happening.

He saw Samuel and Ella. He instantly knew what was happening and told the driver to drive off.

After the nanny car left, Samuel took Ella to his Cadillac and drove away from the filming site, fast.

Suddenly, a woman came out of the darkness and watched the car drive away. She walked to her Ferrari and called her assistant, "Get me Catherine's number." Then she hang up the phone. Meanwhile, Amber watched the direction the car was taking. She touched her firm face in astonishment.

She wondered why he was her first love?

Not only did he have a fiancee, but he was also having an affair with his ex-wife. 'Was he the kind of man who cheated and played with women's feelings?'

The Cadillac was heading towards The Royal Mansion. Ella was too tired to bother with what Samuel was about to do.

She closed her eyes and went to sleep.

Ella didn't open her tired eyes until the car stopped. Then she got out of the car, falling into his hands in the process.

"You look so weak. How can you give me another child in this condition?" He could clearly see the weariness in her eyes.

Ella responded, "Mr. Shao, you've got the wrong person to give birth to your children."

Then she remembered the number of women who wanted to have children with Samuel, was probably enough to go around the earth's surface. She used to be one of them. Now she was not. "Ella, the more you act like this, the more I do not want to let you go!" He was about to change her obstinacy.

Ella closed her eyes and let him carry her to the second floor. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and looked around.

"Mr. Shao, please let me go!" she pleaded. He held her tightly. However, she nestled in his arms and pleaded softly.

The man smiled playfully, "At this moment, your appearance is more likely to inspire a man's desire for control, which makes me even more reluctant to let you go!"

That alarmed Ella. She struggled to get away from him. She shouted at him, "Son of a bitch!" That surprised him. He did not put her down but instead, he held her tightly. "Ella, how many times have you cursed at me?" "Huh?" He remembered that this had happened many times previously. It was time to confront her.

"Er..." "It is true you have cursed me many times." Suddenly, the door to the second floor bedroom opened. Ella was sacred. She closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. Samuel pretended that he hadn't seen what she had done. He continued walking with Ella still in his arms. When he placed her on the bed, she rolled over and tried to get away from him. Samuel ignored her and took his nightgown into the bathroom. Ella breathed a sigh of relief and fell asleep quickly.

After a while, Ella woke up. She was not feeling right and she did not know what was happening to her. She stayed in bed.

Ella did not sit up until the bathroom door opened and the man came out.

Their eyes met. Samuel looked up the girl who suddenly sat up. He was confused because she had said she was sleepy He wondered why she hadn't fallen asleep

Then, Ella got out of bed and ran towards Samuel. Samuel raised his eyebrows in confusion, wondering why the woman was coming at him.

Soon, he knew what was happening. Ella passed him, and went straight into the bathroom.

After sometime, Ella called out "Mr. Shao..." She sounded confused and distressed.

"Samuel!" The man approached the bathroom silently.

"Ex-husband..."

Samuel opened the door and walked in.
