Trapped with a Lawyer

Overall, Melody had a great birthday party in a good atmosphere surrounded by great company.

When the feast was over, Vincent and Viola saw guests out. Samuel, lying in a chair indolently, secretly watched Ella playing with their son. Noticing that most of the guests had left, Ella carried her son and walked towards the door without uttering a word to Samuel.

"Wait!"

Samuel's voice made Drake, Emma and Ella, who were at the door, stand still at once.

Drake and Emma glanced at Ella and knew it was her he was addressing.

So they proceeded outside. Ella followed them even though she knew that Samuel had asked her to stop.

Melody came in from outside and saw Jerry in Ella's embrace, "Ella, are you going with Jerry?"

"Yes, grandma. I have taken a day off and want to take Jerry on a day trip."

Ella had asked for leave for Melody's birthday party the day before.

Ella whispered in Melody's ear and Melody smiled.

"Okay. Have fun with Jerry."

Hearing this, Ella prepared to leave with Jerry.

"Grandma, Jerry is also my son. Ella, you have not asked for my permission."

Samuel said, standing up from the chair and closing the door.

He stood against the door, his arms folded. He looked at his grandma and his son, avoiding eye contact with Ella, who's expression was one of annoyance.

Melody's face grew grimmer and she criticized Samuel, "Don't be so mean. Ella is Jerry's mother. Behave like an adult."

He stood motionless as if those words were not addressed to him, "Ella, you can go anywhere you want but Jerry will stay here."

Ella didn't understand why Samuel made things difficult for her. The night before, he was cuddling and kissing her but now he was ruthless. She wondered whether he had bi-polar or something. "Samuel, what do you mean?"

Ella shot him a side glance.

Samuel took Jerry from her arms and gave him to Melody. Then he opened the door and dragged her out of the room.

He took her into an empty private room.

Catherine saw Samuel and Ella leaving. She wanted to follow them but Melody stopped her.

In the private room.

Though it was daytime, there were no lights inside the private room however streams of light filtered through the shutters.

"You have changed a lot. You make me sick."

Ella said ironically after fixing herself.

He always did strange things to her. It was said that a woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets. But in this case, the tables were turned. His was the deepest ocean of secrets.

He made her sick.

Samuel sneered while he blocked the door with his body. She really drove him crazy.

"Come here."

He commanded her, with a sleazy tone in his voice.

"No! I won't". She curled her lips.

"Why should I listen to you!"

Samuel looked down at the floor helplessly.

"Do you want me to come to you?"

There was a slight threat in his tone though he said it indifferently.

If he went to her, he may do something terrible, she thought.

So she bit her lower lip, moved nearer and gave him a withering look, "What do you want from me now?"

A thought struck her. Was he angry that she wanted to take Jerry away?

That was impossible. He knew that Jerry and her kept in touch with each other.

Deep in thought, she didn't notice Samuel pulling her into his arms by force.

He hugged her tightly and kissed her. He was eager for this moment, the first time he saw her walking into the room at Melody's party.

'Did she deliberately put on this alluring shade of lipstick to draw his attention?' he wondered.

He pushed Ella against the door, their bodies entwining.

Ella freaked out when she heard Vincent's and Viola's voices outside.

She didn't object to his kissing and touching until their voices faded away.

They retracted from their passionate kiss. Samuel fixed his eyes on Ella who had to gasp for breath,"Ella, you said I am a womanizer. Have I let you down?"

He was labelled as a womanizer by her when they first met, years earlier.

He would fail her if he did not act like that.

Well...

Ella felt a little awkward. She had erased those words from her memory. It was only Samuel who kept bringing them up.

"No Samuel, you have given a great performance. No more, no less."

Samuel held her by the wrists. She was used to his manipulation and stopped struggling.

"Well, Miss Bo, let us have some fun then."

He said alluringly, full of enchantment. His words and tone made her nearly choke with saliva.

What a shameless rat he was, Ella thought. "Mr. Shao, mind your behavior. Your fiancee is still waiting for you next door."

"It's none of her business. I can do whatever I want."

He spoke arrogantly. Ella couldn't help but kick him.

Seeing her foot, Samuel quickly stepped back and avoided any serious injuries.

"It seems that your fiancee could not handle you and so, let you be a playboy!"

"She is not like you who behaves like a tigress."

Ella was pissed off. How did she behave like a tigress?

She tried to wriggle her wrists loose from his vice-like grip but failed.

"You are such a jerk. Talking to you is a waste of my time. Let go of me!"

He would infuriate her to death if she continued talking to him.

He refused to release her wrists. Instead, from the hip to the knee, his body was against hers, "You ignored me from the moment you showed up. Ella, why do you treat me like this? How dare you treat me like this?" Being ignored does make a man feel bad.

So was it the reason that he had become angry?

Did he not feel ridiculous about himself?

There was no reason for her to be kind to him. It was only hatred that she could feel for him.

"Actually, I am just a baby mama to you."

"Baby Mama?"

Samuel laughed hard as if he had heard a funny joke for the first time in his life.

His laugh made Ella embarrassed. The more he laughed, the more she felt that she was lying to herself that she was only that to him.

"Stop laughing."

She intended to place her hand over his mouth to stop him but her hands were clasped by his hands.

"Samuel, stop laughing, or

I'll bite you!"

A glimmer of amusement showed in his eyes as he stopped laughing. He placed his mouth near her ear and purred, "Feel free to bite me now"

He was such a beast that was good at

Flirting with her!

She could not bear it anymore. She pummeled his chest with her fists bashfully.

Samuel lowered his head and kissed her again, loosening her wrists and placing his hands around her waist.

Five minutes later.

"Tell me you are sorry for ignoring me just now!"

Ella lowered her face so that Samuel could not see her expression and murmured, "I'm sorry."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
