Chapter Thirteen

Sitting cross-legged in the middle of the bed, Ella stared at the phone in her hands. She’d spent yesterday afternoon and all night in her room as Erik had asked. Dina brought her some food, but she didn’t have any appetite. An armed guard stood outside her door. It was already noon, and she hadn’t heard anything from Erik.

When she’d called her mother yesterday, Heather had been in the middle of getting a few more tests done. She’d wanted to call this morning, but she didn’t trust her emotions to have a conversation without crying. Too much time had passed, and if she waited much longer to call, her mother would know that something was up.

Taking a deep breath, she dialed the number to her mother’s room.

One hundred and twenty-eight plus one hundred and twenty-eight is….two fifty…eight, no. Two hundred fifty-six. Two hundred fifty-six plus two hundred fifty-six was four hundred…five hundred twelve.

“Ella!” Her mother sounded strong and happy. “How are you, darling? How’s the job? How’s the delicious boss?”

“Mom!” Ella said. She could help but smile. “I tried to call you yesterday, but you were too busy flirting with the nurses. I’m so happy about this surgery. I think our luck is finally turning around.”

“I know, baby. I’m sorry about all that stuff I said earlier. It’s been hard for me with your father gone, but you are my light, and I’m going to fight to stay here with you for as long as I can. But that money that you make is going to go to your future. Do you understand me? This is my surgery and my debt.”

Ella was not going to have this conversation. “I thought you wanted to hear about my delicious boss.”

“Oh, I do. Give me all the details!”

Chuckling, Ella twisted the sheets between her fingers. “I don’t know what to think about him. I’m not sure he’s a good man.”

“You would not be the first woman to be attracted to a bad boy, Ella. I’ve already told you. You have to trust your instincts.”

“I’m not sure my instincts have my best interests at heart.” Her mind told her to run, but her body told her to strip down naked and make all her fantasies come true.

“Don’t think so much, Ella. Have a little fun,” her mother said teasingly.

“I’m not sure when I’ll get there next to see you, Mom, but I promise that I’ll call you tomorrow.” If only her mother knew. There was a knock at the door, and Ella quickly said goodbye and hung up the phone. With her heart in her throat, she slowly moved to the door. “Who is it?” she asked softly.

“It’s me,” Dina said. “I have your lunch, and I’m not leaving until you eat it.”

Cautiously, Ella opened the door and peered out. The other maid stood in the hall with a tray of food and an impatient look on her face. Widening the opening, Ella glanced at the guard. It wasn’t the same one who was there earlier.
