Chapter 8

“This is not you, Ella. You couldn’t have given up your ambition.” Dan stated.

“Well, I did. I had a change of heart. I wasn’t willing to fulfill my dream.”

“That’s bullshit. We don’t believe you. Heck, you even left everyone to tell no one anything. If it weren’t for your mom, we would have never known to begin with. In fact, we even went there to talk to you, but then we heard you canceled your admission. We were worried. You left without a word, and you even changed your God damn number.” There was a hint of anger in Dan’s voice, and she couldn’t exactly blame him.

Damn! Tim and Dan were smart. But it also overwhelmed her that both of them tried to talk to her by contacting her.

“With time, people change, and their priorities also change. That’s what happened to me.”

After that, Ella was glad that her phone call cut her off. She immediately picked it up but kept it on the loudspeaker as it was safer.

“Sup, Ella,” Ron asked from the other side of the phone.

“On my way to work.” She spoke.

“Cool, by the way, I got a call from some girl named Candice.”

“What the, are you kidding me, right?” Ella groaned. How the hell did she get his number?

“She warned me against marrying you. I mean, why the hell she would do that...... Unless you guys had something to do with it.”

“Nope, not me, it was all your sister and Kristy’s doing.”

“Explain, please.” He demanded curiously.

“Let’s just say we three were having a peaceful afternoon until my dearest sister called me, informing me about her wonderful date with my ex-boyfriend in the same place where he actually asked me to be his girlfriend. Let’s just say the phone was on the loudspeaker, and those two girls heard it, and they started gushing about my soon-to-be wedding. How did you propose to me and all? Well, she didn’t take it well and told me that she was marrying my ex, which pissed Rosey, so she and Kristy started talking about our so-called wedding in Venice.” Ella explained it to him.

“Oh god! Are you kidding me? Rosey, I can imagine. But even Kristy played along. You didn’t stop them.”

“Well, I tried. But thinking about the look on the doll’s face made me happy. So, after a while, I gave up. But I can’t believe she called you. But she deserved it. God knows how the hell she got my number, let alone yours.”

“Is she the same one who tried to sabotage your chance at university?”

“Yup, the same one.”

“She is supposed to be your sister.”

“Correction, she is my step sister. What else can you expect from her?”

“True. By the way, what’s the deal with Rosey? She kind of looked pissed off about some guy named Timmy and was using colorful words against him all day long.” Ron asked. Ella looked at him from the review mirror and saw him blushing.

“Don’t worry; your sister is safe with him.”
