"No one is allowed to use weapons." The arrogant leader asked Zella to remove all the dangerous objects from her body.Zella complied and removed all the weapons from her, and now she only had her body. Zella looked at the burly man, who was about her age and was bragging about his muscularity. Zella couldn't help but laugh. She was afraid that those muscles would make him fall earlier than her."I feel like my guts are low when it comes to fighting women." The man extended his hand for Zella to climb into the ring like a boxer."Don't talk so much, I'm sick of bullshit."Audrey stared at Zella, who turned to her. She kicked Zella in the stomach, knocking her backward. But that did not make her give up. Zella quickly got up from her position, not going to let her opponent win this time. Smirking, Zella quickly kicked the man's shin in front of her. Not just once, Zella twisted the man's arm until there was a snap. The man in front of her still tried to get up and knock Zella down, bu
"I found you." A tight tug on Zella's waist made her jump in surprise.Zella saw Mike's scary-looking grin, and Zella followed where Mike would pull her."You came alone?" Mike removed his hand from Zella's waist.Zella could breathe a sigh of relief as Mike took her to a much quieter place. Although, the sound of the music coming in was very loud."Of course! You asked me to come alone, and I'm a loner anyway." Zella sat on one of the sofas with her legs crossed over each other."Me too." Mike smiled and sat next to Zella."You still have your father, so I don't think we're the same." Zella turned and looked at Mike's face in the dim light.Zella's eyes fell on Mike's neck, where there were kiss marks."What's wrong with your neck?" Zella touched Mike's neck, but Mike avoided Zella's touch."You won't let me touch your body?" Zella raised one eyebrow and gave Mike a scathing look."Just a peck from the club bitch..." Mike took Zella's hand and grasped it tightly."I see; why are you
Since then, Zella and Mike's relationship has grown closer. Zella, appointed as a butler, has now changed her status to that of a maid. She wore a uniform that was so charming; previously, Ruby had used the same uniform as hers, but the woman had been fired from this mansion. Zella, who took Ruby's place at Mike's behest, descended the stairs with her index finger, tracing the fence, which still felt dirty and dusty."Please pay more attention to the cleanliness here," Zella ordered the two young waitresses, who used to be seniors, to Zella.No matter how high, the walls were gossiping about her. Zella was still Queenzella, carrying out her mission, until at the end of the stairs, Zella saw Kenneth's face. But Zella lowered her head first, letting Kenneth pass by her. That's how they are now; Zella and Kenneth are strangers again since the incident that night.Flashback.Zella and Mike only returned to the mansion after one in the morning. The rain was so heavy that they both got caug
"Come closer," Zella called Mike to come closer to her, who was currently sitting next to the bathtub."You're going to help me wash my hair?" Mike smiled as he approached Zella like an excited child."You asked me to do it for you, didn't you? Sit down," Zella said after placing two stacks of towels partially on Mike's neck pillow.Mike followed Zella's instructions, sitting on the tiles of the bathroom floor with his head resting on a pile of towels on the edge of the bathtub.Zella soaks Mike's long hair in the shower. Zella's hands gently sweep through Mike's hair, pouring shampoo into her hands and starting to rub Mike's hair with a gentle massage.Zella's eyes focused only on Mike's hair, while Mike focused on Zella's face, which looked very beautiful in a severe state."I want to be honest with you."Zella stopped her hand and looked into Mike's eyes. What did Mike want to tell her? She hadn't prepared anything yet."Ahh shit! I should have brought my phone into the bathroom."
"Are you sure you want to do this with me?" Zella threw a glare at Mike."You're not sure what I'm saying?" Mike replied to Zella's words, his lips nuzzling the hollow of Zella's neck once more."I'm saying this... To make you think twice about doing it.""What? What's wrong with you?" Mike looked back at Zella, trying to listen to what she had to say. If Zella were lying, Mike would quickly find out."I'm the monthly guest... It'll all be for nothing if we do it," Zella said, explaining what was happening to her right now."Shit! There's always something in the way of me wanting to touch you."Zella looked at Mike's face, who seemed very disappointed at what Zella said. Mike's body rose from the surface of Zella's body, and he instantly felt lost."Are you mad at me?" Zella changed her lying position to sitting and folded her legs together."No.""Liar! It turns out you can get angry, too." Zella held back her smile as she looked at Mike with his back to her."I'm not mad at you! I'm
The sound of gunshots rang out loudly. Bullets flew into the target board, which was no longer because the perpetrator had not stopped guessing for almost two hours.Zella continued to shoot at the target board, which was 10 meters away from her. This was still quite a distance for her; not a single bullet missed the black dot that had disappeared. With every pull of the trigger from her favorite handgun, only Kenneth's face kept appearing, and Dealova's face looked happy—these two people should not enter Zella's mind to ruin her mood.Finally, Zella stopped shooting because she had run out of bullets. With the remaining anger, Zella threw the handgun in her hand, her eyes returning to stare intently at the front. Her knuckles, turning white, gripped the edge of the metal table nearby."Wanna fight?" Diandra appeared behind Zella. She had been witness to Zella's entrance into the shooting range; the woman had been very emotional, and Diandra had witnessed Zella's burning rage until th
"What's wrong?" Diandra again felt that Zella looked silent without speaking; the mood of the woman in front of her was back to what it was before they came to the ring of death."It's nothing. Let me go to the restroom first," Zella said with a very cold intonation. She stood up and left her desk.Zella walked quickly, not towards the toilet but towards the exit from the other direction. Zella exhaled, took out a cardboard box filled with nicotine, and began to burn the tip with a lighter.The smoke from the nicotine between her lips wafted out. Zella was still smoking with a blank stare; there was only her in this area. Maybe people only know the exit from the main access door.Zella looked down at the surface of her leather boots. Her eyes closed; she no longer wanted to cry. But Zella was contemplating whether she could look professional after this. Would she be okay with going back to the way they never saw each other in the first place?A tug on Zella's right arm made the cigare
Kenneth stared at the mirror in his walk-in closet. An expensive suit that, this time, was slightly different from his usual suit, a jet-black suit with a white shirt and a satin bow tie. Kenneth's hair had been transformed into a neater look with pomade polish, which made his entire forehead visible.Kenneth just stared lazily at the servers who passed by him. Kenneth was only looking for Zella after the hug that happened a few hours ago. Zella left Kenneth with a goodbye and said she would come back. But until this moment, Zella's words were not at all occupied by the woman."Sir, are you ready? Mr. Zaverio is waiting for you." The waiter reappeared, calling Kenneth, who did not come out."Wait!" Kenneth stopped the servant, who was about to leave."Is there anything you need, sir?""Have you seen Zella? I mean Miss Zella," said Kenneth, who corrected the call for Zella, who had a higher rank in this mansion. Zella had become the butler in the fastest period of 17 days."Miss, I did
