Prisoned Love
Ella Jiang held her father's hand tightly on the bed, and the tear stains on her face were still clear. "Father, do you have anything else to say to my daughter?"
Bright Jiang felt that he couldn't stand it anymore. The only thing he couldn't let go of was his daughter's marriage. "Ximena, I've arranged a marriage for you. Remember..."
Bright Jiang's difficult words made Lauren, who was sitting next to him, cry out

Chapter 6
Jeremy Xie felt that Ella Jiang's behavior today was a little strange. She had always been dignified and steady, but today she looked a little flustered, which aroused Jeremy Xie's curiosity. What could make the fearless Ella Jiang so nervous.
"There is nothing important in the company. I'm still worried about you." As Jeremy Xie spoke, he strolled around in the living room and looked around. "There are a lot of delicious food in the kitchen. Is there any distinguished guest coming?" Then he gave Ella Jiang a meaningful smile.
"Ah... Yes, what a coincidence," Ella Jiang stammered. "But my mother-in-law is coming today. What a coincidence!"
"Then Auntie may not mind having dinner with her daughter-in-law's company leaders." Looking at the anxious look on Ella Jiang's face, Jeremy Xie suddenly felt interesting.
"Well... Of course she won't mind. But you are so busy with your work. You'd better not waste so much time here..."
Jeremy Xie thought it was better not to make fun of her any more. "Well, since you look so energetic now, I'd better leave first."
Ella Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, Snow's voice came from the yard, "Mrs. ! Old lady and master are back!"
Ella Jiang felt that the God of destiny would not let her have a good result.
As soon as Edmend Qin entered the door, he saw the woman and a strange man walk out of the living room. he immediately felt uncomfortable. How could she bring a man back when he was not at home! And this man was so handsome!
"Who are you? Who asked you to come in?" Edmend Qin asked in a muffled voice.
Jeremy Xie smiled and walked up to Auntie Qin. "Nice to meet you, auntie. I'm the leader of Ella Jiang's company, Jeremy Xie. Miss Jiang has asked for a leave today, so she wants to see what happened. If there's nothing else, I'll go first."
Mrs. Qin was also confused in advance. After hearing the introduction, she immediately felt relieved. "Oh, you are the leader of Ella's company. Thank you for your concern. It's late now. Mr. Xie hasn't had dinner yet, right? Please stay and have dinner with us. Snow, bring us some bowls and chopsticks." Snow nodded and left.
Ella Jiang glanced at the sullen look on her face. When she was about to say something, she was stopped by Jeremy Xie, "aunt, it's hard to refuse your kindness. Then I won't be courteous. Please come in."
Holding Ella Jiang's hand, Mrs. Qin said all the way, "Ella, I support you when you go out to work, but don't tire yourself out because of work. Mr. Xie is also a well-educated and reasonable person, unlike my son Edmend Qin." she glanced at Edmend Qin beside her and said, "you're so ungrateful."
"I'm flattered. Mr. Qin must have some inconvenience." Said Jeremy Xie.
When they entered the living room, Snow hurriedly brought a plate of fruit and said, "Mrs. Si, Mr. Xie, please wait in the living room. The dining room is preparing lunch. It will be ready soon."
Mrs. Qin motioned for Mr. Xie to sit down and have a talk. Jeremy Xie didn't refuse. he picked up a small apple and ate it. During the whole process, Ella Jiang saw that Edmend Qin's face darkened in silence.
"What does Mr. Xie do?" Palema asked.
"I own a small design company, which is just starting."
"It turns out that you started your own business. You are so capable at such a young age. It's really rare." Pamela's face was full of praise. It seemed that she had a good impression of Mr. Xie. "You are also very considerate to your subordinates. This kind of humane management is rare now. Presumably, the employees work very hard."
Jeremy Xie smiled, "not bad. The scale of the company is small, and we have to find some ways to attract people. If an excellent designer like Miss Jiang is lost to another company, it will be a great loss, won't it?"
"Mr. Xie, you are so honest. You said it frankly." Palema smiled too.
"Yes, boss is good at business and personnel management." Ella Jiang added.
Edmend Qin snorted, "it's just a small company. I don't know how long it can run."
For a moment, all the people present were a little embarrassed except Jeremy Xie.
"Of course, people like us who start their own business can't compare with those who work hard for their father." Jeremy Xie said indifferently and took a bite of the apple.
Standing aside, Ella Jiang felt the smell of gunpowder getting stronger and stronger. Edmend Qin seemed to be about to hit someone, so she hurried out to mediate. "Aunt Qin, the lunch should be ready. Let's go to the restaurant for lunch." Then he held Belinda's hand.
Mrs. Qin also felt that the atmosphere was not right, so she stood up and said, "Mr. Xie, please come to the dining room for dinner." Jeremy Xie also stood up and said, "Okay, thank you for your hospitality."
After the embarrassment just now, the conversation at the table became much less. Ella Jiang was busy picking up food for palema. On the one hand, she was worried that Edmend Qin would do something bad to her afterwards. On the other hand, she blamed palema for not saying that she was sick. But she didn't expect that the company's policy of caring for her subordinates was so good.
After the dinner, Jeremy Xie finally knew what to do. Only the Qin financial group could afford such a villa. Judging from the fact that she had just called Ella Jiang Mrs. Qin, she hadn't changed her address. She guessed that Ella Jiang and her husband Edmend Qin hadn't spoken a word since they entered the house. It could be seen how bad the relationship between the two was. Thinking of this, Jeremy Xie felt much more relaxed. As for the reason, he didn't know.
Except for Jeremy Xie, the unpleasant dinner ended in half silence.
Jeremy Xie stood up and said goodbye to palema and Ella Jiang. Ella Jiang felt that she hadn't been so embarrassed for a long time. Seeing that Jeremy Xie was leaving, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Edmend Qin said coldly, "I'm sorry not to send you off."
Jeremy Xie didn't want to spare him, "no,save your steps." Then he turned around and left.
It was not until then that Ella Jiang realized how eloquent Jeremy Xie was. Looking at Edmend Qin's black face, she finally couldn't help laughing.
Seeing that Edmend Qin went upstairs angrily, palema sat down and had a chat with Ella Jiang.
"Ella, I also appreciate that women have a job and work hard for the future, so I support you to work outside. But don't worry about money. Ella is not like this usually. She behaves like a devil today, and she looks so impolite in front of the guests. It's really shameful. But I can see that Mr. Xie is a man of great achievement, and you should work well under him Besides, I feel that he looks familiar and seems to have met him somewhere before. "
Ella Jiang cut in, "no way. His company has just started for more than a year. How did you see him?"
"Maybe I remember it wrong." Pamela said thoughtfully.

I spent forty hours hand-beading a gown for a woman who was currently sleeping with my husband. My fingers were raw, my vision blurred, and the needle had just driven deep into my index finger, leaving a drop of blood on the silk.
Braxton walked into our penthouse, rain dripping from his suit, and didn't even look at me. But the scent hit me instantly—Bulgarian rose and white musk. It was the custom perfume Griselda, my own sister, commissioned in Paris.
I had spent three years as a ghost in my own marriage, sewing costumes for the woman who had haunted my vows since day one. Braxton didn't bother to hide it anymore; there was a smudge of her coral lipstick on his collar. He didn't offer an explanation, only a command to finish the gown for the Met Gala so I wouldn't embarrass them.
My mother called moments later, her voice sharp with the usual dismissal. She didn't care that I was bleeding or that my husband was cheating with my sister. She only cared that I was "falling behind" on Griselda's gown.
I sat in the silence of that cold, marble cage, staring at the needle in my hand. For years, I had swallowed every insult and stitched every lie, believing I was the capable one who had to make them happy.
But as the clock ticked, a door inside me finally clicked shut. I wasn't just tired; I was finished. I set the needle down, picked up my phone, and dialed my sister’s number to tell her she’d have to find someone else to bleed for her.

I was the invisible failure of the Goff family, hiding my medical genius behind a report card full of Fs and a slumped posture. One rainy night, I found a man bleeding out in a dark alley behind the school gymnasium, a knife protruding from his gut.
To keep the police from digging into my secrets, I dragged the dying stranger to my bedroom and stitched him up using a hidden surgical kit. I thought I was being careful, but my cousin Cleora caught a glimpse of the blood and immediately alerted my fiancé's wealthy family.
By morning, my world collapsed as my future in-laws stormed the manor, throwing an annulment agreement at my feet. They called me a "loose woman" and "million-dollar trash," while my own housekeeper gleefully testified against me. At school, the word "SLUT" was spray-painted across my locker in jagged red letters, and the boy I was supposed to marry looked at me with nothing but cold revulsion.
I didn't understand why they were so eager to destroy me before even asking for the truth. I was the one who had spent years protecting this family's reputation, yet they were throwing me to the wolves over a single misunderstanding. I felt a surge of cold fury as I realized my loyalty had been met with nothing but betrayal.
Everything changed when the "dying" stranger finally walked down the stairs, shirtless and bandaged, revealing himself as Braylon Lancaster, the most powerful man in the city. He didn't just defend me; he froze my fiancé's entire family fortune with a single phone call.
As my in-laws fled in terror, a courier arrived with a five-carat pink diamond from the head of the city's most dangerous crime syndicate. The note read: "The debt is acknowledged." Suddenly, I wasn't just a failure anymore-I was the most sought-after woman in the underworld.
