On the other side, Ella’s mood had already soured as she rushed back to her dorms.
Before this entire fiasco, she was already exhausted. Not from lack of sleep, but from Adrian King.
Due to the stunt that Adrian pulled last night, Ella couldn’t sleep.
She couldn’t sleep. At all.
The man cuddled her like she was his personal pillow and in no time, she could hear the sound of his steady breathing. And it made her doubt all the time if his doctors were a little confused.
The man... could obviously sleep! So easily at that!
A kiss, a cuddle, and he passed out like a lazy cat.
Meanwhile, she lay there, blushing, boiling, and far from sleeping. The fleeting kiss ran through her mind. Her body? Betraying her. Every damn minute.
In her previous life, she had not unlocked this side of her body that got a little active and heaty easily.
And worst of all? She couldn’t even toss and turn.
Held in Adrian’s arms, she contemplated her life decisions for eternity before dozing off.
And at the crack of the dawn, the old butler came knocking at the door to wake her up. Ella got up with a scare.
Old Madam had arranged two separate rooms for them since in her knowledge, they were boyfriend and girlfriend. But what would she think about her if she got to know that her grandson snuck in to her room in the middle of the night?
An enchanting vixen? A weakness of the stoic heir of the Kings?
However, all her worries were for naught because Adrian was not there in the room.
Hence, carrying her superior dark circles, she forced herself to get ready for the university.
The Old Madam had considerately arranged stylists for her with designer clothes filling an entire room but Ella opted for an oversized sweatshirt and some loose fitted pants, her go-to for the university.
However, another surprise awaited her when she walked out of the mansion.
Two tall and strong men, dressed in black stood by a sleek car and announced that they were her bodyguards.
Befuddled at first, Ella refused them at the moment she came back to her senses. But even after endless convincing, Adrian did not budge.
At least, not until she negotiated with him... cough..some sweet talking... Cough...Cough... Some cheek kisses and some promises about how she would keep him constantly updated about her.
Yes, it was an attack at her dignity. But in front of Adrian-the devil-King, dignity took the back seat.
There was now way Ella could let herself be constantly watched by the man in this life. He wanted her but he would still have to play by her terms at certain times.
No matter how much he scared her, Ella knew that in the end, she has merely changed her ways and approach in this life, not her soul. She could not accept being Adrian’s canary.
Although the bodyguards were gone, she was provided with some self defense weapons that looked harmless but could cause some good harm in times of emergency. For example, the black metal balls from earlier.
It all took place without Old Madam’s knowledge.
And while Ella had thought Adrian was going to drop her at the university, that did not happen.
