Oh how it felt to be wrapped around by a giant python that was sizing you up to make you its best meal of life?
That’s exactly how Ella felt as Esther rushed forward and hugged her.
"Oh my god, sis, are you fine?" Esther’s sweet voice didn’t match the python grip.
When her hug was not reciprocated, Esther stiffened and slowly let go, "Sis, are... are you angry at me?"
The two girls who followed Esther looked at Ella in disdain, ’’Esther has been concerned about you for two days now and this is how you treat her?!’’
The one who spoke up was Esther’s roommate, Violet. If Ella’s memory served her right, back in her previous life, this girl had quite a tragic end.
Esther had promised her fame and taken her to the entertainment industry, making her start her career as Esther’s body double.
When Esther bagged the lead position in a controversial film backed by a huge production, Violet remained her body double.
Except, the film was not well received by the audience due to the obscenities and nudity present in it. People labelled it as ’soft porn’ in the name of romance.
Esther was starting to be drowned by the hatred she received when the Mo Entertainment finally declared their statement—
An official apology for the wrong choice in film with a revelation that all the obscene scenes were performed by Esther’s body double.
And suddenly, the public found a place to direct all their anger and hatred.
After a few weeks of being harassed and outcasted by everyone everywhere, Violet committed suicide.
Why did Ella remember this instance? Because back then, Esther had come to the Eve Mansion to vent about it, whining about how some of the people were blaming her for this incident because she was the main actress, and how she had no control over what her agency declared.
How did Ella react? She sympathized with Esther blindly.
She did not have two brain cells left to join the dots and understand that how can Esther have no control over what the agency decided when she was fiance of the then CEO—Mo Jun?
Seeing that Violet was ignored by Ella, Esther leaned forward and hugged Ella’s shoulder, ’’Sis, please don’t be angry with me... These past few days, I didn’t know what to do... I was so worried about you even though you were in the wrong this time...’’
Esther weeped as she spoke and a huge crowd started gathering around them.
"I was in the wrong?"
Esther wiped her tears, ’’Sis, no matter how much you hate Ruby, how could you...?" She paused as if she could not bring herself to talk about it, ’’How could you... harm her?"
The crowd that had gathered around them started whispering amongst each other and Ella caught onto to highlight words like ’vile’, ’schemer’, ’bitch, ’shameless’ and whatnot along with the crux of the matter.
As it turned out, throughout the weekend, the university forums had blasted up with news that Ella kidnapped Ruby to get Max’s attention.
People condemned her, pointed their fingers at her and demanded to get her kicked out of the university.
As for why she had not received any news of this? That was because she had muted the forums when she was in the Eve mansion to cut some noise.
"Essie, Max came to meet me yesterday...’’
Esther was taken aback when she heard Ella’s words.
Of course, she knew that Max had gone to meet her in the Eve Mansion but she had never thought that Ella would reveal something like this in front of such a huge crowd without caring for her reputation.
Esther sobbed into her hands, but her nails dug into Ella’s shoulder a little too tightly.
As expected of a fool. Go ahead, ruin it all for yourself.



The two girls who were following Esther were a little speechless. Why would you look cocky while saying something like that?
