Am I hearing a confession Maya~?

Maya's question was like a cold bucket of water being poured all over her and bringing her back to reality.

Ella couldn't help but look at her with cold eyes as she said it. "You. Don't. Need. To. Know." 

"Well that surely is suspicious…" Maya said as she raised an eyebrow.

Ella gritted her teeth. It seemed as if she had gotten carried away just by a few 'friendly' words from Maya. 

"Ah!~ This longing for friendship is not something that you can have Ella!  Especially at an important time like this! Don't let them fool you Ella… And, don't ever let your guards down!" Ella stood up with a frown as these words said by someone resounded in her mind. Tsk! She hated it.

.

Ella had been rude ever since she had entered the villa but this hostile change in her behaviour was too obvious. 

Even Asher who had secretly been keeping an eye on every moment of Ella while being out of their eyesight had noticed it, not to mention both Maya and Aiden.
