8. Sad past

Jane invited Ella to her restaurant for lunch. "So what are you doing these days?", Jane asked.

"Nothing special, just finished writing a novel and now I'm resting for a bit. It will be published soon", Ella said.

"Ooo can't wait", Jane said cheerfully.

While Ella was in America she decided to write  a novel. The name of her novel was "Face".

From the start it was decided Ella will take over KN Ent. But there was still long time left for it so she wanted to do something else too.

Ella saw Liam entering the restaurant. His hair was styled in a quiff and he wore a light blue shirt with fitted jeans.

Ella was wearing a light blue fit and flare dress. It was a pure coincidence for them to wear same colour clothes.

Liam and Ella looked at eack other's clothes and made eye contact but she looks away soon. Liam chuckled at her cuteness.

"Well you didn't tell me you were hanging out." Liam said plainly.

"No it's not like that we just met nearby so we decided to have lunch together", Jane explained.

Liam sits, "I get it now, so will it be fine if I join in?". "You don't even have to ask why are you being so formal", Jane said.

"Ella you didn't show me your old picture", Jane complained.

"Old picture?", Liam asked. "I had plastic surgery a few months ago so Jane wanted to see what I used to look like before", Ella told Liam.

"Ooo I see", Liam nods.

Ella sends Jane her picture. Jane opens her phone and saw the picture.

"I thought you were ugly or something", Jane said. "You were pretty back then too", she added.

"Show me", he takes the phone from her hand and checks her picture. As he looks at her picture he froze.

"What, is it that much shocking? Are you so shocked by her beauty", she said amused.

Jane takes the phone from his hands. "What's wrong?", Ella thought but was finding the whole situation funny because of Jane's comment.

Suddenly Liam's smile disappeared.

Flashback

A year ago, one night Ella was running and reached the edge of a cliff. She was injured and was breathing heavily. Scratches on her arms and face.

She was running from a wolf that attacked her. The wolf followed her to the cliff.

The wolf was Liam. He kept moving forward knowing she can't go anywhere now and Ella kept going backwards.

She slipped and fell off from the cliff. Liam saw her falling and it made him infuriated.

"Now I have too find another prey", He goes away.
