CHAPTERr 81 Christmas Present

　　Ella's POV

　　It felt like I was stuck in a bad dream, and everything passed me in a dark and cold blur. Marcus acted like there was nothing wrong like he did nothing wrong, and it was all making my head spin. He made me lunch after I was able to get dressed, inside the little cell, of course. But he brought a table and two chairs, even left a little candle, and brought me a couple of extra blankets.

　　He talked about his day, how much he learned by following me on the scouting properties, and how his business was blooming in the city despite him just settling down here. Gushing about a planned vacation with his family and buying a new property to build his new mansion. What I did notice was that he never mentioned Hannah in any of his future plans, but I didn't ask. In fact, I didn't talk at all, and it didn't seem to be necessary for him to continue.
