Chapter 9

After lying back down. Ella just couldn't get back to sleep. She felt like she was burning up.

Time dragged on, and she was still roasting.

Arthur noticed something was off too. No wonder Robert locked the door.They must have been drugged with an aphrodisiac.

But Arthur didn't say a word, just lay there toughing it out.

Ella, on the other hand, was having a way harder time. Her hands were all over her body, and everywhere she touched felt like it was on fire.

Arthur finally got out of bed and scooped Ella up, placing her on the bed.

Wherever Arthur touched, it tingled, making Ella's body go all soft. She knew something was up.

"Arthur, there's something wrong with the room," she said.

"Grandpa drugged us with an aphrodisiac," Arthur's voice was rough.

The drug was strong, and he was struggling too.

Ella was still squirming beneath him, trying to break free. Arthur was fighting his own desires and feeling pretty annoyed. In the past, Ella hadn't been like this in bed. All he could think about was her wanting a divorce, and he cursed silently. He moved closer, his big hand roaming over her body.

She decided, screw it, and flipped him over, pressing him down and kissing him hard.

After a long kiss, he let her go when she was almost out of breath.

Under the drug's influence, Ella looked at him with dazed eyes, her waist moving unconsciously against him.

Arthur chuckled, guiding her hand to his crotch.

He was already hard, and when Ella grabbed his dick, he let out a light moan.

He leaned into her ear, whispering, "Baby, move it."

Ella moved her hand up and down, feeling like she was on fire.

Finally, Arthur spread her legs, held himself, and entered her wet warmth.

They both sighed in satisfaction as he entered.

The drug was at its peak, igniting Arthur's desire.

Grabbing her waist, he began to thrust deeply, each one hitting her core. Ella had long forgotten her shyness,moaning passionately. All night long, Arthur didn'tlet up until she passed out from exhaustion. Afterwards, he had a satisfied smile on his face.Seeing Ella too tired to move, he carried her to the bathroom to clean her up.

The next morning,Ella woke up early.

The soreness in her body reminded her of the craziness of last night.

She quietly slipped out of Arthur's embrace.

After getting dressed, she tried to open the door.

Luckily,it was unlocked.

Ella, despite the soreness in her legs, walked downstairs and saw Robert sitting on the sofa.

"Grandpa, why are you up so early?" Ella asked, feeling a bit awkward remembering last night.

Robert smiled, "At my age, I don't need much sleep. Why don't you get some more rest? Where's Arthur?"

"Grandpa. I have something to do later. Arthur's still sleeping. I'll head back first and won't join you for breakfast."

Robert felt a twinge of disappointment but quickly recalled drugging them the night before, and his letdown dissipated. "Tll have the driver take you back." Ella nodded. This place was far from the city, and without the driver, she'd have to ask Lily to pick her up."Thank you, Grandpa. I'll come back to see you when I have time." Ella said obediently,saying goodbye to Robert.

"Judging by the sounds, Mrs. Smith and Mr. Smith slept very late. It seems you'll get your wish soon." The butler grinned, genuinely happy.

"That's good!" Robert said delightedly.

Meanwhile, Ella leaned back tiredly in the car.

"Mrs. Smith, where are we going?" The driver asked, looking in the rearview mirror.

Ella gave the address of Worry-Free Studio to the driver.

The driver acknowledged and started driving slowly.

With the warm light in the car, Ella felt a bit sleepy.

She didn't know how long the car had been moving when the driver woke her up.

Opening her eyes, she saw the car had stopped. Ella thanked the driver and got out. Walking to the entrance of Worry-Free Studio, Ella saw Lily calling her on the phone. She walked in and saw Lily standing there. Ella waved her phone, and then the call was hung up. "You didn't come back last night?" Lily asked, noticing Ella was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday.

She skipped over Arthur threatening her, not wanting to worry Lily.

"By the way, what did you want to tell me when you called earlier?" Ella changed the subject, seeing Lily wanted to ask more.

Ella nodded. "What time is the meeting?"

"Nine-thirty."

Lily checked the time;it was already past eight.

"Go get ready, and we'll head over."

Ella nodded and walked to the bathroom.

Ten minutes later, Ella came out of the bathroom.

Seeing Ella, Lily almost exclaimed in surprise.

Ella was wearing thick black-framed glasses, her face covered in freckles,

and her hair in two pigtails hanging on either side.It took her a while to recognize Ella. "Why did you make yourself look like this?" "Let's go." Ella walked up to Lily.Seeing her standing still. Ella raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong?"

"Yes,let's go."

Seeing her insistence, Lily let her be.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the meeting place.

Before getting out of the car, Ella took a baseball cap and mask from her bag,covering herself completely.

With only her eyes showing, no one would recognize her.
