Chapter 3

CHAPTER THREE: Sacrifice Rigella's POV "W-What?" I asked weakly. She approached me and sat down next to me. "Ella, no matter what happens, don't come out, okay? Don't you ever come out..." She convinced me even though there was a trace of nervousness on her face. Depressed, I leaned back on the sofa I was sitting on. How did she know i was here at Roxanne's condo? Did Nanny Lisa tell him? And why is he here? Did I think he didn't care about me? Ivan was still knocking on the door so I was even more nervous. I also thought it was embarrassing for the people who lived here because they might be upset. Roxanne suddenly stood up. "I'll call the security. Just, don't come out." She said seriously to me and picked up her phone on the center table then stood up and walked away from me a bit. I was blown away by the wind. I can already feel the trembling of my hands and legs. I can't even admit I'm really scared. I'm afraid of what Ivan can do to me once he gets close to me. "RIGELLA! GET OUT OF THERE! D*MN, YOU'LL REALLY LOVE ME!" I heard Ivan shout from outside. I felt a tear stream from my left eye, and... one after the other. I'm crying again. I always ask myself sometimes, when will my tears end? When will the pain end? When will Ivan finally love me? But that thoughts immediately vanished when I heard what Roxanne have said while talking to someone on her phone ... "Yes... Make sure that man suffers, he doesn't feel sorry for Ella... No, do you want me to break the law? Don't kill-!" I cut off what she was going to say and approached her. "W-Who are you talking to?" I Chasing my breath question. She looked at me seriously and sighed. "Mafia..." She said sparingly in a cold voice. My eyes widened and my jaw dropped. "A what? You asked my brother for help?" I sadly said. Now I'm starting to get nervous for Ivan. She blinked and closed her eyes firmly. "Yes. Why, Rigella? You thought I believed in your excuse earlier where did you get it from? No, I first knew when Ivan did that. Also, he must suffer all the pain that he did it to you. Ryan offered to help so why would I refuse? " she asked with a raised eyebrow. I was so bitten on my lower lip. What if...what if they kill Ivan? I can't... I also don't want to lose Ice's father. I sighed before speaking. "I-I'm going out..." I saw the masculinity of Roxanne's eyes and she held my arm. " Are you f*cking crazy? Maybe what will he do to you! Just wait for Ryan's staff and they will save that animal." She said again. I shuddered and my vision was blurred with tears. "N-No... call them again. Don't continue what you're planning please... I feel sorry for you, Ivan is my life. It's as if you killed me when you continue that..." I sobbed. Roxanne pulled her hair and I saw that she was crying too. "What is it, Rigella?! That's right oh! Don't be too much of a martyr, okay! Just get rid of that fcker! We're just having a hard time pretending you're stupid!" It was as if something had touched my heart when she shouted that at me while sobbing as she sat on the floor. She is also affected by what is happening to me. Why is life so complex? Can't I be happy? Even just once? Even just for a moment? "I-I'm sorry Roxy... I'm sorry, best friend..." I had a hard time saying because of the sob. I approached her and hugged her. I was about to walk to the door when she stopped me with a grip on my arm. "N-No... you're not coming out. You're just here... you're just here!" I close my eyes when I see her tears. I removed her grip on my arm and wiped away her tears. I swallowed. "I'm... I'm sorry but I love him, I love Ivan and I can't stand if something bad happens to him-" She cut off what I was going to say. "Even if you get hurt, is that so? Even if you get hurt again?" She stopped crying and looked at me seriously. I bowed and nodded slowly. "Yes, even if I'm the one who gets hurt and hurt, just don't let him. I love him like that, Roxy. So please, let me out, please... best friend?" Shee closed her eyes sharply and sighed. "The luck of that shamelessness is yours. You love him so much to the point that you can sacrifice yourself for him. Just in case, he never realized that. Tsk! Oh he, go ahead. Get out of here, as if I can stop you there. Just call me right away when something happens, huh? Be careful. " She said worriedly so I smiled at her. "Of course, Roxanne. All right, I'll be out. You know that Ivan, he's very impatient. Thanks for the concern, best friend. I love you." I smiled and said that she would smile too. "I love you too, best friend. Remember?" I smiled at her one last time and walked towards the door. I could only hear loud knocking, not like before. I was actually nervous because I knew when I opened the door he would hurt me again. But that's okay, even if I'm the one hurt, just don't let him. Shaking my hand touched the door knob. I closed my eyes tightly as I slowly turned it and opened it. I opened my eyes and saw the serious Ivan looking at me seriously as he gasped for breath and messed up his hair. I could also smell the smell of wine wafting into his perfume. Trembling crept into my chest as I saw the anger in his eyes. I was surprised when he stretched out my arm and I winced because his grip was so tight. "Let's go home..." he said and pushed me away from Roxanne's unit. To be continued...
