Chapter 141 

The flashlight fell onto the grass , its beam sweeping away from Elysia’s eyes at last , 

“ Elysia ? ” Stellan’s voice carried a hint of uncertainty as he stepped forward quickly , reaching out to lift her from the ground .

“ What are you doing 

out here ? ” 

But he had underestimated both her physical injuries and the depth of her mistrURL .

 

The moment his hand brushed her arm , Elysia flinched violently , biting back the pain as she shrank away from him .

She wouldn’t even look at him , her head bowed , her silence screaming louder than words 

“ What’s wrong .

Elysia ? ” Stellan asked , his voice softening , though his concern didn’t waver 

Her rejection was undeniable , but he dismissed it easily , attributing her fear and defensiveness to the Drayton family’s endless cruelty .

 

He had witnessed it all — the abuse , the betrayal , the lies – all thanks to the virus he had discreetly planted on Rowena’s phone .

Every twisted plot Rowena had schemed was bid bare before him .

 

Elysia , however , had no idea how much he knew .

She had no reason to trust him , and she guarded herself as tightly as ever To Stellan , this distrust was almost laughable – she was Eke a fragile gem , battered and bruised , yet refusing the hand that reached to save her .

 

“ Listen , ” he said firmly , his hand brushing her head despite her recoiling 

His voice turned almost tender , coaxing .

They don’t want you anymore .

Come to my house instead .

Tll take care of you ? 

Elysia’s body went rigid , her head shapping up to meet his eyes .

 

They were nothing like the softness his words carried .

Instead , they were aggressive , almost predatory 

It lasted no more than a second before he quickly concealed himself , slipping back into the harmless façade – just as innocent as Rowena’s insincere mask 

Elysia pulled a thin smile across her lips , her voice barely a whisper as she said , 

Feigning confusion , Stellan tilted his head and asked , “ Why are you looking at me like that , Elysia ! I thought … after these past two years , we were friends .

Aren’t we ? ” 

Elysia thought , Friends .

He wasn’t wrong .

 

For two years , he had appeared at just the right moments when her father threatened to send her to a special school , when Rowena locked her outside the villa , when her brothers blamed her for everything .

Stellan had always been there , always willing to “ help ” 

A good friend indeed .

Good enough to know Elysia’s every move .

 

Elysia refused to lower her head under the weight of his hand .

Instead , she tilted her chin higher , her gaze locking with his as the pressure on her skull increased .

 

Even the faintest trace of pain seeped through , but she didn’t tinch .

 

[ Stellan , what’s wrong with you ? She already said no .

If you really want to help her , call the police .

) .

 

[ Exactly ! The Drayton family isn’t here right now , Call the cops , get the footage , and help Elysia turn this around ! I’m dying here just watching this .

[ Are you all blind ? Does this look like he’s trying to help ? Come on ] 

Stellan’s inaction spoke volumes .

He didn’t call for help .

He didn’t call an ambulance .

 

Elysia denched her fists , her breathing steady despite the pressure on her .

She reached down , grasping her ankle firmly .

 

In one swift motion , the twisted her dislocated leg back into place .

 

The sound of her bones snapping into alignment was sickening .

Even though she had mentally prepared herself , the pain was unbearable .

A sharp ery escaped her lips as sweat poured down her forehead .

 

Despite the agony .

Elysia gritted her teeth and attempted to stand , only for Stellan to push her back down .

 

“ Please , Mr.

Rookwood , let me go , she said , her voice steady but laced with steel .

Her defiant gaze pierced his 

Stellan’s face darkened at her words .

The polite formality of Mr.

Rookwood erased every trace of the kindness he had feigned .

His tone turned cold .

“ Is that how you address someone who has helped you ? Or … ” He paused , a bitter meer togging at his lips .

“ Is the Drayton family right about you ! Are you just an ungrateful brau 

Elysia’s face went pale .

Her hands trembled , but she raised them to swat his arm away .

Without another word , she limped toward the car door , dragging her injured leg behind her .

 

Stellan’s eyes glinted with fury as he watched her .

Just when the viewers thought he might let her go , he stepped forward and scooped her into his arms effortlessly .

 

“ What are you doing ? Let me down ! ” she yelled , thrashing weakly against him .

 

“ Stop moving .

I’m not taking you home , he replied , his voice sharp but calm .

I’m taking you to see Caellan , Don’t you want to know his condition ? He might already be dead .

” 

His words froze her protests .

Before she could respond , Stellan carried her to his white sports car , placing her inside before slamming the door .

 

The engine roared to life , and he floored the accelerator , the car rocketing forward like a missile .

The sheer speed pressed Elysia back against the seat , rendering her speechless 

OMG , Stellan is so manly .

So cool .

Elysia , just stop complaining and marry him ! If not let me take him 

[ Manly ! Cool ? He kidnapped her and shoved her into a cart Are we watching the same thing ? That wasn’t “ cool ” It was terrifying .

I nearly wet myself ] 

[ Honestly , I’m done with you broke folks You have no idea how much it hurt when Stellan shoved Elysia into that car , or when he sped down the read like a madman .

So cool , right almost wet myself from the fear ] 

Caellan’s face turned an ashen gray , his eyes blazing with fury as he glared at Stellan .

Tll let you off the hook this time , just because you did help my sister .

 

Stellan , still feeling guilty for not taking better care of Elysia back then , couldn’t help but feel a bat amused at Caellan’s words .

 

With a smirk of derision , he shot back , “ Who do you think you are , Carllan? Do you really think you have the right to take action on Elysia’s behalf ? And by the way I still have that video of you a couple of days ago , Licking Rowena’s boots and calling Elysia names .

Want me to remind you of in 

Caellan’s face darkened , and he let out a frustrated snort 

The scene now shifted to near Ridgewood Middle School 

Thanks to Stellan’s reckless speeding , he had managed to leave the Drayton family several blocks behind .

A large part of that was thanks to Rowenia , who pretended to be in pain , forcing Torin to slow down for her .

 

Maybe it was also because he still couldn’t believe Elysia could do something so utterly heartless .

 

But that didn’t matter .

His choice had always been to rely on others , from the beginning .

 

Finding Caellan wasn’t hard .

After a quick detour , they saw him – lying on the ground .

 

Ridgewood Middle School was located far from the city , in a quiet , desolate area .

With the students who boarded staying locked up on campus , no one paid any attention to the painful whimpers that escaped .

 

Elysia , still regaining her senses , instinctively reached for the car door , only to find it locked .

Not even the windows could be rolled down 

“ Open the door .

I want to get out ,” Elysia said .

Her tone safter now but still edged with resolve .

Her eyes , however , told a different sincy .

They were empty , devoid of hope .

 

Stellan thought .

It has been two years .

Even a dog would have learned to trust me .

Why did Elysia still treat me like a stranger , keeping me at arm’s length ! Have I not done enough for her ? Or have the wounds the suffered run so deep that she still holds some lingering attachment to those awful family members ?” 

If that was the case , then he couldn’t let her out of the car now , 

Stellan said , “ Elysia , why not wait a little longer ? After all , your brother and sister will be here soon , won’t they ! ” 

Elysia thought .

Yes , they would be coming soon .

But what if the first person Caellan saw was Rowena … ? 

At that moment, Elysia’s eyes became hollow , void of sound , her gaze both clear and numb with despair .

 

It was as if she could already see her future unfold before her – this indifferent young man would eventually become just like Torin Fenwick , someone who would come to despise her deeply , perhaps even more cruelly .

 

It would be nothing but endless pain and torment
