Jared cupped her cheeks as he pressed his forehead against hers. “How rude of you. You didn’t even inform me that you came back,” he said hoarsely.
Ellen blinked and explained awkwardly, “I’m here to participate in the tournament. I’m not here on a trip.” “Don’t you want to share with me after you have won the championship?” “I was afraid that you might be busy.” Ellen pursed her lips.
“Even if I’m busy, I can still find the time to celebrate with you,” Jared said exasperatedly. He could tell that she was making up an excuse, and the real reason was that she didn’t want to see him.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. It must be the hotel staff, Ellen thought. Then, she said to Jared, “I’ll go and get the fruit.” After that, she opened the door and saw a young, elegant man standing there.
He was Hendrix O’rion, one of the chess players. Hendrix heard that Ellen was also staying at this hotel. Since he would be leaving by tomorrow, he wanted to greet her and talk about chess. Moreover, he liked her. “Hi!” Hendrix waved at her.
“Hello.” Ellen smiled. “I’m sorry to bother you at this hour, Miss Reiss. I really admire you and wish that we could play together sometime later. Is it okay if I get your number?’ asked Hendrix.
Before Ellen could say anything, a cold male voice replied, “No.”
When Hendrix heard the voice, he was startled. When he saw a handsome man come out of the room, he asked curiously, “Miss Reiss, who is this man?” Tm her boyfriend, Jared announced without hesitation.
Ellen was speechless. On the other hand, Hendrix was disappointed. I had asked her teammates, and none said she had a boyfriend. What’s going on?
“We will meet again at the next match, Mr.. O’rion, Ellen said politely. “I see. I’ll take my leave now.” Hendrix left awkwardly. As soon as the door was closed, Ellen heard Jared say sulkily. “As expected. You have more admirers after a year!”
Hearing his words, Ellen felt funny and looked at him. “What about you? I’m sure your admirers are more than mine, right?”
Jared didn’t answer her. No matter what, he was upset when he saw that other men were looking for Ellen. He even wondered if she would have invited Hendrix into her room and bonded their relationship if he hadn’t come..
“Since you are back now, are you going to leave again? As Jared spoke, he walked over to the trophy. When he saw it, he was happy for her. After all, he had never expected her to be able to bag a trophy.
“I’m not planning to leave anytime soon. I still have a television interview to attend,” Ellen replied truthfully.
“It looks like you were pursuing your dream in the past year.” Jared gave her a look of appraisal. “Yes, chess is indeed my dream. I found what I was looking for.” Ellen nodded.
“That’s good. Otherwise, I won’t be able to accept the fact that you will be leaving me again.” Jared looked at her with a darkened gaze. His eyes were filled with upset, sadness, and resignation.
‘I’m sorry.” Ellen apologized. She knew he was hurt by the way she bid goodbye. “It’s fine. I’m not a petty person. I’ll forgive you, but on one condition. My next ten meals are on you.”
“Ten meals?” Ellen blinked in confusion. “Don’t worry. You can take me to a cheap restaurant. I won’t make you go bankrupt,” replied Jared.
“It’s fine if you want that, but… won’t your girlfriend be upset about it?” asked Ellen as she bit her lip. He must be dating that girl whom he hugged at his office! Ellen thought.
“Girlfriend?” Jared squinted his eyes and thought, When did I ever have a girlfriend?
Hearing his question, Ellen nodded her head seriously. “Which one?” Jared raised his eyebrow and asked.
Ellen’s eyes widened when she heard his words. “How many girlfriends do you have?”
“Not much. I only have one.” As Jared spoke, he pointed at her and said, “That’s you.”
At that moment, Ellen’s mind went blank. Wait for a second. Does that mean that the woman he hugged isn’t his girlfriend? No, I can’t let him know about this. Otherwise, he will give me a scolding! I would rather treat him to ten meals! Thinking about it, she said, “Ten meals, right? No problem!” She was quick to respond.
“This room is too cramped. I’m going to tell them to give you a better room,” Jared suggested, wishing she would stay in a comfier place. “It’s fine. I think this is just perfect. Plus, it’s getting late. Why don’t you go home and take a rest?” Ellen said. Jared pointed to her ceiling and replied, “I’m staying on the top floor. Just call me if anything happens.”
“Okay.” Ellen nodded and didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. They had not seen each other for more than a year! Thus, they were not as close as they used. To be.
However, Jared didn’t want to leave. At that moment, he took out his phone and took a picture of Ellen’s trophy. After that, he took another selfie while smiling as he held the trophy. His handsome face matched the golden trophy well!
Looking at his actions, Ellen was shocked. After all, even she was way past the age of taking cute selfies. After taking the selfie, Jared uploaded it to his social media.
‘Guess who the owner of the trophy is? Bingo. It is my girlfriend’s, he wrote.
Just like that, he announced his relationship with Ellen. Plus, the trophy was titled the champion of this year’s chess tournament. Hence, anyone would be able to know who the winner of the tournament was as long as they searched for it.
“What did you post? Ellen asked in curiosity. When Jared heard her words, he immediately. closed his phone and put it in his pocket. “Nothing. I’ll be going now. Get some rest!”
When he arrived at the door, he turned around and reminded her. ‘Don’t open the door for any men tonight.” Ellen was speechless and thought that he was such a dominant man.
After Jared had left Ellen’s room, he breathed at sigh of relief and looked at the door.
His eyes were like a predator had its eyes on its prey. I won’t let her escape again, he thought. In the meantime, Ellen was also relieved as she had a smile on her lips. For unknown reasons, she felt that it was easier for her to face him, and it felt great.
Selena showed her arm to Olivia, revealing a bruise, indicating that she was severely beaten. Looking at the bruise, Olivia was heartbroken. “Let’s go home, Lena. You don’t have to go through this anymore.”
Connor was also distressed when he saw Selena’s condition. It’s good that she had finally ended her days in prison. I’ll make sure that she does well in the future.
Thinking about it, Connor told her, “Look past the future and live a brand new life,Lena.”
When Selena heard his voice, she looked at him. Truthfully, she hated him. After all, not only did he cheat on Olivia, but he was also the reason why she was in jail. If he could find Ellen, she wouldn’t be in jail. As Selena thought about it, she asked hoarsely, “Dad! Did you find Ellen? Where is she?”
“You just came out of jail, Lena. Don’t try to do anything stupid. We have already cut ties with her. Why are you still looking for her?”
“She is the reason I’m in jail. Who does she think she is to make me pay such a huge price? I hate her. I will never forgive her.” Selena screamed hysterically.
Olivia would have encouraged Selena to take her revenge if it was the past. However, Ellen was not the same as before. Olivia knew that she was not someone to be messed with anymore.
After all, she had just won the championship in chess, which meant she had strong backing. Thus, she didn’t want her daughter to risk it. “Come on, Lena. Let’s go home,” Olivia pleaded, left with no choice.
Selena could endure the days when being in jail because there was a strong emotion supporting her. It was the hatred toward Ellen. Hence, she would never be able to forgive Ellen. No matter what, she would find Ellen, even if everyone stopped her.
When Ellen woke up the next morning, her phone buzzed with the daily news, as
Ellen liked reading the news. Suddenly, she was intrigued by the title.

Immediately, Ellen clicked into the news. When she saw the article, her eyes widened in disbelief. She saw Jared’s social media had a selfie of him with a trophy, which was hers. Moreover, he wrote that she was his girlfriend.
Is this why he wouldn’t let me see what he posted yesterday? Why didn’t he inform me about it? Soon, the media reported on this matter.
Initially, everyone had their eyes on Ellen. because she was the chess champion. Now that Jared had made such huge news, her name was all over the internet. There were many videos of her during the tournament, and the netizens were discussing her.
‘She is gorgeous! She looks so friendly!” ‘Good Lord! How can she be so talented? I love her looks. She is a natural beauty. ‘She looks like a celebrity. Not only is she good- looking, but she is also talented.”
