"God! I overslept. It's almost eight o'clock."
Ellard gasped in surprise, looking at the dark sky from the window of his room. He immediately jumped off the long sofa, where he was lying down earlier.
"Arella must have been waiting for me for a long time. I need to get ready to go right now." Ellard glanced at the screen of her phone. He was surprised because there was not a single notification from Arella.
"Why didn't he call? Was he intentionally waiting for me to call first?" Ellard frowned. "God! Don't-don't-don't she's mad because I'm late and there's no news." The man then hurriedly called Arella.
"The number you are going to is wrong. Please check your destination number."
"Well, what's wrong, anyway?"
Ellard tried to call Arella many times. But the result remains the same. The number cannot receive phone calls.
"This is true of his number. Why can't I contact you, huh? Bizarrely. Can't she trick me?"
Ellard started to feel something strange about Arella. Start from an account that suddenly changes. A cake shop that has been renovated. Arella is about to give him the gift of a luxury ship
He checked his M-banking. The balance in his account was still a hundred thousand. That means there's no money in his account yet. Arella promised to solve financial problems this afternoon.
"Wait on! He is a successful businessman. There's no way he's lying to me like that. He must be out of reach now. Just like when he left the country."
Ellard kept trying to be kind to his business partner. He tried to think clearly and find a way out of this problem.
Brak!
"Ellard, call the bank and ask, can my card limit be raised again?"
Lilith, who had just returned home from shopping, threw her bag over the sofa. High heelsnya he threw to any place. His face looks dull and exhausted.
"Huh! I was embarrassed to pay for a bag at a luxury store, because my card was rejected. He said the balance was not enough anymore" Lilith told her husband.
"Lick! He doesn't know, if half of his savings have been drained?" Ellard gulped without responding to his wife's sentence.
"Darling, why are you quiet? Come quickly phone. very nice even though the goods are the only one. If I get the bag, I can show Arella and the other socialites later."
Lilith clucked in annoyance while commanding the husband to comply with his wishes immediately. His attitude was really arrogant, like a Queen who wanted to be served by her servants.
"Hey! Stop shopping. Do you know how to just squander money?" Ellard's sudden impact, made Lilith jump in shock.
"What's? You scolding me? You've forgotten your promise when you get married first, that it'll always make me happy?" Lilith replied to Ellard's scuffling violently.
"Fuck my promise first. You also did not keep your promise to me. Now is not the time to waste money. Because things are more important than that" Ellard replied fiercely.
"What is more important than my problem?" lilith won't lose.
"Ah stop! How rich you can understand."
Ellard put on his jacket and took the keys to the car. Without caring for Lilith, she then left the apartment in a hurry.
"Well, what is this?"
Lilith's eyes caught a small paper bag on the bookshelf. He also saw the contents.
"Crazy! A fancy bracelet? Is this really the real vivid blue diamond?"
Lilith's smile expanded on her face. He thought that the gift was for him. But that smile only lasted a second. After that his happiness was lost, when he saw a name engraved on the inside of the gold bracelet and expensive diamonds.
"Arella Andzelika? Is this for Arella? Since marriage, she has never given me a gift." Lilith snorted an annoyed and disappointed breath.
"Wait on! This thing could be mine, if I exchange it for money. Then with that money, I can buy that expensive bag."
Asa Lilith who had faded, now reappeared. He was going to sell the jewelry, not knowing that it was purchased using his own money.
...***...
"Who? Arella Andzelika's? There's never a tenant here in that name."
Apartment officials have checked the names of all customers who have stayed in the luxury apartment many times. However, the name mentioned by Ellard still never registered as a tenant of the apartment there, even though it was only a day.
"Duh, you must have typed the name wrong. That's why it didn't show up" Ellard protested.
"Sir, even I just type hutuf 'A', the name Arella Andzelika still does not appear" said the female official insistent.
"But he and I have stayed here. Precisely in the room of five hundred and fifty," urged Ellard as he spoke in a high tone.
"That's more impossible. Since the fifth floor is here, there are only four rooms. And every floor in this building, the maximum has only sixteen rooms. You must be wrong hotel and apartment," obviously the woman did not want to lose.
"I'm sure he lives here. Because I've been here a few times. Check the CCTV," Ellard said.
"Sorry, Sir. If not for criminal cases, we are prohibited from indiscriminately showing CCTV footage to anyone. So please come back here again with the police, then we will check all the CCTV and look for the woman you mentioned earlier" said the female employee.
"Ck! Sucks. He thinks I'm just a poor guy whose job is cheating? Until it must be told to bring the police all," said Ellard as he left the apartment.
"If you want to look for him in the office of the company where he works, now there is definitely no one. There is nowhere else I can go to look for it. Wanted to call his office, no one picked him up either."
Ellard sat down on the steps of the apartment entrance. Some security officers kicked him out, thinking he was a bum. It was almost ten in the evening, and Ellard had not filled her stomach at all.
His current thoughts were a mansion and villa located on the edge of the hills and the beach, which he had visited with Arella and Lilith before. Maybe he can find out about Arella to the people there.
But it's been a very night. The mansion's place was also quite a distance away. Ellard can't go there without any capital. While giving up hope, Ellard again tried to call Arella.
"The number you are going to is wrong. Please check your destination number."
"Basic bastards!" Ellard cursed loudly, while kicking the stairs with his left foot. "Where are all my buildings? Then my money?" The man was really stressed, because he was trapped in Arella's game.
