Chapter 1. Family Debt Redemption

Sometimes I expect myself to disappear from this cruel world. Every night all I do is cry over a world that feels so dark. Is it possible that if I disappeared everything would feel better? Often speechless and thinking about whether this is my place. Because it feels like I'm here completely alone. - Ella Quinza

A twenty-five-year-old woman was curled up against her bedroom window. Staring out there, looking at the dark sky of the night. After getting insults from her stepmother as well as her biological father. For he would not accept the arranged marriage that her father commanded.

It's not about arranged marriages, rather Ella is being sold by her own father. In order to make up for the debts of her father's company, which was about to go bankrupt. Ella Quinza, is the biological daughter of this family. But her father never once sided with her. Even though her father knew that the person who was betrothed to Ella was Mr. Boy Raymond. People call him Mr. Boy.

A billionaire as well as the CEO of a Junior Group company. Everyone knows who is in the country. He is an influential and powerful person. Not only in this country, but also in all other corners of the world. Because Junior Group has been famous for it's name in various European countries such as England, America, and the Netherlands.

Companies engaged in marketing, also sell products such as skincare and packaged foods that are exported to various countries. But behind the success of the Junior Group company, in fact, the person named Mr. Boy Raymond is a mobster from a group of people in dark business people.

A rare thing that is hardly even known to everyone. But Ella knew it because she had figured it out for herself. Her family also knew of the news. Mr. Boy is a notorious and ruthless person. But no one can recognize his true face. Because he never showed his face to everyone. Only Jo's secretary is known to people. He was both his secretary and subordinate.

"I shouldn't have to pay a hacker to find out the identity of that person. I don't know ... whether he will survive or not. Please forgive me, hacker Lim," Ella said sadly.

Ella feels sorry that she has created new problems with others. Involving that person with a Boy Raymond. Because no one has ever survived after finding out the identity of Mr. Boy. But Lim's hackers work well and professionally. Although knew it would take his own life. He said he would go directly abroad after this. But somehow whether he would survive or not. If not, then Ella will feel very guilty for Lim's hackers.

Tok tok tok!

Suddenly the sound of knocking on the door of Ella's room was knocked from outside. Ella instantly wiped away her still wet tears on both cheeks.

"Yes?" said Ella from the inside.

"When are you going to come down? Mr. Boy's secretary has already come to pick you up for dinner with him at the hotel. You didn't forget, did you? Not to make your Dad embarrassed." A baritone's voice came from outside the door of Ella's room. What turned out to be her father who called her.

Ella let out a long sigh. She then moved up from that window. Not to forget Ella closed it tightly. Her footsteps walked close to the door.

Kriek!

The door to the room opened, Ella looked at her father's face with a flat expression.

"Okay, Dad." The answer Ella gave seemed to resign herself to the circumstances.

A smile carved out on her father's face. The middle-aged man raised his hand and stroked Ella's long golden brown hair. Ella never dyed her hair. From birth, her hair has been so colored. But people don't believe in Ella's real hair color.

"Be prepared and wear good clothes. So that you can attract Mr. Boy's attention. Dad wait for you to come down," the father told her as she walked down the stairs. Ella looked at her father's increasingly distant back invisible. After that she re-entered the room and prepared to leave with Mr. Boy's secretary.

"Eventually I'll still give myself to that man," Ella muttered sadly.

Moments later, Ella came out from inside her room. She was ready and neatly dressed in sober clothes. Her footsteps walked back down the steps. From a distance her eyes saw a burly man standing under the stairs along with her father, stepmother and stepsister.

Where did Ella's biological mother go? Since the age of five, Ella's biological mother has died and breathed her last in the hospital. The thing that made Ella slumped after accepting the death of her mother at a fairly young age. But a few months later, her father came home with a woman with a daughter who was not much different in age from her.

She is Julia, the half-sister who has robbed Ella of happiness in her own home. Yes, since her coming to that house with her mother, Ella has felt alienated. Even her father's attention has been diverted only to Julia.

"Well, take a look. What a beautiful daughter Mom!" praised stepmother Ell with her mask face.

The woman was acting in front of Mr. Boy's secretary and her husband. But in hindsight, Ella was mistreated by her and her daughter, Julia.

"In that case, I and Miss Ella excuse me. Our young master is already waiting at the hotel," the secretary told Ella and her family. No, rather on his father. Because Ella never felt that she had a family in this house.

A wry smile carved a light on Ella's face. But a cheerful smile was etched on the face of Julia, her half-sister and stepmother. Because the two of them were the most waiting people for Ella's exit from this house. Moreover, they knew that the man who was going to marry Ella was Mr. Boy.

"Well, good luck. I leave a respectful greeting to Mr. Boy," ella's father said. Secretary Jo just retorted with a small nod, and then walked ahead of Ella.

"Dad ... am I," Ella said dangling.

"Never mind, you shouldn't linger here. Mr. Boy must have gotten tired of waiting for you there. Let's hurry up, go and get in the car. Remember one thing, never demonize your Father's good name on Mr. Boy. Dad hopes you have to know how to reciprocate your parents," the father chattered.

"Of course I know, what Dad likes and doesn't," Ella retorted weakly.

"Good. Go, before the secretary gets angry," her father slurled.

"Get ready to live with the psychopathic guy, Ella. You'd better eat a lot tonight. Who knows, after marrying him you can't eat delicious food anymore. But you're already in hell there. Hahaha!" snapped Julia suddenly whispering the words in Ella's ear.

"Luckily, my daughter Julia wasn't chosen by him," continued stepmother Ella whispering little behind there. But Ella still heard it very clearly.

"This is called fate, Mother. Your daughter's fate has always been good, right. I'm curious about Mr. Boy's face. It must be that his face is very ugly and ugly. He must also be a creepy old man. Hiks, I'm so scared!" scolded Julia acting sadly but seemingly dismissive and insulting Ella. But Ella did not reply to her, she ignored the humiliation given by her half-sister.
