A few years later.
Ella enjoyed her nap in the tree. The wind blew her few strands of hair that had fallen from her braids.
"Ella, have you prepared Mr. Edrwad's horse?" A middle-aged man shouted at her from under the tree.
"Today's not the schedule, Jason. As far as I know, the day after tomorrow." Ella explained.
"Didn't you hear earlier from Alvin, young master wants to ride now? Hurry down, now! Remember you are here to work, not to sleep." Jason said irritably.
Ella took out her textbook, which she placed over her face, to block out the sun. Her round eyes began to glance at Jason, who was still staring in annoyance. Ella jumped swiftly without fail.
Jason was a little amazed, but he quickly covered it in front of Ella. The little girl had grown to maturity. Now she was eighteen years old. Ella also works part-time for the Huxley family after school.
Help Jason take care of the Huxley family's garden and some of the horses.
"With a jump like that, you should be able to become a circus performer. Instead of working here." Jason quipped.
Ella took the rope and shovel that she put on the side of the tree.
"You look jealous, don't you, Jason? Because you'll be retiring soon. And I'll take your place." Ella quickly put the rope on her shoulders and carried a heavy shovel that she put on her back.
"Come on, Hercules! Come here. Hi handsome, how are you?" Said Ella stroking the big black horse. She stroked the horse's hair slowly.
Hercules slightly brought his mouth closer to Ella's face. The horse was very tame with her.
"Now it's time to play, OK. Are you ready?" Ella asked and looking into the horse's black eyes. The horse whinnied a little, excited to be able to get out of the stable.
Edward Huxley is a handsome twenty-one-year-old man. While sitting and relaxing to enjoy the apple juice, Edward was ready to put on all his horse gear. His face was more grim than usual. Ella doesn't know what annoyed him today.
"Good Afternoon, Mr. Huxley." Ella never dared to look directly at her master. She always bowed politely. Ella still remembered her first encounter with her master, and it didn't leave a good impression.
But for horse riding, Edward entrusts his beloved horses to Ella to have well cared for it. And Edward told Ella to be ready to accompany him when he rode. So that he wouldn't bother shouting Ella's name when he needed something.
"Hercules, he is ready to wait, Mr. Huxley," said Ella.
"Looks like you took good care of him." Praise Edward, even though he still sounded arrogant. Edward also looked at Hercules, patted him slowly as if he was also giving praise to Hercules.
Edward began to ride his horse, the Huxley's own a large backyard. It was a bit far from their luxurious mansion.
Ella still stared in amazement at Hercules, but she didn't dare look at her master.
For her, Edward was like someone who should not be touched, because Edward had an unruly temper.
Once, Ella made a mistake when taking care of his beloved horses.
Edward sentenced her to sleep in a haystack for a night. Edward had also cut Ella's salary just because she accidentally collided with him, and there were many more punishments she had ever received.
Behind his handsome face, Edward is a scary monster. A person who is arrogant, very selfish, and has no feelings.
A tall, beautiful young woman with blonde hair suddenly appeared. Also looked at Edward, who was still riding.
"Good afternoon, Miss. Rose." Ella greeted politely, looking at Edward's lover, who was like a model.
"Afternoon, Ella. Has Edward been riding for a long time?" Rose asked.
Ella noticed that Rose was wearing clothes that were quite revealing to her chest, with pants that Ella thought were too tight.
"He's been riding for almost an hour," Ella answered.
Edward realized the presence of his lover. He slowed the horse's steps and approached Rose, who smiled seductively at him.
Edward got off his horse, and as usual, Ella was ready to give him a bottle of water.
"Please," Said Ella giving him a drinking bottle. Edward quickly took it without looking at Ella's face.
"Honey, I heard something upset you today?" asked Rose, puffing out her chest.
Ella grabbed the reins that Edward had given her.
"You know about that?" Edward asked in disbelief. Rose touched Edward's cheek with both hands. Her gaze still teased Edward, who was still sweating.
"Don't be too pissed off. I'm still here. Shall we have a party?" Said Rose teasingly and brought her face closer to Edward.
"Hmm... You know how to make me happy, don't you?" Said, Edward.
"I heard that your parents were traveling out of town. Isn't the timing so perfect?" Rose flirted again and kissed Edward once against the lips.
Edward only grinned widely. He was captivated by Rose's temptation. Quickly he kissed Rose back, and they were already busy in their kiss.
Ella slowly walked backward, leaving behind her master and his lover, who were still busy with their intimacy.
Hercules has returned to his cage.
"Oh ... Edward, how about we throw a party?" Ella tried to imitate Rose's voice and style.
"Oh ..., you sure do know how to make me happy, don't you." This time Ella mimicked Edward's voice.
Hercules neighed at Ella, "That looks funny, doesn't it." Said Ella.
"Let's make a bet. How long will Rose last with Edward?" Ella looked at Hercules, "One month, you will see. Next month he will take a new woman again."
"You remember Martha's – last come before Rose, even she only lasted two weeks with Edward. Maybe because her chest is not as big as Rose." Ella laughed with amusement at her words. Hercules neighed again as if to confirm Ella's statement.
"For me? I just want a handsome prince who loves me for who I am. Like a fairy tale Cinderella."
"You know Hercules, her last name is similar to mine, right?" Ella smiled with satisfaction and leaning on the side of the cage, staring at her clothes that were starting to get dirty with dirt.
"Hhh ?? But where is there a handsome prince who wants to be with me? Look at me! It's pathetic, isn't it." Said Ella looking at Hercules, who was back whinnying softly.
"At least, I want to make my mom happy first." Ella looked back at Hercules
