Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules Novel

Chapter 53 Chapter 53 Joycelyn didnt speak , her hands gripping the door handle as she pressed her whole body against the door from the inside .

trying to block Ellison from entering .

Unfortunately , the door couldnt be locked , and with the vast difference in strength between them .

Ellison simply twisted the handle .

The door creaked open just a crack , and Ellisons stern , intense gaze peered through the small opening .

Joycelyn lifted her eyes to meet his and asked , Whats going on ? If you need something , just text me .

She was about to have a heart attack .

With her mask on , only her terrified eyes were visible , full of resistance .

Change your clothes and come back , Ellisons voice was firm and unyielding , leaving no room for argument .

Alright … I drove here .

If you leave first , Ill be right behind … Joycelyns voice trembled , betraying her fear .

Ellison didnt let go , his tall frame almost level with the doorframe , radiating an aura of calm authority that made it impossible to look away .

His expression was emotionless , but his deep , cold eyes gave off an unmistakable pressure , as though an invisible force hovered over Joycelyns head .

Il leave now , she quickly corrected herself .

Outside , Haddy watched , confused , as Ellison stood silently outside the janitors closet door .

Whats going on with Ellison ? Did that hotel cleaner do something to upset him ? Haddy had never seen his friend like this and was about to step forward to intervene .

Leon immediately grabbed him , chewing his food , and in a half laughing , half serious tone wamed , Please , dont Why ? Haddy looked at him with soft , questioning eyes .

Dont get involved , Leon shook his head vigorously , signaling for him to stay back .

Haddy noticed something was off and frowned slightly .

Look at that figure , the cleaner must be the woman from the party earlier .

Shes quite young , Ellison wouldnt make things difficult for a staff member .

Leon suddenly shot him a sly look .

Haddys eyebrows furrowed .

What do you mean ? Could it be … ? Leon nodded vigorously .

Exactly what youre thinking , he said , sneaking a mischievous grin .

Wait , but isnt Ellison already married ? Haddy asked , his voice turning uncertain .

Could it be thats his wife ? Otherwise , why would he just stand there for so long ? Leon swallowed the fruit in his mouth and dropped a bombshell .

Haddy froze .

He had been about to walk up , but now stopped in his tracks .

Hey , are we cutting the cake ? Wheres Ellison ? Cecilias voice broke through as she was sent by Ruby to check on the situation .

17:11 de , 11 Feb #BO Chapter 53 The corridor was quiet , so Cecilias voice rang out clearly , Joycelyn , hearing her voice , immediately slammed the door shut with all her strength .

Ellison stood silently , speechless .

Cecilia , hearing the noise , tilted her head curiously , trying to get a glimpse but only saw Ellison standing outside Unfortunately , Haddy and Leon were both too tall to let her see anything else .

He went to the bathroom .

Hell be back soon , Haddy replied to Cecilia while turning around .

Cecilia , blushing at the sight of Haddys charming face , responded , Oh , okay … Inside the janitors closet , Joycelyn kept blocking the door .

When she saw the shadow under the door wasnt leaving , she hurriedly urged , Go , please go .

She was shaken , sweating from the shock .

Ellison took a deep breath , then turned and walked toward the bathroom .

Once the shadow was gone , Joycelyn exhaled in relief and clutched her chest , nearly fainting from the fear .

Just as she thought the danger had passed , the door handle suddenly turned again .

A strong force pushed against the door from the outside .

What now ? Ill be right back , just go ahead , Joycelyn startled , instinctively blocking the door , her voice soft .

What ? Its me , Joycelyn , Selenes voice came from outside .

Joycelyn stiffened , already feeling like she would be scared to death any moment Oh … Her mind went into a whirl , and she quickly opened the door .

Selene stood there , confused , looking down the quiet hallway and asking , Who were you talking to just now ? In times of tension , people tend to act busy .

Joycetyn adjusted her mask and hair , trying to calm herself as she replied , I was about to change , I thought someone was at the door .

Selene gave her a puzzled look before glancing at the empty corridor .

Joycelyn immediately switched the topic , Didnt you go to listen to some gossip ? Whats the latest ? Were cutting the cake now .

Aurelia said well hang out after shes done .

We should change our clothes too .

Mm .

Joycelyn nodded softly in agreement .

She turned her phone to silent , worried about Ellison calling her.

At this point , she didnt dare return to the party , afraid of making a fool of herself in front of him .

As the birthday party neared its end , the guests were no longer in the relaxed mood they had when they arrived , and everyone was eager to leave .

Kie , I Chapter 33.

* 51 % # Except for Ruby and her friends .

Ruby , still tear streaked , wore a white shawl .

The couple outfits she had insisted on earlier now seemed like a joke , but she couldnt change them immediately .

Ellison stood with a heavy presence , looking at his phone with an air of regal composure that made everyone around him uneasy .

Ruby nervously approached , her voice soft as she called , Ellison ….

Ellison ignored her , still checking his phone .

He had sent two messages , but received no reply , and the lack of response made him irritated .

Ruby , seeing his indifference , wanted to give up but couldnt help but feel drawn to him .

She still wanted to make things right .

Ellison , about the graduation reunion , I was wrong .

Its been years , so please dont stay mad at me , she spoke gently , almost as if trying to soothe an upset boyfriend .

Unfortunately , Joycelyn overheard this intimate confession as she rummaged through her bag for the car keys .

She was about to blend in with the crowd when the words hit her .

She instinctively looked up .

Just in time to meet Ellisons piercing gaze .

For a moment , she felt as if her soul had been caught in his eyes .

When she saw Ruby behind him , she wasted no time .

Grabbing her bag , she bolted away , avoiding any contact , not giving Ellison a chance to speak .

She quickly merged with the departing guests , making it clear she wasnt interested in any of this .

Ellisons eyes narrowed dangerously as he watched her hurry away , his anger boiling over .

He turned to Ruby , his voice cold and irritated , Youre too loud .

Are you still mad at me ? Ruby asked , her eyes filling with tears , her face full of hurt .

Im not interested in your apologies or romantic drama , Ellisons tone was icy as he walked away , dialing Joycelyns number and heading for the elevator .
