Midnight Call Ch 49
Tiffany’s expression froze. She pushed Elijah away, tears instantly welling up in her eyes. “Who were you just calling?”
Elijah snapped back to reality, panic washing over hitt as he saw her tear streaked face
He suddenly realized that when he kissed Tiffany, all he could think about was Kendall, and the memories of their sweetness and passion crashed over him like a storm.[]
He panicked, his voice hoarse. “It’s nothing. Just get some sleep.“[]
But Tiffany wouldn’t let it go. She grabbed his arm, her voice trembling. “Do you think I’m not good enough? Do you believe those photos and think I’m dirty?“[]
Elijah paused, wiping away her tears with a steady hand. “No, it’s just that I’m not ready.”
“Not ready?” Tiffany’s voice was hurt and confused. “If you like me, don’t you want to possess me? Then why do you even like me?”||
Elijah looked at her, his expression distant. “Because you saved that cat stuck in the tree.“]
Tiffany’s face changed in an instant.]]
Her eyes flickered a hint of deceit in her voice. “That cat…“]]
She didn’t save the cat out of kindness. She wanted revenge because it had scratched her.
Before she could finish, the doorbell rang.]
Elijah frowned and got up to answer the door. A deliveryman stood there, holding a big box.
“Mr. Trevor, this is a package from Miss Finn for you. Please sign here.“]
Elijah’s heart skipped a beat, his fingers trembling slightly.[]
He took the box, signed for it, and as he closed the door, he eagerly opened it.[]
The box was filled with his things from the apartment–razors, clothes, books, and even a photo of him and Kendall together. Each item felt like it carried her essence, evoking a bittersweet pang in his chest.[]
He sorted through the items until he found a voice recorder at the bottom. He hesitated before pressing play.[]
The recorder crackled to life, playing a conversation between Kendall and Tiffany.[]
Tiffany said arrogantly, “Alright, now that Elijah) isn’t here, you can drop the act. I came here to tell you that Elijah has liked me for years, since high school. You won’t win him over, so stop wasting your efforts.“[]
Kendall replied, “I know all that. I never wanted to compete with you.“]
“Never wanted to? Then why are you still hanging around? You really think Elijah would be into you? I’ve seen plenty of gold diggers. like you. He’s probably tired of you by now.[]
“And what about you, indulging your own sexual proclivities in Eurpoland and pretending to be innocent back here? What a bitch!“[]

“What does that have to do with you?“[]
“So it’s true, then?“[]
“What if it is? I told you it’s none of your business. You should just find a decent guy to marry, or you might end up childless and lonely forever. Even if he knows, it doesn’t matter. He likes me, and he’ll accept everything about me. If he doesn’t, he should be angry, not running to you. Kendall, don’t think you can take him from me. He will always be mine.“]
The voices on the recorder were cold and piercing, like daggers stabbing into Elijah’s heart. His hands shook, and his face turned pale.[]
Tiffany stood behind him, as white as a sheet. Her voice trembled as she pleaded, “Elijah, this isn’t true. Someone is framing me.“]
Elijah spun around, throwing the recorder at her. His voice was laced with suppressed rage. “Tiffany, stop lying. Do you really think I’m that easy to fool?”
Tiffany recoiled from his gaze, tears streaming down her face. “Elijah, I can explain it. Those things… It was my parents who pressured me. They forced me to please those men. I had no choice. I only love you.“[]
Elijah stared at her, disappointment and disgust clear in his eyes. “Tiffany, you’re really making me sick.“]
With that, he turned to leave. But Tiffany suddenly grabbed his arm tightly, desperation in her voice. “Elijah, if you really like me, then you should accept everything about me. If you can’t, you should at least be angry, but you’re just rushing off. Where are you going? To find Kendall? Have you fallen for her?“]
Elijah hesitated, confusion raging in his mind, yet a strange sense of relief washed over him.[]
Yeah, why was he in such a hurry to leave?]
Why did the truth leave him feeling more relieved than shocked? Why were his thoughts filled with Kendall?
He finally had to admit to himself he liked Kendall.[]
Turning to Tiffany, his voice as cold as ice, he said, “So what? Tiffany, I’ll make sure you pay for all of this.“[]
With that, he picked up his phone.
“Find out everything about Tiffany’s mess overseas and spread it all over town. I want her to never show her face in public again.“]
He shook off her grip and strode out of the villa.[]
