A Complicated Romance Chapter 1
“What did you say?”The woman’s words rang in her ears like a crackle of thunder.Seeing how shocked Christina Williams was, the woman curled her lips into a smirk as she repeated herself slowly. “I’m pregnant with Michael Larson’s child.”“Impossible!” Christina said in disbelief.“Hah!” The woman scoffed as she threw over a piece of paper to Christina. “See for yourself. I’m already three months pregnant.”Her eyes scanned through the medical report and Christina’s heart ached as she felt an unexplainable hollowness in it.She recognized the signature next to the report. It was Michael’s handwriting. Christina’s whole world came crashing down that instance. She could not hear what was going on around her as fury flashed underneath her eyes.Losing control herself, Christina gave the woman a big slap across the face. “You shameless b*itch! You’re just the same as your mom, aren’t you? I’m going to kill you!”“Stop! What are you trying to do Christina? ” Heather Sunderland, h

A car sped down the road as a man sat at the back. Proposal in hand, the man furrowed his eyebrows as he paid attention to what he was reading.It had been some time since the Larson Corporation was interested in the development project of an old town.It so happened to be that Christina Williams’ home was one of the houses that stood within that area. Staring at the blueprint, Michael Larson scanned through the housing areas labeled in red as flashbacks tranced through his mind.As the car accelerated, a familiar figure by the roadside caught his eye. The corner of his eyes glinted and he straightened his back. “Stop the car!”Shocked, the driver hit the brakes as the car came to an immediate halt. “Is everything okay, President Larson?”Michael stared into the crowd of people as he felt his chest tighten. A moment passed before he let out an awkward laugh. “Nothing, I must’ve been mistaken.”He knew that it could not possibly be her. Her hatred towards him was so deep that sh

It was 5:00 p.m. in the afternoon.As if things were not bad enough that Christina Williams wore shades, she was dressed in cheap office wear for such an important occasion. Matthew Henderson kept his thoughts to himself as resisted the urge to kick her off the car.“Are you planning to wear this outfit to dinner?”Embarrassed, Christina gulped. "It's all I’ve got!”Letting out a snort, his face darkened as he got down the car and strode towards the shopping complex.Confused, Christina followed tightly, dragging her luggage behind her as she tried not to lose sight of the man.Matthew headed straight for the women’s department in the shopping complex. Seeing that he had stopped, she took a sigh of relief as she wiped off her sweat. Just as she was about to take a seat, the man’s voice rose. “Come here. What do you think of this dress?”“Looks good!” Christina replied without hesitation.“Try it on then.”Somewhat startled, she did not know how to react but to shake her head

Serena Garcia found herself in a difficult position. Christina Williams had always mocked her from the start and had occasionally made her look bad too.Although Christina had been kicked out of the Larson family, she was still as feisty as she used to be. Now that Serena has become Michael Larson’s new girlfriend, Christina was still relentless when she spoke to her, without a slight hint of respect.Standing next to her was Wendy Cohen. Trying to become an upper-class woman, Wendy relied on Serena to be a part of the rich. In return, Wendy backed Serena up whenever she bumped into tough situations like this.“Serena only took you as her sister because she’s a nice person. If it were another person, they probably would’ve struck you across the face by now.” A loud smack could be heard just as her voice trailed off. Marks from the slap begun to show on her face as a tingling sensation spread across her cheeks.Wendy was stunned. Absorbing what had happened, rage overtook her as s

Matthew Henderson wanted to meet his new girlfriend but found it hard to leave. Dinner had long passed yet John Garcia did not want to let Christina Williams go. With a mirthless smile stamped on his face, Matthew walked over. “Thank you so much for your adoration towards my assistant, Mayor John, but I’m afraid that she has to leave soon. You see, she still has to run a few errands for me tonight.”John Garcia was not a stupid man. Judging from Matthew’s sarcastic tone, he instantly knew that Matthew had misunderstood the situation. Giving a bitter laugh, John moved away from Christina. “Let me know if you ever need my help, President Henderson.”Obtaining the green light from the mayor was supposed to be a good thing and Matthew was supposed to be happy about it. Somehow he was the total opposite of that now. Thinking about how the mayor had been interested in the four-eyed girl, a gush of disgust overflowed him as he tried not to throw up. He gave a cold reply. As he rushe

“Is that so?” Sophia smiled gently and softly. “How’s Christina now?”John sighed. “She looks like she’s having a hard time.” “She still hates you, right? Is it our fault that we dragged you down, John.”“Don’t say such a thing.” He sat straight on the couch. “Christina didn’t hate me as she did before, and she even eats the food that I offered her!”Sophia's smiley expression did not change. “Then why didn’t you bring her back? I haven’t seen her for such a long time.”“It’s not the right timing, and she’s still harboring anger. I’ll do it slow and steady.”His expression was heavy. “Sophia, you must show more care toward her when she’s back home, you must be considerate even if she has a bad attitude.”“Don’t worry. I understand.”He looked at his daughter again. “Serena, Christina has suffered a lot all these years. You need to compromise and not fight with her, and you must be patient with her bad temper.”Serena nodded. “I understand, daddy.”Sophia wanted to say someth

Michael pushed open the door and saw a familiar view of someone’s back before he went into the ward.He was stunned immediately as if his whole body was struck by lightning. His eyes were staring straight at Christina’s back, and his fingers were shaking.Michael had imagined countless scenes on how he would with Christina again, but he never thought of her taking a spoon and feeding another man.Besides, that man was also looking at her affectionately, the man’s eyes were filled with desire that only a man could understand.Matthew had come across many girls before, and he was very particular about the features of a girl. He had never batted an eye on Christina before because she always wore huge sunglasses and her character was bland and annoying.When Sean, his brother, introduced her to the job, Matthew did not reject him, and he let her stay because he respected Sean.First impressions lasted the longest, so he thought that she was someone ugly and submissive, someone not wo

Matthew was shocked. He had never imagined that the four-eyed girl who silently agreed to everything would dare to slap him.“You dare hit me?”“I’m hitting you now!” Christina stared at him with her eyes wide open. She was frustrated and utterly different from her usual meekness, nothing like before. “You think that you can bully me just because you’re rich? I’ve had enough of you!”Michael started to get angry after he was slapped and scolded by her. “Christina, are you tired of your job? Do you want me to fire you or something?”“I don’t need your dismissal. I’m resigning now. I’m not serving you anymore!”She threw all her work-related things at his face, cleared her hands, and walked out the medical ward with her chin high up.She turned out to be the ugly duckling, and her strong personality frightened Matthew. After Christina disappeared, he reacted and touched his face. “Interesting. I like it!”As dusk arrived, in the old town, there was a luxurious black car that stopp

Besides, even if the plan failed, intentionally causing a pregnant woman to miscarry was not considered homicide by the country’s criminal law. The punishment was less serious as the behavior would be categorized as an assault occasioning bodily harm.Assault and criminal homicide were two completely different crimes.Rachel agreed to the suggestion.

“Just a little while ago.” Sean came closer. “Christina, we need to talk.”She nodded and followed him to the garden. He helped her to get comfortable on the bench. “Do you believe in fate?”She shook her head, unsure where this was leading. “I didn’t either as I’m a firm believer that hard work always pays off. But now I do.”He looked her in the eye. “I’ve been lost and struggled a lot since that incident, unsure how to face you. After considering this seriously for the past few days, I’ve finally mustered enough courage to meet you again.”A sigh escaped her lips. “Sorry, Sean. It’s all my fault.”“No! It has nothing to do with you, Christina. It’s my fault that my love is not strong enough. I discovered that Suzy is really great after spending the past few months with her. She’s just like you. She’s gentle, kind, pure, and adorable. I realized I’ve fallen in love with her.”This was not what he really thought.He loved Christina since the beginning of time and believed he

“That’s old history. We think Michael is actually pretty good.”“We? Who do you mean?” Christina teased.Ariel and Matthew had been spending a lot of time together lately. Christina went through that herself and understood the passion in her friend’s eyes. This silly girl was actually in love. She could not be happier for her.“Who else? Matthew, of course!” Ariel glared at Christina.“I say whatever’s on my mind, unlike you, who always keep everything to yourself and get stuck in dilemmas. Every good opportunity slips past you because of your indecisiveness!” “How can I not be? I promised to marry him but I’m now trying to convince him to marry someone else. Is this really the best thing for him? Will he be happy?”Ariel questioned after a brief silence, “Christina, let me ask you this. Who do you care for more? Michael or Sean?”Christina asked herself the same question too. She naturally cared more about Michael in the past, but she also started to develop a strong feeling f

The following morning, Serena hurried to the police station to file a report.The police treated this with high importance and warned her to be careful of Darren Cain as he was a vicious gang member who had served over a decade in prison.She became more frightened after hearing that. Immediately, she moved out of that house and rented a place somewhere quiet. As she was terrified, she stayed indoors for the next few days.Much of Christina’s stress was relieved without having to deal with Serena’s pestering.“Christina, John was at the last stage of cancer. It was lucky enough that he lasted until he did. This is his fate, so try not to get too upset.” Francis comforted the dispirited woman. It did not make any difference even though he was not the real Francis. He had long adapted to the identity after assuming it for so many years. Most importantly, Christina was still willing to treat him like a real uncle even after finding out the truth.“Don’t worry, Uncle, I’m fine.”

The harassment continued after the funeral. Serena went around spreading accusations and threatened Christina to give her money. Otherwise, she would report John to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission for private corruption.If reported, the antique art collection would be seized and no one could get it!Christina became more frustrated after hearing that.She never expected John’s leniency toward Serena would cause her such a big problem. Matthew was infuriated by Serena’s unreasonable behavior. He suggested they could shut the woman up by teaching her a lesson. Sean shook his head. “That’s not going to solve the problem. Serena must’ve come prepared if she dares to stir up trouble. This is a lawful society. We can’t do as we wish.”“Are we actually going to pay her off then?” Ariel asked, “I think giving her money isn’t going to put an end to this. She’s certainly going to keep threatening for more!”Michael scoffed. “Why should we give her money? She can go

“I will, Dad, don’t worry. I’ll listen to Sister,” Suzy replied.“Christina.” John grabbed Christina’s hand in his own. “My greatest regret in this life is failing to take good care of you and your mother. I’m going to meet your mother soon. I hope she’ll forgive me!”Tears rolled down Christina’s cheeks. Men would speak kindly in the presence of death. She was unsure if Molly would forgive him, but she had long forgiven her father.He strained to pull Suzy and Christina’s hands closer together as he looked at them with pleading eyes. “The both of you must live peacefully together. Suzy, listen to your sister, and Christina, you must take good care of her on my behalf.”Christina looked at Suzy before nodding quietly. Then, John shifted his glance to Michael.“I’ve done many wrongs in this life. I betrayed my wife and disappointed my daughter. I hope you’ll do better than me. I’ll hand over Christina to you now. I’ll come back to haunt you as a stubborn ghost if you dare to wr

She did not wish to see Christina continuing the fight with her mother.At a loss for what to do, she cried her heart out while in Christina’s arms.Sean felt a heavy feeling in his chest. He knew Christina too well after all the years they spent together. She was a soft-hearted person behind her stubborn facade. Seeing others in sorrow was her greatest weakness.There was no doubt she would choose to forgive Suzy and accept her as her sister.If that was the case, then the marriage between them was destined to fail.
