A Complicated Romance Chapter 73
Bill’s father had cheated on his mother when he was a child and walked out on them. His mother could not accept the hard blow and committed suicide by cutting herself on the wrist. Suddenly orphaned, Bill grew up under the roof of his relatives. It was through the help of a kind soul that he had received a university education.During his time in university, he met a young lady from a wealthy family and the two of them fell in love. After graduation, they had gotten married without their family’s knowledge and went on to live a simple but happy life.Bill had worked diligently but the company’s business was declining and so he was dismissed from work. His in-laws, who were not satisfied with him since the beginning, coerced their daughter to divorce him. The two of them were forcefully separated.There was great sadness in his voice. “I was poor at the time, so even the marriage application was paid for by my father-in-law. Thus, I left the marriage with nothing in my pockets. I own

Michael’s face fell instantly as he did not expect Christine to pose this question. She had certainly slapped him in the face.She had once asked him the same question too. “Michael, the doctor said I’m infertile. You’ll never have a child of your own if you choose to be with me. Will you still want to marry me?”He replied with an affirmative yes.What an irony that their marriage had eventually failed because of this exact issue.Did she bring up this old grudge only because he was present? He glanced at the woman on stage subconsciously, only to find out that she was looking at Bill seriously. She did not even look in his direction.Bill turned silent for several seconds before lifting his head to look at Christina in the eyes. “Miss Williams, you’ll probably think I’m not taking it seriously if I say I don’t mind. Therefore, I wish you could give me time to prove it with my actions. I promise to give you all the happiness in the world even without a child!”Christina nodded b

John would probably be highly against Christina’s choice. Perhaps he might step forward to stop her from going out with a man of this quality.“Just wait and see. If your dad’s involved in this, then it’s none of our business even if something goes wrong in the future. We can stand on the side with our arms crossed as Christina falls to ruins.”“If something goes wrong? What do you mean?” Serena’s interest was piqued.“It remains a secret for now. You’ll figure it out soon.”“Mom, just tell me already…”Once John returned home, Sophia told him everything about the matchmaking success, not forgetting to describe Bill as a completely worthless loser.He was so infuriated that he could not enjoy dinner. “This is wrong. Christina is too young and reckless to make decisions like this.”Sophia rubbed his shoulders. “I agreed that she’s too impulsive and I’m afraid she’s going to suffer in the future. That’s why I brought this up with you.”After a brief consideration, John said, “Don
A Complicated Romance Chapter 76
Just another ordinary couple, Bill Hunt and Christina Williams usually went to the movies for their dates, occasionally going for food hunts or strolling around the mall. The more they hung out with each other, the more that Christina realized how caring and flawless Bill was. There did not seem to be a single trace of imperfection in him. Making up her mind to pick Travis Larson up in a few days time, Christina decided that it was time for Bill to meet her son. If all went well and the two got along, she would consider applying for the certificate from City Hall.That night, as the two walked out of the cinema after a movie, Bill informed her about his friend’s birthday party. It was also a get-together and Bill intended to bring Christina along. Christina had a feeling that Bill wanted to introduce her to his friends, and agreed to it without much thought. The next day was rather gloomy as Christina took the bus on her usual route to work. Like the weather, things were not any

Glancing at the vulgar pictures on the wall, Christina Williams instinctively shifted her gaze as she tried to get out of the bed.The men around her immediately grabbed her and threw her back onto the bed.“You have to be gentle when it comes to the pretty darling, Second Brother. Don’t you hurt our precious little babe.”Christina took a deep breath. As she calmed down her nerves, she tried her best not to stare at the pictures on the wall.“Yo, is the little beauty shy?” The man took a pill as he forced open Christina’s mouth. “Eat this, then you won’t be shy anymore.”“I’m not eating anything!” Christina shut her mouth as she gritted her teeth as hard as she could.“Be good. Take your pill, and you’ll have the heck of your life tonight!” Pinching her chin, the man fed her the pill as he pushed a glass of water against her lips.Panicking, Christina knew that something bad would happen to her if she ate the pill at that moment. Reaching her fingers into the back of her throat
A Complicated Romance Chapter 78
“It’s a deal!” A wave of disgust overflowed Christina Williams. Resisting the urge to throw up, she tried to hide that feeling as her face remained expressionless. “You two. Who wants to come first?”The two men shared a look as a pit of desire burnt underneath their glaring eyes. Christina found herself losing her patience. “What’s wrong? Can’t make a decision, can you? Let’s do a three-way then!”Upon saying that, Christina started to unbutton her shirt furiously.Her actions caught the men off guard since they did not expect her to come to terms that easily. One of them nodded their head in approval. “Sure. The more the merrier!”One of the men had started to take off his belt, but the other was still fully clothed. Getting up from the bed, Christina swayed her tiny hips as she waltzed towards the man. “Let me do it for you, sir.” Her tiny hands reached out towards the man, seemingly to remove his shirt. With one swift move, her hands changed their direction as she threw the c

Christina Williams felt her face flushed in embarrassment. She used to love laying on Michael Larson’s arm as she slept soundly in the clutches of his warm embrace. The two of them were in that exact position if only tangled up in a tight cuddle.What mattered most was the fact that both of them were naked.Their bodies wrapped tightly together, Christina began to feel the heat of his naked skin against hers as embarrassment crept up her face. Furious, she raised her hand and she gave a slap across his face.Expecting her to do this, Michael held her hand with his firm grip before the blow landed on his cheek. Unable to free herself from his grasp, all Christina could do was to glare madly at him. “Michael, you b*stard. What did you do to me? How can you be so shameless?”Grinning from ear to ear, Michael glanced back at her. “What do you think a naked man and woman would do if they share the same bed?”Christina’s heart sunk to the bottom of the abyss as tears filled her eyes.
A Complicated Romance Chapter 80
##“I...” Christina William’s memories flashbacked to what had happened last night. She remembered escaping the house and running towards the end of the alley, only to be knocked out by a huge blow in the face.Was that guy… Bill Hunt?The thought of this shook Christina to her core. Why was Bill associated with those men?“Do you remember now? Your so-called lover is actually the middleman of an illegal association. He kidnaps women like you and later on forces them to have sex without their consent. He lied to you from the beginning, and I saved you from your fate.”Michael Larson knew something was fishy about Bill the moment he saw the man and Christina on a television program. The two had been participants in a game but Michael found it odd how Bill kept slipping. Although he did try his best to protect Christina from any danger, it seemed almost as if his actions were intentional.After all, people only look out for themselves when they are in danger. It was rare for someone

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. Scarface was indeed a ruthless man.

Serena lost everything. She had no choice but to work as a bargirl to survive.Scarface was the person in charge of the bar she worked at. The ruthless man had pretty much slept with every woman who worked at his place. Naturally, Serena could not escape from that fate either.Serena was different from other bargirls. She came from a prestigious family and was highly educated.

“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. Christina would reject him for the sake of the child in her sister’s belly.At this moment, he was thinking of how everything was falling apart at this moment even after he had consistently pursued her all these years. He stood there in a daze for a long time before finally heaving a sigh.Perhaps this was their destiny. Suzy cried for a
