Gabriella raised the corners of her lips a bit. The dress with crystal beads was the tenth dress she had tried on.
"So, has my fiancee found her dress yet?" Max asked suddenly before sitting on the sofa.
Without waiting for orders, the butler approached her master.
"Aren't you planning on leaving this afternoon, Sir?" Minnie asked in a low voice.
"My business is done. Now, I want to check on my fiancee's preparation,” he said, smiling at Gabriella. The girl who glanced at him suddenly looked away.
"Of all the dresses that have been tried, your lover is most suitable to wear this dress, Sir," the designer explained as he pulled Gabriella to the front of the man.
"Is it true? Turn around!”
After a moment of hesitation, the girl finally turned around with her head down.
"Not so bad," Max commented, crossing h

"Where?" Max asked making the girl in front of him even more desperate. Gabriella's lips began to tremble as she waited for the word. However, three seconds later, the central nervous system still hadn't sent a response. The look in Max's eyes had frozen her mind. "Come on, show me!" the man challenged as he brought Gabriella's fingers closer to his cheek. Spontaneously, the girl pulled her hand and held it in her lap. With a downcast face, she hid her nervousness. "Why? You can't show it, hm? Doesn't that mean you did eavesdrop on our conversation?" the man implied with both hands fortifying the chair. "I didn't overhear," Gabriella said, still not wanting to admit her mistake. She didn't realize that Max had raised the corners of his lips. "Apparently, you don't love your doll anymore, huh?" The girl's eyes widened. The image of Max "killing" Snowy had crossed her mind. "Okay, I admit it. I did ... eavesdrop on your c

Gabriella never imagined that she would marry a rich and handsome man. All her life, she only knew the piano and sheet music. Not for a second the girl thought about love. That's why she was pensively staring at the diamond ring on her ring finger. “I really got married?” She couldn't believe it. A second later, the woman swallowed hard, moistening her parched throat. "Gabriella?" The woman slowly raised her head, facing the handsome face that called out to her. "And this man is my husband?" The bride took a deep breath, freeing her chest from tightness. "Is my decision right?" “Gabriella,” Max called one more time, giving a small tug to the fingers he was holding. The woman finally blinked. "Yes?" The man gave a signal with a glance. Gabriella followed the direction of his gaze which ended at a ring in the small box. "Ah, sorry," the woman sighed as she took the shiny object. A second later, her trembling fingers began

Gabriella could sense Max was approaching. The closer they were, the tighter she clenched fists. Her cheeks were blushing like a tomato. Just before the man bit her lips, a knock on the door caught their attention. Gabriella could hear a small snort from her front. Only then could she breathe again and open her eyes. "Yes?" Max stared at the door with an eyebrow raised in displeasure. "Sorry, Sir. Your secretary is waiting at the guard post. He insists on coming in to see Master," a servant reported from behind the door. "Just tell him that I'm enforcing protocol five!" "He's still insistent, Sir." A quick gasp was immediately heard. “Please tell him to contact me by phone!” After giving the order, Max grabbed the phone and activated it. Knowing her husband's annoyance, Gabriella did not dare to move. Every now and then, he checked Max's expression out of the corner of her eyes. "Can I go now?" she asked carefully.

"Look, who touched first?" Max teased, raising an eyebrow. Annoyed, Gabriella threw her husband's hand away. "I want to sleep!"Roughly, the woman threw herself on the bed and then laid with her back to her husband. A few seconds later, she changed position to her back, then turn to the right. But, wherever she faced, her eyes still wouldn't close. "Why? You can't sleep because of thinking about me?" Max teased with a crooked smile. Gabriella chuckled in annoyance and then threw her husband with the teddy. "Stop bothering me!" “Wow! So, you don't love Snowy anymore? Good." Max hugged the teddy bear and returned his focus to the phone. Looking at her husband's behavior, Gabriella was provoked to sit down. “Hey, give my Snowy back!” “This isn't yours anymore. You already gave it to me," Max said casually. Without further ado, the woman slipped her hand between the girth of the stout arms. “Give it bac

“That man is very talkative. He doesn't even mind to comment on my lipstick," Gabriella grumbled before applying red dye on her lips.After a moment, her eyes flickered flat."Is it too thick?" the woman muttered as she took a closer look in the mirror.A second later, the woman pulled out a sheet of tissue and wiped off her lipstick.“No, this is too faded.”After a few minutes, Gabriella finally got the color right. A satisfied smile appeared on her face."Do you think you are beautiful?" a woman who had just entered the door asked. "Are you happy that you take Max away from me?"Gabriella suddenly turned around and furrowed her brows. "Amber?"With her arms folded in front of the chest, the haughty lady walked over."Where did you get this?" she asked, noticing the authenticity of the lipstick that had just taken from Gabriella's hand."Max gave it to me," the honest woman replied in a stiff t

Wasting no time, Max hurried through room after room. His heart beat faster every time he found an empty space. Only when he arrived at the only door that locked from the outside did his breath stop rumbling."Gabriella?"There was no answer. A bad hunch instantly made nerves tense up. With a pounding heart, the man unlocked and pushed the door.Two seconds later, a naked woman had stung his heart. With mouth agape without a word and eyes quivering violently, he watched Gabriella's face turn red.The silence broke when the woman blinked."What happened?" Max asked as he removed the suit from his body.Then, the man wrapped his wife's body so it wasn't exposed to the air."Why don't you come earlier? Do you expect me to freeze to death here?” Gabriella said in a trembling voice full of rage.Hearing the fierce response, Max was wide-eyed and examined his wife's face. "Are you okay?" he asked in disbelief.Befo

Five seconds passed, the man still standing with his gaze fixed on the floor. He could feel the effects of the stimulants running through his body, leaving a trail of immense heat and energy behind. “What are you waiting for, Max? Should the woman move first?” Amber asked with a smirk. A moment later, the man took out his cell phone from the pocket and started typing a message. The impatient lady's eyebrows furrowed in displeasure. "Are you asking for help?" “I sent order to my driver to wait a little longer.” Amber's eyes immediately widened in disbelief, moreover, when the man she approached her and placed the cellphone on the table beside the bed. "So you've changed your mind, haven't you?" the lady asked with heart full of happiness. Without thinking, the man nodded and gave an intimidating look. "This is what you want, isn't it?" His hands began to unfasten the belt, making Amber's heart began to jump for joy.

After a few minutes, Gabriella's eyelids were almost closed tightly. It was a very quiet night for her. No Max, no coercion. There was only Snowy and the soft bed underneath. Unexpectedly, the door opened wide. The woman became conscious in an instant. "Max?" she sighed before swallowing hard. Her eyes quivered to compensate for her sudden rapid heartbeat. "You didn't open the door for me on purpose, huh?" the man asked, carelessly taking off his shirt. The look in his sharp eyes and the roar of his breath made Gabriella more shrunken. “I had no idea you were coming,” Gabriella replied with furrowed brows and bowed head. Her hand was holding Snowy tighter. "So you fell asleep while your husband was waiting at the door?" Gabriella's lips trembled wordlessly. The courage she had cultivated earlier had withered, moreover, when Max slammed his trousers on the floor. "You should have waited so I wouldn't have to bang on the door!"

"Whoa!" Cayden sighed as his father placed him on the back of a pony. With round eyes, he surveyed his height from the ground. Even though it was not much, the toddler in the cowboy hat still showed a happy smile. “How is it, Little Evans? Are you happy?” the woman who held the horse's rein asked. Not daring to move much, Cayden nodded at a limited angle. "Yes, Greta. I am happy. It's thrilling!” he answered enthusiastically. “Thrilling?” Gabriella muttered, furrowing an eyebrow. While continuing to rock her niece, the woman expressed astonishment. “Where did you learn that word, Little Prince?” "Daddy often mentions it," the toddler replied, successfully making his father wince. "Daddy said that the nights spent with Mom were always thrilling." As Gabriella glared at her husband, Greta burst out laughing. "Gosh, Max. I think you should be more careful now. Your genius son can absorb all the words you speak.” "Right. I'll be more caref

"If you kept avoiding me, I would really quit the company," Julian said, successfully freezing Mr. Hunt's steps. The old man was then blinking, digesting the words he thought he heard wrong. “Actually, my position as a CEO is being threatened for some reasons. I tried to keep it a secret from all of you. I didn't even let Mia know. But as it turned out, it wasn't easy at all. My mind became adrift. And because the burden was too heavy, my emotions finally exploded. I'm so sorry it had to happen in front of you." Hearing the tone that seemed honest, Mr. Hunt slowly turned his focus. Two seconds later, he saw the tears slide from the grandson's eyes. "I've tried to be strong and tough, Grandpa. I thought I could solve all problems. But it turns out, I haven’t found any solution yet. That's why I was angry when I failed to find Grace and you at the cemetery. It got me think that I am a useless man," Julian explained with the gloomy eyes landed on the grass.

“Tsk, why does Grandpa run away like this? It just makes me feel even guiltier,” Julian grumbled between gasping breaths. Holding on to Mr. Hunt's message, he walked down the tree-lined path. “What should I do if Grandpa isn't there? Where should I look for him?” the man thought as he couldn't erase the wrinkles from his face. The burden in his heart was too heavy to ignore. After a few moments of struggling with the noise in his brain, Julian finally shook his head and blinked strongly. "No, no. Grandpa must be there. I'll take him home and things will automatically return to the way they were before," the man nodded, fostering hope. Ignoring the anxiety that kept swirling in his mind, he went faster. Unfortunately, as soon as Julian passed the cemetery gates, his steps were frozen. His jaw was dropping while his eyelids were lifted to the maximum. What he had hoped for quickly turned into disappointment. "No way! This is impossible!” he curs

"Dad," Cayden called quietly. A second later, the toddler handed Max a piece of bread that had been cleaned of jam. "I'm already full," he continued with a meaningful smile.Understanding the son's intentions, Max spontaneously raised an eyebrow. "Do you want me to finish your bread again?"While showing two rows of tiny teeth, Cayden nodded. After a faint exhalation, the father began to vibrate the air with laughter."Gaby, look at what Little Prince did! I can get fat if he keeps handing me food,” the man said while showing the second bread he received from his son.“Just eat it, Max. You need more energy to help the Little Prince take care of Hasty,” the woman who was cleaning the dishes with a sponge replied.Hearing his mother's response, Cayden's eyes immediately widened. His energy had just risen to the peak. “I've finished breakfast, Mom. Can I go to the stable now?”"Yes, but you have to wash your face

Suddenly, Julian dropped his face into his hands. After exhaling heavily, he lifted his head again and put on an indescribable expression."I didn't mean to scare anyone, Mia. I just don't want Grandpa’s mistake to happen again," the man said with frown on his face."Yes, I know," Mia replied with the same thin voice. “But you can do it without hurting Grandpa's feelings, Julian. This matter can be discussed amicably.”While gritting his teeth, Julian shook his head. Confusion had returned to cover his eyes. “What should I do now? I already made Grandpa sad.""Apologize?" Mia answered with a grimace."Is that enough?" the man asked doubtfully. He began to realize that his anger had indeed crossed the line.Pondering, the woman nodded. “As long as it's sincere, Grandpa will definitely forgive you. And I think, you should also explain to Cayden that what you did was wrong. Don't let your nephew imitate something t

“Greta, have you prepared delicious toast for us?” Cayden asked as the hostess opened the door wider to welcome him. Seeing her father was still able to walk, the woman with high arch of the brows spontaneously sighed in relief. After shaking her head for a moment, she turned her gaze to the toddler who was still holding Mr. Hunt's hand and waiting for her response. "Of course I have. There is also strawberry jam for you. Are you hungry?” Greta asked while faking a smile. “Not me, but Grandpa. I heard the sound of his breathing all the way. Grandpa is very tired! He should eat a lot of bread," Cayden said with his trademark expression—round eyes and pursed lips. While stroking her son's head, Gabriella bent her knees. After leveling their eyes, the woman tilted her head. "You know where Greta put the plate of bread, don't you?" No more than two seconds, the toddler nodded. "Yes. On the dining table," he answered with a big smile. "That

"Sorry, Julian. I took Grace to see your grandmother for a while. Now, I intend to take her home. We're not wandering around or straying like you said," Mister Hunt explained with an indescribable expression. Even so, his hoarse voice was able to touch the hearts of the listeners, apart from his grandson. "But the way home is over there, Grandpa!" Julian snapped, still with eyebrows raised to the max. The young man didn't feel sorry at all for the hunched back that was getting weighed down by guilt. "I really can’t understand what’s on your mind. Don't you realize that your recklessness can lead to trouble? Didn't we agree to go together? Why did you secretly take Grace away?” he continued, thickening the wrinkles on his grandfather's forehead. Sensing her father's anger, Little Princess began to furrow her brows. The baby had never heard such a loud voice. When her eyes fell on Mr. Hunt's gloomy face, she spontaneously pouted. A second later, her heavy cry b
CEO's Love in Trap Extra Chapter| 13. A Father's Despair
Arriving at the cemetery, Julian was taken aback. What he saw was completely beyond expectation. There were no old man and baby among the tombstones. The grandfather and Grace left absolutely no trace. "This is impossible," Julian muttered as he quickened his pace. Neglecting his initial attempt to remain calm, the man sped toward the direction Greta had given. After searching for a while, he finally found the grandmother's name on one of the stones. “Right, this is the place. They should be here," Julian sighed, sounding desperate. With deep furrows, he circled around, trying to find any trace of either his daughter or Grandpa Hunt. Unfortunately, as far as the eye could see, the two remained off the radar. Confusion instantly grew bigger in Julian’s mind. "Tsk, how could it be like this?" he grumbled while clutching his head. Knowing that irritation, Mia gently touched her husband's arm. She knew that the man had failed to control hi
CEO's Love in Trap Extra Chapter| 12. Grandpa and Grace
Carefully, Mr. Hunt wiped his great-granddaughter's cheek. Grace's red eyes no longer shed sadness. However, the old man still felt guilty for making the baby cry. "I'm sorry, Grace. I should have walked more calmly so you wouldn't wake up," he whispered in between his ragged breaths. After her face had been dry, Grace rested her head on Mister Hunt's shoulder. Blinking slowly, she pursed her lips. The furrow of her tiny brows indicated that she still wanted to roll up in the blanket on the crib. The baby wondered why she was with her great-grandfather, sitting on a long bench at the edge of a path. “When I was young, I only need fifteen minutes to arrive at your great-grandmother's grave. But now, why does it feel so long and tiring?” Mr. Hunt grumbled as he wiped his forehead with one hand. After one quick breath, the old man stood up again and held Grace in his languid arms. Although the baby was a bit heavy, his lips still curled up warmly.
