Blood
Crista shrank away in fear as she looked at the hideous man in front of her. Without warning, Dicson pulled her by her arm, which made her shriek in pain and break out a cold sweat. The bum in her arm had not healed yet, and it was still very painful to touch. His grip was so tight that she felt that she had no escape.
She figured that even if she cried for help a million times, nobody would come to save her.
"Please don't touch me!" she pleaded, her sight blurry with tears.
"There, there. Don’t cry now. You'll be happy later." Dicson signaled his two men to let her go. As they did so, he pulled Crista into his arms, and he happened to see the gauze on her arm. "Why are you so careless? Does it hurt?” he asked.
His touch was so gentle that it was quite surprising due to his menacing look. However, his tone and voice still sent shivers down Crista's spine.
"Please don't touch me! I'm begging you!" Crista closed he
Nightmare With her eyes closed and her face pale, Crista could not do anything as Dicson's hand slide over her skin. Knowing that struggling was futile, she just resisted the sickening feeling in her stomach and bit her lips instead. It was not until now that she realized that she was not as scared or hurt when she was facing William. While she was in a deep sense of despair, the door opened with a loud bang. "What the fuck! Who are you to act so wildly in my territory? How dare you ruin my fun?!" Dicson bellowed as he watched four burly men in black suits come in and knock down all his men at the same time. He could tell that something was wrong at a glance. It was unusual for anyone to have such skillful bodyguards in A City. However, there was one person he could think of who had the power and means to have those. It was none other than William Ding. On the floor near the couch, Crista was curled up as she tried to cover he
Plagiarized It was not until the doctor said that everything was fine that William felt completely relieved. As he sat on the edge of the bed, he asked Crista, "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?" His gentle voice rang in her ears, and it warmed her heart. If they did not end up fighting before, would they be able to reconcile? Could they have lived peacefully like this moment? Sadly, both of them were so stubborn that they only lost each other again and again. "Thank you for coming to save me," Crista said, instead of answering his question. At that time, she thought she would die in the hands of a scoundrel. "Crista, am I a stranger to you? Haven't we quarreled enough?" William asked in a slightly hurt voice. He did not want to talk about their discord, especially when she had just woken up after being severely wounded. Past was past. William decided to restrain his bad temper and impatience. However, if Crista
She Admitted That She Stole It Crista was casually flipping through the newspaper when she saw an article on the main page. Looking at the picture right next to it, she was stunned. The clothes that were displayed in the picture looked familiar to her. It was her design, and it was something that she had created for the next fashion show, so why was a picture of her design on the newspaper? Moreover, the designs had been so popular in the commodity market that they had even made it to the newspaper. ’What the hell is going on? The problem from last time has not been settled yet, and now this? Is someone targeting me?' Regardless of her wounds, Crista opened the door. "Miss Jin, what can I do for you?" ”I want to see Mr. Ding," Crista said lightly. She wanted to see William and ask him what was going on. ”I am afraid I can't contact him right now, but Mr. Ding said that he will be visiting you tonight." The bodyguard didn't kno
He Still Didn't Want To Touch Her William sat in his car for a whole night. He didn't drive back to the company until he felt the first rays of sunlight on his face. Sitting in his office, he felt completely exhausted. Not long after, Carla came in. "William, what’s going on?" Although William had asked Enzo to deal with the issue, trying to keep it from her, she had seen the news reports. Carla could not help but wonder why he was trying to keep such a big problem from her. Was he trying to protect Crista? "Carla, let Enzo take care of the issue. I have already told him what he needs to do, so don't worry." He sighed. Although he regretted saying those things to Crista the day before, he felt ashamed to apologize to her. "Don't worry? How could I not worry? How could I just ignore something like this? Didn't you put me in charge of this project? What the hell is going on with these designs? I need to see Crista and talk to her about
She Refused The Chances He Had Given Her William and Enzo sat face to face in the office. Two cups of coffee were placed on the desk in front of them. "Mr. Ding, you are right... The owner of that design company told me that someone sold these designs to them." Enzo explained to William what he had found from his investigation. "And then? Who was it?” With a calm expression, William took a sip of the coffee It was true that it was completely up to him to believe Crista's words or not, but he decided that he wanted to investigate because he did not think that she had done it. "The owner of the company said that he did not meet the seller in person. He just received a phone call from a private number." Enzo already knew that Crista had no part to play in the problem. Although William felt the same way, he could not let Crista leave the hospital before he found out the truth. However, on Crista's part, she felt as though she was
I Can Get You Out Of Here Inside the cafe, Nimpha sat across from a man who was wearing a hat. "Miss Nimpha, are you happy with this?” The man looked at her with a smile, but there seemed to be something strange about him. "Yes, you've done well. I will be transferring the money to your account tomorrow." Nimpha had already read the newspaper. In fact, she was the one who was behind all this. Even though the designs were quite popular, it could not have been featured in an article on the front page without her. She was the one who had arranged for a reporter to feature the designs. "Miss Nimpha, It's not just the money you promised me, remember?" Like most men, he wanted a woman, and he wanted Nimpha in particular. "Don't worry, I'm quite satisfied with your service." Nimpha took out a hotel card with gold letters printed on it, and said, "Room 505 at ten o'clock tonight." With that, she stood up and left. Since Crista hadn't
Who Irritated Him Carla stared at her in confusion. "Do you mean you don't want to leave? Or are you afraid that you won’t be able to make it? Perhaps you're afraid of living a life without William. There's no doubt that he can give you a comfortable life, but if you want to leave, then I can give you a lot of money to support yourself. I can make sure that you live well. Who knows, your life might even be better than it is now!" Crista and William seemed to be torturing each other, and Carla felt that they could both move on if Crista left. It was true that Crista was tempted to leave, but deep down in her heart, she felt a slight hesitation. Perhaps that was the only part of her that knew why she was reluctant to leave. All of a sudden, William pushed the door open and walked in with a gloomy expression. "Carla, why are you here?" he asked, looking at Carla, who was sitting on the couch. Carla immediately felt nervous. She h
Men's Pride Crista glanced at him and asked, "Are you really going to keep me in the hospital forever?” William placed the glass on the table and looked at her coldly. "Let’s discuss this once I am done talking to the doctor, okay?" Crista did not know what to say. She could tell that William would intimidate the doctor until he said whatever William wanted him to, so it really did not seem possible for her to get away from the hospital. Leaning against the chair, Crista said lightly, "I want to rest. Shouldn't you leave too?" At least she had the freedom to do whatever she felt like inside the ward. Although Carla had come to talk to her, she had made up her mind not to leave him. No matter what happened, she did not want to leave just yet. Besides, she knew that it wouldn’t be that easy even if she had chosen to leave. Nimpha had done so much to hurt her, and she would not just let her go easily. Moreover, she too wanted to
You Are Not The Baby's Father Lewis sighed as he made Crista sit down on the sofa. "Will you feel bored staying at home?" Looking at him, Crista hesitated for a while before she shook her head. "Aren't you afraid that I might run away?" "Yes, I am." Lewis looked at her. He was obviously anxious. The only thing that scared him was Crista leaving him. "Then I won’t go out. I am afraid that I won't be able to control myself." Even though Crista knew that William had died, she still wanted to see him. She loved him so much, but she could not even see him one last time. "He is dead. Why are you so stubborn? Even if you did go back, what can you do now?” Lewis wondered why she was being so stubborn about returning to William. Did it mean that he would never get her love even though William had died? Would she never show him any mercy at all? "Then why do you have to do that? You can just leave me alone." Crista didn't want him to interfere her affair! He had lied to her many times n
There Was Still No News About Her Lewis walked over to Crista and saw her in a daze. "What's wrong, Chica? Do you feel sick?" Her face had turned paler, which worried him. Looking at him, Crista remained silent. She didn't stop him when he put his coat on her shoulder and helped her sit on the bed. "If you don't feel good, then you'd better take rest. Don't you remember that the doctor asked you to rest in bed for the first three months?" Lewis felt like he was talking to himself. Was she even listening to him? Crista reached out and touched her belly. Only when she felt the child in her belly would she feel relieved. Leaning against the bed, Crista took a glance at the newspaper that was on the bedside table. She had not thrown it away yet. Perhaps she was using it to remind herself that she should not forget William. Lewis sat next to her and talked to her, but Crista ignored him and fell asleep. A bitter smile appeared on Lewis' lips. He could talk for hours, but she would sti
Will You Be With Me Then, Lewis made Crista sit up and lean against a cushion. "Have some congee first, Chica. You haven't eaten properly for a few days. Or do you want to eat something else? I can ask Sara to make it for you." Crista had no appetite for the food in front of her, but still, she slowly ate as Lewis fed her until the congee was finished. "Chica, you need to take good care of yourself. You need to start eating well because your baby needs the nutrition." Lewis wiped her mouth with a tissue. "My baby," Crista murmured. "I still have a baby." "Yes, Chica. You still have your baby. That’s why you have to take good care of yourself so you won’t hurt your child." Lewis looked at her. Perhaps the thought of her child could snap her out of her lethargy and give her a reason to move on. "My baby, what are we going to do? It’s all my fault that you will never see your daddy. It’s all Mommy's fault, "Crist
He Died To Save Her Crista shook her head. "No way! I want William. He is the father of my child, and he has a right to know about it." Why should she be with Lewis? It was obvious that she resented him. 'What does he mean? And why did he say that he can be with me now that William is not around anymore? William told me that he will be there for me, and that I should wait for him!' Crista remembered it so clearly that it was simply impossible for her to forget his promise to her. "It is true that he has a right to know about your child, but it is too late for that now," Lewis said, looking at her, but in his heart, he was afraid that she might become hysterical and fall unconscious. "What do you mean by too late? What is that supposed to mean, Lewis? What happened to William? I want to see him... No, I need to see him right now!" After saying that, Crista rushed to the middle of the road, and stopped a car th
Let Me Love You In the end, Lewis chose to take Crista away. He went back to the ward, and looked at her. The doctor who followed him in gave her an injection. "Mr. Lui, if you still insist on taking Miss Jin away, then I'll have to finish the paperwork for you so that you will be able to go through the discharge formalities,” the doctor said to Lewis. Money had the power to do anything, so Lewis bribed the doctor to give some tranquilizer for Crista, so that he could take her away from there while she was still asleep. Gian soon arrived at the hospital. "Mr. Lui, everything is done." Lewis nodded and handed him a prescription. "Go through the discharge formalities for Crista first, and once you're done with that, you can go to the pharmacy and get her medicines. I will be taking her downstairs now." After Gia left the ward, Lewis changed Crista's clothes, put his coat on her, picked her up in his arms, and left the h
Escape In The Middle Of The Night If she had shielded William from the bullet, he would have been fine. Crista had done that three years ago, and she survived, so there was a high chance she would be all right again. It was a gamble, yes, but she was willing to take that risk. He should not have pushed her away. She did not need his protection! She now understood William's obsession with keeping her safe. But it was way too late, and she was tethering on the brink of losing her mind. Lewis looked at her, his brows furrowed in jealousy. "You will sacrifice your life for him? If I was the one on the receiving end of that bullet, would you do the same for me?" Crista kept mum, curling up into a ball, her mind tormented. She did not know if she would feel the same for Lewis. All she cared about was how she did not want to see William harmed. Maybe she would save Lewis, or maybe not. The thing was, she had not cont
Want To See Him Lewis held her in his arms as he still could not let her go- Crista had lost a lot of blood and had no strength left in her to struggle. She could only watch as Martin and his men helped William up. "Let go of me, Lewis! I want to be with him. I want to be with him!" Crista was scared. No one could tell what would happen to William as he had gotten shot in his chest. However, she hoped that he would be fine, and wanted to be by his side. William tried his best to stand up and said, "Chica, wait for me!" No matter how strong he was, he still could not help but faint. Martin shouted his name a few times before he looked at Crista and carried William out of there. He didn't take Crista with him because he could not afford to waste time now. If they continued to deal with Lewis, then William was going to die. Holding Crista in his arms, Lewis walked step by step towards Anpu, who was lying
It's Either Your Life Or Crista's When he heard Lewis mention Crista, William's expression darkened. "You kidnapped Chica, didn't you? What did you do to her?" "What I did to her? What do you think I did to her? I can do the same things that you did to her, right? Don't forget that I am a man, too, just like you!" Lewis said with a smug smile. 'What do I want to do to Crista?' Of course, Lewis wanted her, but she did not want him. She would not even let him touch her. She had struggled and resisted him for a long time now. But for William, she became pregnant. She was doing everything for William, but not for Lewis. She didn't care how deep his love was. She would rather hurt him than compromise. "As long as you promise to let Chica go, I'll do whatever you ask me to do," William said. He had made up his mind to do anything and to give up anything for the sake of her safety. "Are you sure that you are willing to do an
What On Earth Did He Want To Do With Her Lewis bent over and planted a kiss on Crista's lips. He had never kissed her long enough or often enough to his liking. It must be his lucky day! He cupped his hand behind her head, holding it steady as he explored her mouth deeper. Crista writhed to get away, very much on the defensive. The more she floundered wildly, the more the ropes scraped away under her skin. There was no chance to avoid his kiss! Desperately, Crista bit down on his lips until her mouth filled with the metallic tang of blood. She bit and kicked, trying to shake off the strong hand that held her fast, but Lewis persisted, tasting her until she almost suffocated beneath him. "Do you want William to know we kissed?" Lewis smirked as he wiped the blood off his lip. He lifted a hand and signaled to Anpu’s men to leave them alone. "What on earth do you want to do with me?” Crista heaved and panted, the struggl
