The Heartless Man And The Heartless Woman
Standing in front of the elevator, Crista kept pressing the button to go up. 'Damn it!'
She did not realize it until now that how men got when they were angry, especially someone like William.
He was a possessive and jealous man, and she felt like she should not have worried about him. However, she did not have the courage to tell him how she felt.
She was frowning and muttering when the elevator door opened again. William was inside, leaning against the wall as he looked at her with a cold gaze.
"You... You didn't go upstairs?” Crista instantly realized what a stupid question she had asked.
"Of course, I haven't. You want to come in or not?” William was soft-hearted to her. Why was he angry? He always knew she was a magnanimous woman and she didn't want either him or Lewis to get hurt.
"Oh," Crista said as she ran into the elevator. However, she slipped and bu
I'm Not Waiting For You 'The car was stolen? That's impossible! Nobody would dare to steal my car in this city, ' William thought to himself. He glared at Crista, his eyes fierce with displeasure. Was she gloating over his loss? Nobody would have the gall to steal his car. Still, somebody must have thought that he could outwit William. After all, William did not take out the key from the ignition this afternoon. He was really furious at Crista that his mind seemed to have shut down. Across him, Crista gazed at his glum expression. This was not her fault. She had warned him several times this afternoon, but he chose to ignore her. He probably thought that nobody would dare to mess up with him. But now, just as she had thought, his car got stolen. For some reason, he did not seem so affected when he found out that his car was gone. "What? Are you happy that my car is gone?" William asked sardonically. Even if Crista was silent,
Meet Charlotte In The Hospital Anna was sitting next to William. She angled her head to look at him and asked, "William, did you leave Crista alone in the apartment?" William recognized that Carla still cared about Crista and replied, "Yes, her foot was injured.” He would have taken her with him if she had not sprained her ankle. They had not attended any parties together for quite a while, especially this kind of get- together with his friends, and it would have been a pleasant change. "You are really nice to her." Carla smiled and gave a rueful shake of her head. How she wished she could drink all her admiration and jealousy for Ayla, along with the bitterness in her heart. She raised her glass and poured the entire content down her throat. William said nothing, lazily swirling the glass in between his slender fingers. He refrained from drinking more as he had already consumed a lot, though he was still more clearheaded tha
Promise Me One Thing The next morning, Crista changed into a pair of flats and walked out of the apartment. As soon as she went downstairs, she saw Lewis. 'Why is he here?' She couldn’t avoid him, so she walked up to him. "Why are you here, Lewis?" Crista asked, looking at him. Even though they were so close to each other, there was a distance between them that simply could not be crossed. "I came to see you. William didn't come back last night, did he?" Lewis saw her limping downstairs all on her own. It was obvious that she had hurt her foot. Crista's eyes went wide with surprise. "How do you know he didn't come back last night? Did you meet him? What did you say to him?" Feeling nervous, she asked him one question after the other. She could not help but feel an uneasiness in her heart when she saw that Lewis was in front of her while William had gone missing since the previous night. Lewis smiled. "If you a
William Was Their Target "I was drinking at the Fab Bar last night when a group of people came in and started a fight. That's how I got cut by the glass,” Chloe said casually. She was glad that she only got hurt in her left arm, and not her right. If she had gotten hurt in her right arm, then she would not have been able to design for a while. Although Crista had never been to Fab Bar, she had heard about the place from William and Enzo. "The Fab Bar? You mean the biggest bar in A City? How could such a thing happen in a place like that?" Crista asked in confusion. Chloe shook her head and said, "I don't know the details. Maybe they came for revenge. However, the bar has earned a good name in A City. Moreover, it belongs to Mr. Ding. I mean, who would have the balls to start trouble in his place?" Chloe felt that it was strange. She had chosen the Fab Bar because she thought it would be the safest place to have a drin
Why Did You Do That After Enzo left, Crista sat alone in the office. William would never tell her about what had happened in the past few days. That was the reason she had not seen him in a while. As soon as Enzo walked out of the office of the Design Department, he took out his mobile phone and called William. "Mr. Ding, it looks like Miss Jin already knows everything that happened at the casinos and the nightclubs." Crista had been completely right about her guess. "How does she know? Did you tell her?" In fact, William knew that Crista was not stupid. Even though he had not told her a word about it, she had already figured it out. However, he still did not want her to get involved in his business. "Mr. Ding, I didn't dare say a word about it to her. She kept guessing and asked me to confirm it, but I didn't, I swear.” Enzo kept emphasizing that he had told her nothing. Leaning against the sofa, William looked out o
Now She Knew Who He was Crista stared at Lewis across the table. "Yes. I regret it deeply now. I was stupid not to see who you were before. How can you be so selfish? Don't you have any idea how many people you have hurt by doing that?" The memory of Lewis saving her sprang into Crista's mind, and she felt something was amiss. She could not understand, but if Lewis were really a vicious man, he wouldn't have helped her back then. "I never said that I am a good person. Since you did not know me well before, I am giving you a chance now," Lewis declared proudly. He had no other option but to choose this path. Perhaps it would be better for her to perceive him as someone cruel. Crista would never forgive him if she found what he had done. He deliberately approached her, and his plan for revenge almost killed her. That episode would be revealed at length and in detail sooner or later. Nonetheless, the result would still b
You Are William's Only Weakness After listening to Crista, Lewis figured that she must be really sure about her words. He also knew that William was not stupid. William could see through everything that she was thinking just by looking into her eyes. He had no choice but to listen to her. Just before he let her leave, he had to have her body tonight. For the past two years he had tried to keep his distance from her because he had respected her choice, but he was just like any man. He didn't want to force Crista before, but now, things were different. Being decent and considerate would not get him anything, so he wanted to sleep with her at that very moment. Crista and Lewis stared at each other. Lewis could not help but frown when he thought that Crista, who should have been his had become William's. He put his hands on her shoulders and said, "I want you to please me, do you understand? Do you also look at William with the s
Lies Crista looked at Lewis and exclaimed, "You are out of your mind!" She never expected that he would say those words nor would they end up like this. "If you hate me, then do it!" Lewis shouted then turned around, so he would not have to look at her. "Get out. Don't make me regret this," he croaked. But instead of leaving, Crista walked towards him and grabbed his hand. She wrapped his wound with a handkerchief and said, "No matter what happens, I don’t think that you're cruel and selfish." She wanted to let him know that nothing could undo the things that had already happened. She had already promised him, and there was no way she would go back on her word. However, she hoped that he would keep his. Crista went to the bathroom and put on her clothes. Just as she stepped out of the room, she took one last look at Lewis. She closed the door, and Lewis' roar came from the inside. This made her lean against the wall i
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
