Crista stood in front of the wooden tombstone in the backyard, her mind drifting to the events more than two years ago. It was a nightmare back then, but strangely, she was not feeling any pain now. That must be a good thing. Sometimes, not feeling grief meant Crista had moved on from the past and had already started a new chapter.
"Whatever I say won't change anything, but if you want, we can have another child," William said, standing behind Crista. He would give her everything she desired. The problem was, half the time, he did not know what she craved, and when it seemed like he did know, she would change her mind.
"Maybe we were too naive back then," Crista replied, turning to face him. They were two people too ignorant to understand where their true feelings were coming from. At that time, she was so stubborn about holding on to what she thought she wanted that it slipped through her fingers in the end. Now

He Wanted Her Even If He Would Lose Everything Crista held back the words because she knew that even if she asked William, he would not answer her honestly. Hence, she decided not to ask him and increase his anxiety. Looking at her, William asked, "Aren't you going back with me?" It didn't matter whether he personally went to deal with the trouble or not. Now that things had already happened, it was pointless to do anything. "No, I can't help you. Besides, I will only be causing you trouble." Crista did not know how to face things anymore. So she chose to escape, instead. William didn't force her. After dinner, he left. Crista sat alone in the living room, and Maria made a cup of tea for her after she had cleaned up the dining table. "Crista, you haven't come back to the villa for so long. Do you still not like this house? After all, you did suffer a lot here." It was right. Maria had wanted to persuade her to stay ba

Do You Regret Your Promise To Me Crista kept swinging her arms in the air. The nightmare was haunting her and she was lost in it. She was seeing a pool of blood, which made her heart clench. She couldn't tell whether it was William's blood or Lewis' that she was seeing in her nightmare. "Chica, wake up. It's me, William.” William held her hand tightly. Crista woke up, feeling a sudden pain. When she opened her eyes, she saw William sitting in front of her. She did not know if she was still dreaming or if it was real. "You are awake. What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?'' William asked. He wondered what she could be hiding from him. If he had not come to her, then he would not have known that she was having a nightmare. And he might never have gotten the chance to hear what she had just said. Crista looked at the man in front of her in a daze, and asked, "Why are you here?" She sat up on the sofa and looked at him i

She Loved Him Too Looking at William's mysterious expression, Crista guessed where they were going. She had talked to Martin earlier that day and he had asked her to keep their meeting a secret. If she hadn't met him, she could not have guessed. Even though she had figured out the truth, she was not able to say it out now. She looked out of the window at the beautiful view. They were finally at the underground garage of the Royal Entertainment Club. Next to William's exclusive parking space was a row of black luxury cars. Holding Crista in his arms, William said, "Martin is back. You can stay with me, but don't drink too much." It was the first time that William had taken the initiative to bring Crista to his party, and since she was his date, his men would not just let her sit in a corner and sip on some tea. Crista looked at him and said, "If you don't want me to drink, then why did you bring me here?" She had been

It's Your Thoughts That Count Crista was sitting in her office. It was noon, and the other employees had left the office for lunch. She sat alone, lost in thought as she felt like she had no place to go to. She rested her chin on her palms as she looked out of the window. William had been standing outside her door for a while now, but she did not notice him at all. He figured that he should keep a close eye on her. "Aren't you going to have lunch?” William asked as he walked to her desk and tapped on it with his slender fingers. Only then did Crista come back to her senses. "Why are you here? I... I already ate.” The truth was that she did not have an appetite. William looked at his watch and asked, "Did you leave early to eat?" It was obvious that she was lying to him about it. 'How could she have eaten?' The corner of Crista's mouth twitched as she said, "Mr. Ding, I'm in the company now, and I can take care

Take Great Pains For A Woman Lewis was sitting in his car, pondering over what the woman had said. She was persuading him to give up his love for Crista. But how could it be possible? He had done so much already and had prepared for anything. He did not need to worry, did he? He could not imagine being without Crista, even knowing that she must hate him very much now. He was no longer the Lewis she knew before, and he was not expecting her to have a sudden change of mind and fall in love with him in the end. His right hand gripped the steering wheel, and the white handkerchief still wrapped around his fist got his attention. His wounds had healed, but he did not want to take the cloth off. It was like a feeble attempt to keep a part of Crista with him. Lewis scoffed at himself. He did not know why he was still holding on. Why did he have to force Crista so harshly? He had never imagined that he and Crista would end up on such

Those Who Really Knew Him Crista just couldn't give up her love for William. If she could, then she would not have gone through so much pain in the past few years. Now, she seemed to understand William's feelings for her, but she thought that he would never confess his feelings for her. However, she was willing to do anything for him. "I know you love William. But do you really think that you can give him what he needs? How much do you think you can help him?" Carla looked at her and took a deep breath before she continued, "Look, Lewis wants you. I don't want to force you, but he will. He will force William too. He will drive both of you into a comer. Did you ever think about that?" Crista smiled faintly and asked, "Why do you think so? You know Mr. Ding better than me, don't you?" Carla was surprised to hear her answer. She had worked for William for a long time now. Didn't she know him well enough? Was Crista the only one

He Underestimated Her Hearing Lewis' words, William frowned and said, "I don't understand. What are you even talking about? Are you trying to justify what you've done?" Why did Lewis hate him so much? As he thought of that, William's brows furrowed deeper. Did Lewis misunderstand something about him? "You don't understand? Maybe you have forgotten what happened all those years ago." Lewis sneered. William had done so many hateful things that it was not unusual for him to forget some of them. Wasn't he just a heartless man? And hadn’t he achieved everything that he had in life by being a heartless man? But what about Lewis? He had become an orphan more than ten years ago and had lost everything because of William. Looking at Lewis, William suddenly understood that Anpu was the one behind his thirst for revenge. Lewis had always been Anpu's pawn. Did it mean that he had used Crista as a mere piece in his game of

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
