"No!" Bert shouted as he crawled across the room, reaching out a hand and grabbing William's leg. "Mr. Ding, I know you like Chica. Don't you want to know her identity? I can tell you something about her background.”
William stopped in his tracks and looked down with a mix of curiosity. "What is it? Do you know who Chica's biological parents are?"
Bert leaned forward, eager as if sensing hope for the first time. "I will tell you if you let me go!" Crista was the only chink in William’s armor, and if it were not for her, he and Cristine would have died two years ago. He had sent his daughter out of the country so she could start over. He had also believed that Crista had died back then, and the secrets would never be out in the open. It was a pity nothing stayed buried forever.
"Do you take me as a fool? If you are so impatient to tell me about it, then go and say it. Otherwise, shut the hell up

You Can Give Him Happiness Crista was sitting on the bed. She could still feel traces of William's presence in the bed, but she could not remember when she had fallen asleep. She only remembered his insatiable desire for her the previous night. She turned around and saw a blank check on the bedside table. With a bitter smile, she thought that he was being very generous. He had already given her two blank checks. Wasn’t he worried that she might fill up a huge number on those checks and make him go broke? However, William did not know that even if she did such a thing, his wealth would still last him ten more lifetimes. William was a man who could make money in the blink of an eye. After all, he had started from scratch and worked hard to establish Ding Group, making a lot of profit bit by bit. Crista walked into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. Seeing the marks that he had left on her body, she could not help bu

She Still Loved Him Crista left the tea house and walked alone, feeling a little uneasy. What should she do now? Was it really possible for them to be together again? Their relationship had ended in a bitter way, so now, she felt like she just could not go back to being the same way as she was before. Suddenly, a car came to a screeching halt in front of her. Turning around, Crista saw that it was Lewis, with a beautiful woman in the passenger seat. She looked rather pale and her eyes were wet with tears. It was obvious that she had been crying. Lewis got out of the car, walked up to Crista, and asked, "Where have you been? Why didn't you come to me?” He had been looking for her, so after meeting her on the street, he wondered how she was doing. Why hadn't she gone to him? Did she still hate him? Maybe, she did. It would only be strange if she did not hate him after everything that he had done to her.

Why Can't You Love Me Lewis looked at her and asked, "Why him, Chica? Why can't you love me?" He really wanted to know why she could not bring herself to love him. "No particular reason.” Crista put one hand on his chest and the other hand on the sofa, feeling uncomfortable. There was no reason to explain why she couldn't love Lewis back. After all, love was decided by the heart and not the mind, which had the ability to reason. During the two years when they had been together, they had remained as good friends, and neither of them crossed that line, even though to Lewis it had felt like a huge gap that was separating them. "Is it because he slept with you?" Women always fell for the man to whom they had offered their body, and Crista had not done anything of that sort with Lewis. He thought that he had been respectful to her by not forcing her, but in the end he had lost her because of that. 'Why shou

Do You Want To Go To My Place Lewis trailed the taxi Crista took. When the cab stopped in front of the towering building of Ding Group, he let out a small, unhinged laugh. So she still came to see William! Lewis felt like a clown for foolishly persisting. It appeared his efforts were all for naught. He did not spare Crista another look and pulled away, his hatred toward William achieving greater heights than before. Crista paid the fare and got out of the cab. She winced as her already blistered feet scraped the sides of her shoes. With enormous effort, she limped forward and extended her hand to grab the nearby wall for support. She was so exhausted that she had no strength to take another step. William and his secretary were on their way down with a stack of documents in tow. He was mentally running over the finer details of his business meeting when he spotted the all too familiar figure hunkered down the foyer. He

Charge For Sex Crista’s words made William burst into laughter. "Are you upset? Or are you jealous? Why do I sense a bitterness coming from you?" "Nonsense. I'm going back." Crista didn't want to continue quarreling with him because it was childish and he was just playing with her. William picked her up and went downstairs. He put her in his car and drove to her apartment to let her rest. But then Crista realized that it would be inconvenient for her to stay home. After all, the doctor had advised her not to get her wound wet. How was she supposed to take a bath, then? Moreover, she couldn't even walk. William made himself at home and opened the wardrobe, took a pair of pajamas, and threw it on the bed. He then walked to Crista, and undressed her without even asking if she wanted to change or not. Crista thought that he was being rude. She didn't even have a chance to say no. "What... What are you doing?" She pulled t

A Hug After dinner, Crista sat on the bed, flipping through a magazine. William was sitting on the sofa with a laptop, typing something. Crista thought that he should not be with her if he was so busy. If he continued to stay with her, then she would feel indebted to him, but she knew that she was responsible because she had brought it upon herself. However, she couldn’t help but shiver when she thought of what Lewis had done to her. William was busy dealing with the e-mails, so he didn't pay her any attention. He thought that she would have fallen asleep, but when he looked at her, he saw that she was staring out of the window in a daze. It was obvious that Lewis' actions earlier that day had left a scar on her mind. He wanted to ignore her and continue with his work, but when he saw her again, his heart was filled with an uneasy feeling. Crista sensed his shadow above her, lifted her head, and asked, "Are you done?"

I Will Make You Pay For That Crista didn't refuse, and nodded as she said, "I see." Her injuries weren't serious, and she would recover in just a few more days. "Don't go out no matter who asks to see you," William said. He knew that Anpu wouldn’t give up until he had achieved his goal. Although Lewis was still investigating the Lui's family case from more than ten years ago, it was impossible for him to dig out anything if someone wanted to hide the truth from him. Hearing that, Crista nodded, but said nothing. "Did you hear what I said clearly?" William asked in a serious tone, grabbing her arm. "Yeah, yes!" Crista was lost in thought, but she knew that if she did not say that she heard him, he would not be pleased with her. Seeing that she nodded her head guiltily, he lifted her. turned around, and walked to the bedroom. They both lay down on the bed, hugging each other. It was rare for them to be so peacef

The Missed Calls Lewis had never loved Chery, nor had he cared about their unborn baby. She should not have gotten pregnant in the first place! That incident was the catalyst that drove a splitting, irreparable wedge between him and Crista. Crista had made it clear that she did not want to become a burden in his life. Not even her bad health could sway her into seeking relief from him during the two years they lived in Italy. She had remained steadfast with her convictions of leaving him and giving him freedom. If he told her he wanted another woman, she would leave him without hesitation. There was no relationship between them, and whatever remaining connection there existed, fragile as it was, could shatter with just one word from him. "Don't you have anything to say? This woman only wants your money! Do you think she loves you? Or were you thinking that a woman with a similar name can replace Crista? When did you b

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
