Crista changed her clothes and walked out of the bathroom. William was waiting outside. He took a quick glance at her as his jaws clenched. Without another word, he turned and stormed out. She ran after him obediently.

The car ride was most awkward, which made her shrink into the corner. The air inside the silver Bentley was so tense that Crista could only took out of the window and pray it'd end soon.

Whenever he'd shift for the slightest, she'd tremble, fearing he'd pull her close without her consent.

The car ride was mostly silent. An hour late, they reach William's luxurious willa. The elegant villa an exquisite layout which only William could afford.

The car slid into the garage and came to a halt. William got off the car and ordered her in a bitter tone, " Got off! "

The Jin Family also owned a villa, but it was incomparable to William's enormous one. She timidly followed behind William, taking each step cautiously.

" Sir, you are back. " The butler, Ben, ran up to them and glanced at the beautiful woman behind William, but said nothing.

William didn't respond as he went to the living room and sat down on the sofa. Maria came out shorthly and served him coffee in a delicate and expensive coffee cup. " Sir, here is your coffee. " William had a habit of drinking coffee at this time.

William smelled the strong fragrance of the coffee, made from the top class Jamaican coffee beans. It was his favorite smell.

Crista, meanwhile, stood there uneasily. The serious ambience inside the villa reminded her again that she didn't belong her. But, the fact was, she couldn't escape.

Suddenlly, the coffee cup fell to the ground and broke into pieces with a bang. " Sir! " Maria exclaimed and immediately went to clean it up, but stopped midway when William help up his hand.

" You, come her and clean it up! " he gesture to Crista and ordered cruelly. Crista flinched in surprise. She looked up at him, flabbergasted.

" Mrs. Ding, what's wrong? Didn't you hear me? Or do you want to defy me? " William asked sarcastically.

Crista blink, averted her gaze. It didn't matter to him if she was relunctant to do it, he'd make her do it anyway. Besides, she had done such things in the Jin Family before.

For her, It was an easy task. Crista quietly bent down, picked up the pieces one by one and threw them intothe trash can. Maria gave her the duster cloth, which she used to clean the floor afte picking up the pieces.

Her eyes fell on the coffee stains on his shoes. She carefully wiped them with tissue papers, fearing he might kick her if he disliked the act.

But her cautiousness didn't prevent him from despising her. To the woman he hated the most, he would show no mercy.

However, William couldn't understand why Crista was being so compromising. He never expected her to obey him without questioning anything.

Suddenly, he withdrew his feet, slightly unsure of how he should react. Crista looked up him, half scared, half consfused. Did she do something wrong? Wasn't he satisfied?

William leaned forward and grabbed her chin forcefully. " From now on, you'll stay in here without making any fuss. You're not allowed to go out without my permission. Also, you'll have to take care of everything I'd want you to do. Do you understand? " he questioned with an authoritative tone. She understood that he wanted her to live here as a servant and not as Mrs. Ding. 

" Yes! " Crista nodded.

" Good girl! " He acknowledged her answer before standing up and walking away.

" Wait, I have something to ask. " Seeing that he was about to leave, Crista stopped hin in a hurry.

William turned towards her. " If you need anything, just ask Ben or Maria. " He didn't want to talk to her anymore.

" No! Not that! " Crista reached for his hand and held it hesitantly before saying, " I'm willing to do whenever you ask me to do, but I want to go to school. "

She wanted to go to school? William was taken aback. Was it a joke? " You want to go to school? Are you kidding me? You are Cristine Jin, Now Mrs.Ding You can get whatever you want. Then why do you want to go to school? Beside, as far as my knowledge tells me, you never were a good student. " He snorted.

Crista didn't know what to say. Cristine might have never cared about anything, but Crista was different. She wanted to stand on her own feet and fulfill her dreams.

" Don't bother me anymore! " He pushed her away, turned back and left there after.

" Mr.Ding " Crista, however, didn't give up so easily. She wanted to follow him, but was stopped by Maria. " You can't go upstairs! You can't go up to the second floor without premission! "

" No? Why? " Crista need to talk to him anyhow. It took her a lot of effort to get into the university. She had worked the whole summer vacation to earn the course fees. Then how could she give up so easiy?

She ran upstairs as soon as Maria was a little distracted. When she barged in to his room, William yelled aloud, extremely infuriated, " Who allowed you to come upstairs? "

Crista flinched and realize, she had been reckless. She shouldn't have come at the second floor without his permission.

" Get out!" Seeing that Crista was still standing at the door, William roared again.

Crista flinched again at the intensity of how he spke. She quickly looked down and didn't dare to look up at him again. She just wanted to run and hide from him.

    William norrowed his eys and walked up to her " As far as I heard, they call you brave. Then why are you afraid now? " " I... I just want to go to school " Crista stuttered, lowering her head. " If you've come here to talk about school, you don't have to. Because that won't happen. " William had never thought that Cristine would beg for his permission to go to school. He believed she was trying to fool him, so that she could meet her friends outside and do whatever she wanted. Crista was crestfallen when he denied her request. Could she never go to school again?. She would graduate in two years. If he denied her now, her dreams would never get fulfilled.

Seeing that William wasn't eating and only staring intently at the food, Maria informed, " Today's lunch is made by Mrs. Ding ". One of William's eyebrows raised up as he shifted his gaze at Crista. " You can cook? ". " Only a few simple dishes. " Crista answered honestly as her cheeks took a red hue. But she was well aware of his disdain from his words. It was discernable that she made an unnecessary move. William however, averted his gaze from her and began to eat slowly, savoring the taste. Standing next to him, Crista felt uneasy.

    Crista didn't answer her friends. Because she knew they wouldn't understand her situation, no matter how much she explained. Crista spend a long time in the library after their conversation. Not until it was dark that she felt her eyes straining. Rubbing her eyes, she raised her head and eyed around the place. There were few people in the library now. Crista sighed as she put away the books and rubbed her sore shoulders. Her eyes drifted to the clock on the wall as realization washed over her. She was late to return to the villa. She fronwed. This was bad. This shouldn't have happened. Crista quickly stood up and run outside. She saw a familiar car, already waiting for her. " Nico, I'm so sorry! I didn't realize it was already this late." Nico looked at her indifferently and said, " Mrs. Ding, please get in the car! Mr. Ding is waiting for you in the villa. " The entire ride going home, she fidgeted nervously.

" She needs to have an injection to bring down her fever. Otherwise, she might catch pneumonia " the doctor said while preparing the injection. " Is Mrs.Ding's fever too bad?" Maria was anxious because she knew Mr.Ding was short-tempered. If anything happened to his newly wedded wife, he might get furious. "Well, it's somewhat serious. She is too weak right now. She needs to have a good rest. " The doctor gave Crista the injection then wrote the prescription. Although, her temperature dropped after taking the injection, she was still unconscious. When William came back, it was almost dawn. As he entered the hall, he found no one there. " Maria! " he called out.

Meanwhile, William was with Carla in a luxurious private room of the Max Entertainment Club. Carla was sitting beside him intimately. "Mr. Ding, you haven't been here for a long time. Isn't it?" The Max Entertainment Club was one of the businesses owned by Wiliam's WC Group, managed by Carla. "Yes, I was busy in the company," William explained in a flat tone. Carla noticed he was drinking too much. "You must not drink too much alcohol, Mr. Ding. Let me change the wine with a light one for you. Okay?" Carla took his glass from him cautiously. William wrapped his arms around her and asked, "Are you worried for me?" "Yes. You will damage your stomach if you drink too much alcohol." Carla poured a glass of light wine and gave it to him. "You never take care of yourself."

    William didn't realize that he'd bump into that stupid woman while entering the villa. So he didn't even help her when she stumbled back and fell on her bum. His eyes turned cold as he watched her with pursed lips. Crista hissed in pain before raising her eyes and met with William's icy glare. She gulped and apologized immediately, "I'm sorry, I didn't notice you coming." "Who are you going to meet in such a hurry?" William sneered at her making Crista flinch. Of course, she couldn't get lucky all the time, and the devil had to come at this time just to prove that. "I was just going to school." Crista whined as she got up staggering slightly. She refrained herself from saying anything else, because she knew he would not believe her anyway. According to William, everything she said was just an excuse. "Really?" Obviously, William didn't believe her. Crista took a glance at her watch. She'd be late today. Her eyes shifted back to William

    After Crista prepared the dishes and served them at the table, Carla looked at them with a disgusted expression. William and Carla were sitting face to face. William asked her to taste the dishes and give her opinion about them. Carla tasted each of them and was very much unsatisfied with the taste. She either pointed out the dishes were too salty or too spicy. Seeing that, William glared at Crista and asked, "Are you taking your revenge on me because I asked you to cook?" "No, it's nothing like that." Crista shook her head. It was so very obvious that they intentionally picked on her. She had nothing to say because it wouldn't make any difference. "No? Because, none of these dishes is edible! These taste so bad!" he snapped then got up and threw away all the food to the ground. The floor was a mess now. Crista although had expected this, it still hurt her feelings. She had cooked with so much dedication, but he didn't even value her hard work. All of

    Crista looked down at the porridge made by Maria and got overwhelmed by her generosity. She was so touched that it made her teary. Her eyes welled up and tears streamed down her face. "Mrs. Ding, please enjoy your breakfast. You ate nothing last night. You are still sick and I just received the news that Mr. Ding won't come back today. So, you can rest at home peacefully." Maria gave her an encouraging smile and went back to the kitchen. After the breakfast, Crista put on a white coat and went to the garden. Sitting alone on a bench, she eyed around the place. The garden was beautiful, but she didn't like it. Her heavy heart made it impossible to concentrate on the beauty. The entire day she stayed at home. But this could not go on forever.

    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

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.

    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
