Author: Wan He Chui Yan 1I first met Christopher Simmons at the house of my dad's best friend, Oscar Simmons.It was my favorite snowy day that day. Snowy days gave me an excuse not to join those children playing outside, so I could stay on the couch and watch TV shows.However, there were just some children who couldn't even let me enjoy my drama in peace."Get out!""Hit him!"Annoyed by the noise in the yard, I opened the door. Immediately, a snowball hit me. I pursed my lips and felt the urge to lash out at them.However, I was used to acting like an elegant princess since I was young. In the end, I rubbed my head, pulled on my sleeves, and complained, "Can you guys stop being so rowdy?"The children's leader was Henry Simmons, Oscar's son. He was a chubby boy with a fierce look. With a frown, he turned around and said, "This is my house, and you're in no place to order me around!"I was shocked."Henry! What are you doing? Apologize to Becca!"Oscar appeared b
7This time, they were robbing Christopher.It happened in the alley.The street vendor was at the entrance of the alley.The alley was dark. I wanted to go and check it out but was immediately frightened when I heard the sounds of a fight. However, the owner of the street vendor was an experienced lady. She walked forward and yelled, "Who's fighting there?"The alley fell silent instantly. After a while, Christopher walked over.The corners of his mouth were bloodstained, and his eyes were also red. He lowered his head slightly, and his hair covered his fair skin. He looked miserable.The street vendor lady was so distressed that she asked, "Young boy, do you want some food?"I was speechless.At that moment, I stood next to him with a plate in my hand and fries in my mouth.Christopher looked at me.I didn't know what to say."Do you want some?"This was the first sentence of my third meeting with Christopher. It was an incredibly awkward situation.Christopher shook hi
13Christopher, who was drunk, was very cute and obedient.Seeing his occasional sour expression as he drank the apple cider, I realized how happy it felt to be an elder sister."Christopher, are you awake? If you're awake, go home and shower!"Christopher was holding the bottle in his slender hand. He looked down at me and asked, "Do you think of me as your brother?"I was stunned momentarily and felt that he was too close to me. I smiled and said, "You can forget what I said if you don't like it.""I do," said Christopher.Christopher replied seriously and looked at me with his big bright eyes. He smiled and added, "Finally, someone in this world wants to be related to me."He spoke with such a sad tone, but I didn't overthink his words. I was slightly distressed. "Don't say that. You're excellent. I'm sure more and more people will be willing to be related to you!"I wasn't lying, as Christopher was excellent. His grades, appearance, and even height were outstanding.Chris
16William left as soon as the rain stopped.I also cleaned up the cutlery and went upstairs with the bouquet.I'd been playing the entire day, and it was almost midnight. I was slightly tired. I arranged the flowers in a vase, took my pajamas, and headed to the shower.I felt comfortable after taking a shower. However, the sound of something breaking suddenly came over."Who is it?"My heart skipped a bit, and I brazenly opened the bathroom door.Apart from the fragments of the vase and the faint light the flowing water reflected, nothing was in the room.A trace of coldness appeared in my heart. I subconsciously wanted to find some weapons, but the only suitable item I found was a belt after feeling around for some time.My fear was amplified little by little, and I started panicking. I turned around but didn't see anyone. I then walked downstairs and found that the kitchen door was open. The cutlery inside was also broken.I was shocked and quickly looked for my phone. I q
19"Come here."It was Christopher's voice.I subconsciously looked over and met his gentle smile. A chill grew in my heart. "We're in our school."Christopher smiled and walked over. He said softly, "So you want me to kiss you here?"My body went limp, and my voice was trembling. "Are you crazy?"Christopher said, "Do you want to do it here, or are you coming with me?"It was another situation where he provided me with no choices.I responded stiffly, "I have a class."Christopher just smiled and stretched his hand toward me. I subconsciously grabbed him, and he took the opportunity to hold my hand. Christopher rubbed my hand and said, "Your hand's as soft as that area.""You're shameless!"I tried to withdraw my hand, but Christopher clenched it tightly and stared at me.I felt tears welling up in my eyes and was about to cry. Christopher then led me into a nearby storeroom."Open your mouth," he said.Christopher leaned forward and pressed against me.I looked at him
23Fortunately, I was too weak to be pregnant then, but I ended up with severe depression.Ultimately, I didn't have the energy to continue my studies. Instead, I completely hid from the world.However, Christopher still managed to find me. To be more specific, he deceived me into returning to his side."Becca."After it ended, Christopher hugged me and smiled gently as he held my hand.It was a long night.Just like what Christopher promised, he had ruined me."Becca," said Christopher gently.In the dark room, I closed my eyes and didn't avoid his kiss."You're being so obedient today?" asked Christopher."I wish to visit Dylan," I replied.Misfortune had befallen us. Something went wrong with our family business, and Dylan met with an accident.Christopher curled his lips upward and smiled. He brushed the baby hair behind my ear away and looked at me.He didn't have to speak, and I already knew what he was thinking.I was slightly tired. "I'll be back tonight..."Chr
27Both Henry and I were unhappy about the meal. However, I didn't voice out my unhappiness like him.It was true that children who threw tempers would be doted on. However, it would become a problem if they constantly threw tantrums.Especially when the relationship was interconnected to interests. The more Henry shouted, the more biased Oscar was toward Christopher.Adults would always like sensible children."Becca is still here. Look how you're acting now."I spoke softly when they suddenly cued my name, "Mr. Simmons, let's have dinner."Oscar paused momentarily and stopped scolding Henry.I didn't eat much and was hungry the moment I arrived home. Dad sent me back with a hesitant expression on his face. It felt like he had something to talk to me about.I spoke up as I guessed his thoughts. "Henry's quite cute."Henry was indeed quite cute, so I didn't give a sure answer. I knew that Henry wasn't interested in me. So, allowing him to choose would give me less trouble.D
31After the incident, I became acutely aware of Christopher's instability and decided to exercise caution whenever I left the house. I also realized the advantages of owning multiple residences.I had the liberty to select various accommodations depending on my mood throughout the day.However, the announcement he made, threatening to force me to pay around 15 million dollars, left me feeling apprehensive.For approximately a month, my life had been peaceful until one night when its tranquility was shattered.That night, Dylan was apprehended by relevant authorities, leaving Annie to approach me in tears despite being pregnant. Meanwhile, Dad was still in business negotiations overseas, placing the responsibility of assisting Annie solely on me.Upon discovering the circumstances surrounding Dylan's apprehension, I immediately suspected Christopher's involvement. However, I refrained from approaching Christopher and instead sought out Oscar. Unfortunately, my attempts to meet wi
