Gianna got out of the car and then stood with the driver at a distance from the car.

The car's engine was smoking too much, and then it finally stopped.

The driver said, "I'll go check it out."

Gianna also followed over to look.

But she couldn't do much.

She hadn’t taken her driving test to this day.

The driver opened the bonnet, and instantly a strong burnt and pungent smell came out.

The driver uncle said to Gianna, apologetically, "I'm sorry, Miss, the engine is bad, it can't be driven anymore, I'll call the tow truck , I can't send you to the school, so hurry up and order a new taxi, don't worry, I'll reimburse you for all your losses and fares."

Gianna looked at the driver whose face looked sincere and remorseful.

She was helpless.

The engine got bad and the driver was more distressed than she was.

Gianna said, understandingly, "It's fine, I'll re-take a taxi." She reordered on her mobile phone.

However, it was off the beaten track and late at night, and the taxi app didn't have

    Gianna was startled.“Hey, be careful!”At this point, she didn’t want to get into any random car.She just wanted to wait until the tow truck got here.But with the way the driver dashed into the road, what if the person riding the other car doesn’t see him and knocks him down?She sighed when she saw the incoming car getting slower and slower.It finally came to a steady stop in front of the older man and her.Gianna’s heart thumped when she saw the customized plate number on the Maybach.And the next moment, the backseat window rolled down, revealing Maxim’s stunningly cold face.Maxim’s deep eyes landed on her, eyes like torches with the aggression of locked prey, and in his dark, heavy eyes was an endless flame.Gianna’s heart snapped.Subconsciously, she took a few steps back.The driver rushed over when he saw Maxim roll down the window.“Excuse me sir, my car has broken down, this lady is my passenger, can you please give her a lift downtown?"Gianna hurriedly obstructed the o

    Maxim ordered.”Get down."Luckily, it wasn't very far from the downtown area, and it was easy to take a taxi.Even if she couldn't get one, she could walk back to the downtown area and take another cab.Gianna reached for the car door but it was locked.She looked back at Maxim with questioning eyes, as if asking what he meant.At this moment, the sound of an open car door rang out.Both the driver in the driver's seat and the assistant sitting as passenger’s seat opened their doors and walked out.In an instant, she and Maxim were left in the cramped car.Alarm bells rang in Gianna’s heart.Subconsciously, she stepped back a little in the direction of the car door, but there wasn’t much room to retreat.She was touching the cold iron car door.She looked at Maxim and her eyes sank.“Let me out.”Maxim narrowed his eyes slightly and leaned against the car door to look at her, dark colours surging in his eyes.His slender hand lifted the valuable suit on his body, pulling out a black c

    *GIANNA* Was I being delusional holding onto the belief that he would change even after three years? Was I being delusional or simply being stupid? But right now as I stood in front of the mirror staring at my gorgeous gown. I realized that it might've been worth the wait,the heartbreak and the pain. We were finally going to get engaged. Two months ago,my boyfriend Maximus had promised me that he'd stop hurting me. And so far he had kept to his word. And now,Maximus and I were about to celebrate our engagement party. Soon,I'll be Mrs Lewis. I smiled at myself again.The party planner walked up to me and informed me that it was time to make our appearance at the hall. I grinned.I didn't want to keep my guests waiting for long. "Have you told Maxim? Where is he?"I asked the host. "I've searched everywhere for him, so I assumed he was with you,"the host replied, looking just as puzzled. I had been so busy that I hadn't confirmed whether Maxim was here, but who wouldn't attend

My father told me that a man must seize his career before a woman can love you.I have always regarded this sentence from my father as my attitude towards life, and Anna has always accepted it. I am sure that calling off the engagement yesterday is not a big deal, which is why I can accept Anna by my side for five years. She is like a pet dog I have. She needs me, which makes my desire for control extremely satisfying.When I needed her, she would come running over with a smile. She was so cute.I tried to move my stiff neck, but the pain kept me from moving. but I had a fast remedy at home.Anna gives the best neck massages.I especially like how her fingers felt against my skin.Not that I'm going to ever tell her that though."Anna."I called.“Gianna."I called again as I settled onto the couch

    *GIANNA*Marry him? Did I hear it wrong?"What…what are you saying,Griffin?""Please, Anna. I know this is sudden for you, but I'm running out of time. I need to find someone to marry me."I immediately brought him to my villa. Griffin didn't seem like a casual guy, so I had to know his reasons for this. I got him a cup of coffee, then sat down looking at him. "Listen, Griffin, I want to know why you're doing this."Griffin took a sip of coffee, then took a deep breath and began telling his story.Griffin told me that he had just returned to our small town as well. He had married the daughter of a wealthy family overseas. Unfortunately, Griffin's wife passed away about a year ago. After that, his in-laws had been fighting him for custody of the child. His in-laws insisted that their daughter's death was related to Griffin, but the truth was, his wife was willing to marry him because she wanted to escape her overly controlling parents. She had no freedom and felt like a corpse.In their

I hope he succeeds.Maxim, my lips keep popping this name in my spare time. It's been almost a week now, and I've blocked anyone or news related to Maxim, and I'm sure he won't be uncomfortable with me leaving because I'm just a cheap toy for him, and he can always find a replacement.I read some books and mostly spent the time at the garden.I planted a lot of flowers and vegetables and while working on the garden,I realized what I wanted to do for work for now.I wanted to be a florist.I quickly made a mental note to immediately start looking for a store.This house was beginning to take shape again and feel like home since I was back to look after it.My doorbell rang.I quickly set aside my shovel.I had ordered some takeouts and I was starving.I washed my hands in a rush and headed

    Gavin responded respectfully and drove off.Gavin was his new special assistant.Gavin was very competent and did not say much to his superiors.Maxim leaned back in his seat, his fingers gently tapping on the armrests as he thought about how the woman ran off.Well, since she didn’t appear to be interested in him, there was no need to approach her.********Gianna hurriedly ran away and reached the room upstairs, her heart beating wildly.She didn't understand why Maxim was here, let alone why he was looking at her with that kind of look.Maybe it was just a coincidence.Gianna reassured herself, deciding to put this incident behind her.Maxim was in the past now. Everything about Maxim was in the past so she didn’t need to think about him anymore.Running into him today was just a coincidence.There won't be a next time.**********But the next time came quicker than she e

    Gianna knew about the event, which was about a hundred or so girls coming together on a reality show, competing in singing and dancing, and seeing who came out on top at the end.Gianna agreed after a moment's hesitation."Okay, I'll go."Talia smiled."Okay, then get ready, there's an event in two months time, I'll take you to it.""Okay.”Gianna then decided to take this time to run some personal errands.Like getting an abortion.******On the same day, a video of Gianna dancing the Moonlight Dance exploded on the Internet.Bright face, delicate body, solid skills, it was an absolutely beautiful dance.It was a hit.Josh was in Declan’s hospital room, swiping his cell phone and going through the internet, when he happened to see this dance, performed by Gianna.He raised an eyebrow and looked at Gianna, who was dancing in the video."So Gianna is such a good dancer?"Declan was eating the peeled fruit.Hearing him mention Gianna, he froze for a moment.Josh directly showed Declan t

    Gianna smiled, slightly at him."Relax, I think I like it this way, that Maxim doesn’t remember me anymore. We will not torture each other ever again."Trevor’s expression was all over the place, and after a moment of silence, he said softly, "Gianna, have you really let go of him? I see that your eyes are still a bit complicated when you talk about him.”Gianna picked up his coffee cup and took a shallow sip, not answering Trevor’s words with a straight face, but instead sighed, "Forgetting me might be a relief for him."Trevor sighed, "The two of you obviously love each other, but because of Nadia stirring things up and downs. However, since this is fate, perhaps one day he will remember you."Gianna smiled, her tone somewhat helpless,“I don’t want him to. He should not recall anything about me.” She took a sip of her coffee.A mouth full of bitterness.That was why she doesn't like coffee.Milk tea was unhealthy, but it was sweet!Life was already hard, don't make it harder.Go fo

    Maxim glanced at him impatiently.“Then who did I save?”The cool eyes seemed to be saying: was there another woman besides Nadia who could make him do something like that?Trevor sucked in a breath of cold air.“Don’t you remember Gi…”"Ahem!"Grandpa Lewis coughed on the side.Then he said to Maxim, "The doctor say you’re out of danger. You should get more rest now.”Maxim had just woken up, very tired, and he felt a vague throbbing in his temples.He felt restless.It was like there was a fog in his head that seems to cover up very important areas.He tried to lift the fog, but as soon as the thought came to him, his brain flared and jangled, and every nerve pulled at him as if it were tearing at his soul.It was painful.Trevor looked at him in this situation, what else did he not understand?Maxim had lost his memory.He had selective memory loss and he seemed to have forgotten about Gianna.Trevor was not sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing.He said to Liam, "Well, then

    “Come on, come with me to see my brother."Maxim was recently hospitalized, and Liam knew about it.Only he didn't know that Maxim had just been in a serious car accident.Nadia was already completely unable to think, only the thought of being in complete ruins filled her mind.Liam took Nadia straight to the hospital.When they reached the outside of Maxim’s exclusive ward, it happened that the Trevor who was inside pulled open the door and walked out.Trevor frowned when he saw Liam dragging Nadia over.“What did you bring her here?”Trevor really didn’t want anyone messing up with Maxim in his current state now.It was even useless for Gianna to come here.Liam glanced into the hospital room, and in an instant, saw Grandpa Lewis’s figure, and his face instantly turned white with fear.Liam tensed recalling the strain relationship he had with Grandpa Lewis.Grandpa Lewis didn’t like him because he wasn’t his mother’s real son.He was the son from an affair his father had.His birth
