*GIANNA*

At the early hours of the following morning,I left the house to go down the street.

I didn't fail to notice the bodyguards following me while trying to pretend as if they were just regular passerbys.

I shook my head focusing on getting the morning after pill.

I got it from the pharmacy and went back to the mansion.I had just taken it and I was having breakfast when I heard my name being called,harshly.

"Gianna!Gianna!Come out here this instant!"

I rolled my eyes.It was Mona.

"Do you want me to go tell her you're not home?"Grace asked me.

I shook my head."I'll go see what she wants."

Hiding from her would only make her keep seeing me as a weak little girl.

I got up and walked out of the dining room.

She was in the living room,and she was fuming.

"I told you to come over to serve my friends and you had the nerves to refuse?!Not only that,you blocked me?!Do you know how embarrassed I was?!They are probably still talking about it!"

"How is that my problem?"I asked her.

"Are you t

    *GIANNA*I stared at the massive skyscraper as we pulled up in front of it.Maxim was a total jerk to me but one thing I admire about him was how productive and hardworking he was.His influence as a billionaire was huge and he was well respected in the country.So I have to hand it to him,he was a great man,even if he could never be a great man to me,romantically.We got down from the car and he reached out to hold my hand but I moved away from him.He cocked an eyebrow."Gianna,it's either you let me hold you or I'll carry you all the way up to my office."I scoffed."Do you seriously have to threaten me everytime?!""It's your choice."I sighed and then choose to let him hold me.I really didn't want to make a scene.He walked into the company and then headed for the elevator,holding my hand.We passed by a lot of his employees and I could tell that all eyes were on us.I could understand though.Maxim never really held me in public and I came to understand that he didn't like public

    *GIANNA*I stared at Nadia who was dressed in a white dress.She looked so pretty and delicate as usual.I watched as she walked up to us and asked again."What's going on,Maxim,why do you look so angry?"She asked in a low soft voice.Jacob got on his knees and cried out."Miss Nadia,I did nothing wrong but Mr Lewis is firing me.I think someone talked badly about me to him."He looked at me as he said that."Did he do something wrong,Maxim?Jacob has been working for you for five years now.What could possibly have gone wrong?"I crossed my arms as I watched the drama unfold in front of me.I wasn't dating Maxim anymore so I wasn't affected by the fact that this woman was talking to him in an overly sweet voice.And then she turned to me."What could Jacob possibly have done to you,Anna?""Why are you people blaming me for his dismissal?!Jacob had been rude to me countlessly in the past,if you think I had the power to get him fired,don't you also think I'd have done it a long time ago?Ma

    *MAXIMUS*By the time we got to the hospital,Gillian was already waiting for us.I had informed him on the way that Nadia had fainted.She was rushed to the emergency room while I sat outside the ward with my head rested against the wall.The only thing on my mind was how Gianna was feeling right now.Of all days,why did Nadia come to my company today?I had only done the only reasonable thing to do,to quickly get her to the hospital.I mean,I couldn't let her die in my company.But I had neglected Gianna again.I had literally promised never to do that only to break it seconds later!Fuck!I buried my face into my palms,frustratedly."I just finished talking to the doctor."And that was Gillian's voice."Was she overstimulated today at your company?He said her head injury when she was attacked hadn't fully healed and getting tensed must have led to her passing out.What happened at your company?She looked happy this morning going to show you her medical report?You know her health better

    Over the years,Nadia had gotten used to pretending to pass out whenever she wanted to.She always did it so well and no one except Gillian knew that she was only pretending.When the doctor and nurses left the ward after examining her,she slowly opened her eyes.She sighed,looking around and realizing she was alone.She then smiled to herself happy that she had messed up Maxim and Gianna's relationship again.She couldn't believe Maxim had fired and beaten up Jacob because of Gianna.For the longest of time she didn't want to believe that Maxim might really be in love with Gianna especially because he always put his work before Gianna so she thought Gianna might not mean much to him.But right now,it was hard to understand him.She slowly sat up feeling so upset.Even the way he spoke to her at the company was unnerving.Maxim had always been so soft to her and he even shut the door on her face.It was as if Maxim didn't care about her existence anymore.Nadia held her head,feeling so both

    *GIANNA*After leaving Maxim's company,I stopped by a cafe to get coffee and some snacks.As I sat there and ate,I wished I could just leave the city from here.But I couldn't run away from Maxim.I know that when he chased me from city to city.I guess I just have to harden my defenses now.Maxim is a proud man.He knows that a lot of women wanted him.I had felt that if I continued showing him that I was completely uninterested in him,he would feel disrespected and frustrated and then let me go.After all,why would he bother pestering one woman when he could have so many others?So far,I had failed to push him to the end of his rope but from now on,I was going to give it all I got.I would push him to the edge of a cliff if I had to.My cellphone rang out.It was Ellie.Smiling,I picked up."Hello.""Girl,have you and Maxim made up?You two are holding hands now?"I frowned."How do you know that we held hands?""It's all over the news.You and Maxim have always been the center of attention

    Even after sending Gianna those texts,Jacob was still pissed.He still couldn't believe that Maxim had fired him.He had great benefits from working in that company.Heck,Maxim always rewarded him greatly whenever he told him to buy something and book any trip for Gianna.Of course,Jacob barely did any of that.Instead, he would make her feel even more insecure.That was because he felt Gianna wasn't good enough to be with Maxim.He felt Nadia was more deserving to be with his great boss.Plus,Nadia was his friend who always compensated him greatly for his schemes against Gianna.Jacob held his head wondering how he could convince Maxim to forgive him.He wanted to continue working at the company.As the right hand man to the boss,he held a prestige image in the company.Heck,he had even told some of the female employees that they had to sleep with him if they wanted to get a promotion.He always put in good words for the ones who agreed to Maxim and then they would get promoted.Of course

    It wasn't until she was fourteen years old that she discovered the horrible side of Nathan.He had a secret base in the back of the house.One day, Gianna followed over curiously.Discovered the scary side of him.He was actually abusing cats and dogs.She went just in time to see him skinning raw an animal, the sound of the kitten whimpering in despair filled in air.And, there were air-dried animal carcasses hanging from the trunks of the large trees in that one.Lots and lots.An image that horrific was the first time in her life that she had ever encountered it.She instantly went weak in the knees and screamed out in fear.Nathan heard her scream.Snapping his head up.When he saw that it was her, his eyes flashed with a flash of anger.With that, there was a light laugh.He slowly came to her side and cupped her chin with that bloody hand.In an instant, the smell of blood and stickiness filled her nostrils, and she subconsciously began to dry-heave.The face was pale and the fi

    The fact that Violet sat in seat seven straight away showed that she felt confident.Ashley, who was in the third position, snorted coldly at Gianna.“Anna, you're screwed, you've offended Starlight Entertainment's Missy, wait for your shoes to be worn!"Gianna and Darla, the eldest Miss of Starlight Entertainment in the second seat, exchanged glances.Darla’s eyes were filled with questions.If Violet was Starlight Entertainment's first lady, then who was she?Gianna saw the doubt in Darla’s eyes and shrugged.Gianna was curious about Ashley’s brain circuit.“How do you know she's the Missy of Starlight Entertainment? It was four people who just came in."She had to say, Ashley had contacts and inside information, just, it seemed not to be very useful?She couldn’t even figure out who the people really were."Is that even a question?"Ashley looked at her with the eyes of a fool."That's a high and mighty lady, can she look at you? She came straight up to pick on you, if she's not Mi

    Darla’s mouth was really tight!After so many days in the same bed, she froze and didn't say a word, not even the slightest hint that she was coming to the Starlight programme as well!She didn’t say she was coming to be a star!Moreover, at this time, Gianna also understood that the Missy of Starlight Entertainment that Ashley was talking about was Darla.After all, Darla’s father was the boss behind Starlight Entertainment and the producer of the Starlight Project.Ashley gloated at Gianna.“Do you see the second person from the right? Did you feel the unkind gaze she saw you with? She is Starlight Entertainment's big miss, Violet."Ashley’s gaze kept falling on Darla’s body.The other three, she didn't even look at them.It was only after Ashley’s reminder that she focused on what she said about Violet.Violet stood in the second position, Darla the third, and the two o

    Gianna naturally saw the surprised and torpid expression on Martha’s face.She bloomed an oversized smile at Martha.She smiled brightly, like a blooming flower, and the shot is rendered perfectly.In an instant, there was another intake of breath in front of the TV.It was so beautiful!Then the pop-ups went crazy![Voting! Vote for Gianna! Let her stay first and sit on top!][And then laugh at me every day! Nima! My heart can't take it anymore!][ Ahhhhhh! Vote! Gianna’s face is what I look up to now, if she can't make a debut, I'll cry to death!][Vote! Vote hard for Gianna](You have one vote, I have one vote, and the stars come out first!]Talia was also in front of the TV to watch the live broadcast of the Starlight Project, and she was nervous when Gianna appeared.She had been in the Grand Theatre for so many years, she had seen all kinds of occasion.But this time, she was

    Declan had recognized the scent of Gianna’s body.****************The Starlight Project kicked off with a capital campaign, and a lot of attention!Project Starlight is a draft plan that just came out this year, and it's been on fire as far back as the build-up.And it's the first one.The chances of coming out on top are greater.Arguably, the best way to increase your popularity is to come to the Starlight programme.No, Gianna was here to gain popularity.The first day of recording for the Starlight Project was a full four hours live.The first part is the one hundred and eight girls showing up one by one, categorised according to company, according to school.That was a fair order of exit.Drawing of lots.There were combinations of people who show their faces together, and there were individuals who show their faces, and there were sixty-nine of the one-hundred-and-eight number plates.Gianna drew number seventeen.Not particularly forward, nor backward.Just fine.Moreover, she

    He wasn’t the Maxim she remembered.Maxim really forgot everything about her.Forgot the many times they slept together.Now he felt like a virgin.She scoffed.Declan’s face was also embarrassed to the extreme, he and Gianna had already stood in the same boat, intending to use meanness and shamelessness to knock Maxim back.In such a situation, Maxim was still unwilling to let go.Declan’s face went completely cold.“Maxim, what do you mean?"Did he want to fight again?Maxim raised his eyebrows, his eyes carrying a provocation that could not be ignored,"What do you think?"The fire squeezed in Declan’s heart spewed up at once, his face showing a scowl, and he raised his fist to greet Maxim’s body.Seeing that the two were about to fight again, Gianna hurriedly held Declan’s waist to stop them.“Declan, stop!"Any more fighting and these two would surely be carried out.It was really going to be a lot of trouble when the time comes.Gianna now really felt big-headed, Maxim used to t

    She couldn’t push him away.Gianna looked at Maxim, helplessly.“I'm just an ordinary girl, I'm not from the same world as you. I beg you, Mr Lewis, to be magnanimous and let me go!"Maxim narrowed his eyes and cupped her chin, making her gaze straight into his cold eyes.“Anna, why do you keep rejecting me?"His eyes were warm and sincere, and she could even see the sizzle of a heartbeat in his eyes.It allowed her to clearly feel that he liked her.A flash of pain flashed through her heart.Why?Why did this affectionate Maxim come so late?What about not giving it to her when she wanted it so badly, when she especially needed it?She didn't look away, her voice with a slight tremor: "Maxim, we are not suitable....."He frowned, annoyance in his good-looking brows, but he still pressed her tightly,"Where is it inappropriate? Status or position? I could care less about any of these!"For the first time, he had such a strong feeling of love.Anything he closed his eyes, he saw Gianna

    After the real contact with Ashley, all of his palpitations and excitement were all reduced to nothing.Declan pushed Ashley away and said to her, "Ashley, I'm sorry, we’re over, I like Gianna now."Declan turned around and left after saying that, leaving Ashley alone at a loss forwords.Her entire body was like an electric shock.She couldn't believe that Declan just said that.He liked Gianna?Without knowing that Gianna was his saviour, without knowing that Gianna was his muse, he had already fallen for her?Why?On what grounds?Ashley was chagrined when she realised that she might have screwed up this opportunity.She originally thought that she would be able to catch Declan’s attention by virtue of risking that dance, but she didn't expect that he wouldn't be electrified of her after she actually got along.What now?She hurriedly pulled out her mobile phone to call Kate."Hey, Auntie, what should I do, I don't think I'm going to be able to hide it from Declan....”************

I'll compensate you, I will make it up to you, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."The woman apologised profusely, but the face was really too recognisable.Film queen, Mia.And following along behind Mia was the cold Maxim.Ashley was smashed and screamed, and just when she wanted to curse, she saw the film queen Mia, and instantly, all her words could not be uttered.Maxim walked over and saw Ashley, then immediately saw Gianna behind her.The tall figure gave a lurch.Gianna was a little weak and immediately hooked Ashley’s neck in a friendly manner and smiled at Mia, "It's fine, it's fine, she has thick skin."Then she hurriedly circled Ashley and led her into the lift, quickly pressing the close button and shutting the lift door.She and Maxim looked across the lift, their eyes locked.Her heart was weak, and Maxim’s voice was cold.It seems like they really don't know
