*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
*MAXIMUS*After a few minutes,I noticed she had fallen asleep.I stood up and walked closer to the bed.I pulled a small chair and sat in front of her bedside watching her sleep.I felt sorry about what she had to go through today.I'd give anything not to hurt her again for the rest of her life.I recalled her sharp mouth.If anyone told me before that Anna could be this feisty,I wouldn't have believed.Even if I didn't like the fact that she was constantly fighting me now,it was intriguing at the same time.People were always mindful of what they said to me.They didn't want to be on my black book but this little woman says all kinds of things to me.I smiled,it was as if I was liking her all over again.It was as if I was falling for her even more now.I stood up and examined her full body myself,wanting to make sure she wasn't hurt anywhere else.I stared at her palm noticing it was really reddish,I gently held her other palm,realizing it was the same.And then I noticed a small bruis
*MAXIMUS*I deleted the 6 text messages Jacob had sent and placed Gianna's phone on the table.My remorse and guilt had tripled.I stared at her delicate face.Reasonably,this was the right time to let her go.She had been through so much.I had hurt her too much.But I was still so selfish.Maybe because I just couldn't imagine my life without her.I knew it would take time for her to open her heart to me again but I'll show her,I'll show her that she has all of me.I will never let anyone hurt or bully her anymore.Wanting to hold her,I got into the bed and laid beside her.She looked so beautiful,so peaceful in her sleep.I smiled as I carefully pulled her into my arms.She would not allow me be this close to her when she wakes up so I have to enjoyed every bit of this moment.In her sleep,she leaned against me.I gently stroke her hair and suddenly,it felt as if all the problems of the world had evaporated,it felt as if we had no problems.The only thing I felt was peace.I closed my eyes
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
*GIANNA*When Maxim had dragged me back to his house,I had thought of a lot of things to do to always avoid him.And then one thought was more pleasing.So I applied for my masters.Today, I got an email to officially submit my documents physically to the administration office.I had been accepted.I was so happy.At least,this way I'd rarely see Maxim.I got dressed,pulling my hair into a ponytail and putting on a little bit of make up.I stared at myself on the mirror and smiled.It's been a week since I almost got hit by a car.The bandage was off now and I just needed to apply ointment occasionally so it wouldn't leave a scar.I had been doing my best to avoid Maxim and be overly cold to him.I genuinely didn't want him anymore and I hope he accepts that soon.As I headed down the stairs with my document in hand,I found him coming out from the dining room,clad in a gray suit."Good morning."He began with a smile."Are you heading somewhere?""Yeah.BU accepted my application so I'm going f
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 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
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
Clara knew that Gianna would be a threat to her from the first moment she sawher.Clara was very pretty, pure and soulful, plus there was a three-point resemblance to Mia, her future path was definitely bright.And she had absolute power.Whether it was singing or dancing or looks, including background and popularity, she was 100% sure she could secure the debut spot.But when she saw Gianna, she had a sense of crisis.Gianna was too pretty, and her features were too divine.In this era of face card appreciation, Gianna certainly would gain a lot of fans.Clara looked at her sister, Mia beside her with some concern.However, she noticed that Mia’s eyes were looking at Gianna with deep meaning.She waited for Maxim to walk away before she tugged on Mia’s arm.“Sis, do you know Gianna?"Mia shook her head slightly."No."Of course she knew her.It was just that o
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
