*GIANNA*It was about 10:30 when Scott dropped me off in front of Maxim's house."Thanks for tonight.I had fun."He said to me.I smiled."Me too.""Maybe we could do this again.""I'll look forward to it."I got down from the car."Good night.""You should go in first."He said,not starting the car."Let me know when you get home.Drive safely."He nodded.I walked off and when I strode into the big gates of the villa,I heard the car zoom off.I grinned as I headed for the main house.The hallway was a bit dark so I turned on the light.I was startled to find Maxim sitting on the last staircase.How long had he been sitting there?Not wanting him to ruin my mood,I made to take the stairs and then I heard him say."I've thought of a hundred and one ways of killing him and so far,I've decided on ten."I gulped.No one needed to tell me who he was talking about."Maxim,he's just a friend."I really didn't want Scott to get hurt.Maxim laughed,darkly as he stood to his feet,there was a monstro
*MAXIMUS*I'm yet to process the fact that I had tears running down my face.I think the last time I cried was on the day of my mother's passing.I didn't even cry at the funeral.I was a man.The man of the Lewis family so I can't afford to show any weakness.But tonight,I felt incredibly hurt and angry I couldn't stop the tears.I had felt embarrassed but I also didn't expect Anna to kiss me tonight.My heart was in my throat as I waited for her reply."Maxim."She replied.That instantly made me feel better,I lowered my head and pressed my lips to hers.She opened her mouth for me,sliding her tongue along mine as she wrapped her arms around my neck.Fuck!I used to kiss her anytime I wanted but lately I had been trying to keep my hands to myself and it's been hard.I had missed kissing her so much.She suddenly pulled back and then she held my hand walking me to the couch.I sat down on it and watched her kneel before me like a good little girl.Were we okay now?I wanted to believe tha
*GIANNA*Maxim moved and carried me into his arms.God, he was so passionate when it came to sex, he makes me forget about everything else.As he climbed up the stairs,he pressed his lips against mine.We kissed all the way upstairs,he almost tripped one time.Once we got to his bedroom,he set me down to my feet and towered above me.His hands slid through my hair, his lips moving down to my jaw and neck too.He sucked my skin right into his mouth and licked me.It was as if every nerve in my body stood up on end,particularly the ones that tingled between my thighs.My mouth dropped open and a whimper escaped from my throat."I want you…no..I need you.I'll always need you,Anna."He said against the nape of my neck.He suddenly slammed my back against the door with his body pressed tightly against mine.I could feel every muscle of his body twitching and brushing against my skin and it felt amazing.His hand was on my breast,groping me while he kissed me."Put your arms around my shoulders
*MAXIMUS*I woke up with a sense of disorientation and a relentless hard-on.Fuck.I didn't even know where I was.Oh wait.I did.In my bed with the warmest and softest body beside me.I turned my head,taking in my first sight of my woman in the morning light.It wasn't a smart thing to do.Staring at her like this felt even more disarming.It was very early but the blinds were open completely and the morning sun was just peeking in with streaks of sunrise.Anna was lying on her stomach,nude from when I had undressed her the night before.Her hair was a silky tangle of tawny black waves that covered most of her shoulders and half of her face.That face was turned towards me,innocent in slumber and flawless in the dawn light.Her skin was smooth and perfect."So beautiful."I mouthed as I stared at her.She was enchanting.I wanted to brush all the hair away and study her at my leisure,every inch of her,inside and out.I would never get tired of studying her.I slowly slid the sheet off h
Maxim interrupted my thoughts when he pressed a kiss on my cheek and then I realized that he was done with his call."I hate to leave this morning but I have something very important to deal with at the office.I'll pick you up for dinner tonight."I opened my mouth to speak but he added."You can't refuse."He had a smile on his handsome face as he said that and I just kept quiet."Good girl."I stood up and sat on another chair and watched as his muscular figure,as perfect as a god walked away.I rubbed my eyes,wondering if I would ever find him unattractive.Grace walked into the dining room and sat beside me,she was all smiles."I can see that you and Mr Lewis are finally okay.I had thought something bad had happened last night.I could hear things shattering in his study when you weren't home.But I'm glad you two are okay now."I stared at her."Do you really think Maxim and I are good together?""Of course,you love him and even if Mr Lewis can be difficult sometimes,I know he loves
*GIANNA*I had already given up on the thought of going out with Maxim tonight.That woman could easily manipulate him and so I was used to it.I was surprised when I received a text from him at 7:pm."I'm outside.Are you ready?"I frowned and quickly looked out the window.He was really outside,leaning against his car.What happened?Didn't Nadia try to do something…anything?Realizing the dinner plans was still on,I quickly started to get dressed.**************I walked out of the house knowing he must be upset to have been kept waiting.I had purposely taken my time,using almost an hour."Sorry for keeping you waiting."I began,innocently."It was worth the wait.You look stunning."He replied.That literally made me feel butterflies.No,it should be illegal for him to compliment me like that.He took off his coat and then placed it around my shoulder."The weather's cold tonight.I don't want you falling sick."I swallowed."Thanks."He then held open the door for me.This man.As muc
*GIANNA*I stared at Maxim and then at Gillian.It felt as if Maxim was struggling to stay seated and not go after Nadia.I in particularly wasn't expecting anything from him.I wasn't expecting him to stay and I knew I wouldn't be disappointed if he leaves.I no longer see Nadia as a love rival,she was just a little psychotic bitch.She should be crowned the Queen of manipulation."If anything happens to Nadia,would you be okay with it?she sees you as a brother,but now, it seems you think of her as a burden,how do you expect her to feel?if she should die now,would it really be okay with you?"Gillian continued.Suddenly,a waiter ran in."The woman who ran out of here just fainted outside."Immediately,Maxim stood up,he slung me an apologetic look and then hurried off.I sighed,heavily and then reached for the glass of wine."Gianna,don't you think it's time you give up on him.You can see that he'll always put Nadia first."Gillian said to me.I looked up at him and burst into laughter.
*GIANNA*I took a taxi back to Maxim's Villa.I felt like having a nice bath and then a good night rest.As I walked pass the living room,I froze to see Maxim sitting on the armchair.Why was he back so soon?Shouldn't he be at the hospital with Nadia?He lifted up his head and smiled at me then he gestured at the couch beside me."Come here."I didn't want to go over to him but I was pretending to be his submissive woman so I had to.I reluctantly walked closer to him and as I was about to sit on the couch,he grabbed my hand and pulled me to him.I gasped as I fell steadily against his body.His unique scent filled my nostrils and surrounded me like a huge net leaving me immobile.He then shifted me slightly so I was sitting on his laps.I felt tensed but I tried to sit still.Maxim handed me a photo album."Check it out."Confused,I took the album from him and flipped through.Its content was a lot of pictures of different flowers,arrangements and colors.I didn't understand why he
"You want Josh’s cell phone number? Alright, I'll give it to you right away!" Trevor immediately sent Josh’s cell phone number to Gianna.But he was curious.Why did Gianna ask for Josh’s phone number?Was it relating to Maxim?Did she still care about Maxim?Maybe they really had a chance together.**********************Gianna got Josh’s phone number and immediately dialed it.Josh helped in following up on Ashley’s robbery and was up at this hour.He picked up his cell phone when it rang.An urgent voice came from the other side of the phone.“Josh, this is Gianna."Josh was surprised that Gianna called him.“What do you want?”"Do you know anything about Ashley? She said I was the one who got someone to rob her."Josh was helpless."She's rather emotional and mouthy, and I know it has nothing to do with you, so don't worr
Josh frowned, looking at Ashley’s maniacal demeanor, he reminded.“Ashley, your words are spoken with evidence, think before you speak. This is a serious accusation. Are you sure about this?”Josh didn't know much about Gianna.If Gianna was so tactful and capable of making bad things like this happen, she would not have put up with Nadia interfering with her relationship for the past three years.She would have tried to get rid of Nadia, right?Ashley was miserable now, and she had to find someone to divert her anger to.Gianna was the best candidate.“I'm not making this up, it was her, Gianna is responsible for this."Ashley kept insisting that Gianna was responsible for the robbery attack, the police could only put Gianna on the suspect list.*************Gianna had already fallen asleep, beautifully.Her cell phone rang insistently.She glanced at the caller ID.It was an unknown number.She picked it up."Hello.""Hello, is this Ms. Weston? We're calling from XC Police Station.
This was shocking for Ashley.The person who saved Declan was Gianna?!Why?!Why her?!Surprisingly, it was Gianna again!Declan’s muse was also Gianna.His savior was still Gianna.Was Gianna going to hold on to Declan?Would she give Declan a chance?Ashley couldn’t let that happen!She would not hand over this footage to Declan.She wouldn’t give Gianna a chance to get to Declan!In fact, the surveillance camera was so far away that you can only vaguely see the figure of a girl, and it was very difficult to accurately distinguish the person in the picture in this situationIt was because she knew all about Gianna that she could identify her.Still she had to destroy this!She smirked when she thought of a plan.**************When Declan called to ask Ashley if she had gotten the surveillance footage, he was informed that Ashley was robbed and now seriously injured.Declan was still in a bad condition and he couldn’t leave the bed yet so Josh went to see Ashley instead.Josh was sh
It was exactly what Gianna said.If she and Maxim got back together, she wouldn't love him like she used to.Was this really what he wanted?”The problem was never Gianna.It was Maxim.He was the cause of all these.Trevor said to Gianna, "I'm sorry that my recent stand has made you uncomfortable. I admit that I had selfish intentions. It's just that I felt pity towards Maxim, I'm sorry. You have every right to make any decision that is best for you. You can leave now. I’ll talk to him.” Trevor wanted to properly advise Maxim.Only that he wasn't sure he could be persuaded.Gianna glanced at Maxim on the bed and sighed feebly.She was really tired.There was only one thought in her head right now.She didn’t see her future with him.**********Declan woke up at seven o'clock that afternoon."Water...”Before Josh could act, Ashley quickly picked up the water and moved closer to bed, making Declan drink the water.Declan strained to take a few sips.The burning sensation in his throat
“When I made that promise, I was stupid!”“But you genuinely loved me.”He argued.“And what did you do?”“Haven’t I been trying multiple times to gain your forgiveness? Why can’t you just forgive me.”“Because nothing good can come out of being with you!”She informed him.Maxim was speechless.Gianna sneered."Now, get your people out of the way! Don't stop me!"Maxim’s eyes were indifferent and numb, but his tone was very firm."I'm not going to let you go to Gupa. Calm down, stay, I'll have someone help you with whatever you need, but you can't go."Gianna’s pretty face was resolute."No! I'm going by myself!"She wanted to see Griffin in person.She was away from Griffin and Lily, and knew nothing about their situation, in the final analysis, it was still because her mind was all about Maxim.She needed to be there for her friend now.Maxim seemed to be about to say something else when Gianna’s cell phone rang once more.She glanced at it, and a look of surprise instantly surged ac
Gianna couldn't care less about Maxim and directly ran towards the elevator entrance with quick steps.Maxim tried to get up from the ground, his movements were too weak to support him.Trevor had been hiding in the doorway, and when he heard that the two had gotten into an argument, he immediately ran out.Seeing Maxim’s condition, he was shocked.He hurried up to help Maxim.“Are you okay?"Maxim couldn't care less about his own body, and with a pale face and shaking hands, he pointed at Gianna.“Don't…let her go."It was those few words that made Maxim’s entire body tremble.Trevor was going crazy.“What was all the bickering about again?"The coziness between Maxim and Gianna definitely couldn't last ten minutes!When Maxim saw that the Trevor didn't act, he roared in anger, "She's going to Gupa, stop her!"When he finished speaking, he started coughing violently from over-stimulation.Trevor’s face changed and he hurriedly said to the bodyguard."Quick, stop her!"Trevor original
He wasn’t willing to take it.Trevor helplessly said, “Gianna went to buy food for you, and if she comes back in a while to see you like this. She is going to be so worried.”Maxim, who had his eyes tightly closed, frowned slightly.He sat up anyway and took his medicine.It was just so that he didn't want her to worry.Trevor looked at the various changes Maxim had made now because of Gianna , and he almost didn't recognize him anymore.Now Maxim became difficult.But as long as it had something to do with Gianna, he’d compromise.Love?Definitely love.If he loved her so much, why didn’t him care about her before?If he had shown it before, it would have already been a sweet, sweet romantic relationship between him and Gianna.Why are they torturing each other like this now?Seeing that he had taken the medicine, Trevor asked him, "The fact that you have found four experts to teach you about relationships shows that you are really changing, which is a good thing. But you should unde
Regarding Ashley, it was only recently that she appeared Declan’s life.Declan was very special to her.Gave her a lot of resources.To be honest, Ashley was good looking.But definitely not pretty enough to be stunning.Even with so much work done on her face, Josh, the doctor, could see it at a glance.He really didn't understand the vision of this brother of his.Beautiful women like Ashley are a dime a dozen on the street.Declan really wanted to play with his life, he could totally find a better one.But he was just special to Ashley.He respected her.Josh shrugged, to each with their own.Josh looked at Ashley crying and knew that he couldn't ask anything from her.His cell phone rang.He picked it up and looked at it.His face instantly became hard.He went to the corner and picked it up."Big brother."A low voice came from across the room."What's going on with Declan?"“He's in the emergency ward, things are still being investigated, and the message from the police is that
"Yes.”Maxim’s voice was dry and hoarse.There was a determination in his weak voice.Trevor shut his eyes.In the past, watching Gianna care for Maxim, watching Gianna love Maxim, he felt bad for Gianna.Now looking at Maxim care for Gianna, love Gianna, he felt bad for him as well.These two people were in love, why did they have to engage in this kind of torture game.Can't they just have a nice conversation, make up or break up for good?Gianna held on for three years without letting go.Now the situation between the two turned around and Maxim who was unwilling to let go.Trevor was genuinely tired.Maxim didn't care about his body, the pendant was firmly held in his hand, as if it was his saving grace, like the pendant was his future with Gianna.Trevor knew he’d spent the whole day in that pond until he found it.Maxim said weakly to Trevor, "Don't tell her about today
