*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.

    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

    GIANNA*The next day,when I woke up,I yawned and glanced at the wall clock.It was past 10:am.I got up from bed and walked into the bathroom to have a simple wash.Feeling hungry,I slipped into casual wears and headed downstairs.I was shocked when I came by the living room and saw all sorts of boxes stacked up.I saw a row of men and women who seemed to be stylists.They were standing in front of two racks of clothes.One man walked up to me."Good morning,ma'am."I blinked looked around and then I caught sight of Grace."What's going on?"I asked her.She shrugged and pointed up the stairs.I looked at that direction to see Maxim walking down to me.His tall figure came to stand behind me,his face still as good looking as ever.I had a feeling that this was still about the engagement and wedding party so I waved my hand."I don't even want to know what's this is about."With that,I headed for the dining room.This was Maxim's house and he was the one who called them here so they shou

    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."

    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
