Meanwhile, for the past two days when Maxim's life had been chaotic, his best friend, Edgar had two eventful nights.

He didn't know about what was going on with Maxim because Maxim didn't tell him.

He went to his favorite bar to go find a one-night stand as usual.

Edgar loved the way his life was. He worked hard, partied a lot, and had any woman he wanted.

There were no complications because he hated complications more than anything.

He made them understand that it was just a one-time thing. It was always a one-time thing and couldn't be more.

He didn't believe in love or settling down with one woman.

When he thought about how miserable Maxim had been for the past few weeks.

He shivered.

He didn't want to be that depressed because of a woman so he was even more determined now and avoided love at all cost.

Edgar shook his head, he didn't want to think about that.

Right now, he wanted to lose himself in someone.

    *GIANNA*I was told that I was bitten by a poisonous snake.I honestly didn't know but I could recall crawling at the ground and feeling a sharp pain at some point.Because it was dark,I couldn't see anything so I assumed I might have been bitten by a bug.It never crossed my mind that I was bitten by a snake at that time.The doctor said that I still had the residual toxin in my body.I was still under treatment for it so I couldn't be discharged for now.I really wanted to get well soon so I can get my travel plans in motion.I was lying on the hospital bed trying to get some sleep.I had barely just started dozing off when I heard the door pushed open by a strong force.The door hit the wall with a loud thud.I sat up,abruptly with a jolt of fear.Then I met Nadia's angry gaze.I glared at her and spoke,angrily."Didn't anyone teach you how to knock?Or any basic manners regarding opening a freaking hospital door?!"She ignored that question and moved closer to me."What did you do,A

    *MAXIMUS*Who else could Gianna marry but me?When I publicly announced my relationship with Gianna back then,part of the reason was to get every other man to back off from her.She was a very beautiful woman so it was understandable that men could admire her beauty but they should know that she was off limits.That stripper Gianna had touched was in jail now.I had dealt with him before throwing him in jail!As for that Scott,I was barely holding back from punishing him.With Gianna going back to school,I know she would have questions if Scott suddenly disappears.So that was why I was holding back,if he pushes me once more,he'll regret it.So yes,it was impossible for Gianna to marry any other man but me!"Since that's not possible,then I think I am right but if you have any doubts,you can just make a phone call,I mean you have connections everywhere,you can easily find out her marital status."Yeah,I could.Just a single phone call and I'll know the answer within minutes.I stared

    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

    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
