*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.

    *GIANNA*I watched in disgust as Nadia kept crying in Maxim's arms."Ma…Maxim.I found out that Gianna got hurt because of me.I felt so guilty so I came to apologize to her.I never wanted her to be in such a situation because of me.But she was so angry to see me and she started to beat me up."Maxim slung me a questioning look and I rolled my eyes at him."Gianna,Nadia is also a victim in all this.You're aware of how much Jacob had hurt her.She's still recovering.How could you beat her up like that?"I laughed."She deserved it."I then picked up the bottle."She didn't come in here to apologize!She came here to lash out at me because apparently,you've not gone to see her since she got hospitalized.She wanted to ruin my face with this bottle of acid!Tell him,Nadia!""Bottle of acid?Isn't that just water?How can you accuse me of something like this,Anna?"I watched Maxim let go of Nadia,he then took the bottle from me and placed his finger inside.He brought out his finger and stared at

    *GIANNA*Ellie and I froze when we heard footsteps at the door.She quickly ran up to the door to peep and then she ran back to me."That was Maxim."She informed me.I frowned."Do you think he was eavesdropping?He must have heard what we said."I shrugged."That's not my problem.It's the truth.He should accept it."I glanced at the big bag she was holding."What's in the bag?""Oh,I got you all your favorite fruits."Ellie announced and started to bring that out.She rinsed and peeled an apple for me."Thank you."I smiled as I began to eat it."We ate the fruits together and chatted for a while.I so much love hanging out with Ellie."Are you still going abroad?"She asked me.I nodded."I want to.I don't want to be in Maxim's life anymore.It has brought me more harm than good.See,I almost got killed by Jacob and with Nadia still obsessed with him, Lord knows what she'd next.I might not be lucky next time.Being with Maxim isn't worth it at all."I just wanted a peaceful life.Ellie sat u

    *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

    Nadia sullenly watched the video Gianna had sent over, the ring sparkled and that sent a sharp pain cutting through her chest.She read the texts in despair."Ah!"She was so angry,she swung down everything on the counter.There was a lot of crackling and shattering.Nadia couldn't accept this.This was too much for her to bear.Trevor just happened to finish checking on a patient and passed by Nadia's ward, hearing abnormal sounds coming from inside, he knocked on the door and then walked in.Then he saw the mess, and Nadia who had a maniacal complexion.Trevor frowned, a flash of impatience flashing across his brow."Nadia, this is a hospital, a ward, not your home, please keep quiet,be calm and stop disturbing the peace of this hospital!"Trevor might be Maxim's friend but he was nothing like Gillian,and would not bottomlessly spoil Nadia and encourage her in her nonsense.He was also not Maxim, who had a soft spot for Nadia.From the perspective of a good friend to Maxim, he didn't

    *GIANNA*Maxim didn't call or text me anymore after that and I was glad.Scott and I had dinner together.I absolutely enjoyed the meal and had food.The medicinal soup was really refreshing too.Behind the restaurant was a temple which was on a hip top.Scott just to say after we finished eating."Let's go exercise to digest our meal."He pointed at the hill top.I happened to want to go for a walk as well."Okay."Together,we climbed up the hill.It has stairs that led up leading to the temple and we ascended at a leisure pace.At the top of the hill was a pavilion,behind was a small unoccupied temple.The wind at the top of the mountain was unbridled and comfortable,making me feel refreshed.My hair swayed in the wind and I closed my eyes to feel it even more.It felt so serene.We then headed towards the temple,it was very old and had been rebuilt with wood around it.It was so small inside that it seemed cramped for two people to go in.Two loaves of bread laid on the stone table wi

    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?

    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
