*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

  • The Billionaire Ex Wants Me Back    Chapter 55 The hints

    *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*I watched as Trevor changed my drip bag and examined me."Your vitals are stable.You can be discharged this evening.When you get home,get plenty of rest and drink lots of water.The toxins need to be eliminated completely and drinking lots of water will help."I nodded.I felt comfortable with Trevor.He and Ellie were the two people who had really been kind to me since I started dating Maxim."Thank you,Trevor."I said when he handed me a bottle of water and then I saw his eyes running through my fingers.It was as if he was looking for something.Maybe he wanted to examine the spot the snake had bitten.I showed it to him."Here.""No…no.I wasn't looking for that.Where's your ring though.I heard Maxim proposed.You must be so happy right now."I froze.Did Maxim send him to spy on me?"Maxim told you he proposed."Trevor cocked an eyebrow."He kind of did.But I saw the messages you sent to Nadia?

    *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

    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
