*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*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? I didn't know you were good at showing off.She was crashing out and destroying thin
*GIANNA*I was halfway through with my third bottle of water for the day when Maxim's call came in.I frowned at the phone.Was he seriously going to be calling me everytime now?It felt bothersome already.I answered anymore."Hello."His voice sounded soft."How are you feeling?""Better.Trevor said I could be discharged this evening.""That's good."And then there was silence.I immediately understood what that meant.He wasn't coming to pick me up today.I grimaced and waited for him to inform me of that."I have something to do this evening.I…I can't come pick you up."I tried to held back from scoffing."It's okay.I can go home myself.""I'll already sent my driver to you.Don't worry,I'll try to be home for dinner."I might just lose my appetite if he comes home for dinner."Alright."I replied.***************MAXIMUS*I had been in a good mood all day.It was the happiest I had been in a while.Gianna agreed to marry me.She had been so calm and sweet this morning.She even smiled
*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
*GIANNA*I laid on the bed unable to sleep.Even if I acted like I didn't care about him.Deep down,I knew I cared.I knew how much pain he experienced when he takes alcohol.Why can't he just stop drinking?!He's going to be fine.Trevor must be here already.He would treat him and make him feel better.A knock sounded on my door."Gianna,it's me,Trevor."I quickly got off the bed and opened the door."How's Maxim?"I asked.Standing in the doorway,he replied."He's going to be fine."I blinked trying to hide how relieved I was."You two fought again,right?""He started it.""Tell me what happened.""A friend of mine,he's a man named Scott,I've known him since my first year in college.I left the hospital with him when I got discharged,we had dinner too and I guess Maxim found out about it and he was furious."Trevor nodded."So he was jealous.But that understandable,Anna.I mean Maxim should be the one picking you up after you just got discharged.And I don't think any man would be comfortab
*GIANNA*I was confident that Maxim couldn't go three days without pissing me off and causing a big fight between us.I also wanted to play fair so I didn't send any texts to Nadia to drive her crazy and try to manipulate Maxim.I would not trigger her in three days so I'd just watch and see how Maxim was going to mess this up.On the first day,I noticed a change in him.He even brought Grace back to the house and returned Rosa.I didn't even beg him to.I was glad he did that though.I don't know how I could ever survive staying this house without Grace.Also,he informed his bodyguards not to follow me around anymore.That filled me with joy.At least,it would be easy to leave now.We had breakfast together in the morning and then he asked me asked to dinner this evening.Maxim went to work while I went to school to take care of things.*************8:pm found us already having dinner at a fancy restaurant.Maxim had cut out my steak for me.And he always helped me with anything I need
It wasn't until she was fourteen years old that she discovered the horrible side of Nathan.He had a secret base in the back of the house.One day, Gianna followed over curiously.Discovered the scary side of him.He was actually abusing cats and dogs.She went just in time to see him skinning raw an animal, the sound of the kitten whimpering in despair filled in air.And, there were air-dried animal carcasses hanging from the trunks of the large trees in that one.Lots and lots.An image that horrific was the first time in her life that she had ever encountered it.She instantly went weak in the knees and screamed out in fear.Nathan heard her scream.Snapping his head up.When he saw that it was her, his eyes flashed with a flash of anger.With that, there was a light laugh.He slowly came to her side and cupped her chin with that bloody hand.In an instant, the smell of blood and stickiness filled her nostrils, and she subconsciously began to dry-heave.The face was pale and the fi
The fact that Violet sat in seat seven straight away showed that she felt confident.Ashley, who was in the third position, snorted coldly at Gianna.“Anna, you're screwed, you've offended Starlight Entertainment's Missy, wait for your shoes to be worn!"Gianna and Darla, the eldest Miss of Starlight Entertainment in the second seat, exchanged glances.Darla’s eyes were filled with questions.If Violet was Starlight Entertainment's first lady, then who was she?Gianna saw the doubt in Darla’s eyes and shrugged.Gianna was curious about Ashley’s brain circuit.“How do you know she's the Missy of Starlight Entertainment? It was four people who just came in."She had to say, Ashley had contacts and inside information, just, it seemed not to be very useful?She couldn’t even figure out who the people really were."Is that even a question?"Ashley looked at her with the eyes of a fool."That's a high and mighty lady, can she look at you? She came straight up to pick on you, if she's not Mi
Darla’s mouth was really tight!After so many days in the same bed, she froze and didn't say a word, not even the slightest hint that she was coming to the Starlight programme as well!She didn’t say she was coming to be a star!Moreover, at this time, Gianna also understood that the Missy of Starlight Entertainment that Ashley was talking about was Darla.After all, Darla’s father was the boss behind Starlight Entertainment and the producer of the Starlight Project.Ashley gloated at Gianna.“Do you see the second person from the right? Did you feel the unkind gaze she saw you with? She is Starlight Entertainment's big miss, Violet."Ashley’s gaze kept falling on Darla’s body.The other three, she didn't even look at them.It was only after Ashley’s reminder that she focused on what she said about Violet.Violet stood in the second position, Darla the third, and the two o
Gianna naturally saw the surprised and torpid expression on Martha’s face.She bloomed an oversized smile at Martha.She smiled brightly, like a blooming flower, and the shot is rendered perfectly.In an instant, there was another intake of breath in front of the TV.It was so beautiful!Then the pop-ups went crazy![Voting! Vote for Gianna! Let her stay first and sit on top!][And then laugh at me every day! Nima! My heart can't take it anymore!][ Ahhhhhh! Vote! Gianna’s face is what I look up to now, if she can't make a debut, I'll cry to death!][Vote! Vote hard for Gianna](You have one vote, I have one vote, and the stars come out first!]Talia was also in front of the TV to watch the live broadcast of the Starlight Project, and she was nervous when Gianna appeared.She had been in the Grand Theatre for so many years, she had seen all kinds of occasion.But this time, she was
Declan had recognized the scent of Gianna’s body.****************The Starlight Project kicked off with a capital campaign, and a lot of attention!Project Starlight is a draft plan that just came out this year, and it's been on fire as far back as the build-up.And it's the first one.The chances of coming out on top are greater.Arguably, the best way to increase your popularity is to come to the Starlight programme.No, Gianna was here to gain popularity.The first day of recording for the Starlight Project was a full four hours live.The first part is the one hundred and eight girls showing up one by one, categorised according to company, according to school.That was a fair order of exit.Drawing of lots.There were combinations of people who show their faces together, and there were individuals who show their faces, and there were sixty-nine of the one-hundred-and-eight number plates.Gianna drew number seventeen.Not particularly forward, nor backward.Just fine.Moreover, she
He wasn’t the Maxim she remembered.Maxim really forgot everything about her.Forgot the many times they slept together.Now he felt like a virgin.She scoffed.Declan’s face was also embarrassed to the extreme, he and Gianna had already stood in the same boat, intending to use meanness and shamelessness to knock Maxim back.In such a situation, Maxim was still unwilling to let go.Declan’s face went completely cold.“Maxim, what do you mean?"Did he want to fight again?Maxim raised his eyebrows, his eyes carrying a provocation that could not be ignored,"What do you think?"The fire squeezed in Declan’s heart spewed up at once, his face showing a scowl, and he raised his fist to greet Maxim’s body.Seeing that the two were about to fight again, Gianna hurriedly held Declan’s waist to stop them.“Declan, stop!"Any more fighting and these two would surely be carried out.It was really going to be a lot of trouble when the time comes.Gianna now really felt big-headed, Maxim used to t
She couldn’t push him away.Gianna looked at Maxim, helplessly.“I'm just an ordinary girl, I'm not from the same world as you. I beg you, Mr Lewis, to be magnanimous and let me go!"Maxim narrowed his eyes and cupped her chin, making her gaze straight into his cold eyes.“Anna, why do you keep rejecting me?"His eyes were warm and sincere, and she could even see the sizzle of a heartbeat in his eyes.It allowed her to clearly feel that he liked her.A flash of pain flashed through her heart.Why?Why did this affectionate Maxim come so late?What about not giving it to her when she wanted it so badly, when she especially needed it?She didn't look away, her voice with a slight tremor: "Maxim, we are not suitable....."He frowned, annoyance in his good-looking brows, but he still pressed her tightly,"Where is it inappropriate? Status or position? I could care less about any of these!"For the first time, he had such a strong feeling of love.Anything he closed his eyes, he saw Gianna
After the real contact with Ashley, all of his palpitations and excitement were all reduced to nothing.Declan pushed Ashley away and said to her, "Ashley, I'm sorry, we’re over, I like Gianna now."Declan turned around and left after saying that, leaving Ashley alone at a loss forwords.Her entire body was like an electric shock.She couldn't believe that Declan just said that.He liked Gianna?Without knowing that Gianna was his saviour, without knowing that Gianna was his muse, he had already fallen for her?Why?On what grounds?Ashley was chagrined when she realised that she might have screwed up this opportunity.She originally thought that she would be able to catch Declan’s attention by virtue of risking that dance, but she didn't expect that he wouldn't be electrified of her after she actually got along.What now?She hurriedly pulled out her mobile phone to call Kate."Hey, Auntie, what should I do, I don't think I'm going to be able to hide it from Declan....”************
The shot hit Ashley’s face.Then a pretty woman came rushing over.“I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the shoe flew off, are you okay? I'll compensate you, I will make it up to you, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."The woman apologised profusely, but the face was really too recognisable.Film queen, Mia.And following along behind Mia was the cold Maxim.Ashley was smashed and screamed, and just when she wanted to curse, she saw the film queen Mia, and instantly, all her words could not be uttered.Maxim walked over and saw Ashley, then immediately saw Gianna behind her.The tall figure gave a lurch.Gianna was a little weak and immediately hooked Ashley’s neck in a friendly manner and smiled at Mia, "It's fine, it's fine, she has thick skin."Then she hurriedly circled Ashley and led her into the lift, quickly pressing the close button and shutting the lift door.She and Maxim looked across the lift, their eyes locked.Her heart was weak, and Maxim’s voice was cold.It seems like they really don't know
