A few days later, Brian showed a cold expression every time he saw me.
Or rather, he ignored my existence in this mansion.
Sometimes I sneak a peek at him and I can no longer see his amorous eyes staring at me, looking for an opportunity to mock me.
I should be happy, but I don't know why I feel down, missing something.
Maybe because I am often teased by him, I am addicted to that. Now that I'm at peace, I feel empty.
After trimming the yellow leaves and rearranging the gravel, watering the potted plant, I put it back on the windowsill and was about to leave when a man's voice made my legs stop.
“Bella, make me a cup of coffee.”
“What?” I turned my head, my eyes widening in surprise.
“Do you have hearing loss? Coffee.” He stopped writing, raised his head, and looked at me.
“Oh, I'll do it right away.”
I sprinted out of the room, ran down the stairs, and into the kitchen.
Today, I don't understand why Brian didn't go to the bank.
Yesterday, I saw him bring back a stack of documents and now he is sitting in his study, reading and signing, sometimes he works on the computer.
When I went back upstairs, I overheard him talking on the phone with someone.
I quickly pushed the document aside and set the hot coffee cup down on the table.
I don't know if my eyes are sick or not, but I see his computer screen showing my face on it.
Before I could look closely, it had changed to another image, so I'm not sure.
Maybe my eyes have a problem.
“This is your coffee. Do you need anything more?”
“That's enough, just do your job.”
I quickly retracted my hand before his seven-billion hand touched the coffee cup.
The watch that Brian is wearing is worth seven billion, a number that can feed me for a lifetime.
If I had that watch, the first thing I would do would be to sell it.
Today's menu is beef rolls with guise leaves, vegetable soup, and fried fish. These are all my favorite dishes.
From the day I stepped foot into this place, I have gained weight clearly.
Mrs. Alina and Brian did not eat much. For example, if I buy half a kilo of beef, she and he will eat about two ounces, and three ounces will go into my belly.
It only took about an hour, lunch was ready. I was about to go upstairs to ask Brian to come down to eat when I saw him walking quickly down the stairs.
He seemed to be in a hurry because he was wearing his vest while walking.
“Don't you have lunch?” I blurted out.
“You can eat first. I have to go out for a bit. When I come back, I will eat.”
“Oh, yes, you can disappear forever.” I nodded happily.
“What did you just say?”
His voice was cold, his eyes were filled with anger.
At this moment, I realized that I had made a mistake.
I should just whisper. I don't understand why that sentence came out of my mouth and into his ear.
“No, I mean, if you're hungry, you can eat outside. It's past eleven o'clock in the afternoon.”
“Excessive worry.”
After throwing two words in my face, Brian hurriedly left.
I quickly ran to open the gate before he drove his luxury, good, smooth car out of the garage.
At noon, the sun was fierce, the rays of sunlight penetrated the leaves, swayed by the wind, and danced all over the large yard.
On days like this, I'm extremely afraid to go out, just want to snuggle up in the house.
Because I eat alone, I eat very quickly.
I intended to take a nap, but I was afraid that the man would come back suddenly.
I was afraid that if I didn't open the door in time, he would frown and wince, so I didn't sleep.
There was nothing left for me to do, so I took out some sheets of paper to draw some clothes and dresses.
My dream was to become a fashion designer, but it was extinguished when my family had an incident.
My father's company was at a loss and was heavily in debt. The pressure made him depressed and ended his life with sleeping pills.
And my mother followed him after a few months of struggling in a hospital bed.
After finishing the twelfth grade, I had to give up my dream, enter a vocational secondary school and study a major that I never thought of, which is accounting and auditing.
For several years, I worked and studied at the same time and when I finished my study program, I excitedly took my diploma to companies to apply for jobs, but no one accepted me.
Other candidates with outstanding starting points have eclipsed someone like me.
Fortunately, in my most desperate moment, I met Mrs. Alina.
Just because I helped her pick up some fallen apples, I was offered a job as a maid by her. My monthly salary is much higher than the salary of an office worker.
When I was drawing to the bottom of the skirt, the pen suddenly ran out of ink. Because I was afraid to walk in the hot sun, I ventured into Brian's study to borrow a pen.
When I got to the desk, I couldn't help but be curious, and conveniently clicked on the computer to see if the image on the computer screen was me or not.
However, I was mistaken. It's a photo of the famous model Hellen. From this angle, she looks a lot like me.
“He is probably trying to flirt with this supermodel. So why did he ask to marry me? Brian, do you consider me an idiot? Do I have to sit at home and wait for my husband while you go on a date with your mistress?”
My mood dropped because of the photo. I did not borrow a pen anymore, but went out into the yard, enjoying the wind and pruning the trees.
It wasn't until two o'clock in the afternoon when the doorbell rang, I quickly let go of the scissors, ran in to get the key, and quickly opened the gate.
When I returned to the house, I faced Brian right on the steps.
I was about to open my mouth to ask him if he had eaten, but he went too fast, so I didn't have time to say a word.
Maybe he ate outside because it was almost two in the afternoon.
I went to the yard again and continued what I was doing.
This morning, Mrs. Alina said she would go to a birthday party with friends in the evening and would come to the restaurant right after work, so I didn't need to cook anything more.
Brian eats to keep his waist, and I also want to lose weight, so those dishes are enough.
My day starts at five o'clock in the morning, so work is done early and I'm quite leisurely in the afternoon.
I was about to go up to the terrace to get their clothes down and then sweep and clean the house when the phone in my pocket vibrated.
I immediately picked up the phone when I saw Brian's name on the phone screen.
The villa is large, so I have to carry my phone with me constantly so that when he or Mrs. Alina needs me, they will call me because sometimes they are upstairs, and I am in the kitchen.
He didn't lock the door, so I pushed it lightly and walked in.
However, I couldn't see him anywhere, only a pair of expensive trousers and a branded shirt hanging on the chair.
How could he be invisible and only have his suit?
“Brian, where are you?” I looked around his spacious room and asked.
“In here.” His voice came from the bathroom.
I sighed and shook my head. I don't understand what he's going to do to make fun of me.
I thought he had changed his personality after a few days of being cold to me, but in the end, he was still so childish.
In the past, he just teased me with childish tricks. He put the lizard in a bag of colored pebbles that scared me.
He hid the shirt and said that the wind blew it away, so I had to ask to go into the neighbor's garden to find it.
And he disassembled the mop so that when I touched it, it fell apart into pieces. He even held my hand and said he loved me...
However, the morning after the night we both made love together, he was always saying rude words.
“Hurry up, Bella, what are you looking for out there that takes so long?” His voice sounded scowling.
“Brian, if you dare to play tricks, I will put the pot on your head.”
After whispering, I took a deep breath and entered the bathroom.
The sight that appeared in front of me made me want to run away immediately.
But with this debtor status, I know where to run, unless I have the courage to run out of his house, to go abroad, I should run. I also owe your mother a huge amount of money.
In a high-quality porcelain bathtub, Brian is in a semi-naked form, sitting among the white soap bubbles.
I guess if he stood up, he would definitely be naked. I have to admit that he has flawless white skin.
I really want to peel that skin and put it on myself to make myself more beautiful.
“What do you need?” My eyes left that back and looked straight up at the ceiling.
“Help me scrub my back.”
“What... what?” I rolled my eyes, looked at his attractive body, and stammered.
“I am speaking English. Scrub my back for me.”
Brian turned his head and raised the bath sponge.
I stared blankly at the pervert sitting in the white soap bubbles.
Brian thinks he is the king, right? Or does he think he's a kid?
If he asked me to skin him, I wouldn't say no. No maid bathed a thirty-year-old master.
A pervert, extremely perverted.
In modern times, he still oppresses others like this. I am not a slave.
“Why don't you shower yourself?” I spoke up angrily.
“How? Don't I have the right to ask you to do it? Or is it because my mother pampers you so much that you want to climb on top of my head and sit?” His voice was sharp and extremely serious.
“Not. Alright, I will do it.”
I take the soft bath sponge from his hand, reluctantly set the phone aside, and sit on the edge of the tub to help him scrub his back.
I would imagine him to be such a big child.
Although I hate Brian, I don't want to scratch his skin.Only that night, I don't know who entered me and I scratched his shoulder and back.The traces are still left, though blurred, but at a close distance, I can still see them clearly.I'm sure these scratches are caused by me because this time he still hasn't announced his new girlfriend.I understand Brian well, as soon as he has just started a relationship with a girl, he will immediately post a photo on his personal page. And when he broke up with her, he deleted the photos.At first, the press also published articles, but after a few months, Brian changed his partner, so they stopped writing, and people didn't want to know about his girlfriend anymore.“Scrub hard and fast. I have no pain. What are you doing as if you're brushing off ants?” Brian moved a little and urged me.I frowned and glared at him. I wanted to grab his head and drown it in this herbal-smelling white soapy foam.My hand rapidly increased in speed and frict
By the time I finished folding and ironing the clothes, it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon.I took the clothes into Mrs. Alina's room and then went to Brian's room.While I was reaching out to hang some pants and shirts in the closet, a chill ran down my spine.The man's hand reached out, lifted the clothes hangers in my hand, and hung them neatly on the aluminum rod inside.I'm really envious of Brian's height of one meter and eighty centimeters. I want to take his legs and attach them to me.God is very fair when giving Brian everything such as appearance, money, and power, but his character is full of defects, nothing can fill it.However, I don't understand why at this moment, when his shadow covers me, I feel very safe and warm, thinking that he is a solid shoulder for me to trust and rest my head on.“Next time you just put them on the bed. I will hang them in.”Brian slightly lowered his head. His mint-scented breath blew into my ears, numbing my whole body.I reflexiv
As soon as I pushed open the door, I saw Brian sitting neatly on the bed.If I knew he didn't continue to work and went to bed, I wouldn't prepare late-night food for him.“Here, you apply this wine on your wrist and massage it.” I gave him the bottle of medicinal wine and said.“Help me, please. Actually, my left arm hurts, too.”I opened my eyes wide and looked at the man who was flirting with me.I guess when Brian was a kid, he must have been really cute.But now that he's an adult, he makes a puppy face like that just gives me goosebumps and nausea.“Okay.”After sighing, I reluctantly walked over to Brian and sat down.I have to admit that he is very fragrant, and the scent is very pleasant, but his personality really makes others uncomfortable.Brian's hands are very beautiful, soft, and smooth like cloth. His hand is the hand of the rich. If we talk about anthropometry, his life is destined to be buried in velvet.I carefully applied the alcohol and squeezed his wrist.I'm lik
“Come in.”I stepped back to make way for Brian to enter the room and took the oil bottle and silver coin in his hand.If I remember correctly, I only gua sha him once, that was when he drank with some big government officials.That day he came back very late and had to hire a driver. When he got off the car, he vomited and complained that he had chest tightness and difficulty breathing.While Mrs. Alina was panicking and was about to bring him to the hospital, I pressed him down and gua sha for him. As a result, his entire body turned purple.After a few minutes, he said he was much better. He even smiled and hugged me, thanking me profusely.“I'll take off my T-shirt so you can do it easily.”As soon as he finished speaking, the white T-shirt gradually left his body.Because I saw that his hand was difficult to move, I quickly helped him.I quickly applied wind oil to his bare back and gua sha.He really hit the wind. I just touched his skin a few times and his skin turned purple-re
In the afternoon, when the doorbell repairman had just left, I received a phone call from Mrs. Alina; she informed me that she had to go to a partner's party, so she would not eat at home, telling me not to wait.Originally, they sent out the invitations last week, but because she was so busy with work, she forgot about it. Now that her assistant reminded her, she suddenly remembered.Closer to the end of the year, companies often organize parties and invite each other to create opportunities to communicate and strengthen relationships.Hana Group has quite a large influence on the domestic economy, of course, there are many people who want to maintain a relationship with Mrs. Alina because she is the legal representative of Hana Corporation in this country.“I wish Brian would go to the party, too. That way, I don't have to sit and eat with him.”My wish never came true. When the hands of the clock struck six o'clock, the doorbell rang.I opened the gate for him with my fake cheerful
The earth and sky around me seemed to be reeling as I heard the huge number gently come out of the mouth of the Sunshine Bank president.This amount is double the amount that I sold my body to be a buffalo and a horse for ten years, which Mrs. Alina paid me in advance.If I sell this ring, I can redeem myself and buy a small house and I also have the capital to start a business.I glanced at the rich, handsome young master standing across from me.Oh, man. Why do I feel that Brian is so handsome?He was tall and toned, his eyes, lips, and nose were delicate, and he was intelligent, skillful, and a master of women.I did not expect that one day I would be blindsided by two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, liking the person I once hated so much that I wanted to hug him and express my gratitude.I know the black card is more valuable, but this ring has a very different meaning.Moreover, Brian gave it to me when we both had a sexual relationship.At least, he's not like the men I've k
In the days that followed, I had to fight psychologically so that I wouldn't soften my heart because of that sparkling diamond.I would be angry to death if I became the lover, even the wife of Brian, while he still gave his heart to other girls.Love and marriage are sacred to me. I don't want to share my man with anyone.I can ignore his past, but I cannot forgive him if he repeats it in the future.Brian regularly texts me every morning and evening. He only asked questions like: Have you eaten or not? What are you doing? Has my mother come home yet?Such simple sentences make my heart flutter.This afternoon, I felt my stomach was a little uncomfortable, so I cooked minced meat porridge. Every time I eat this dish, it reminds me of my childhood days with my parents.This is the dish that my mother still cooks for me when I'm sick and doesn't want to eat rice.I had just finished half a bowl of porridge when the phone rang.Seeing that the person's name was Brian, I quickly picked u
Day after day, it's Christmas tonight. All the streets in the city are brilliant with colorful lights, cars are bustling, and everyone wears beautiful warm clothes, flocking to amusement parks and churches together. I got off the taxi, walked to the twenty-five-meter tall pine tree in the middle of Novaland Gallery square, took a few selfies, and asked the beautiful girl who was with her boyfriend nearby to take two full-body photos for me. Most people go with their lover or with a group of friends, with family, no one is alone like me. When I look at them, I feel a little sad. I am twenty-four years old and have not had a single piece of love on my shoulders, although my eyes, nose, mouth, hands, and feet are all complete. Before, when I was in high school, I had a crush on an upperclassman. He is handsome, humble, and talented. Before I could muster up the courage to confess my feelings to him, he had already moved away. It was not until last year, when I was reading articles a
Day after day, Brian and I gradually got used to the routine of work.He runs Sunshine Bank and a representative branch of Hana Group and also manages BB company.As for me, I can only assist him in running BB company.From my dream of becoming a fashion designer, I am now the owner of a fairly large fashion company.BB company's representative office and workshop have been moved to another place and expanded the scale of business and production.Today is the day orders placed according to Brian's designs are exported to foreign countries.Watching the container leave, my heart was filled with indescribable emotions when thinking about the past months. Satisfied. I am extremely satisfied.“Richard.” I spoke up in surprise and quickly walked to the car that had just stopped in front of the company gate.“Hello boss.” Richard smiled gently and handed me the huge box.“What is this?”“It's your husband's goods. Please give it to him for me. I was passing by here so I stopped by to give i
After a night of making love to the point of exhaustion, I woke up in Brian's arms. And he was still sleeping.Brian's face, his body, and the diamond ring on my ring finger told me I wasn't dreaming.Out of habit, I used my index finger to move from his forehead to the tip of his nose, then draw around the thin lip line.“Ah, why did you bite me?” I screamed when Brian suddenly bit my finger.“You've been bitten by me many times but you still don't stop this habit. How's that? Do you miss me?”This guy knew and still asked questions. I frowned and nodded. If I was stubborn and shook my head, he would have grabbed me and made love to me one more time. I should not provoke him.“I told you to stay at home and I would arrange to go home early, but why did you sulk, neglect the company, and drink alcohol?” Brian grabbed my cheek and stretched it. His voice sounded as if he was dissatisfied.“Why did you lie to me when you came back to America to meet your grandfather? Didn't your grandfa
More than a week has passed since Brian left. I still go to the company and urge the workers to work.I looked at the calendar and realized that payday was coming up. The company's salary fund is only enough to pay this month's salary. Next month, if there are no investors, I really don't know how to manage.Sitting alone in the office, my eyes couldn't focus on the numbers.Brian only sent me a text message when he just arrived in America, telling me that he was very busy in the near future and might not be able to call or text me, and then he completely disappeared.I don't believe he's so busy that he doesn't have time for me. His phone seemed to have been turned off, or he had changed his SIM card, so I couldn't contact him.As for Harold, since Brian left, I have not been able to contact him.Zalo is turned off, and Facebook is also turned off. I sent an email, but no one responded. I don't know how many more days I can try to be strong.I am very tired. My heart is hurt. My inte
Harry nodded and sat down. He constantly blamed me for taking his business card without giving him my phone number. I had to lie and say I forgot. “Ah, that day you said you would sign a contract with my company next week, but why did you stay silent?” I pretended to be innocent and timidly asked. “Brian didn't say anything to you? Didn't he ask you to text me?” Harry's eyes widened and looked at me. “No. I know nothing. Because he was so busy, I took the initiative to make an appointment with you to ask.” “Okay, I don't like to beat around the bush, let me tell you.” He picked up the glass of water and took a sip before continuing. I have to admit that his face is really thick. He didn't hesitate and said that as long as I became his lover, he would sign the contract immediately. And every month, he will give me two thousand dollars to spend. I have to admit that in his eyes, I'm valuable. Right. When Brian was still a rich young master, he was also fascinated by me. It seems
Another week has passed but I still don't see any contract from WE finance company sent to BB company.Could it be that that man named Harry scammed us? But for a week now, Brian has stopped following Harry.During the past week, he was always present in the office and then went to the factory.Although there were times when he went out, in the afternoon he would stop by the company to pick me up and take me home, cook with me, and have meals with me.“Brian.” I stared at him and called.“Uh. What's up?” He said while typing continuously on the computer keyboard.“Why don't I see the contract? Why is that guy silent? Do you need me to call to remind him?”“Don't call. Don't sign anymore.” Brian stopped typing and looked at me, his voice very serious.Brian and that guy think the job is a joke? He's been serving Harry all this time, losing his health, getting drunk, vomiting, and now he says he won't sign.These two men thought they were playing jump rope and soccer, right?“Why?” I as
In the following days, Brian only appeared at the company in the morning, and in the afternoon was the time he diligently searched for investors. Every night he was drunk when he came home. The deputy director of WE Financial Company must be a glutton and a drinker who keeps inviting my beloved to useless parties with the promise of doing business together. The partner's advance payment is thirty percent of the total contract, so we can only import some fabrics and accessories for pre-production. Within two months, Brian must find an investor, otherwise the contract will be late. I told Harold about it and he was willing to help, but both he and I knew that Brian would not accept it. That persistent man will never take money from Harold. “The fact that I asked Mr. David to buy most of the apartment so that Brian could return to his position as bank president sooner was discovered by him. He said that I was pretending to be a good person.” Harold's voice sounded like he was blamin
After another half month, Brian's designs have been completed. He handed the company over to me to manage and then flew to America to meet his partner. If those stores agree to cooperate, this will be the first step full of hope for his dream and mine. He lay next to me every night, unconsciously forming a habit, so when he left, my sleep was restless and not good. In the morning, I have to apply more eye shadow to cover my dark circles. The front of the train must be fresh for the rear of the train to be excited. I want to transmit positive energy and enthusiasm to my employees. As the dusk gradually fell, I stood up, arranged the office, and waited for the workers to leave, then I left. Brian and I are always the last two people to leave the company. “There's someone looking for you.” The security guard said as soon as I stepped out of the gate. I quickly recognized Richard's car. These past few months, he's been busy and I've been busy too, so we haven't had time to see each
Brian tormented me all night, but he was still able to wake up early and prepare to go out. As for me, I felt pain all over my body, so I kept lying on the bed, glaring at the man combing his hair in front of the mirror. Today, he will hire people to renovate the premises, and then import machinery. “Will you come back at noon?” I yawned and asked. “No. I came back late in the afternoon. I will buy food for you to eat. Don't cook anything today, just rest.” It seems that this guy still has some conscience. He knew he had exhausted me. I sat up, put my hand in the desk drawer, took out an expensive ring, then approached Brian and placed it in his hand. Since the day he gave it to me, I haven't worn it much, only occasionally taking it out to look at it. So, it's still very new. “Thank you, Bella.” He wrapped his arms around me and rested his chin on top of my head. I suddenly heard his soft sigh. I raised my hand and patted his broad back. All will be fine. I think so. Not lon
“You... you should go take a shower.”I used both hands to place on Brian's chest, trying to push him away, but the result was that he remained as inert as a rock, as steady as bronze.His eyes were filled with lust, and dreaminess, and looked at me affectionately.“It's too late, Bella, this fire can't be put out anymore.” His hoarse voice rang softly in my ear.The stimulation from Brian nibbling on my earlobe made me almost numb.The two times we had sex in the past, he and I were entwined with each other when I had lost most of my consciousness, but now, the feelings were so real that I didn't know how to receive him.Maybe I need to drink more wine. As long as I drink more alcohol, I will be more courageous or I will be completely drunk without knowing anything.“I... I need to drink alcohol. Brian, let's drink some more wine.” I tremblingly suggested to him.Immediately, Brian left my ear and raised his head to look.I was excited, thinking he would agree, but I didn't expect hi
