Chapter 42 : The Cracks
Christian
"You want that one?" I ask Ivanna, looking up at the book she's staring at for a long time. And she can't reach it, of course.
"I can take it," she shoots me a glare and looks up again.
I have brought her to the library again, wishing to lighten up her mood. She hasn't spoken to me the entire way and it sucks. I love her rants, not her silence.
"You can't reach it, Iv. Let me—"
"No," she says straight.
"Okay, fine. You'll take it with your own hands," saying I reach behind her and grab her waist, lifting her in the air so she can reach the upper shelf.

I was just wondering—" she twists her hair a couple of times, holds them up and scans herself. It seems like she's wondering what hairstyle she should choose."Let them be.

IvannaI feel the cold breeze touching all over my body and thus I realise I'm only in my lingerie now. I have squeezed my eyes shut when he parts me away, my arms doing their futile job to cover my upper body.He touches my chin and lifts my face as my eyelids automatically part to look into his intoxicating deep eyes. He keeps looking into my eyes without even blinking as if he's trying to look for a bit of resistance. But there's no resistance I can show to him. Right now, I just want him. Only him.I yank his collar and pull him closer to me, breathing heavily."Kiss me", I pant. "Kiss me hard"He slams me against the wall again

Mr. CEO, Marry Me On Conditions [The CEO's Replaced Bride] Chapter 49 : Without YOU
Ivanna A week. A damn week passed and it doesn't feel like air passing by. It feels like a minute passing like a year. For the first two days, I was disturbed and guilty for uttering such hurtful things to him. I didn't know what I was doing. I knew what kind of man he was. He was anything but not someone who forces himself on a woman. But I literally hit that point of him. What did I want when I was accusing him? Maybe, I wanted him to get tired of me. I wanted him to get annoyed and stop caring about me. I wanted him to hurt me back for hurting him. I didn't want to fill the voids between us. Because deep down, I was scared to accept how far we have come. I was scared to admit that I was falling for him when I was already in love with someone else. I was going crazy after him who did so many wrong things to my family. I just wanted to stop myself. At any cost. However, I didn't know it would be so hard. So damn hard.

Ivanna As I fight with my tears to hold back, I hear the sound of the door. What is Mrs Fisher doing at this hour? I look at the door when it opens, causing shivers all over me. Christian comes inside, taking lazy steps. He looks burnt out and tired. The moment I realise he's back, a small smile curves on my face. His eyes land on me, swollen and red as if he hasn't slept for days. Our eyes meet, leaving me dumbfounded— I don't know how to speak and how to react. He doesn't smile, nor does he look happy to see me. He's still angry and hurt. I can feel that from the way he gazes at me. There's nothing but silence.
