CHRISTINE..."Coming!" I shouted from my room when the bell rang again. Whoever it is, must be very impatient.Wearing a reserved black robe, I get off the bed and opened the door only to gasp and curse my luck.It's none other than, Maximo Lombardi standing in front of my door! Fuck my luck! And now when I think back, how come I didn't think of this man? Who else would do such a thing at this hour?"Wh...why are you here?" I whispered out in shock.His smooth brow raised high. "You are my woman. Why can't I?"I blinked, realising the truth of my present. Of course, he has the right that he has taken it by force. Silently shutting my mouth, I stepped aside, letting him in.I really don't want to warm his bed, not today anymore. My skin still hurts from the shower. I just want to have a peaceful night after everything that happened to me today.He slowly wandered into the living room, observing the place. And with his huge figure in my apartment, the place seems so tiny for him to fit.
CHRISTINE...My whole body turned numb for a second with that glance. It was a blur appearance but my mind was pretty sure it was him. If it was, then why is he here? And if he is here then I could meet him here as from now on I have to stay here.The thoughts were roaming around me like a tornado but I couldn't get much time to flow deep into them when suddenly I was pushed back roughly on the lift wall with a force and immediately my tiny figure covered with his huge one as his lips crushed on mine.I gasped in his mouth. His intoxicating scent tingled my nostrils and huge rough hands started roaming all over me.His touch was urgent and impatient. Exactly like a hungry panther that could not wait for more to eat his prey.He took the lead already, devouring my mouth with pure lust. I flinched the moment his hardness poked my belly. This man is crazy enough to ravish me in this god damn lift if he wasn't stopped and that would be recorded on the CCTV!Fuck! I have to stop him!I pus
CHRISTINE...'Whatt!?'I stared at Elliot in confusion. Some parts were crossing the limits."So, when I was in university, I was accused involving in some random relationships. That was... him?"Elliot nodded. "Probably that is."My entire body felt numb at this point. Tears pricked in my eyes. That one rumour has destroyed my entire life."The entire school has passed rumours about me having sex with lots of random guys. Students bullied me. Teachers mocked me. And my parents, they misunderstand me and kicked me out of the home."This man is not only ruining my life now, even he did it three years ago too!"You are the first one who dared to drug me, this little punishment, you deserve that." A low-deep and husky tone rang close to my ear, making me shiver to my core.Elliot, who was looking at me all this time, his gaze lowered immediately to the floor.I gasped at the moment when his fingers wrapped around my throat."Now I think, I should have caught you three years ago." He whis
CHRISTINE...I gasped, freezing on the spot.Didn't know what just came over to me, I immediately jumped back, hiding myself on the lift wall, or tried to, hurting my ankle on the way.My soul clenched tight, didn't know why? Seeing them together or because of the sudden ache that chose me to make a little home in me.I leaned against the elevator wall. The fact is, I didn't know why I am hiding from their eyes. It only proves me guilty which I am not. Still, I want to hide. I want to disappear from this place and never face them ever."Baby, I am so disappointed!" I heard Carla's voice. "You promised me a date last month! And we still couldn't afford some time to make it real." She complained. "It feels like, we can't even meet next time."A sweet tone that she always used on Michelle, yet I never really understand that before till he is gone...My thoughts were interrupted by the discreet tone of Michelle. They are softer than clouds."Oh honey, I am sorry for making you wait." Ther
CHRISTINE...Numb... Destroyed... A bad luck of the universe... That is what I could describe myself with. And I should do that next time while introducing myself to others.Because never in life had I thought to enter the vessel of heaven, nor I imagined to do such a malicious thing ever in my life.Before my eyes, there were only fragments of artistry that I could never be in the place to touch one and here I just broke a row of shelves in just a few seconds.All the eyes were on me now, staring in horror and some were sympathetic, maybe? But, that is not what my mind is on.I am not scared. Not embarrassed. Just lost and broken before Michelle Macmillan. For a brief moment, I thought, I win the situation but no. God really has some other idea against me.I could feel his eyes digging holes in my back and that was coursing my anxiety."Ma'am... You alright?" The waitress that was hosting me approached me with a polite and professional tone.When I watched her face with my blank eyes
CHRISTINE...I didn't know why did I take Maximo's name in this situation. But, that seemed the only thing that appeared in my mind when I was confused and out of sane.Everyone stared at me as if I said I am the queen of London. It was a shock. Well, I don't blame anyone. When I couldn't believe it sometimes how would I expect people to believe it?Suddenly..."She is a liar! How come such a low person like her can know Maximo Lombardi!?""Yeah, this madam is right. Didn't Mr Macmillan say she has no money to pay for anything? How can we believe her? Just call the police!"Their words fell like a siren to my ear and it annoyed me. How can he know me? Well, the fact is he knows me... Well enough!"Do whatever you want," I spoke calmly. "But before that, let me speak to him." Saying, I brought out my mobile from the bag.The latest iPhone was given by my captivator. And without having no other choice, I called Elliott, praying inside my mind for him to pick up my call.Because if he do
CHRISTINE...I was dumbstruck at the place of mine. I mean, did I hear it right? He just ordered his men to call the owner of the shop and blame the staff for what he did, where I am also a little partner in crime.I was sent in a daze and only could watch what was happening.Suddenly, the staffs of the porcelain gallery were on the floor, on their knees, not caring about the destroyed place anymore.Colours were drowned from their faces and sweating crazy."Mr Lombardi, please forgive us. We beg you, sir. Please, let us go." The main waitress said. And when Maximo didn't even bother, her eyes turned to me with pleading in them."Ma'am, please... We beg you. Please spare us. We will die if we lose this job. Please, forgive us. We were blind to not recognising you. Please, let go of us."I blinked, feeling pitiful for them and looked up at the furious man. I gulped hard. "Maximo..."But, closed my mouth with his hard glare on me. I can't endure his furious side. He is already mad and d
CHRISTINE...Done... sticking out my tongue a bit, I looked at the dishes I made for Maximo. No, I suddenly didn't fall in love with him, it's just a showing of gratitude from my side for his help today.Though he has an extreme way with everything, I appreciate his approach today.The dishes are nothing close to Michelin-star quality but they are pure homemade dishes from my heart. He seemed to eat my cook well, so I am hoping he would like it.Elliot appreciated my efforts as I waited for Maximo to come for dinner. Elliot guessed he would end up here and he was right. He did appear with his imperial mood.He was surprised at first when I served the meals and arched his brow questioningly."Miss Williams thoughtfully cooked for you to show her gratitude," Elliot said.His eyes fell on mine and I nodded. "Please, taste it."And slowly, he started eating his food. I swear, watching him eating my food looked like he has served for years! I mean, the man who grows up with lavish tastes,
