CHRISTINE..."Since you only want to cut off our relationship, then why should I give you some freedom?"His voice is cold as ice that sends a chill down to my bones."Wh..at do y.ou m..ean?" My throat dried in fear."Christine, didn't you understand what I'm saying to you in the room upstairs?"I only stared at him, blinking. My mind turned completely blank."I have a paranoid personality disorder. No one can change what I decide." Maximo moved closer to me, almost touching my lips as he said those words, enhancing every part of it. "So, I have a feeling that you should give me a child."My eyes widened in shock.In the next second, His domineering kiss fell on my lips without showing any trace of gentleness.He covered my lips and repeatedly kissed me, ignoring everything else, he gave me hisbreath as if he is declaring his possession."Mmm, no..." I was shocked, trying to resist.He put one hand on the wall, the other around my waist, behind my back, andsuddenly unzipped my dress
CHRISTINE...The next morning, I woke up early to make breakfast. In other words, I did not even sleep the whole night.I could not understand why Maximo would fall in love with me. I never wanted that nor tried for once.I have never seduced or angered him before, and never shown him any advantages.Then why?Wait... Advantages?Thinking the whole night, I could not find any answer for myself.I looked at the finished breakfast on my plate, and suddenly a thought crossed my mind.Could it be that my stupid culinary skills attracted Maximo, causing him to unknowingly fall for me?Immediately my mood sank. I mean how is it even possible? I even don't like to eat my own food!Wait, but he would eat everything I make.I stared down at the food and then immediately threw the breakfast into the dustbin, and then started to fry the eggs again.I only managed to put the eggs on thebread after they are slightly burnt, and finally smeared with chilli sauce.Well, I made it worst now.I put th
CHRISTINE...I never wanted it. Definitely not. I almost slumped down onto the chair, my hands tightly holding onto the fork, and my mind in complete chaos.In the end, I was still dragged away by Maximo to his company.The sky was clear, and the "ZZZ" Building was located in London's technological district.It was a magnificent sight. The Director's Office was at the building's higher levels.Inside a large area of windows, Maximo is working at a desk, his hand holding onto a mouse as he checked the technical reports on the computer.He soon put down the mouse and pressed the centre of his brows with his fingertip, soothing himself from exhaustion.He slowly turned his head and watched me. I am sitting in front of a white desk that has been set up after he brought me to the office.I sat there with the notepad in hand. The tip of my pressed against the white screen, but I wrote nothing."What are you daydreaming for?" He spoke in his usual deep voice as he looked deeply at me with hi
CHRISTINE...In the last sentence, he said it very heavily, very tyrannically and authoritatively.His words send me into a daze.'I want to see you as soon as I'm done.'He used to tease me and scold me for being worthless. But after last night on thecruise, he didn't try to hide his interest in me anymore."Let's go," Maximo said as he grabbed my hand and left, not caring about my wishes at all.I was forced to walk with heavy steps as I was dragged along by him.I could not help but ask, "Can't you consider my intentions?"Since he likes me, shouldn't he respect me even more?Hearing this, he stopped in his tracks and turned to look at me, his eyes staring at me.Time seemed to be stopped as I felt a chill down to my bones.After staring at him for a long time, I removed my gaze and heard him saying confidently, "I can take that into consideration, but compared to what I want, yours is not important. So mine should be followed now."I watched him speechlessly. He is indeed sufferi
CHRISTINE..."Didn't you eat?" I looked at him in shock.Didn't he go to the lunch meeting? There was a reason for it to be called a 'lunch' meeting, right?Then What is going on?"Yes." He replied."Then you …!""I want to eat again.""But didn't you give it to me? I'm still hungry." I am depressed because I am starving still.Maximo elegantly chewed on a piece of meat, with his golden eyes swept across me, "Then stay hungry, go back home to eat. I want to eat more.”I held my forehead with a headache. He doesn't even need to eat two meals, yet he still wanted me to make another meal for him who was starving?He really has no conscience and is overly selfish.Does he really mean what he said to me before? Or, that was just an infatuation because he likes my cooking?I sighed, holding my empty stomach, I turned to look out of the window. I guess, I never should have been born in this world.Soon, the car stopped in the Vassel of Heaven. And I followed Maximo behind in the lift.Halfwa
On the street at dusk, in a coffee shop...CHRISTINE...I sat at the window seat alone. When I turned my head, I saw that outside the window, a black luxury car was parked on the street.The rear window slowly rolled down, and Maximo's blank face revealed as he is sitting in the back seat.From the distance, I could feel his deep gaze on me. His golden eyes never withdrew from me.He can not live without staring at me for a minute, can he?I felt a little helpless and called for the waiter and ordered two cups of coffee."Chris..." I heard Mom's voice as I saw her walk in. She sat across from me.I could tell with a glance at my adopted mother's face, which is normally wellmaintained, has become much more haggard, that even her exquisite makeup could not cover up her wrinkles."What happened, Mom? You look so tired. Is everything alright at home?"She put down her bag, looked at me and sighed."How can I not be tired, Chris? you don't even know what is going on at home recently.""Wh
CHRISTINE...'Paper of severance.'My whole world just shook at the sight of it.My fingers pressed against the cup andpoured the entire cup of coffee onto the table.I picked up the documents without thinking, which were not wet at all."Chris!" Mom cried out in alarm and quickly stood up to wipe the stains off my body with a tissue.I stood up and pushed her hand away, "I'm fine.""No, it's easy to get scalded like this.""Let's talk business." I looked at the concern in her eyes and suddenly felt that itwas a little ironic.She doesn't have to show me this concern after breaking me apart.Pushing away her hand, I coldly said, "Aren't we here to discuss signing?"The waiter came over and cleaned up the table."Chris" Mom sat down and looked at me with a troubled expression on her face.Her face was filled with bitterness. "Your father and I have been arguing for a long time, but he still insisted on doing so. He thought they were arguing for you, so the thing will end when you are
CHRISTINE...As I stared up at him with shocked and teary eyes, I heard..."Heh." Maximo stared at the document in his hand and sneered, "I thought it wassomething big that made you cry like this, Christine, do you still have any future?""You are —" Mom looked at Maximo in shock."You are the foster mother?" He looked at her and asked coldly.Mom somewhat turned humble, maybe because of his strong aura. She nodded, "Yes. I am her mother.""Is the person who abandoned their child fit to be called mother?" With a wave ofhis hand, Maximo pushed me inside and sat beside me.He looked at Mom coldly and said, "That biological mother of hers is not worthy, nor are you.""Maximo, what are you doing? This is my business." I did not care about crying and immediately said to him, though sounded very weak.He glared at me."Look at yourself, what rights do you have to tell me that it's your own affair? I will handle it!" He was extremely arrogant."I …" I was rendered speechless by the blockag
