Just when John heaved a sigh of relief, a thunderous ring from the phone resounded throughout the living room, disturbing the silence. John was scared out of his wits and nearly tossed the phone away. He quickly turned it off. But it was too late. The devil had been awoken. Christian slowly opened his eyes, not showing a trace of humanity. He looked towards John with eyes that shot daggers and the color in John’s body drained. His face was just like the color of paper. Elizabeth was also in a state of shock! Christian had a horrendous temper whenever he woke up. If he was disturbed during his sleep, that was akin to the end of the world. Panicking, Elizabeth stretched out her hands. She covered Christian’s eyes with one hand and tugged his head against her shoulders with the other, whilst caressing his soft hair with her fingers, "It’s okay… Go to sleep…" One second went by… Two seconds went by… Three seconds went

This was the first time Elizabeth entered Christian's study room.She took a step in and immediately felt a kind of overwhelming oppression. The room had a depressing color scheme and in her field of view was a superior audio system playing soothing music in the background. The curtains were drawn completely and the whole room felt shut-in.There was a great abundance of alcohol in the room–a row of various hard liquors was neatly lined in a huge alcohol cabinet.Other than Christian, there was someone else in the room. Christian’s hypnotist.From the looks of it, Christian was preparing for bed. Well, so much fuss just to go to bed… can't he just ask for his bed back. It's not like she is unwilling to move from there. So stubborn.Seeing that he slept quite soundly last night, it was probably due to the lack of sleep for the past 3 nights?As Elizabeth entered, the hypnotist left.Under the warm glow of light above

Riya and Elizabeth left the house in the same car. When they reached the hotel Riya entered first, but Elizabeth stood at the entrance staring at the hotel.The renowned hotel where Elizabeth works is known to have the best standards and highest food quality in the City.Elizabeth was locked in this town from the day she entered this place. She never had the chance to leave this city. She always had a plan to leave the town when she reached eighteen but now that she was finally able to leave her aunt and be an independent girl.But everything changed in a blink of an eye. When she thought she can fly like a free bird, an invisible chain traped her, She was free but was also trapped. She can do whatever she want now, but could not leave the town or Christian which was the only thing she wanted to do.Elizabeth stood at the hotel entrance. looking at it she was plunged into deep thoughts. She was only able to enter due to the fact that she only helped someo

Chelsea stood up arrogantly. Dressed in luxurious clothes from head to toe, she shone brightly. Combined with her haughty expression, she appeared even more superior. “Huh, don’t think that you can truly have Christian just because you married him. I’ll tell him directly that I don’t like him being with you. I’ll tell him to leave this place and live with me. Even if you’re married, you won’t ever see him again. All of your ulterior motives will be useless!”How did you become his wife when I am the one he loves? I'll be the only one he can love. I'll never let him be yours.Although Chelsea had a haughty expression on her face, Elizabeth could tell that she felt angry and helpless. Although this woman was distasteful, she was, in fact, a pitiful woman. Perhaps it was a shortcoming of these wealthy families that marriage was not by choice.They were all victims. she indeed pitied Chelsea. She can't even marry someo

When he made a turn into the kitchen, he saw Elizabeth seated at the bar counter. One of her legs was resting on another chair, as she leaned herself against her knee. Her long and slender legs were pale and soft, and her skin was smooth and flawless. She was wearing only a pair of pants and a white tank top. In front of her was a hot bowl from which the aroma was emanating. Evidently, she was eating supper.But this position…Christian watched her pick up her fork, twirl them around some noodles, and stuff them into her mouth as she started to eat heartily. He closed his eyes, exasperated. “Elizabeth…”Immediately, Elizabeth turned her head in surprise. When she saw Christian, she almost fell off her chair.“Christian, why don’t you make a sound when you walk?” she yelled. She patted her chest and said, “I thought there was a ghost.”Christian said, “You were cooking?” He did not
