“You have no heart! Instead of apologizing, you insulted my house and my memories?"
Gabriella grabbed Max's hair brutally. Even though he was grimacing, the man was still able to stand up straight. His hands did not hesitate to grip the girl's wrist and freeze the attack.
"What am I sorry for? I'm not guilty."
Gabriella's annoyed chuckle rang out.
"You're innocent? You think I believe it? Aren't you the one who gave me threat? Do you forget?" the girl protested as she jerked her hand.
“That was just a saying. It wasn't me who destroyed your house."
Gabriella started jumping up and down, adding strength to the pull, but the CEO still gripped her wrists.
"Let go! I don't want to be touched by a cruel bragger like you!”
“Did you just accuse me of bragging?"
Max twisted Gabriella and locked her from behind. With arms crossed over her chest, the girl could do nothing but jump up and down. Even though her head hit the man's chin several times and the dizziness blew her eyes even more, she still struggled as best she could.
"Let go!"
"Enough!" Max started to get overwhelmed by the madness of his guest.
"Let go ...!"
The CEO could no longer be patient. With his much greater strength, he dragged the girl onto the bed, then crushed her like a cop catching a criminal.
"Akh!" Gabriella groaned as a huge explosion struck her head. Not because of a collision with the mattress, but because of something stirring her stomach.
"Hueek ... hueek ...."
Max's eyes widened spontaneously. "Are you going to throw up?"
"Hueek ..."
"Not here!"
Max took his guest to the bathroom. He shuddered as he watched Gabriella vomit out of the toilet.
"It's a right choice I gave her two glasses," Max spoke to himself.
After washing her mouth in the sink, Gabriella looked down and caught her breath for a moment. After that, she turned around to reveal her pale lips and red cheeks to the CEO. There were no more words from her mouth.
"Do you want to attack me again?" Max challenged as Gabriella staggered toward him.
Miraculously, the girl shook her head and walked past him.
"Hm? Has the honesty potion reacted?"
Max chased after Gabriella and grabbed her arm. "Hey, what do you really want?"
With her eyelids half open, the girl looked at Max.
"Home."
“Oh, you want a big house or a fancy one? Take it easy. But, tell me ... who told you to oppose the Quebracha project?"
Gabriella shook her head weakly and repeated the same words, "Home."
Max's forehead frowned unhappily. "What does it mean?"
"Home."
A second later, Gabriella's leg lost its strength. If the CEO didn't catch her, she would have fallen on the floor.
"Ah, I should have given this girl one glass," Max regretted as he carried the girl and laid her on the bed.
Standing up and pinching his chin, the man observed Gabriella's appearance. Messy hair, pale lips, and dirty dress. The girl was totally messed up.
"What is this girl's purpose?" the CEO turned his thoughts from another perspective.
"Is it possible if this girl is really innocent?"
A second later, Max shook his head ignoring his words.
“The innocent girl can also be used. The Enji Company or Colorwood could have sent her to screw up the project. They must already know that this girl is crazy."
The CEO approached and observed every detail on Gabriella's face.
"When sleeping like this, she's pretty too." The man did not realize that he swallowed hard.
Suddenly, the cellphone on the table rang. Max grabbed it and checked the notification on the screen.
"From the unknown number?" His eyes rolled to check in all directions. "Is it the threat again?"
Without wasting time, the CEO read the message.
"Let me guess! You must have given the woman the honesty potion and now, she's asleep."
Max's hands were tightly clenched again. With a heavy breath, he stared at Gabriella's innocent face.
“She was indeed a messenger? Tch .... "
The cellphone in Max's hand rang again.
“Then, have fun! But, be careful! Don't let the girl get pregnant. Not only will Evans' name fall, but also you from the CEO position."
Max snorted angrily.
"What does it mean by having fun? Does this person think I'm a jerk?”
After putting the cellphone on the table, the CEO turned to Gabriella's bag on the floor.
"Why is it so hot tonight? Even though I just finished showering,” Max muttered as he poured the contents of Gabriella's bag.
Notebooks, wallets, cell phones, and musical notation paper were the four things that attracted his attention.
“She's a musician? Or just pretending to be a musician?"
Max threw the paper to the bag.
"What is this? Her handwriting is terrible,” the man commented as he opened the notebook.
“The woman must practice writing. Or maybe … it's not her who wrote this book.”
Max unhesitatingly threw the book into the pile of useless items. After a blink of eyes, his hand opened the girl's wallet.
"It looks like she's in need of money. Poor her."
A second later, the man's fingers were already holding Gabriella's ID.
"So, her birthday is next month. Tch, she's not as young as she looks. Her face's really deceiving."
After returning the card, Max closed his wallet and switched to the cellphone.
"Password?"
With a lopsided smile, Max walked back to Gabriella and pressed her thumb against the sensor.
"Stupid!" the man muttered in satisfaction. Then, he sat on the edge of the bed and began to check every file on the cellphone.
Messages, phone logs, contact numbers, even to photo and video galleries. His eyes widened when he saw the number of recorded videos.
"Is this daily reports?" the man who was still suspicious of Gabriella guessed.
Without a doubt, he clicked on the latest video. The girl's sweet smile immediately greeted him.
"Hello, Mom. Today, I join a competition. It's only the first round, but I still have to look pretty, right?”
The girl stood up and stepped back until her entire body fit into the screen.
“I really want to wear this dress. But, this is too sexy. There are many male workers outside. I'm afraid that my clothes will provoke unpleasant things."
Gabriella picked up another dress from the bed.
"Then, the second option is this long dress. It looks more polite, right? Would you like to see me wearing it?"
A second later, the girl turned around and started stripping off the dress on her body. Max's blood suddenly rustled. Even as Gabriella finished wearing the second dress, his eyes were still rounded onto the screen.
"How is it, Mom? This one is more elegant, right?”
After checking her appearance from several directions, the girl came closer again.
"Pray for me, Mom. I will not disappoint you. I'm going to win this one."
Gabriella's sweet smile concluded the video.
Swallowing hard, Max turned his head towards the sleeping girl beside him. Without a word, he put the phone on the table and began to look at Gabriella's body with interest.
When he regained consciousness, Max found his hand stroking the girl's sensitive area. As fast as a flash, he pulled his hand away and stepped out of the bed.
"Jeez .... What was I thinking?"
As he walked back and forth, Max fanned his head and caught his breath. Instead of subsiding, the desire within him grew up. His body began to throb in discomfort.
"What's wrong with me?"
Suddenly, Max's cell phone called again. In an instant, he read the message from the threat.
"It is the most potent stimulant. Don't even try to fight back! Your heart will not be strong."
"God damn it! When did the threat put the stimulant in my food?" Max thought while filling the tub with cold water.The man stepped in as soon as his clothes had been taken off. Then, he closed his eyes trying to catch his breath."Geez! I can be crazy!"The CEO grabbed the soap and played himself. However, the lust within him was too great to overcome. Even after he washed himself, the heat that ran in his veins never went out, while the thirst for woman was even more burning."I can't take it anymore!"Max got out of the water and wiped the body carelessly. Without a single thread covering his body, he went to meet the woman who was asleep on the bed."I'm sorry, Miss. But, you came to this house by yourself. You must be willing to serve my desire."Max hurriedly stripped Gabriella's clothes. He didn't even hesitate to tear the dress in half at the front.The girl's brows furrowed slightly as Max began to play. Her subconscious mind
As soon as the CEO left the bathroom, he gave Gabriella a look of disgust. While opening the wardrobe and taking clothes, the man said, “Stop crying! Your tears won't touch me." There's no answer. The girl didn't even flinch with her eyes glaring at Max. She knew that whatever came out of her mouth would not be trusted. So, silence was the best answer. "I'll give you one more chance. Tell me ... who paid you for all this mess? If you are honest, I will tolerate you." Until the CEO was fully dressed, Gabriella remained locked in the voice. No matter how tired her heart was in facing painful accusations, she had to remain strong. “Oh, you still choose to be quiet? Okay, then, don't expect to get out of this room.” After making a threat, Max stepped out and locked the door. His expression was far from compassionate. In his eyes, Gabriella was nothing more than a despicable woman who would do anything for money. "Aunt Minnie, don't let any
"This is bad!" Max sighed as he moved the limp body onto the bed. "Aunt Minnie! Come here!" While his hands were looking for doctor's contact, his eyes occasionally checked toward the door. As soon as the butler appeared, Max immediately gave instructions. "Find clothes for this girl, please. Then, bring me a basin of warm water and small towel." "Do you want me to clean this girl?" Max shook his head quickly. He was afraid that evidence of his brutality would be seen by the servant. "No, I'll do it by myself." The middle-aged woman's winking turned stiff. "Are you sure?" "Yes." Max nodded while maintaining his expression. "Okay, wait a moment, Sir. " As soon as he got the requested items, Max immediately closed the door and wiped Gabriella's face. He did not have time to think about reluctance or compulsion. His brain was too busy getting rid of guilt. “Tch, this girl .... Why is she so selfish?
Max stared as the pen fell from Gabriella's grasp. Aren't the fingers of a pianist usually stable? Then, why was that girl's hand shaking so much?"What's wrong?" the man asked while raising an eyebrow.“I-I don't know. My hands are out of control,” Gabriella replied softly. A single tear flowed down as the girl's eyes flickered. Great anxiety had risen in her heart.After racking his brain for a moment, the man finally sighed. "Ah, it might be the effect of the drink you drank yesterday.""Will my fingers keep shaking?" Gabriella asked before turning her head around with a very honest face. It unexpectedly touched the CEO's heart."Of course not. It's only temporary. You just need to eat and rest. Tomorrow morning, your hands won't be shaking anymore,” Max explained with a flat face. He felt duplicity now. Since when did he soften in front of the girl?"Now, do you want me to help sign this contract?" the CEO asked after remembering his ultimate
"You think you can run away from me, sly woman?" Max said in a triumphant tone.Gabriella's head spontaneously shook her head rejecting the call. “I don't know anything about that message. Trust me!"“Shhh! Don't panic. Take it easy! The signed contract remains valid. It's just that you won't be away from me as long as you haven't revealed who your boss is.”The girl let out a tired sigh."I'm serious. I don't know who this person is. He's setting me up."Max nodded and pursed the corner of his lips."It's okay if you still don't want to confess. There are still a few days before the competition. You will definitely give that person's name to me before then.”Gabriella continued to shake her head even though she didn't speak a word. Her tongue was too stiff to move."Please enjoy your dinner. I want to sleep."Max shifted the table slightly to the left and then lay down on the right side of the bed. Ignoring the look at Gabriella'
Max opened the door in a sudden, so the girl near the window gasped."This is our target," the CEO said to a man in a long robe with a toolbox in his right hand.The man immediately paid close attention to Gabriella. After a few seconds, he nodded quickly."Good. Lock the door!"Max carried out the order without hesitation."What are you going to do?" Gabriella asked while pushing her back to the wall as she recognized the threat.The interrogator placed the toolbox on the table. Once opened, not only Gabriella, but Max also stared at the contents. Various knives and strange tools arranged on several levels. The first thing the robed man took out was a rope."What do you want?" Gabriella asked breathlessly.The man turned his head. His sharp eyes immediately cut the guts of the girl."Catch her!"Max moved to fulfill the order. He walked over to Gabriella, who was shaking her head, asking for mercy."No!"The gi
"My job's finished. I'm leaving now,” the interrogator said as he tidied up the tools hurriedly. "Send the payment to my account!""You still dare to ask for the payment after breaking our agreement?" Max snapped furiously while holding the unconscious girl."Actually, you should pay more. I manage to get information not only from one person, but two people."The CEO's eyebrows deepened. "What do you mean?"Sharp Knife closed the toolbox, carried it, then turned to face his client.“Didn't I say my job has finished? That means, I already got what you asked for."Max shook his head incredulously. When the interrogator smiled, his confusion grew even bigger.“First, this girl is innocent. She really doesn't know anything,” the robed man explained with a confident look."Why can you conclude that?"“Because no one could cross the line of fear along with other people's secret. If this girl is un
When Max arrived at home, the first thing he asked was Gabriella. "The woman is awake, Sir. But, she looks like out of her mind. She keeps crying and screaming so, I have to lock her in the room,” the butler explained nervously. "She hasn't eaten yet?" Max asked with a crease at his brow. "Not yet, Sir." The man let a sigh out of his mouth."Would you prepare some food for her? Take it to the room in about 15 minutes." "Yes, Sir." While the butler rushed to the kitchen, Max slid into the room. As soon as the door was opened, the girl who was hugging herself in the corner of the room began to tremble with fear. She continued to push her body backwards even though she was caught by the wall. Max's heart suddenly felt so empty. He had never experienced that feeling, a feeling that tore his chest and forced hands into tight fists.With slow steps, the man approached Gabriella. "Stay away ... don't co
