9. Controlling Gabriella
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
CEO's Love in Trap 14. My Future Wife
Max rubbed Gabriella's pale cheek. In a sudden, his heart rippled with an indescribable feeling. “This girl must really hate me. Can I face a wife who holds a grudge against me?" The CEO's hand shifted to gripping the fingers that were threatened before. "I'm so lucky that Sharp Knife still has a heart and common sense," he sighed, looking down. "Thanks to him, I still have hope." Gently, Max pulled Gabriella into his arms. Without hesitation, he closed his eyes while stroking the girl's hair until his hand stopped moving. For the first time, Max Evans fell asleep with such a gloomy feeling and a woman in his hug. The next day, the CEO opened his eyes and found that he had not moved at all during the night. After confirming that the girl in his arms was still asleep, he loosened his embrace and adjusted Gabriella's reclining position. "I hope today is a good day for us," Max whispered before getting out of bed.

“Ah, I should have asked you to take a shower with me,” the CEO said as he stroked Gabriella's hair. "Max!" Amber shrieked while pulling the man's arm. Her ears felt hot from what Max said to another woman. “Don't try to test me! I also have a limit of patience." For a few seconds, the CEO didn't make a sound. Only when the man was standing with Gabriella in his arms did he reply, “I have run out of patience. Don't expect me to accept you as my wife!" Amber suddenly sighed in disbelief. Her pride was hurt, especially when Max turned around without adding a word. "You will regret it if you reject me!" the young lady exclaimed, throwing an index finger. However, no matter how hard she shouted, the CEO still ignored her."You will never be happy with that girl! Never!” "Auntie, protocol four!" Max suddenly gave a signal. He was really bothered by Amber's voice. The butler immediately nodded and stepped inside."Sorry, Miss," she

"I think that's enough for tonight," the CEO muttered as he stretched his neck muscles. He had been focused for four hours, but the mockup was still not finished.“Tomorrow, I have to spend more time,” Max thought as he turned to look at Gabriella. The girl was asleep with her hand still holding the pen.Silently, the man approached and examined the girl's work. Three seconds later, the corners of his lips lightly lifted."Not too bad. It's messy, but still usable,” the CEO nodded with satisfaction.After one blink, his eyes turned to the beautiful face. Without realizing it, Max also tilted his head."Are you tired?" he whispered, stroking Gabriella's hair.One breath later, the man flinched."Wait a minute. Why did I touch her?"Blinking in surprise, he folded his arms then cleared his throat. The girl who had previously laid her head on the table suddenly sat up straight."I asked you to work but you
CEO's Love in Trap 17. Julian's Arrival
As soon as the door was opened, a man burst in with his fists tightly clenched. The servant behind his back could only grimace in worry. “How dare you betray my trust! I gave in to you, but you mess up the company?” The man's forefinger pointed at Max's face. “Watch your mouth, Julian! You didn't yield. You ran away, and I never screwed up the company." "Is it true? Then, why is this woman here? In your room." The gaze of the uninvited guest fell on Gabriella who was frowning behind the CEO. "What's wrong with my future wife here?" Max replied in a relaxed tone. Not only the girl, but Julian also flinched. "Your future wife? I can't believe that what Amber said is true. You have been instigated by this woman." “Lower your voice, Julian. We're not in the middle of forest, and you have no right to shout at my girl like that." The guest snorted. With hands on the hip, he looked away, trying to clear his min
