Her Second Marriage With Mr. Cristian

Cristian sensed the pain and withdrew his lips and tongue.

“It seems that Mrs. Ferrari not only barks, also bites.”

Cristian sneered as he reached out to wipe his lips. He had a handsome face and was very attractive while smiling, especially since he usually had a cold expression. However, the present smile was hostile, like a provoked lion, along with the red blood on his lips, which made him even more handsome and evil.

Serena finally found a chance and pushed him away, moving to the corner.

“Cristian, what do you want to do? Don’t forget you made rules with me. You want me not to touch you. What are you doing now?”

Cristian remained silent, staring at her coldly.

Serena adjusted her clothes, and looked at him persistently.

The more she acted like this, the more Cristian wanted her. She was just a remarried and pregnant woman. Why should he pity such a woman? How could he cancel the operation and bring her back home after knowing that she might die.

Cristian, you were crazy!

Staring at her for a few moments, Cristian left a sentence, “Even if I want to play, I’m only interested in clean women.” Having said this, he turned the wheel and walked away from the room.

The room became quiet again, and finally Serena calmed down. Sliding weakly along the cold wall, she hugged her knees and cried softly.

Cristian, outside the door, hearing the sobbing and crying, sneered with disdain.

…

Two days later, Serena’s opinion of Cristian remained cruel, ruthless and hostile all the time.

Although a loud argument happened, he did not say a single word to kick her out of the house.

But Serena was not comfortable, as she still had to go to the company being his assistant.

Cristian however always purposely embarrassed her.

Serena could only find ways to solve every time every problem that happened. Although she was not smart enough, but she was tough and determined. She gritted her teeth to face all of them no matter how Cristian behaved to humiliate her.

On this day, Alessandro called her into the study. Serena felt extremely fearful in front of the elderly man.

“How has Cristian’s assistant been doing recently?”

Hearing this, Serena reflected and replied politely, “Everything is fine.”

The elder raised his eyebrows and narrowed his dark eyes, “What do you mean it’s fine? Did you gain his trust?”

Serena did not understand: “Huh?”

“Do you think anyone can become an assistant? Aurora, I have known your parents for a long time. They say you are smart and you should be able to understand what I mean.”

With a heartbeat, Serena asked uncertainly.

“Alessandro, you mean…”

“Cristian has leg problems, and it affected his character. Therefore, he behaved cruelly and selfishly. The Ferrari family group is large and cannot be destroyed in his hands. What you have to do is to prevent him from doing unfavorable things against the group. But being a woman, you wouldn’t be able to understand much of it, so from now on you have to bring back to me every day the timetable of everything he does.”

Although Serena was not smart, she was not stupid either.

She understood what the elderly man said, and replied unconsciously, “Alessandro, do you mean that … I have to supervise him?”

“Presumptuous!”

Provoked by the word ‘supervise,’ the elder grabbed the ashtray on the table and slammed it against her.

Serena’s eyes widened in fear and she watched the heavy ashtray flying toward her.

In a single moment, a figure rushed into the study, pushing Serena away from the spot.

Crack!

The ashtray fell to pieces in the position where Serena stood before. The volume of the sound shook her heart. Serena’s eyes widened and she looked at the elderly man in disbelief. Cruel and selfish were not descriptions of himself?

“Grandpa, Aurora just said things directly without thinking too much, and also because she didn’t understand your intentions.”

Serena found out that the person who saved her from danger was Leonardo.

“Aurora, my grandfather and I are just worried about Cristian’s health. After all, it is very tiring to manage such a large group. Besides, you must have seen his temper these days. He really acts crazy. Grandpa told you all this today not to supervise Cristian, because anyway in the future, the group will be all his. What we have to do is to help him.”

Serena bit her lower lip and said nothing.

The elder huffed and said angrily, “I thought the Gallo’s daughter was very intelligent. I didn’t expect that she could even say words like ‘supervise’. If others know that, what reputations will I still have? To have such a member in the family?”

“Grandpa, don’t be angry. I’ll tell her properly.”

Finishing his words, Leonardo let Serena away from the study.

Serena was probably startled by the scene. Not having yet recovered, she followed Leonardo without saying anything. Arriving at a silent place, Leonardo’s footsteps stopped. He turned and stared at her softly.

“Aurora, are you frightened? Are you hurt?”

Saying this, Leonardo stepped forward to hold her shoulders.

Serena immediately stepped back.

Her hands remained in the air and she paused for a long time in embarrassment. Serena’s lips parted and her head lowered, “I’m sorry…”

Leonardo smiled and withdrew his hands.

“It’s okay. Forget the things that happened today. Grandpa doesn’t intend to hurt you. There are problems between them and some things he can’t ask Cristian directly, so he can only ask you. Can you understand if I say that?”

Serena nodded.

“It seems you didn’t understand what I said very well. Maybe your mind is too disordered now. Go back to the room. When you maybe think about it a bit, you will know what Grandpa is doing is for Cristian’s sake.”Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Then I’ll go to the room.” Serena turned and left.

Walking a long way, Serena felt the sight of Leonardo settling on her back. It was only after she passed a corner that the feeling of that sight on her back disappeared.

Serena stopped, looked at the ground and thought deeply.

The Ferrari situation was unexpectedly complicated. She was not foolish and naturally knew what Alessandro meant. On the surface, it was concern for Cristian, but in reality it was surveillance.

Even Leonardo, always with a gentle smile, gave her a hallucination of a polite and modest gentleman. She suddenly discovered that he was on the same line with Alessandro, telling her those absurd words.

Serena suddenly felt cold all over.

People… you couldn’t judge them by appearance alone, could you?

Just like Francis then.

Francis went on to say that he was powerless to ask her for forgiveness as he kicked her out of the house one day with a lover….

Two years. He hold the secret for two whole years.

The human heart was truly the most terrifying thing in this world.

Suddenly, Serena no longer hated Cristian so much.

He was rejected by his family, just like her.
