Her Second Marriage With Mr. Cristian

“Come closer.”

“Mr. Cristian?”, Serena advanced a small step.

Cristian, seeing that there was still a distance of seven, eight steps between him and Serena, felt a disappointment growing rapidly inside, “I’ll give you five seconds, you’d better hurry up and come here in front of me.”

“Five.”

“Four.”

Serena quickly looked up at Cristian and saw that he was indeed counting. She therefore hesitated for a moment, but then caught up with him just at the stroke of the last second.

As he voice stopped, Cristian’s look instantly cooled as well, “You damn divorcee, how dare you make me wait!”

Serena’s complexion changed slightly, “Mr. Cristian, I….”

She had not yet finished speaking, that he brutally grabbed her wrists, pulled her violently to him and kissed her impetuously like a storm.

“Ah…” mumbled Serena who was now completely his prey. She was sitting on his lap, totally being enveloped by Cristian’s overbearing masculinity.

Serena’s mouth had been filled with Cristian’s tongue. He continued to kiss her with great vigor, occupying every single corner of her mouth and trying to breathe in his scent and breath at will.

She wanted to rebel, but since she could not move, she could do nothing but surrender to him.

About a few minutes, Cristian finally withdrew his tongue and still held her chin with his fingers. His proud gaze stared at her red lips.

“If I don’t do something to you, then you immediately forget who you are, right?”

Despite the vigor of the kiss, Serena was still very sober probably because the kiss lasted relatively short. Serena stared at Cristian. His eyes were as deep as the sea, and hid anger was akin to the waves rushing over the surface of the sea. So she blinked and said in a quiet voice, “Of course I know who I am.”

“Then tell me, who are you?”

Serena said with a laugh, “Mr. Cristian, instead of asking me, why not ask yourself? I am exactly who you want me to be.”

Cristian was speechless.

Damn her.

He just got mad at her, and she was pretending not to care?

“Divorcee, are you making me mad at you on purpose?” So he pinched her shoulder with some force. Serena frowned out of pain and moved her lips slightly, as if to scream.

Cristian, with piercing eyes fixed on her, said, “Even if I did that to you, and you don’t care about it?”

Serena recovered violently. Although he was only trying to stimulate her, she had made up her mind. She then closed her eyes and said in a calm voice, “If Mr. Cristian has let off enough steam, could you let me go now?”

After a long moment of silence, Cristian did not hold back and exploded again, “Let you go? Never in your entire life.”

He lifted her dress with violence that frightened Serena, who grabbed his hand and asked, “What do you want to do?”

Cristian scrutinized her and saw that Serena’s face finally began to change. He said in an almost devilish tone, “Are you afraid now? Until just now you were pretending not to be. And I thought you didn’t care anymore.”

Serena, not knowing what to say, took a breath and kept grabbing Cristian’s hand, preventing him from moving, “Mr. Cristian, I still have a lot of work to do, I….”

“Stop that.” Cristian then increased the force and wanted to lift Serena’s dress. Worried, Serena took a deep breath and shouted, “Cristian!”

Cristian’s hand finally stopped and said with a mocking smile, “Say it again.”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Serena, who could not stop herself from moving her lips in anger, was speechless for a moment. Obviously she did not go along with Cristian’s demands. His hand then began to move again, and his gaze grew more and more threatening: “You’re always obstinate, huh? Do you say it or not?”

Serena, who began to tremble, asked again, “Cristian, but… what do you want to do?”

“Carry out a husban’s duty.”

His warm hand was like hot iron resting on Serena’s skin and she was unable to stop herself from trembling. She tried to maintain calm at least in appearance.

“I told you, I’m pregnant, I can’t… I can’t….”

Cristian then arrested his hand and squinted his eyes. He had almost forgotten that she was pregnant.

Serena, seeing his hand stop, hoped he would let her go, but suddenly his hand rested right on her belly.

After all this time, Serena’s belly had not grown much. Cristian’s hand on her had frightened her not a little. He wasn’t going to hurt her child, was he?

Some more time passed. Cristian’s hand was still on Serena’s belly, as if to warm her, without being accompanied by any movement.

And only after a while, Cristian cleared his throat and said, “Do you really not regret giving birth to this child?”

Serena said nothing.

What could she say? The child was not her ex-husband Francesco’s. Serena then blinked and her eyebrows trembled slightly.

“You don’t understand.”

“Ah, what do you mean I don’t understand?”

“You are a man. You cannot get pregnant. You don’t know… what it means to be a mother.”

Seeing her like this, Cristian suddenly thought back to his own mother. He recalled the scene when his mother was dying. Cristian’s gaze sank for a few moments and he rested his head on Serena’s neck.

Before her death, his mother forced him to return to the Ferrari family, and Cristian was very resentful. His father introduced his mistress into the family, and kicked out his real wife. How could his mother agree to have a child by this man?

His mother then, was looking at him with smile and taking his hand.

“Silly boy, mother did not give birth to you for that man, but for you.”

Cristian was stunned at his mother’s words. He then squinted his eyes and asked, “For me?”

Beatrice Marchetti, who was at their side, heard these words and added, “Of course Cristian. Do you really believe that my sister gave birth to you for your womanizer father? She gave birth to you precisely for you. You are the one she kept for nine months in her womb. Even though that philanderer’s blood runs in your veins, your blood is also half your mother’s. Besides, when she had you in her womb, you were one. As a mother and… She could never have gotten rid of her own child in such a cruel way.”

Cristian was silent at these words.

Cristian’s mother was Beatrice Marchetti’s older sister. Her name was Iris. Cristian’s father had affair and introduced his mistress into the family after they got married. Iris was enraged and immediately filed for divorce, only to realize later that she was pregnant. At the time, her sister Beatrice advised her to get rid of the baby, but Iris wanted to keep it at all costs.

Certainly, the story of Serena and her mother Iris were very similar. The only difference was that her mother Iris did not remarry and raised Cristian alone, while Serena remarried him.

Cristian initially could not accept the baby because of this, and also did not want to take care of another man’s child. He also thought Serena was a fool who wanted to bring such a philanderer’s child into the world.

But her behavior reminded him of that of his mother Iris, and then… Physically, she could not endure an abortion, and that was the main reason she was still carrying that child.
