Chapter 4

*GIANNA*

So far,I've been having a good time settling down except for my sudden marriage.Griffin has gone to Country B since he registered with me, and I'm sure he can't wait to bring back his children. I hope he succeeds.

Maxim, my lips keep popping this name in my spare time. It's been almost a week now, and I've blocked anyone or news related to Maxim, and I'm sure he won't be uncomfortable with me leaving because I'm just a cheap toy for him, and he can always find a replacement.

I read some books and mostly spent the time at the garden.

I planted a lot of flowers and vegetables and while working on the garden,I realized what I wanted to do for work for now.

I wanted to be a florist.I quickly made a mental note to immediately start looking for a store.

This house was beginning to take shape again and feel like home since I was back to look after it.

My doorbell rang.

I quickly set aside my shovel.I had ordered some takeouts and I was starving.

I washed my hands in a rush and headed for the door.

As I opened it,I was surprised to see Jacob.

I stood by the door not wanting him to enter.How did he figure out my home address?!

I had wanted to be far away from Maxim,to never see him again so the least I expected was seeing his secretary at my doorstep.

"What do you want?"I asked.

"The boss sent me to bring you home."

I laughed."I am home."

"Don't be stubborn,Miss Weston.Go get your things and let's go."

"I think I made it perfectly clear to Maxim that we were through.He should check his text messages."

"He wants you back."

"To humiliate me further?"

"Stop making things so difficult,Miss Weston.Mr Lewis is a very busy man and I have a lot of paper work to attend to.I don't have time for this."

"Jacob,you do not get to talk to me this way anymore.I am not your boss's pushover anymore so I would not tolerate your attitude."I warned.

Because Maxim wasn't very respectful of me,most of his employees treated me like trash.

It was only Grace who treated me like a human being.Jacob was particularly mean to me.

Whenever I couldn't reach Maxim and would reach out to him instead to know where Maxim was,he was harshly tell me to know my place in Maxim's life!

It had hurt so much to be treated without respect but I was willing to endure because Maxim still wanted me around him.

Now,I didn't care anymore.Even if he was going to treat me with respect,it was too late.

I didn't need his love or his respect anymore!

"Mr Lewis would not be happy if you don't come back with me."He warned.

I laughed."Who cares if he's happy or not?To hell with him."I made to lock the door but he blocked it with his foot.

"Jacob,there are CCTVs everywhere so you better respect yourself!"

"Why are you playing hard to get all of a sudden?"He then laughed."Do you seriously think that this would make Mr Lewis finally love you?If he love you,even a little bit,he wouldn't have canceled the engagement party!"

I tried not to let his words get to me.

I already knew this and since he was reminding me of it,it only gave me more determination to never degrade myself again.

"Well,thanks for the reminder.You know,anytime I reported your behavior to Maxim,he always defended you because you're his efficient and incredible PA.But look up."

He looked up to see the front door camera and I could see his teeth clenched.

"Now that I have evidence about how despicable you are.I wondered how he would feel when he hears this,plus,you're doing a very bad job in convincing me to go back to him."

I moved closer to him.

"Now go back and make Maxim understand this.Him and I are over.I do not want to have anything to do with him as well as with anyone around him.Scram!"

He scoffed."I hope you keep playing hard to get like this.You do not deserve him.Did you seriously think you could compete with Nadia.You stood no chance from the beginning and it was funny to."

Before he could finish speaking,I slapped him hard on the face.

He held his cheek,looking shocked that I had slapped him.

"I warned you not to talk to me like that ever again!"With that,I slammed the door on his face.

I leaned against the door,fuming.

The nerves of him.

To compare me to Nadia?

Even if Maxim had chosen Nadia,she wasn't better than me and I wasn't inferior to her or any other man.

I am Gianna Lewis.I'm beautiful and I'll have a beautiful life.I am going to love myself and let no one break me ever again.

Now I have to ask the property management to upgrade the security level of my apartment so that no more unrelated people can break in.
