Her Second Marriage With Mr. Cristian

Serena, standing in front of the mirror, could not believe what she saw: on her fair neck, many strange purplish spots had suddenly appeared.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Serena had seen such spots before, but only once. That was on the evening when she had divorced Francis and had then been forcibly taken virginity for the first time by that stranger.

That very evening, after she had managed to escape and return to her parents’ house, she had immediately jumped into the shower and discovered that her neck was full of hickeys at that moment.

Exactly the same as now.

After being petrified for a few seconds, Serena lowered her gaze and, almost violently, opened her robe: just as she imagined, her whole body had those strange spots. Astonished, Serena stepped back leaning against the door behind her.

How could she have forgotten?

It was true that last night in the room they had lit incense… however, Enrico Romano had also drugged her. She was so worried about whether or not Cristian had been drugged by that substance. She finally forgot that she too had been drugged. From then on, she remembered nothing, only remembering that she woke up from the bed of the hospital, with these bruises all over her body.

Cristian was clearly impotent in that respect. He was absolutely unable to have sexual intercourse with her.

So what did all this mean?

What did it mean??!

Serena then fell to the ground in tremors all over her body.

God had really played a trick on her this time.

“Mrs. Aurora, what happened?” cried Maya as she saw her slumped on the ground. She then immediately ran to her aid, dropping all the things she was holding.

Holding on to her, Serena slowly managed to get up and reach the bed. Though in utter confusion, she suddenly remembered something very important and quickly grabbed Maya’s hand.

“Maya! Maya!”

“I am here, Mrs. Aurora. Tell me, what happened?”

“Help me. Call the doctor right away.”

“All right, I’ll call the doctor for you right away,” replied Maya who was frightened by Serena’s paleness. She did not dare to ask any more questions and rushed to the doctor’s office for help.

Hurriedly rushing into the room, the doctor saw that Serena was already awake, but just as he felt relieved, she forcefully grabbed his collar and stared at him. Serena was lying down with her big eyes open.

She had to talk to the doctor about it.

This was the doctor from last time, Dr. Matthias.

The doctor knew about her complicated relationship with Cristian, and seeing that she was barely keeping the words out of her mouth, he quickly turned to Maya, “The patient’s family members had better wait outside for a moment. I need to do some assessment first.”

“All right,” Maya said as she left the room.

Serena, grabbing a corner of the doctor’s gown, desired to say something, but her lips moved without emitting any words.

Dr. Matthias sensed what Serena was planning to ask him, sought her confirmation, “Miss Serena, have you been looking for me to get updates on the baby in your belly?”

With this question, Serena opened her eyes wide in disbelief, “Doctor, you know then?”

“Yes,” said the doctor who was nodding his head. Understanding Serena’s mother’s concern, he added, “Rest assured. The baby is fine.”

With the news that the baby had no problems, Serena breathed a big sigh of relief, and slowly let go of the gown.

“Thank you doctor.”

“But tell me. Is there anything else? Does it hurt anywhere?” And since she was there, the doctor took the opportunity to first check her pulse and then took the stethoscope to auscultate her.

“It’s all regular, miss. You just need to get some rest.”

But just as he was preparing to leave, the doctor heard someone’s voice approaching.

“Mr. Cristian, you are here too.”

Had Cristian arrived? Upon hearing this name, Serena’s look changed and she retreated all the way under the covers.

“Dr. Mattias is examining Miss Serena right now.”

At the very moment, the voice died out. The door opened and Dr. Mattias came out and stared straightly into Mr. Cristian’s eyes.

“Mr. Cristian, I have just finished the examination. The young lady is now awake and physically she has no problem.”

“Good.” said Cristian who nodded his head slightly.

Meanwhile, Serena had been hiding under the covers eavesdropping on the voices coming from outside the room, but as the sound of the wheelchair approached, her body almost twitched in fright.

Last night, what the hell had happened?

Bam!

The door to the room was slammed, making all voices disappear. Only the sound of the wheelchair approaching remained.

No one spoke, at which Serena wondered if Cristian had entered the room.

“What do you want to do by hiding under the covers?”

Being immersed in her thoughts, Serena was startled to suddenly hear Cristian’s voice.

“Are you afraid to see me?”

Serena was speechless.

Then, slowly, she lowered the covers until she could see Cristian. But at the sight of him, she froze: Cristian’s handsome face was hurt. In fact, his face was furrowed with three deep scratches, as if from a cat’s claws. And his lips were all marred. Had it not been for the perfectly fitting suit without a wrinkle, she would certainly have thought Cristian had been beaten.

“What did you do to your face?” asked Serena out of the blue.

Hearing this question, Cristian paused for a few moments, lightly put his fingers over his new wounds.

What did I do to my face? She really had the courage to ask.

“What do you think?” replied Cristian dryly.

Serena again remained speechless.

How should she know?

Cristian’s gaze then rested on her lower lip. Last night Serena had bitten her lip to the point of injury, and the doctor had applied medicine for her after she was sent to the hospital. By the looks of it, the wound had already almost healed.

The atmosphere in the room was strangely quiet, and Serena, without thinking, began to bite her lip again.

“Stop it, don’t touch it,” Cristian said promptly.

Serena immediately stopped, as Cristian squeezed her injured lip with his fingers, “Are you stupid? Every time when something happens, you only know how to bite your lip.”

“I…” Serena didn’t understand why he was suddenly so angry, with a look that really creeped her out.

“Your whole lip is ruined and you don’t feel anything?” said Cristian sternly, squaring her with his gaze.

Serena reached out her hand and touched her lips. Effectively, it hurt a little now. How was it possible that just now while drinking the soup she had not noticed anything? Could it be that she was so engrossed in other things that she didn’t notice?

“Stupid!” said Cristian to her again.

Serena could not help thinking that Cristian was really strange today: he had always been hard on her. He had always offended her, however… his tone… seemed to her to be much sweeter.

Was it just her impression?

Seeing that she was absorbed in her thoughts, Cristian released his grip and threw his gaze on the clearly visible marks on her neck at the same time. At the sight of it, Cristian’s dark eyes had a glow of contentment and satisfaction.

As he thought back to last night, Serena, who was almost in ecstasy, clung to his neck begging him to be gentle… Cristian felt as if there was a cat scratching him all over from the inside.

He then unconsciously moved his fingers over her robe until he uncovered her neck, and slowly stroked those spots on her skin.

Serena ran away from his caresses at first because of the tickling. Then she suddenly remembered the marks on her neck and, visibly she became angry and recoiled.

“You must not touch me!!!”
