Chapter 106: Cristian''s woman
"Didn''t I have a problem?" the look in Cristian''s eyes suddenly became menacing: "And who told you
that?"
His eyes were so fierce that Serena found the courage to answer him only after swallowing some
saliva, "I heard it from others."
"Ah, so you believe everything you hear from others? And then you should know if I have no problems
there now."
And as Cristian said these words, he quickly grabbed her wrist and put her hand right between his legs,
with a rush that startled Serena so much that she screamed and withdrew her hand. "Listen! Feel for it
yourself if I really have problems down there."
Serena didn''t know what to think anymore: why she needed to check Cristian''s alleged problems? In
fact, she was so frightened that she bit Cristian''s shoulder and immediately retracted her hand, taking
advantage of his astonishment.
"You''re crazy, Cristian!"
"Me crazy? And who was the crazy onest night when you were begging me to have sex, huh?" said
Cristian with a mocking smile on his face, then lowered his head until he bit her chin. "What, you think
you''re a kitten? As soon as something happens, you bite."
Serena blushed embarrassedly. It seemed to her...that Cristian had apletely different attitude with
her!
"Don''t forget that!" added Cristian in a firm voice approaching her ear, "From today you are my
woman."
Serena winced at these words.
What did he say?
"In the future I don''t care if it''s your ex-husband, or Leonardo, or another man, you are no longer
allowed to date or look at them."
Serena did not know what to say anymore.
"If I only learn that you are still seeing them, or that you have feelings for them, I will then...."
Knock Knock
Someone knocked on the door of the room, and Cristian asked frowning, "What''s going on?"
From outside came Luca''s reverent voice, "Mr. Cristian, it''s almost time for the meeting."
"Yes, all right."
Cristian then saw that Serena was still in confusion, leaned toward her and patted her forehead with his
hand. "Is everything clear to you?"
Hearing these words, Serena unconsciously reached out her hand to her forehead and nodded.
"Today you can stay here in the hospital and rest. I will send someone to guard you. Then when I''m
done working, I''ll visit you."
"...Okay."
Even after he had left, Serena remained unconscious for a while, wondering what the hell had really
happened. Therefore, sitting on the bed she decided to try to make light of the past and what Cristian
had just said. Last night she had been drugged, plus incense had been lit in the room. Enrico Romano
knew that Cristian was powerless, so he had drugged him too, with the main purpose of making him
sick but also making her sick. In the end, however, Cristian had nothing, and even she felt fine when
she woke up. Only her body was covered with bruises and marks evidently from one night sex.
In addition, Cristian had just told her that from now on she was his woman. Did that mean they had

been togetherst night?
Just at the thought that all those marks on her body had been left by Cristian, Serena felt her face
getting hot. And she once thought God had yed a bad, bad joke on her. But never would she have
thought...
Never would she have thought that he was the person she had spent thest night with.
For a moment Serena did not even know whether to be happy or sorry about what had happened.
She thus spent half a day alone in the hospital. She was so bored here so thought about asking if it
was possible to leave early. The orders, however, had been clear: until Cristian returned, she could not
leave the room and had to wait for him there. Therefore, Serena could only resign herself and give in to
the boredom of the day.
After going to wash her hands for a moment, Serena noticed that her legs were trembling slightly. Just
now she had taken the opportunity to take another look at herself and had seen that those spots
covered not only her neck, but her whole body. Now even her legs were telling her that what had just
passed had been a night of wild sex. Yet she really didn''t remember anything, just barely remembered
Cristian who was asking her if she was okay and if she wanted more....
After that she....
The fact was that now Serena was extremely shameful, and she no longer had the courage to look
Cristian in the face. And just as she was making these arguments, she heard a noise very much like a
wheelchair outside the room.
Had he already gotten off work?
Serenapletely changed expression in her face and immediately closed her eyes, pretending to be
asleep.
"Mr. Cristian, have you finished work? Mrs. Aurora has been resting all day, now I think she is still
sleeping."
Hearing what Maya had just said, Serena was gald with her idea of continuing to sleep to avoid seeing
Cristian.
"All right," said a low, calm voice that showed no emotion.
The noise of the wheelchair then became fainter until it stopped altogether once he arrived in front of
the bed, while Serena who was pretending not to have heard anything, continued to pretend to be
asleep.
"You all can leave this room now."
Serena then heard two distinct footsteps, probably one from Luca Russo and one from Maya.
Soon after, silence fell again throughout the room. Serena, intrigued by a faint sound of flipping pages,
surreptitiously opened her eyes and saw Cristian who was at a different ce than before, headed
down and intently read magazines.
Serena did not know what to say.
Why the hell didn''t he leave? Did he want to sit here and read?
Serena then closed her eyes again.
He can continue his reading and she''ll pretend to be asleep in the meantime. So, she remained still,
while he continued flipping through the magazines.
The noise of the pages Cristian flipped through was actually little more than perceptible, but when he
heard Serena''s breathing finally calm down, he muffled the noise of the pages even more. Then he
looked up from the magazine, and his deste eyes fell on her delicate fair face. She was pretending
to sleep, and he knew it.
She thought he couldn''t tell, but the breathing when one was asleep was very different from the
breathing when one was awake. And the heartbeat was also different.
What a stupid woman...and she also thought she was smart.
How was it possible that the Gallo family had brought him such a person? Cristian thought it as he half-
closed his eyes. And he suddenly remembered about the documents Luca Russo had given him.
Serena''s life had always been simple, and evrey day was same: work, go home, shopping, cooking
and taking care of her husband. Too bad, thetter had always had other women. The marriage itself
had all been one big charade. Even before they were married, he had another affair. They had
quarreled with that woman, and he, who was moved by anger, had married Serena. But then, that
woman had returned....
And so it was until he won the lottery, and the two finally divorced.
Of course she had been really unlucky, but how was it possible that right after that she agreed to marry
one of the Ferrari family? There were a lot of families in North City who would have liked to form
rtionships with his family, but almost all of them were interested in Leonardo Ferrari, not Cristian.
Cristian had always been seen as a burden, a nobody, needing care every day being in a wheelchair,
and impotent.
So marrying him meant not only bing a kind of caregiver, but also leading a widow''s life. Or at
least, that was what others thought.
How was it possible that there was a woman willing to go through all this? Unless this woman was
dying to join the Ferrari family and seize the wealth and power of this family.
Cristian was still unclear about Serena''s moves. Since she had joined the Ferrari family, Serena had
not done much. Every day she was engaged in some strange business.
Exactly likest night....
