Christopher continued, “Everything he does is for you.”

“For me? Including hurting someone?” Unable to put up with Justin’s

behavior, Bella scoffed. “He’s just covering up his misdeed in the

name of justice. Don’t say that it’s for me. I won’t stand for this.”

“Bella!”

Justin felt suffocated, and his misery showed in his voice. “I don’t

want to explain or justify my behavior. I just have one thing to ask

you. What am I to you?”

As her breath hitched, Bella felt her heart drop.

Despite the dimly lit surroundings, she could see the shattered and

anguished look on Justin’s face.

Christopher stared intently at Justin’s pale face like a hawk on its

prey.

“If you stop pestering me and being a nuisance in my life, we might

have a chance of becoming business partners. But if you persist in your ways, our only possible

relationship is that of enemies.”

Without taking another look at Justin, Bella held onto Christopher and

left.

Justin stood there in a daze, as if the whole world had left him behind.

Before he knew it, the chilly breeze pierced through him, drying the

tears in his eyes before they could pool again.

He would never love another the way he loved her.

Even the strongest love could fade with time.

Christopher’s villa was the second largest in the upscale area.

The biggest belonged to Bella.

Since the Iversons owned the neighborhood, Christopher could just pick any villa he wanted.

As they entered the compound, Bella felt bad that Christopher was

badly bruised in the face. She asked cautiously, “Does it hurt?”

Christopher curled his lips, grinning brightly and warmly. However, the

smile was stiff because of the bruise. “I’m fine. It doesn’t hurt that

bad.”

“The bastard didn’t hold back.” Furious, Bella wanted to punish Justin.

“Mr. Salvador was in the army, and he went to military school. It

doesn’t surprise me that he was heavy with the beating.”

Bella scowled. “How did you know that he was in the army? Did you

run a background check on him?”

Unflustered, Christopher said with a faint smile, “Mr. Salvador and I

are rivals, whether in business or love. If I want to win, I should know

my enemy well.”

Reading between the lines, Bella pursed her luscious lips.

It was a shame that she did not see Christopher the same way.

In fact, she played dumb to his feelings for her.

“Please cover for me later when my mother asks about this, Bella.”

Christopher looked over and nervously gave her the heads-up.

“How should I cover for you? It’s not like you can fall and hit one side.

of your face.” Bella furrowed her brows, finding the excuse hard to

believe.

Christopher let out a wry smile, but the joy in his eyes was clear. His

affection was reserved only for her.

“I got an idea!”

Struck by a thought, Bella pulled out a compact powder from her

purse and handed it to him. “Cover up your bruise with this.”

“What’s this?”

“Do you know how to use it?”

Christopher looked at her with clear eyes and shook his head.

“I’ll help you.”

Bella opened the compact and dabbed the powder puff on the

pressed powder before drawing close to Christopher’s face. She

proceeded to dab the puff on his swollen cheek.

“Hiss…” The man grimaced in pain.

“Does it hurt?” Bella asked.

Christopher narrowed his eyes and leaned closer to Bella. He was just

inches away from her baby-smooth and beautiful face.

He could not love her more than he already had.

Their breaths mingled as the tips of their noses nearly touched.

Bella could even smell his minty breath mixed with his violet cologne,

which made her feel lightheaded.

“It hurt a little just now, but it doesn’t hurt anymore.” Christopher

looked deep into her eyes with a grin.

Bella stepped back a little, nearly dropping her compact powder.

Although she cried out his nickname in a moment of panic, that did

not mean that they had become closer.

“Come on, Bella. Any later, and I might not get dinner ready in time.” Christopher stopped teasing her.

He had to take things slow, as slow

and steady would win him the race.

The pair walked through the gates of the villa and disappeared out of

sight.

On the other side of the metal gates, Justin stood alone on the opposite road. His bloodshot eyes were

drawn to the villa’s distant

glow.
