Virginity in second marriages by Angela

"How dare you" Anna stepped forward and Alice stepped back, "This slap is just a warning. If you're smart, then step aside, if not...I of the Giordano family won't let you get away with this." Anna rushed forward in any case and slapped Alice.

It was so hard and fast that Alice did not have time to react.

"You dare to hit me?"

"You can hit me, and why can't I?" Anna stepped forward and said wickedly.

Alice put a hand to her face and stared at Anna with hostility as if she wanted to tear her apart, "Don't think that just because you are Serena's friend then I dare not to hurt you."

"Of course you can hurt me. You are even capable of stealing your best friend's husband, let alone me who is just her normal friend. Surely you will have ruthless methods to hurt me, am I right?" Hearing this, Alice's expression changed, "What nonsense you say. I don't understand what you are saying."

"You don't understand?" sneered Anna, wiping the blood at the corner of her mouth, "Of course you don't understand. After all, you always have to pretend, pretend to be Serena's best friend, pretend to be a naive girl in front of Mr. Cristian. But really you just want to seduce him. You purposely dress like this. Others don't understand but I do."

Anna's attitude was not at all friendly toward Alice.

Initially, what Anna thought was only a suspicion, but after seeing Alice come back with Cristian and seeing that smile and the expression on Alice's face, Anna was quite sure that Alice wanted to have an affair with Cristian.

"What do you understand? Yours is just a hypothesis. You have no proof. You can't defame me like this."

"I knew you won't admit it." Anna sneered, then held up her cell phone, "I already took the scene of you being together with Mr. Cristian and sent it to Serena. Guess what she will think of you after she sees it? Do you think you can still be best friends?"

Hearing this, Alice's expression changed in an instant, "What did you do?" She stepped forward to take Anna's cell phone, but Anna took a big step back and sneered, "What? If you didn't do anything, how come you're panicking?"

Alice tried to calm down, "Even if you sent it to her? I didn't do anything wrong anyway, and then Serena won't believe you." "Okay, so let's see." Anna put the cell phone away, cast a fierce glance at Alice, and then left.

When Serena went to make tea, she saw a Facebook message. After watching the video Anna had sent her, she stood motionless for a long time, not even noticing the boiling water that was pouring out. She came to her senses when she felt the burning in her hand. She quickly put down the cup and looked at the burn on her reddened hand. She remained thoughtful for a while, then went to wash her hand with cold water and put on burn ointment afterwards. Finally she returned to her work place.

As soon as she sat down, she received another message from Anna.

{ I know you don't want to believe me now, but there is the video to prove that I am not talking nonsense. Serena, I am good at judging people, trust me.}

Serena stared at that message in silence. When she was about to respond, she received Alice's call.

Serena did not expect that sudden call. And the cell phone fell from her hand and kept ringing.

After a long time, Serena answered.

"Hello?"

"Serena."

Serena did not answer. She wanted to hear what Alice would like to tell her.

"Forgive me, Serena." Alice's voice sounded very distressed and her tone was pained, "Did Anna send you the video? Whatever she says don't believe her. We are best friends. We are like sisters, even if the whole world betrayed you but I would never do that."

Serena gave a strained smile. She wanted to say something but couldn't. Alice continued, "Tell you what, I'll pick you up after work and we'll talk about it okay?"

Eventually Serena agreed.

Meanwhile, Cristian called her to the office giving her a business plan and asked if she had any suggestions. Serena was a bit surprised when she took that project. He had never asked her for advice. How came today....

"What?" Cristian looked up, "Is there a problem?"

Serena looked up and looked at Cristian, then silently shook her head and carefully read the project.

Someone knocked on the door.

"Come in."

The office door opened and Leonardo entered.

Serena was focused on the project and took no notice of the one who entered.

When Leonardo saw Serena, there was a slight sadness in her gaze but then he quickly returned to normal. He went to the desk.

"Cristian."

Serena suddenly heard Leonardo's voice and immediately raised her head.

Cristian looked at Serena out of the corner of his eye. He wanted to see what Serena's reaction would be, but he did not expect that she would raise her head. He felt an anguish inside and his hand gripped. Leonardo and Serena's gaze met for a few seconds, then Serena lowered her head again. Leonardo wanted her to work for him but she didn't go. Then Cristian promoted she to work and now she was here. Maybe he would think she was a vain person.

"What?" Cristian's voice was cold, staring at Leonardo with a sharp gaze.

Leonardo first cast a glance at Serena then said, "I'm here to deliver the document." Leonardo stepped forward and placed the document on the desk.

Cristian stared at that document and sneered, "Since when is it my brother's turn to personally deliver documents? Or is it because you heard that someone is here and you can't wait to come and find her?" Serena remained speechless.

She didn't say anything. What did that have to do with her?

Cristian was very hostile toward Leonardo. They were not real brothers. Serena could understand that there was hostility between them, but she did not want to come between them.

Leonardo smiled, "You misunderstood. It's just that my secretary was busy so I came personally. Take a look at the documents. If there's no problem, you can sign it."

Cristian stood still staring intently at Leonardo.

"By the way, didn't you demote her? I was thinking of taking care of her and transferring her to work for me as a secretary."
