Her Never Ending Crush Affair

Shielded By The Ruthless Military Boss

Mo Yufei

I was an intern nurse working exhausting shifts, yet my mother constantly forced me into blind dates with wealthy, arrogant men to secure our family's social standing. During a terrifying hospital lockdown, an assassin disguised as a doctor held a scalpel to my throat. I was almost killed, but a high-ranking military colonel threw his own body down a flight of concrete stairs to shield me. I survived with cuts and bruises, but when I went home, my mother didn't care about my near-death experience. She was only furious that I had rushed out on my blind date with Preston, a rich financial analyst. She forced me to meet him to apologize. When Preston grabbed my arm, bruised me, and mocked my attack as a pathetic lie, my mother still took his side. "Men get angry," she told me coldly. "It's your job not to provoke them. You will beg for his forgiveness, or you are no longer welcome in this house." I had narrowly escaped an assassin, yet my own family was willing to feed me to a monster just for a fat paycheck and neighborhood gossip. My heart went completely dead. So, when the intimidating Colonel appeared, offering me maximum military protection through a sudden marriage, I didn't hesitate. I walked back into my parents' house and calmly slapped a crisp marriage certificate onto the coffee table. "I won't be apologizing to Preston. I got married today."

"Ahh! Shit! I got only twenty minutes left," I blurted out after seeing the time on my phone.

I was pressing the button on the elevator while looking at my phone when the lift suddenly opened. I hurriedly got in while still looking at my phone. I was putting my phone in my bag when the door closed. I was about to walk towards the elevator button to press the ground floor when I saw a man standing in front of it.

My eyes widened, and I froze where I was standing.

In front of me was none other than Kristoff.

I didn't see him for the past five years, but I could still remember every inch of him.

I looked at him in the glass door of the lift. He was busy typing on his phone. My eyes roamed to his face. Those piercing eyes and thick brows that I always love. His lips were the sweetest that I ever tasted. And his body. His body was to die for.

It was still him, but the mature one. He was leaner and still oozing with hotness. No. He was way hotter right now!

I cursed myself silently and looked away.

'Damn, Belle! You were still the same Belle five years ago! You still had the hots for him! Stop ogling, bitch! I thought you already moved on from that freaking hot marine guy?!'

I cringed. It was as if I could already hear Kylie saying it to my face as if she was with me right now.

I glanced at him again. Kylie was right. He was back. Damn!

Did he still remember me? Hmmm… I smiled when something came up on my mind.

Let see if he could still remember me.

I cleared my throat before I said, "Can you press the ground floor for me? Thank you!" A smile crept on my face but suddenly died down when he pressed the ground floor button without even looking at me.

Damn! Same old, Kristoff.

Does that also mean that he didn't recognize me? I looked at myself in the mirror. Who would remember me? I was totally different from before. I even cut my hair short. Maybe that was why he didn't recognize me. I bit my lower lip and glared at him in the mirror. Damn him! He just ruined my day.

Why of all the places I would see him here? What was he doing here anyway? Tsk!

The elevator stopped on the ground floor. The moment the door of the lift opened, I went out right away. I noticed that he didn't come out. I looked back, and before the door closed, I saw him smirk and said, "Nice seeing you again, Belle."
