Dylan stared at his fiancé curiously, despite the fact that she already explained everything to him he was still curious.
"By...Emotional break down....you mean"Anna sighed and looked at him, her dark green eyes filled with seriousness "I know you're confused....let's just say I know my father way more than he thinks"She felt it was quite unfortunate, that she could relate with a man who had hurt her and so many others…she realized she wasn’t so different from him and sometimes, it scared her.Dylan noticed she didn't want to talk about it anymore so he didn't probe any further. In an attempt to lighten the mood, he carried Anna in his arms making her squeal in surprise "W...what are you doing?!!"Dylan chuckled, "Aren't we supposed to be preparing for our wedding as well?, My brother is already married....I feel quite jealous" He said, a playful smile never leaving his lips. His eyes showed warmth, Anna couldn’t stop staring intoSu Chen stared at the girl who looked at hi with wide eyes, his lips curled as he picked up his car keys "I'm a soldier, despite my very handsome appearance, you think I will do something that illegal?"He asked before patting her head softly "I heard Li Zhang was using something to tie you down am I right?"June looked away and sighed, it was only a matter of time till everyone found out....despite the fact that she had wanted to hide this secret from everyone if she could "How....how did you know? Did Lu Zhang finally speak up?" She asked not daring to make eye contact, even though she didn't want to, she felt quite uncomfortable looking into those eyes of his."Him?....Yes, he did. He said something about you never betraying him....I haven't broken you out jail, you are not allowed anywhere out of this house till we figure everything out. He didn't tell us what he threatened you with so I need you to tell me instead, that way I can see how I can lower your se
Anna sighed for the nth time and looked outside her window...again. "Maybe I was being too impulsive when I quit?" she said to herself before sighing again. She missed the barrettes, she wanted to go back and also...she just hated the idea of going back to school. "I'm getting really lazy these days" Anna laughed before getting up to stretch. She had been sitting for hours, thinking and rethinking her life decisions somewhat. She turned on the TV but switched it off not long after. "OK, I need to get outside...breath some fresh air..." Maybe she was feeling this way because she had been indoors for to long, she thought. Anna decided to take a walk. It was almost winter, the wind was chilly but it made Anna feel better. She smiled slightly as she spotted a bench, she sat down with a sigh before taking out her phone from her pocket. She dialed her sisters' numbers but both seemed to be busy. Nathan wasn't even answering, she coul
Chapter One“Make sure you watch her every move and make sure she's back before 5pm”Anna sighed, hearing the orders her step mother gave to her bodyguards and personal maid, she was already used to the restrictions but it didn’t stop it from hurting, it didn’t stop her from hurting.She wheeled herself to the door and stared at her legs in annoyance, if she could walk she would’ve left, no one would know when or how…or why, they never cared to know about her feelings…it hurt, her whole existence hurt.“And you…” she heard her step mother's voice from behind her, she didn’t bother to turn around though. “Don't try anything stupid”..They were distracted, her personal maid Janet was chatting with her bodyguards, they seemed to have forgotten Anna was there with them…she was used to it.Anna wheeled herself to the main road, it was busy, dangerous and als
Why was she always this hurt? Why couldn’t her life just be like everyone else's story?She choked up as her eyes burned with unshed tears.Tears rolled down her cheek, the memories of her mother came rushing in"Anna just bear with it for now, nothing lasts forever""Anna don't lose faith, don't lose hope""You will walk again I assure you!""I will always be here for you, I promise"Anna's tears fell freely thinking about the empty promises her mother had given. Those promises…she didn’t keep them. Memories of her mother’s death haunted her every single day, her identifying the body…the burial, her last letter. Her mother had committed suicide, thrown herself in a river just to escape a life with her handicapped daughter.Anna clenched the sheets, ''You promised to be here, why?, why have you left?, leaving me to face all of this alone.I can't do it, I miss you.....I really do''She was left all alone, no body to comfort her, no body to love her…h
While the house was bustling with activity even though it was already squeaky clean, a black car with tinted glasses drove in. It got the attention of everyone working in Lunch mansion, Madam Lu stared out through her window, a dark smile appeared on her lips as she saw the men that stepped out of the car.All four of them carried and aura around them, just one look and one would know that they were men of authority. The older man with grey hair stood tall and rigid, his three sons followed behind him.When they stepped into the house, all the servants stopped their activities and formed a neat line, their eyes down, not because they were asked to but because of the fear they had for the men.With her thicker making up caked on her face, Madam Lu walked down the stairs excitedly after instructing her daughters to follow behind her shortly after.“Welcome General Duan" Madam Clara greeted with a huge smile on her face, as ev
Morning came and the weather was very nice and warm, although no one in the mansion had the time to enjoy the good weather.With the general's family currently staying over, the whole house was busy, every one making sure they do their best in impressing the sons of the general.The chefs made sure to cook their best while Clara supervised, they couldn’t slack off or blink. Clara made sure everything was up to her standards and more, she wanted to impress the Duans, get into their good books, this marriage working meant she got good connections and influence, she would finally have something to brag about to her friends.Although Lily was aware that she was engaged to Li Chen, she still couldn't help but admire that man that always followed behind them.The trio came down for breakfast and her eyes didn't leave Dylan. She had a seductive smile on her lips, her gaze unwavering. She suddenly had an idea…
"Miss Anna, here's the things you asked me to bring"Anna raised her head and stared at Janet, she was slightly sweating but she looked excited, it made Anna chuckle, the sound was uncomfortable to hear.Anna collected the box from Janet’s hands and thanked her, she looked at the box for a momentfeeling too bored and lazy to open it she tosses it aside and grabs her phoneShe stared at the last photo she took with her mom and a smile appeared on her face"I am sure that the madam is in a better place now" Janet said as she realized what Anna was looking at."Janet, what did Clara ask you when you were coming up?"Anna knew the woman would be suspicious, she had never touched a dime of the money that her father gave her because Clara had always told her she didn’t deserve it. She knew Clara would noticed she ordered something, she would probably come up here to cause a ruckus later."Nothing, madam Clara didn't say a word although she did look at me in
'Finally, I got what I wanted'Even though she wanted to struggle, she couldn'ther legs couldn't move and she was sinking faster and faster, she opened her eyes and stared at the darkness as it overwhelmed herShe felt her lungs giving up, and her life slowly slipping away. Her body fell deeper into the water.She could hear everyone's laughter, their words, everything they said to her, everything that hurt her, everything that led her to this point."You should just kill yourself!""It would be better for everyone!""Just die!""Die, so ugly!”Her life wasn’t a Cinderella story, she didn’t get the prince, she didn’t get the fairy god mother nor the beauty…she didn’t get the happy ending.Tears were falling from her eyes but was quickly swept away by the water."Create hope for your self!" In the midst of those laughter and scorns, she heard his voice, that man that gave her vague sense of familiarity.She didn't know why but she suddenly s
