365 days to love Epilogue
It has been a year since Mei died and I was starting to get used to her not being around. Although today that I remembered that she would have been alive with the bay and I, it hurts. Our daughter is a year old and she looks so much like Mei. Her hair is really long, it already reached mid back. She’s shy and lives the rose bushes. It seems like she’s a reincarnation of her mother. She plays around at her house. She also loves the rose vase where Mei’s things are being held. They gave me the rings and the locket and buried her like that. I have my daughter the locket but the rings were stored in the rose. I would make sure to keep it somewhere safe and away from Mei. It’s too precious to get lost. “Mei,” I called out to her. She ran down the stairs, stood in front of me and smiled. She was still wobbly and I always warned her not run down the stairs. She started walking three months ago and now she thinks running down the stairs is such an easy task. “Mei, I keep telling you to
365 days to love Discoveries
In a world where everything must come to an end, I never expected that my end would be coming so soon. I tried so hard to concentrate on what the doctor was saying but the only thing that stuck was I only had a year to live. Well if I went through chemotherapy and other endless cancer treatment.I can't believe this is how everything was going to end. I was going to die a very boring person, an overly protected daughter of rich lawyers. I was going to die a very boring person and not even my crazy rich Asian dad could save me. I didn't get the chance to live like a normal human, I closed my eyes and let the darkness consume me.Earlier today I sat on my bed, preparing for my first physical day at my dad's law firm, I used to stay home and talk to potential clients but today I get to go to the firm like a normal lawyer, I am so excited but a little sad, I have spent 22 years on earth pleasing and walking in my parent's footstep and here I am doing it again."Mei Xing" my mom yelled.

365 days to love The beginning
"I do not want radiotherapy or chemotherapy, they will only make me go through pain when I can just die at nature's dictated time," I blurted. "No," dad argued. "I have made my decision and you are not changing it this time. I cannot be healed so why go through all the stress," I said."I want to go home," I said. "If you want me to at least listen to your plans, then I must go home," I guess death was the only thing strong enough to push me into making such demands. Dad was going to refuse but mom stopped him. I got discharged with a lot of drugs and endless appointments for when I was going to start chemotherapy."So you will follow the doctor's instructions," dad said immediately after we got into the house."You know I should be given a chance to decide my life, I have been protected and you have decided everything I did since I was a baby, let me do something for myself for the first time in my life. You guys have had 22 years of my life, let me have this one year," I pleaded. Mo

I am getting married," I yelled and closed my mouth immediately, how did I let that slip. He hasn't even called me. I don't even know if he has accepted the proposal or not but here I am blabbing and telling my parents about the so called marriage to a strange man, who could be a serial killer or a murderer, maybe one of my parent's enemies."Xiao Ming," my mom called and I snapped out of whatever was going on in my head. "Yes mom," I answered. "What did you just say?" Dad asked. I took three quick breathes and turned to him. "Yes dad," I whined. "I did not approve of any man…" I cut him off before he could finish, I didn't want him asking me question even I do not know the answer to. "Yes dad, you do not know him because I did this for myself and I picked a husband who loves me and not someone who is after my family business, I do not want a gold digging, back stabber. I am going to die soon so might as well as make decisions for myself in the next 365 days. It won't kill you no
365 days to love Just a moment
Patience isn't easy when you need something done immediately, I stared at my phone patiently waiting for my phone to come on, it was taking forever. I stared at it waiting but nothing was happening. My patience was being stretched thin, I never wanted anything as much as I wanted my phone to come on, I realized my phone wasn't connected and all this while it wasn't charging. Life was making a deliberate mockery of me. I watched as my screen lit up slowly as it turned on. One minute felt like forever. I stared anxiously at my screen as it finally lit up displaying my wallpaper. I haven't appreciated the default wallpaper as much as I should have, I inputted my password and was about to call the number when mom walked into the room. I turned my phone off and turned to look at mom, everything had to pause until she left the room, my parents can't know that I was going to be getting married to a complete stranger. It sounded stupid to me too but it was the only way to achieve my dreams
365 days to love Bad luck
I should get a new name, maybe bad luck because I don't understand why nothing was going well, first I get stage three cancer, isn't that good news. And now the one thing I need to complete my stupid plans won't even pick up the phone. It was a phone, all you had to do was swipe and listen to the crap I was saying. "There is lunch downstairs, you don't have to eat all your nails," my mom said and that scared me. How long has she standing by the door?“Hello," a strange voice murmured and I had to quickly end the call. "Lunch?" Mom asked and I nodded. I do not want to eat, I want to stay here and talk a stranger into marrying me. Standing up I watched my phone ring, I turned to look at mom and then my phone, I couldn't answer the phone and talk with with mom in the same room as me. I groaned and followed her downstairs. "Àmà" I whined as she dragged me downstairs. I could walk around erfectly there was no need for the rush. "Your dad is waiting and the food will get cold," she cauti
365 days to love A stranger’s reunion
"Beep, beep, beep," I looked up at my reflection, I could see the sadness laced in my movements. "Hello," I heard a voice and I smiled happily. "Hello, this is Mei Xing," I said. "I was calling to book an appointment at the Lin firm but I changed my mind but you kept calling, I promise there is no issue," the person said hurriedly and ended the call. I stared at my blank cell phone, I just wasted my time, it wasn't even the stranger. He probably doesn't want to marry me. Why would he marry me? What am I, Cinderella? Fall in love, be a princess and live happily ever after? Defeated I went back to my room, this was not what I pictured, I pictured a perfect ending, one with me and the stranger. That was so stupid, I sounded right earlier but now the stupidity of my plan glared at me. I laid in my bed, staring at the ceiling, it was so white and so out of reach. I couldn't even leave a normal life and the one thing I wanted, I can't get it. Life just hated me, I never did anything. I
365 days to love Probably a date?
The gut feeling of being watched overwhelmed me, I looked up and saw two pairs of eyes staring at me, I got awkward and fled the building after paying for my meal. "Min Jun," I called out to the stranger. He looked at me and began to walk away again.I quickly stood up and chased after him. "Hey," I called out to him. He continued to ignore me and kept walking away. "Hey," I yelled and ran after him, I grabbed his hand and he turned to look at me. "What!" He yelled. His voice attracted people, they turned to look at us and I got shy. I hid my head avoiding their gazes, I didn't want anyone to recognize me. Min Jun dragged me into a flower store away from the questioning eyes. "What do you want?" He asked me. "You never called me, I just wanted to know if you wanted to be with me or not," I said. While I blurted out my thoughts, I stared at my hands and admired them to ignore his eyes."Be with you?" He asked, I nodded still staring at my hand. "Didn't know you were that desperate to
