After I was kicked from Kang Xianliang’s room, I went back to the one assigned to me from the beginning. Sitting on the bed, I started thinking about the actions I could take. Pleading and whining were out of the equation; otherwise, I would be rolling on the floor, wetting it with my tears of desperation. Which meant I had to be cunning and merciless to escape this man’s grip.
However, it wouldn’t be easy. He put a lot of effort to establish us as a couple. Even if I wanted to end the ‘’relationship’’ the consequences would be disastrous. Kang Xianliang was a respectable businessman and desirable bachelor by many socialite women. They would hate me in their guts because I stole the man they had their eyes on. After we ‘’break up’’ they will gloat over my presumable misfortune. It wouldn’t matter who initiated the separation.

The message was crystal clear. If I dared to disobey Kang Xianliang again, he was going to shot Yan Si. He used a sniper was to show how serious his intentions were. I felt suffocating pressure. Slowly, I found a chair where I could sit. During this whole time, butler Che was eyeing me with a worried face. I tried to conceal my real emotions. I couldn’t show that I felt like an animal caught in a trap. I massaged my temples, gulping a few times because I felt like my heart went into my throat.‘’Young miss, is everything alright?’’ He tried to peep into my phone, but I locked it, making the screen black.‘’Yes, everything is fine.’’ My voice was low but steady. I tried as best as I could to control it, not to tremble. Butler Che looked at me suspiciously. I met his eyes confidently, refusing to show my true thoughts. If I let myself look like I was
There was a saying that enemies meet on a narrow road. Seeing Bianca here, that woman who ordered her lackey to torture me until I was almost dead, I wanted to lash out and scratch her pretentious face. I was so angry my whole being started trembling. I always felt like that when I had an adrenalin rush. But, I knew I had to get a hold of myself.‘’Calm down.’’ The man holding me whispered, his breath tickling my ear. I ignored the sensation caused by him and stopped my gaze at the approaching couple. Leonardo was seemingly smiling but judging by the thunderous colour of his blue eyes, deep down, he was angry. I remembered that a while ago in Venice, I told him I have nothing to do with Kang Xianliang because he threatened my cousin. Surely, I looked like a liar to him right now.‘’Mr Kang, thank you for having Bianca and me. We are more than delighted to attend this occasion.&rsq
I was thrown into a black Maybach in a very rudely manner. Hissing from the pain in my elbows, I raised my head to look at Leonardo begrudgingly. He sat nonchalantly, not paying me any attention and ordered his chauffeur to drive the car."Where are you taking me?" I tried to hide my nervousness as best as possible. If I learnt one thing from dealing with people who had ill intention towards me, it was to stay calm and try to keep my rationality. That
The sensation of hearing that soft dreamy voice and seeing this mesmerizing face was like crawling worms on my skin. My dictionary was too poor to describe the repulsion I felt when I faced that woman—all types of negative feelings mixed with each other behind my façade of benevolence. I smiled gracefully, acting as two-faced as possible. Not only could she be a hypocrite.‘’Bianca, I’m surprised to see you here in China. Shouldn’t you stay in Italy in order to not disturb your cousin while he works?’’ My honey-laced voice wasn’t inferior to hers. However, there were thorns underneath, which she definitely felt. For a moment, her nearly perfect smile cracked, but she got a hold of herself quickly.‘’Don’t worry, Luo, I never disturb him. In fact, he can’t bear to live without my presence.’’ She chuckled softly as
After yesterday’s gala, I finally got permission from the almighty emperor to come back home. It was only for a night, enough to pack my luggage and move to live with him. As someone who kept the given promises, I was efficient and fast. I spent a night organizing my stuff, and it was early morning when I finally finished. Thinking that I would catch up at least a few hours of sleep using the bright daylight, I prostrated myself on the bed. Alas, my hope was squashed. Someone almost smashed the door of my bedroom entering like an angry elephant.‘’I heard by the servants that you were so eager to live together with that b*stard that you spent the whole night packaging your things. Don’t you have some shame, Luo MacCarner?!’’ It took me a good few seconds to register the angry face of Yan Si, his accusing voice and the indignation rising in my chest. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, t
Realising that my wish to have some rest wouldn’t come true, I gave up my sleep and took a walk to the kitchen. Some maids would listen to every one of my whims if I told them what I desired, but I wanted to distract myself from my not so positive thoughts. I was almost there when the sound of the Han Wei’s falsetto voice reached my ears. I made a grimace from the unpleasant feeling she caused in me. Couldn’t this woman control her tone a little bit more?‘’Your daughter is no better than you, Genji. She betrayed the Yan family when she became an official girlfriend of that b*stard. Did you see the newspaper? She looks so contented in his embrace. Truly, the apple doesn’t fall away from the tree.’’‘’Watch your mouth and your business. Even if Luo really has feelings for him, you are not the one to criticise her decision.’’ What fo

After our conversation was over, I moved into the room where I woke up the last time when he kidnapped me. I had mixed feelings of being there, but I could bear with them. Then finally had some rest.For the next few days, nothing interesting happened except that Kang Xianliang proved his claim to be a tyrant. He forced me to have meals with him and took pictures for Weibo. According to his words, people should see how strong our feelings were. I agreed with his logic, but why should I be the one who did it? To this question, he said condescendingly it would be below his man's dignity. Only women spent so much time on social networks gossiping about other people’s lives and showing off with theirs. Hearing this incredible statement, I wasted a few seconds preparing contra argument but decided to keep quiet at the end. It would be a waste of my breath to try and pour some common sense in this man.
