The Wife of Hades

Li Yilan froze in her tracks, the sound of her heels clicking against the marble floor gone and replaced with silence.

She stared at her phone for a long time as she tightened her fingers that were gripping onto the device. Her pupils dilated slightly, almost as if she was surprised at what she saw.

How?! Her chest moved up and down, and it was especially clear since the dress she was wearing revealed basically half of her chest.

How could she lose. . . to her?! She immediately closed, resisting the urge to throw her phone onto the ground as she looked around the empty hallway, running her fingers frustratingly through her hair.

Although she already knew what the results were going to be days ago, she still couldn't and didn't want to believe it. It was her first year here. . . Her goal since before she stepped foot onto the school was to win the school's beauty competition.

The winner was supposed to be her! But all because of that disgusting b****, she was only able to get runner-up. What was the purpose of getting runner-up? 

Why did An Luxia steal everything from her?! She was the one supposed to be the one in a good family, with good looks, with a handsome husband, the one popular, and the winner of the competition!

Why didn't she get thrown away?! Li Yilan clenched her fists together as she felt rooted to place, unable to keep walking although she knew that she was late already. 

Her nails dug deep into her skin as she threw her phone back into her bag and continued walking down the empty hallway, her steps faster than before.

She stopped in front of a door with the large number 7 engraved in gold and knocked twice before pushing the door open. 

The large room was empty and the lights were all closed.

"President Lin?" She called softly, stepping in as she closed the door behind her. The owner had told her that President Lin was a large figure and the young master of the large Lin Corporation.

She had "served" him twice in the past before, and he specifically requested for her today. He paid well, so of course she was happy to help.

She looked around and noticed that the restroom lights were open although the door was closed, and the sound of the shower water running could be heard. 

She pressed her lips together and put her bag onto the table, slowly sitting down on the large white bed. There were some red rose petals sprinkled on the blanket, and she sat on a few of them as she looked around in the darkness.

The water sound stopped and the sound of the shower door opening was heard. A minute later, the light flooded into the room as President Lin opened the restroom door, revealing a man that seemed to be in his 40s.

Unlike most old business owners, President Lin was not fat, but on the other hand, extremely skinny. Even more skinny than Li Yilan.

She turned around and smiled brightly as she stood up, "President Lin."

He smiled upon seeing Li Yilan as he closed the restroom lights and walked over, throwing the towel onto the bed and immediately pushing her back down onto the soft bed sheets.

Without another word, the two of them got started.

After an hour, Li Yilan laid on the bed with her eyes closed. She blinked them open slightly and saw Lin Qiwei seated upright on the bed with a cigarette in his fingers as he blew into it. 

She scrunched her nose up slightly from the smell of nicotine, but she immediately hid her disgust as she smiled and pushed herself up, placing one hand onto Lin Qiwei's stomach.

He glanced over at her and smiled, revealing his crooked teeth, "Why? You want to go again?"

Li Yilan returned him with a high-pitched laugh as she smiled seductively, "You're so annoying, President Lin. I'm tired. . ."

Lin Qiwei laughed as he threw the cigarette into the ashtray and ran his finger down the side of her cheek, "You naughty, little vixen."

Li Yilan smiled and rested her head into his chest, clearing her throat before she slowly said, "President Lin, I would go again but. . ."

Her voice died down, causing Lin Qiwei to raise one eyebrow, "But what?"

"Ah, today hasn't been going very well. Never mind."

This aroused Lin Qiwei's curiosity, as he tilted his head slightly, "Tell me. What happened?"

Li Yilan sighed as she bit her lips for several seconds before slowly saying, "I have a sister. . . She was adopted at a young age though, so we didn't grow up together. She doesn't seem to like me very much. We go to the same college, and she always treats me badly, and -"

She stopped, lowering her head pitifully.

"Continue."

"There was this beauty competition and I was going to win. . . But, she seemed to have hired some people or bribed people to vote for her, and she stole the title away from me! I worked so hard for it."

Lin Qiwei furrowed his eyebrows together, obviously upset that his hook-up was being treated this way, "What is her name?"

Li Yilan's eyes flashed slightly in the darkness as she slowly said, "An Luxia."

Lin Qiwei grinned softly and patted Li Yilan's head like petting a dog, "Don't worry about it. I will punish her for you."

Li Yilan smiled faintly in the darkness and turned around with a smile, "Thank you, President Lin."

"Now that you are happy, let's go again."

After the competition, An Luxia returned to school and several heads turned her way. Basically everyone new and old in the school now knew about her. 

To be honest, she did not really enjoy all this attention, but she was used to it now after winning every single round.

She smiled politely at everyone as she entered her first class. When she walked in, she saw that Li Yilan was seated in the first row. 

Many people turned around to look at her as she walked down the steps, and many people murmured amongst themselves, some even taking pictures.

After all, she was the "beauty queen" of the school.

Li Yilan also turned around and saw An Luxia, who gave her a smile. She clenched her fists together, but upon remembering the promise President Lin gave to her from last night, a smile returned to her face as she glared at An Luxia and turned back around.

An Luxia was slightly surprised that Li Yilan wasn't mad about not winning and didn't cause a commotion, and she sat down in her spot, placing her bag in the chair next to her for Yu Xinyi.

The day went by quickly, and after the last class, An Luxia quickly left and made her way to the back of the school.

On the way, she bumped into Li Yilan making a phone call with a smile.

She tried to walk straight past her, but before she was able to even get three steps away, Li Yilan turned around and called, "Sister!"
