*** Wuyue went mad. Her nails scratched my face. Her hair was disheveled. Her eyes were red.

"I will make him mine! I'll be the young miss of Xiong! He will attend to me...he will only serve me! I will make his lips utter only my name! Not yours! I will do everything I wanted to do to him! Even in bed..." She smiled evilly. Then she laughed. It looked like she was already living in her own world.

Her words disgusted me. Infuriated me.

No! Linfeng would never submit to her! He promised me...

"You're wrong...he will never be yours..." I said the words very hard.

She began to become mad again when the door opened. A tall figure appears.

"Really?" The man came towards us. I can't see his face clearly because the only light that serves us where the lights outside.

When he saw me in the disheveled state he looked amused.

"Wow, you are so hard on her, Wuyue. Don't hurt her too much, she's still my fiance."

Wuyue let me go and harrumph to the man.

"We have done our part. It is time to fulfill yours."

"Don't worry. I'll never go back to my words. " He smiled. Even I can't see there's a smile on his words.

Wuyue went out without glancing back at me.

When the door closed, the man turned on the lights.

Then I saw his face clearly.

He had a long reddish dark brown hair that was simply tied by a black garter. It reached on his chest. His eyes were unique because of their color: gold. He was more handsome than celebrities.

But that's not what caught my attention. I knew this man. I once saw him at my grandfather's funeral along with the unhealthy old man.

He introduced himself as my fiance.

Guan Gao Huan

When I first met him, I thought he was a gentleman since he was full of smiles and treated me with care at that time. But now, seeing his smile in this enclosed room shuddered me. His smile did not reach in his eyes. It was actually evil.

"Looks like you have a rough trip. Tsk. Tsk. Wuyue really went too much." He walked nearer towards me and touched my bruised face.

His fingers brought shivers down my spine. With this distance, I could see how emotionless his eyes were.

"Where am I? Why did you kidnap me?" it took me all my courage to say that. I don't know why, but this man scared me.

Guan Gao Huan smiled again, it was his usual smile, however, I noticed how cold they were.

"You are in Guan mansion, in which mansion, I won't tell you. I did not kidnap you, but your dear cousin is. She just delivered you here in my mansion. "

"....what do you want?"

He smiled deeper.

"Many things. I want many things."

"....does it include me?" this man was hard to talk to.

"...actually not. But you are part that I need to get the thing I want. In other words, your cousin and uncle made a deal with me. Just treat as we are ahead of schedule-"

"No. I'll follow grandfather's will. It will not break. Send me home."

The man's eye became dark.

"Did you just interrupt me?"

I gulped. His tone was dark and heavy.

He stands up. He loosed his tie and walked towards the door.

"I'm an impatient man. If I lose my patience, you'll not gonna like it. Don't try to leave this mansion. I have ways to make you come back." And he was gone.

That was the second meeting of him. And the last 'pleasant' talk I had with him..... ***

'And that same man was standing in front of me..'

Guan Gao Huan took a step forward. His reddish dark brown hair only reached his neck. It was straight and silky. His thin brow aligned perfectly. His chiseled jaw was alluring. His tall and straight nose was arrogant seemingly looking down on people. However, his gentle smile and warm eyes contradicted it making him a prince that just come out from a fairy tale.

But Xiong Zhi knew better. That's a beast in sheep's clothing.

She could not help but shudder at his smile.

Another memory came to her...

*** It's been a month since I was staying in the Guan mansion. I healed my injuries first since the drug let me bedridden for two weeks. The scratch on my face and the bruised over my body also healed. I'm in a good condition to escape in this mansion.

However, my mind and heart yearned for Linfeng to come for me. Did he know I was missing for a month now? Is he looking for me? Did he miss me?

I am like a damsel in distress waiting for my prince to come and save me. Yet I know it was only in the book. But I trusted Linfeng. He would look for me. For sure he was looking for me.

That night, I used the window to escape. The whole mansion was guarded. But since it was night and since the guards thought I had no plan to escape since I had been obediently staying in this mansion for the past month, their guard was quite relaxed. I was about to reach the gate and in just one climb I'll be free.

However, it was all a dream. After spending hours climbing what waited for me outside were Gao Huan and his car. He was leisurely leaning on his car. He smiled, like his smile last time it was cold.

He opened the door and motioned me to enter and seat.

I was scared by his cold smile and since I was caught barehanded I had no choice but to comply.

Yes, since the last time we talked I was still scared of him. I don't know why. Probably because I can't read him. I was good at reading people and observing them. But this man was terrifying for me. Like he was keeping me as his pry that can be easily killed at any moment.

We rode silently until the car stopped in front of a banquet.

I don't know why we were here. I was still in my pajamas so there's no way we came here to attend. Until I saw an earth-shattering scene.

A black Maybach opened. One handsome man who I had not seen in a month came out of the car. He was dashing. I felt my heart skipped a beat.

He was here!

Linfeng! I'm here!

But before I could open the door and run towards Linfeng, Linfeng walked around the Maybach and opened the other side of the door.

Xiong Wuyue in her brilliant red dress came out. She hooked her snake-like arm to Linfeng's. And Linfeng smiled at her. They walked to the banquet far away from us.

My heart was frozen. My breath stopped. My mind was blank. I felt my world shattered before me.

A hand squeezed my heart that I can't breathe. My eyesight blurred. It was so.....painful.

Why.....

Why he was with Wuyue? Why he was not looking for me? Why...

Did he not promise me to never leave my side? Did he not say that he was loyal only to me? Why he was serving Wuyue?

Was it because Wuyue was now the young miss of Xiong?

Why...Linfeng. .?

I was waiting for you...

I'm doing my best to escape and come back to you...

Why.....

Did you already forget about me?

A lone tear came out from my eye. I quickly wipe it away.

My heart....hurt so much...

"See? Who are you coming back to? You are alone in that mansion. Now the 'hope' you keep waiting was on Xiong Wuyue's hand. You have nowhere to go back to. Even that person, is already under that girl. He becomes hers. You have no choice but to marry me early and gain your spot to Xiong Empire. " Guan Gao Huan said with a gentle smile.

But I'm not a fool. Those were promises that would not come true. I know that after marrying him, transferring my shares* to him, making Xiong Wuyue and Third Uncle De become the head of the Xiong Empire, I would suffer more. I would not let them get it easily. I know I had nothing right now to stop them. But delaying them would make me a little bit happier.

"As I said, I will marry you once I reached twenty-three," I said in a determined voice.

His face becomes dark. He leaned on me and whispered.

"I told you before I am impatient right?"

He said it menacingly that I flinched.

"I have ways you know. If I could not convinced that lawyer to bring our marriage early than scheduled then I can do everything to you to make you agree and talk to him. What do you think? I have so many ways.."

I flinched again. At the same time, I was relieved that Lawyer Lee was still loyal to my grandfather. In order for our marriage to succeed, we could only do it with the court as a witness and Mr. Lee as my lawyer who would handle the marriage contract. And Mr. Lee would follow grandfather's will that I'll marry when I turned twenty-three. At least it lifted the heaviness in my heart. I still have time.

"Don't celebrate yet. Have you forgotten that you just planned to escape? I'm not good with disobedient pets. You would face punishment as we come home."

I shuddered. And become mad.

"I'm not your pet. You have no right to punish me." I said each word hard.

He just smirked.

"You'll see."

And later, I slowly learned his true nature and he also slowly revealed to me his true colors. ***
