"Mi...miss Anna?"
Everyone's attention was on the duo that just walked in,
The man was carrying the girl in his arms and her hands were wrapped around his neck
Both their clothes were wet and made them look like they just finished shooting a movie scene.
"Uh..." Su Chen's mouth was agape. Dylan who normally hit the women that dares to touch him actually had a woman in his arms!, and it looked like he was carrying her willingly.
“Do you think she’s making him carry her against his will?” Su Chen says to his brother in a low voice that only the both of them could hear.
Li Chen glares at his brother “If it was against his will, do you think the Dylan we know would do it?”
As if oblivious to their stares, Dylan looks down at the girl in his arms, she was already shivering, Anna was shivering under his gaze…his eyes…
"Where is your room?" His deep voice brought her out of her thoughts, she blushed when she realized she had been star
After a lot of struggle, Anna finally made it to her bed, both her and Janet were panting from exhaustion"Mi...Anna, we need to get you a new wheel chair"Anna nodded, her previous wheel chair was given to her by her father, apart from the black card she had, that was the only gift he had ever given her.It was custom made, it took at least a month to make the last one and to be honest, she really didn't want to ask her father for anything right now.BANG!The door flung open, Clara walked in angrily and walked towards Anna's bed.Anna took a deep breath, waiting for her unreasonable scolding."How dare you try to seduce the general's most trusted man, you really are like your mother, seducing men you shouldn't have"Anna fought the urge to roll her eyes, yes her mother was a mistress but her mother was also her father's first love, at least that was what her mother told her but then 'someone' got married to him, it was just a
"Anna?""Hmm?" Anna answered half hearted completely focused on what she was doing"Are you sure we should be doing this?, madam Clara will be here any minute""Yes!" After successfully picking the lock to Clara's safe, Anna finally looked at the nervous girl"You don't have to worry, I'm only taking what's mine anyways" Anna said with a smile as she took the letter with her name on it.They quickly left the room, after making sure they weren't seen by anyone Xiao Janet breathed a sigh of relief."That was a close call Anna, but where did you learn to pick locks?, this is pretty surprising!"Anna smiled, of course she knew it was!, her mother had warned her not to show off any of her abilities in front of the family, she had been the top student back in the village and she had a very skilled master who taught her almost everything she knew.Her mother told her that her sisters might consider her competition and her life will be in danger.Although she hid
Anna couldn't sleep that night, she kept thinking about what Dylan's answer would be.If he says no, then it means that her father will eventually take her away.When morning came, she went down for breakfast as planned.For the first time in a long time she was sitting in the same room with Clara and Lilly.Looking at Rose who was quiet by their side, she couldn't help but feel immense gratitude towards her. When Dylan sat close to her, her eyes didn't leave his face, she was nervous, scared and also excited."How long do plan on staring at Dylan?" Su Chen teased as he poked Anna's shoulder, they had grown quite close to each other in the past 2days.Anna found out that they both had a lot in common even in life experiences, he was now considered her good friend."I...I wasn't staring" Anna denied as she stared at her plate, she didn't know how to face Bai Sheng now.Lily stared daggers at her, after realizing that she was in fact interested in Bai She
"Ahhh" Anna sighed as she stared at the sunrise, her excitement made her stay up all night.She took a bath before she headed downstairs for breakfast, seeing Dylan sitting there with his usual cold expression, her heart skipped a beat."Good morning pretty Anna" Su Chen said as he flashed his most charming smile, Anna stared at him indifferently and nodded.Clara was angry, digging her fingers in her palm to steady her emotions.She had to find a way to stop this girl from going or else things might not end well Mr Lu finds out but deep down she knew that it was no longer possible"So at what time are you guys planning to leave tomorrow? " Rose asked but soon received glares from both her mother and sister"We will be leaving really early, Father will send his helicopter to get us" Li Chen said, his eyes subconsciously wandered over to Anna's excited face, a warm smile appeared on his face as he stared at her.He still didn't know wh
"You should be more confident and you should be mentally prepared for everything because I can't assure you that everyone will be fond of you"Anna nodded, she wasn't expecting life there to be easy anyways. She was ready to break through her limits."Everything there is about strength , so you have to be stronger and better than anyone else there....you have potential, don't worry"Anna smiled at him "Thank you Dylan"Dylan nodded, after dropping her off in her room, he said a few encouraging words before he turned around to leave."We have a long long journey ahead of us tomorrow so, sleep early"After saying this, he left the room.Anna stared at his back and a smile appeared on her face again, she was more confident now...she was sure she could pull through."Anna!" Rose whispered as she got into the room and closed the door behind her."Rose?, why are you here?"Rose looked extremely nervous, she was sweating
Because of his sudden change of expression Anna was momentarily dazed."Lets go Little sis" Su Chen said as he carried her in his arms, Anna wanted to complain but he soon cut her off"Would you prefer to jump out?" he joked."Nope" Anna said as she wrapped her hands around his neck.Meanwhile a certain someone was staring daggers at his brother, Li Chen felt their actions were too intimate, and he hated the way Anna smiled at Su Chen, she had never smiled at him like that before."Ahh!, what am I thinking?" He ran his fingers through his hair frustratedHis voice was low but Dylan heard him, a slight smile appeared on his face as he got ready to tease his friend."Do you like Anna?" He whispered into his ear.Dylan had never seen Li Chen look at a woman the way he looked at Anna, it got him a bit excited, Li Chen hardly showed interest in anything.Li Chen got startled by his sudden question and quickly denied"No...No!, Never!"Li Chen said n
Both brothers sat in their rooms, Li Chen held his chin deep in thought while his brother hovered with a teasing smirk on his face, it was like he already knew why his brother was so deep in thought."Wow!" Su Chen exclaimed as he stared at his brother.Li Chen ignored him and continued to stare at the wall, he knew his brother was up to no good, he was probably about to say some stupid shit.Annoyed, Su Chen blocked his line of sight "Wow!" he said again waiting for his brother's answer.Li Chen rolled his eyes, what was he up to again?"What?" He asked coldly but it seemed to give his twin brother joy. Su Chen laughed heartily seeing as he was finally noticed."Wow! you actually yelled at Efya for Anna?"Li Chen got tensed and continued to take large strides away from his brother, Su Chen easily caught up to him "Tsk, you think you can run away from the truth" Su Chen teased as he poked his brother's shoulders"Do you.....like Anna?, I mean, e
Jason noticed the girl was hesitating and quickly said "You don't have to force yourself, tell me when you're ready"Anna nodded and sighed, she had felt that after telling Chesa it would make reminiscing it more easier for her but yet, she could feel her heart pound and her palms get sweaty…she just couldn’t open her lips and speak about it.Jason held one of her legs and examined it"Hmm, what wacky doctor told you that you can't walk again?"Anna smiled, he indeed a skilled doctor. He could actually see that her legs were okay just by staring."Lots of them" Anna said, she really hoped that she would be able to walk again soon, it could be much easier to find her mother. Being on the wheel chair was wondering her from doing lots of things…she couldn’t wait to be free from it."Well, to be honest, all you needed to do was exercise your legs back to health"Anna's jaw almost dropped "What?!, ex..exercise? "Which means she spent three years on a wheel chair
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
Su 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
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 into
Dylan's lips curled up staring at the girl. He was actually afraid that his family won't like her or vise versa. Now she seemed a bit attached to them....or was it the castle?"Would you like to live there after we get married?"Anna stared at Dylan with a smile before shaking her head "Its way to big for someone like me to live in"Dylan shook his head, he spent think a day would come when he would figure out what was going through that woman's mind.He sighed, she was really special while he...."Anna, Are you certain you want to marry me? I'm not the man you think I am....and I...""Are you scared of getting married to me? I'm not a monster you know..." Anna said pouting her lips.Dylan chuckled and decided to let it rest. They loved each other and that was all that mattered."Dylan?""Yes?"Anna sighed ''Can I see Lu Zhang?"Dylan focused his eyes on the road and didn't dare look at her."Why do you want
Chesa and Li Chen's wedding came not long after. Dylan decided to postpone meeting with his family till after the wedding.According to Chesa's request they had a white wedding in a very big hall. There were a lot of guests that day, filling the hall to the brim.Anna was the brides maid while both Dylan and Su Chen were still arguing over the best man spot.30 minutes to the wedding, both brothers were not dressed, still arguing making the groom get extremely frustrated."I'm his twin!""And I'm way more good looking, stronger....and also that suit will suit me best"Su Chen gasped, Dylan had hit his weak spot. His only challenge in life was sitting back and watching other girls ogle over Dylan when he is standing right there!"Will you guys just shut up!" Li Chen said slamming his hand on the table. They had been bickering for months now and today was the wedding. This is all his fault, he should have decided a long ti
"Are you serious?"Dylan nodded seriously. Anna blinked a few times before opening her lips again "Is....there a reason why you want me to go with you?" 'Please propose pleas propose...'"My father asked me to meet him, I don't want to go back there alone"Anna's expression softened, even though it wasn't what she wanted to hear....she saw a little boy asking her for a favor. Of course he wouldn't want to go there alone, after everything the family had done to him."Sure.....I'll go anywhere with you"Dylan smiled "After you're discharged"Anna nodded before pulling the man's arm, he ended up falling on top of her. Dylan wanted to get up immediately but the cunning girl had already wrapped her arms around his neck tightly, not letting go."Dylan?""Hmm?""Let's get married...."Dylan's eyes widened and he immediately tried to break free from her grip but she refused to let go."I'm serious, why are you trying to run away?"
"I agree that I might seem a little crazy....but it is only because no body understands me! No body understands Lu Zhang Zhang! Which is why....you will all have thesame ending as her!"Everyone could finally see it, the crazed look in the man's eyes. He looked savage, he looked like a monster."You really think you can bring me down that easily?" Anna struggled to say. She wasn't going to die like this....it would make all the sacrifices she made worthless, all the sacrifices others made for her worthless...No! Definitely not!Lu Zhang looked down at the pale faced girl on the floor and frowned "If you won't die this way then.....how do you want to?...don't tell me...." Lu Zhang gasped "You're waiting for someone to save you....." Before he could finish his words the door flung open with a loud crash.It was taken off its hinges. Stepping into the mansion, Dylan had a feeling of nostalgia. He inhaled deeply before his expression bec
"Did you put a tracking device in her phone?"Nathan shook his head "We never expected anything like this so, how was i to know?"Anna sighed "I understand you're frustrated and I am very sure this is all my fault. We just have to wait till he decides to contact us, until then.....I'm afraid we just have to sit and wait"Nathan paced around the room, he was impatient. He couldn't take a flight to china because there might be chance the man isn't even there."Just calm down...." Nina said patting her brother's shoulder.Anna's phone beeped which got everyone's attention."Who...Who is it from?"Anna silently stared at the screen, her grip on the phone tightened "Lu Zhang says he wants all of us....all of us to come over"The other three women couldn't help but shiver, which means he knew they were all together....what was he trying to achieve?"Ok....Where is he?, did he send an address? Anythi
"June is.....alive"The twins looked at Dylan with shock in their eyes. He said he forgot to tell them something important. Was this it?"What? That's impossible!" Su Chen said "I saw her die right in front of me, how the hell is she.....""I also...couldn't believe it at first, but she acted so nervous around me every time, trying to avoid me and wouldn't even look me in the eye.....its her""M..Maybe we should talk about this later, what i mean is....we shouldn't discuss something this important on an empty stomach" Li Chen said nervously, not only because he knew his brother's feelings for June but also, he called Anna and told her to come over. He planned to explain everything with his brother with him.Now that Dylan brought this up, there's a chance that she might hear.Both his brother's looked at him with confused expressions "None of us are hungry....we just ate" Su Chen said before turning his attention back to Dylan."I kno
