“What’s going on here?” Wei never thought she would see the day when she would be happy to hear tear Mr. Han’s voice, much less be in his arms. But at this moment, she was ecstatic. Tyler looked furrowed his brown as he stared at her, then he lifted his eyes to the man still standing at the door.
“Will one of you explain?”
“We’re sorry to disturb you, sir; my wife is just a little upset me.” The man said as he reached for her, but before the man could touch her, Tyler grabbed his hand.
“This is your wife?” He asked cooly.
“Yes, we’ve had a bit of a lover’s quarrel, but….” Tyler chuckled.
“Ms. Ru, so you have been chasing me these last couple of days while you’re married?” Wei frowned. When was she chasing him? Their meetings had either been accidental, or he initiated it. She had never chased him once.

Wei watched as Tyler opened his shirt and eased back in the chair. She decided she needed to marry him for her protection. She would marry him so she could face her father and sister with his strength and then she would divorce him quietly once her mother’s company was returned to her. All she needed to do was convince this man before her. She took a deep breath and stood and approached him slowly.“Stay back.” He held up his hand to keep his distance as he stumbled backward.“I am only trying to help.” She said as she stood before him.“I don’t need your help. You could be responsible for—you could be the one who did this?” He grumbled.“And why would I—?” Wei paused as a knock at the door interrupted them.“Room service.” A high-pitched voice.“Did you order something?” Wei asked him as the knocking persisted.“No, get rid of them.”Wei frowned as she was about to tell him not to order her around, but stopped. She needed him after all, so getting on his bad side wasn’t advisable. We
Wie Ru arrived at the Toa Tower as the text had instructed her to do, she felt her body shake with nerves as she stepped through the door and entered the lobby. She was at work when she received the text, a picture of her sister Hoo Ru bounded and gagged lying on the floor with simple instructions telling her where to be and that she should come alone. She ran over without hesitation because she was scared of what might happen to Hoo if she took too long. Hoo was the only family she had that still spoke to her. They had never been close, but Wei was always thankful every time she picked up the phone when she called to ask about their home and father, so if anything happened to her Wei would never forgive herself.Walking through the lobby she suddenly felt. strange, this hotel was a premier location only visited by the rich, why would criminals choose to take her sister to a location that was often visited by paparazzi and always in the news why wouldn't they chose a mo
"Chen," Wei thought as she looked on the scene, she stood frozen. Hoo looked up suddenly laughing, "You're finally here." She stated, walking over to Wei. "I wondered if you would come, I didn't know you cared so much for me. If it was you I would be at a bar celebrating, it would have been better if you hated me, you would still be living in blissful ignorance." Tears formed as her sister spoke. "Why?" she thought, they had never gotten along as children but after moving out to attend college Hoo had made an effort to keep in touch. Why was she here with Chen, what was that text message? Was it all for this? Wei dropped to the ground tears poured from her eyes. "Why Hoo?" Hoo scowled at her grabbing her head she bent down to her ear."I saw something I wanted and went after it, or rather him. Why should a bitch like you have everything!" Wei looked up at her sister in disbelief, how could she not she, how had she not know that her sister hate ran this deep.
Wei walked through the doors of the airport pulling her suitcase, it had been a month since she found Chen and Hoo together and a month since she had fled to country A.After catching them together, she thought she could handle it, but after Hoo sent her pictures of them, she had to leave. Luckily she had saved up all her vacation days for what would have been their honeymoon. She left without a word to country A, where she had buried her love for Chen, found reasons to smile again, fresh air and adventure. She did not want to return, but she knew she could not run away forever; she had to face them, "Wei!" She didn't think it would be so soon."Wei," she heard him say again. She turned around to Chen's angry eyes glaring at her, but they quickly softened once he saw her tears. "Don't cry, I'm not angry I was just worried about you, you stop answering your phone, and we couldn't find you for a month. I had to bribe some airport officials to find out you had left the co
"Wei" Wei looked up from the cab to the face of her best friend, Xo An. She took one look at Wei teary eyes. "Who hurt you tell me right now, was it that asshole Chen, wait until I see him." Wei could not help but smile, she and Xo An had been friends since junior high school and she had always been her most faithful protector. "Calm down Xo, I just ran into him at the airport."He had the nerve to meet you at the airport, shameless bastard. He should find that slut you call a sister.""Xo!" Wei scolded, she could not bear to hear anyone speak ill of Hoo no matter what she did, and she was still her little no matter what she had done."Heh, she sleeps with your fiancé and you still have the face to defend her, no wonder she treats…" Wei hung her head in shame as she prepared herself for Xo harsh words.Xo sighed Wei had been through enough, scolding her would be too much, what she needed now was her support. Xo placed her hand on weighing sh
“A hotel?” Xo exclaimed, “Don’t tell me after you caught Chen and your sister you went to a bar, got drunk, met this hunky C.E.O, and did the deed."Xo...""Then you disappeared the next morning, but he had already fallen in love with you.""Xo""But alas, you had left the country, so he spent a month looking for until he finally found you here today. How romantic."Wei could feel a vein pop in her head. Finally, she grew tired and smacked Xo in the head. "What nonsense are you spouting?""Ouch," Zo exclaimed, retreating from Wei's grasp, she replied."Don't be mad because you did something so shameless; we have all been there; what I can't understand is why you would choose him?" She looked at the blond with disdain, but he only smirked before leaning to whisper. "I know you wish it was you
Wei looked awkwardly as Charles stood with his head down."Are you ok?'"Ha Ha Ha." Charles laughed; Wei looked at him confused."Secret... Vice President Gu, your boss had something he wanted to discuss with me about the Ru Corporation. Shall we go?" Charles stopped laughing, remembering the purpose he straightened u."Ok."Wei found the drive surprising pleasant; it was a little awkward at first, but Wei opened up on Architecture. Charles had pointed to a newly built building complementing its design. The very building Wei and Xo had worked on their first year at the company. She explained that her company worked on that project; she was there during the designs even though she was only fetching coffee. Wei had so much fun talking about her work; it took her a while to realize that Charles had stopped talking. Wei looked at the tall building that stood before her, "Han Corporation." She suddenly felt her chest tighten while her stomach felt unset
Mr. Han, is this a marriage proposal?""Wei Ru, don't think too much."Wei looked at the domineering man puzzled; why was he asking her about her qualifications as a wife if they weren't wedded."My grandfather has instructed me to marry you, a woman who I met only once who threw herself at me. So, I ask again, what qualifies you to be my wife." Wei stared at the angry man before and sighed. Grabbing her bag, she stood up to leave."The first time I met you was an accident, the second time was a coincidence, Mr. Han, I have no interest in you. If there is nothing else, I'll take my leave now." before she could finish, he sprung to his feet, his dominating figure standing before her."Wei Ru, don't test my patience; this marriage is not a choice; your father presented grandfather with the lotus seal.""What?!" Wei asked, surprised; she had been told about the lotus seal by her mother before she died. Wei's grandparents had prevented Han Corporation f

Wei took a deep breath as she entered the Elevator and quickly pressed the button for Hoo’s floor. She was nervous that Hoo would lose her child, so she wanted to get the medicine and return it quickly. Then she could go home and cry herself to sleep. She watched as the elevator doors shut before she stepped back and closed her eyes. But she quickly opened them when Chen’s smile popped into her mind. She still loved him and probably would always love him. But he betrayed her, and he was having a baby with her sister, no matter how her heart yearned for him. She knew he would never be hers again. Opening her eyes, she wiped the corner of her eyes that had watered as the elevator came to a stop. Hoo took a deep breath as the door opened, then stepped into the hallway. Without delay, she sprinted towards Hoo’s room. It was not the penthouse suite since that room had a standing reservation that Hoo could never get her hands on, no m
Wei sat in bar staring at her drink debating whether she should drown her sorrows or call it a night. After her talk with Chen she found herself feeling particularly lonely tonight and did not want to go home to an empty apartment, since Xi was visiting her parents. Wei picked this bar because she visited a few times after work with her Xi and some of their colleagues and she really liked the mature atmosphere of the bar. Taking a sip after finally deciding to comfort herself with some alcohol, she recoiled as the harsh taste hit tongue and as she swallowed, she felt a burning sensation at the back of throat which made her immediately want to toss the drink. ‘Drink it slowly’ her mind suddenly flashed to first time she had snuck liquor with Chen when she was 15. The memory of her first taste of alcohol and the hungover that followed used to make her smile. Now... she grabbed the glass again and took another swig of the bitter alcohol just for today she wanted to forget Chen and Hoo.
Wei.” Chen broke the silence first.Wei looked at Hoo who was smirking then at Chen whose face was grey and lifeless, she fought back her anger and her tears pushing passed the couple. “Excuse me.”“Wei.” Chen called grabbing her hand, Wei felt her body jolt in revulsion.“Let me go.” She shouted before running out the door.“Wei wait.” Chen replied as he turned to follow her.“Chen.” Hoo cried out grabbing her arm he glared at her, shook her arm off and chased Wei.“That bitch.” Hoo scowled as she watched Chen leave. She was always taking Chen’s attention, “tch I’ll have to teach her a lesson.” She smirked wickedly before sauntering in the house. Chen watched Wei play with Dylan his 2 year old, she was painting a picture of him when but he kept moving so she tipped the paint brush on the edge of
She just flew to her feet when she saw her father figure; she steered at her fingers nervously, she dared not look up. Suddenly she felt arms wrapped around her as he pulled her in for a hug. Wei’s body tensed to his touch; he had not hugged her or held her in his arms since she was six; therefore, she did not know how to react and could feel nothing but discomfort as she wondered who this man was.“Wei, you’re home.” Her father shouted joyously, still squeezing her.“Let go of the child; you want to squeeze her to death.” Aunt Din shouted after seeing the discomfort in Wei's expression“Tch,” her father replied, finally releasing Wei from his grasp.“Don’t forget your pl...” he began but stopped as if he remembered something.“If there is nothing else, Madame Din, you can go first. I would like to talk to my daughter.”“Heh, daughter, wonder wh
Wei looked up at the house she had grown up in and sighed. This was the house she lost her parents, her mother in a car crash, and her father to indifference. This building held nothing but the pain of her past, all her lonely nights, being abused by her stepmother and ignored by her father. Her father, her mind flashed the image of the domineering Lang Ru. She hadn’t seen him in since she moved out five years ago, she had called him twice since then. The first time to invite him to her college graduation but he didn’t attend and the second time was last week she asked to meet. Hoo Ru was the only one she had kept in contact with, but now even that relationship was broken. A deep pain pierced her heart as the memories flood her mind. “No," she thought the past would not defeat her. She had to face them along with the man who lived within the walls. Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes to steel her nerves and walked up to the door knocking. After a moment, a se
Chen sat in the dark corner of Weichen bar which he owned and had name after him and Wei. It had been their favorite place to unwind after a long week at work, laughing and drinking with friends. The bar was designed by Wei he had bought it as a gift at graduation so she would have her first design job out of college. Now looking at it everything in the place reminded him of Wei, a painful reminder of what he had lost. Drinking a glass of liquor he cussed himself for his stupidity of being caught by Hoo Ru, and cursed again because it had been a week and no one could find her.“Boss.”“if you don’t have that fucking bitch then don’t come in.” Chen replied before downing the glass of brown liquor and requesting and another.“Chen" he heard a shaking female voice say, before she spoke again he sprang to his feet and grabbed Hoo Ru by her throat gripping it a bit too tight.“It seems the gods are kind to me tod
Wei looked up at the eyes that always held scorn when they were cast upon. “President Han I.”“Didn’t expect to see me here, how lucky I was to witness the real you. I ensure you will never enjoy being Mrs.Han.” and with that, he walked past her. Xo looked at her, but Wei just held her head down; no, don’t hold your head down, Xo thought. I never want to see you with your head down, anger churning, she shouted after Tyler Han.“The real hero? What do you know? You pom..”Wei grabbed Xo's arm and shook her head.“He’s a client here; we can’t cause trouble.”“I don’t care; he can’t treat you like dirt, I’ll.”“Xo! We need this job.” Xo sighed. She knew Wei was right. This was the top architectural firm in the country. Getting fired would ensure they never work in the industry again. Sighing, Xo released her anger,"ok, Wei,
