2024-10-29 19:42:56After staying in the bathroom crying and feeling much better Cadeau retouched her makeup and walked out the door.
precipitously a girl of Cadeau's age in a baby pink soft evening gown stood in front of her with carriage and dignity of an iceberg. Her thin, sharp features never showing the slightest emotion.
Cadeau fidgeted, "what do you want Ōjo."
The girl looked down her nose at Cadeau.
"Look who we have here the one and only Barbie or should I call you Mrs Lijie?" She coldly spoke, not backing down.Cadeau looked on the side, avoiding any eye contact. She knew that old sarcasm way to much to be intimidated.
The girls head thrust forward like a weapon. "Let me tell you something fake-princess," she inched forward. "In life they're people who'll always hate you, the way you breath, the way you talk, how you laugh, or even just so because it's you. And I happen to be those people."

Gift Of the Heart To Lijie and Cadeau (15)
-After a long moment of introductions and praises Cadeau was finally alone.She quickly walked past her mother pretending she didn't see her and went to look for Natasha. They never kept secrets from each other and so the least she thought Tasha deserved was to know what was happening. But Tasha was nowhere in sight, Cadeau turned every leaf then she saw Akarui talking to someone and an idea struck .However before she could tap him on the shoulders, she espied Akarui pulling he's father by the neck.She couldn't see Akarui's face but she could feel he's white knuckles from clenching he's fists too hard."I've understood Dad," she heard Akarui root he's jaw."And you better keep your word cause what I'll do to you will be suicidal I mean it," the anger in Akarui's tightened back showed no remorse like a cramp and quiet rage building inside. But it's like he sensed her cause immediately he relaxed and with a hoaxed smile he turned,

Jhene walked in with a prescription from the doctor and handed it to Natasha. "She's perfectly fine and has been discharged. But in case of any headaches or further nosebleed he has prescribed some medicines," she walked to the bedside and sat on the chair. ""Guess it's just you and these lonely walls," Cadeau told herself and stood to leave at the same time Akarui walked through the door.The box in Akarui's hands immediately fell from fright like someone crushed in to him.He squinted he's eyes to the light coming through the staircase and couldn't believe he's eyes. He fidgeted, feeling at a loss of words.He looked at Cadeau and looked at the wall clock.It was five past the hour four in the morning. Had Cadeau been crying all this time, he wondered.Cadeau stood motionless.A normal person would have run but Akarui could hardly force himself to walk. He inched he's way to her, foot by foot, scared that she mi

* * *Cadeau opened her eyes and squinted in the sunshine coming through the blinds. She stretched, feeling more tired than she had since.She sat up and looked at the vase of freshly cut flowers placed near the window and smirked.So he had been to her room after all. She flipped the overs back and stood, She slipped her feet into the fluffy house shoes next to her bed, God knows who they belonged to, and snatched the robe on the chair.She stepped toward the window and slid it up, she sent the vase of flowers flying down and pressed back for the curtains then walked to the door and stepped out.It was four past eleven in the morning, she looked at the wall clock ticking.The sent of strong coffee and bacon hit her nostrils, but not enough for her disappeared appetite either way, she followed the trail stopping at apex of the stairs.Her stomach rolled remembering Akarui's fist in the dust.He must have been hurt sh

Akarui sat back and forth in he's office chair, eagerness crippled him as the time arrived for doctor Qiang to video call him.He stared at he's arm on he's Rolex wrist watch it was exactly twenty eight minutes past the hour nine. Two more minutes he told himself.He never got nervous. But after sending the man a thousand emails explaining he's situation with Cadeau and her behavior starting from the night of the ceremony. He feared the worst.He'd read enough about him to know he was forty, two children, silent millionaire, and most of all, a professional physiatrist and psychologist, with a diploma in therapy.He had hoped the doctor requested for a one on one meeting, but doctor Qiang insisted he video calls him for their first encounter.Akarui connected he's laptop and showed he's face, as the waved."Good morning doctor," he smiled, "Such an honor to be in your greatness,"" the pleasure is all m

* *The following morningAkarui pulled out he's phone and typed a few messages. The piercing strength of the sun coming through the glass wall of he's office hit him like a fool he felt.He leaned back in he's chair, he's stomach tightening in anticipation of being late, throwing up the whole evening and above all, missing the early meeting with the investors.He had been folly enough to believe those energy drinks were anything good, but sleep in disguise.And to think that he had been taking them for a while made everything seem blur.He leaped forward and waited for a few seconds before reconnecting again to the server.Shortly, Amanda Lijie's supposedly wife appeared with a baby in her arms.He pressed for the loud speaker button as he spoke."How's the mother of the year and the little Champ doing?" he waved gawping.Even though Lijie had lied to him about the baby's delivery date, Akarui could

Five minutes Akarui walked back with the serving cart. He trotted to the closet and pulled out a bedsheet and spread it on the floor at the center of the room. He reached for the tray and offloaded, the plates first, the soup, wine glasses already filled, and then the two bowls of vegetable rice and chicken kadai, her favorite.Just then, Cadeau came out with her robe and attitude tied up like she was going for jitsu classes. She approached Akarui and stopped right in front of the cloth, their gaze locked.She fell to her knees, and sulked. "Let's get this done over with," She pulled a pillow.Akarui's eyes fell to the length of her clivage the moist of her pale skin, the rise and fall of her tiny breasts as she breathed, he's just mind ran wild.She grabbed the bowl of rice. She was too close, Akarui's heart was pounding too hard. This was a bad idea, he shouldn't have done this. He shrugged.Akarui took a deep breath and tr

"WANG LEI'S SWEETHEART ESCAPE PRESS!"The headline on the front page of Beijing Times newspaper read.Cadeau flang it across the table, downturning her mouth. Below was a stream of pictures, administ photographs of Akarui scoping her up, heading to the car, him wiping her face, and her landing on the ground.Cadeau felt sick."These people don't have anything to do, do they?" she glanced at Fei Hong pouring her tea.Who just shook her head in response.If she needed a real escape then she would have killed herself and left, Akarui ASAP. He was boiling her blood lately and she didn't like it.What would Lijie think if he saw this, if he hasn't already, a thought crossed her mind.The lure to trick Akarui had to become clear. That kiss wouldn't go unpunished, and actually she glanced at the time on her phone and gave him two minutes before he stormed out.Just then, as if thinking about him had conjured he's footstep

By the beginning of the new week, Akarui felt like he couldn't take take it anymore. He either sneaked out in the morning, to avoid Cadeau, or use the elevator to go and sleep on the second floor every night.He sat in Dr. Qiang's chair, taping he's foot impatiently as he listened."I told you to keep away from her but, the first thing you decide to do is disobey. How sick!" Dr. Qiang waved he's hand in agitation.Akarui stood up, frustrated, and walked to the wall. "I tried okay, but she's been banging me against a hard place. It's irritating." He moved closer to the desk and pressed he's hands, facing him. "Are you even aware that I nolonger have breakfast in my own home just to avoid her,?" he turned around and looked at the pictures on the wall. "This past week she's been forcing me to sit and watch her eat, and, if am late she secures the security lock, and I have to sleep outside, actually," he shoved he's hands in the pocket. "On Wednesday

* * *Meanwhile, Akarui flicked the Jeep's headlights and continued down the road. It was getting dark, and by the time he would get back to the apartment, Cadeau would be asleep.Still focused and determined to set things right between him, Cadeau and his ex-fiance Endian Cheng, or rather his current fiance cause given the circumstances he hadn't had got the time to break up with her.The two had set to marry on the same day as Lijie and Cadeau's wedding, but a month before Endian Cheng received news that her father was found with cancer and was in a critical condition, hence she had to fly out to attend to him.Akarui glanced towards the box lying on the seat beside him, it was a welcome gift to cheer Endian Cheng up, and then break the ice on her head to her say he had gotten married to Cadeau instead.He took a slow breath, remembering their conversation as they sat watching a serie

It was almost eleven fifteen as Cadeau sat there, her foot tapping slowly as she sank in the wooden dinning chair the following morning. The coffee was going cold next to the beacon and bread set out on the table, the fire was crackling softly, Fei Hong was in the kitchen, and for the first time she felt blank.She kept on replaying the images from the previous night, and wondered if Akarui was really trying to win her heart or he was trying to get her in his bed? All over sudden he was attentive and caring, when days before he was rude and didn't care, he even tried to kiss her by force. But again, she could not overlook the fact that he apologized for everything and wanted to restart things over.The voice at the back kept saying he was still Lijie's friend, what if he also woke up one day and decided he was nolonger in love with her, what would happen then. She lifted the cup and set it back down. "Fei Hong?" she called out, "can you please bring me an

"Yeah, sure," Cadeau found herself responding.Akarui opened the door to the rooftop, he poked his head first and led her out."Wow, did you ask them to do all this?" Cadeau asked, taking slow steps next to him."Mmh not really per say," he responded with a crooked smile.Though she could clearly see he did. the place was fairly bright with ferry lights dancing around the tent house shielding from the cold to form a huge sleeping pad like.The fire lighted at the center danced in flames creating a camp like glow that made everything seem romantic, and make Cadeau to start fantasizing about turning to Akarui and kissing him to passion stretching out on the floor beside him and making love in the shadows of the flames facing the spaced stars above.No. Cadeau shook her head. this was probably because Lijie's picture of making love to Amanda was stuck in her head and she couldn't get it out.Rather than sitting around t

"You know," Lijie began, smiling. "Mum was asking me what we were thinking to name the baby after me and Akarui," he bounced deliberately, to entertain the baby in his arms. "Dad did too," Amanda said grinning, she tossed her long hair carelessly and added, "but it was because I love the names, like they just rhymes in my mouth, Lijie Akarui_Hero light," As if in answer, the baby clapped his tiny hands and chortled in a giggle. Amanda kissed his forehead with a playful tone and curved her mouth slightly, "see he agrees, besides, I wanted him to have the best of both worlds. You and Akarui are amazing," she stepped near as his breath hitched in her throat. Her right arm went around his neck and drew him closer to whisper in his ear in a sexy tone, "this child is going to be the most spoiled brat they'll ever see cause he's got you and Akarui on his side."

She had purposely told Tasha to stay back for today so she could properly talk to Lijie with no disturbances.She fixed her dress and hair properly and hurried to the downstair cafe to grab two cups of hot chocolate one for her and one for Lijie. she walked to the elevator and before she could press it open a tall bold man with a handsome physic pressed it for her.She didn't pay attention and walked in and like he also knew where she was going, he pressed for the 5th floor and stepped back, not having seen Cadeau behind and trying to avoid her, he's foot foot suddenly connected with the kerb and stumbled back plunging everything he had in his hands on the ground."Am sorry," he quickly said and knelt down to pick them, then something caught
