WARNING! THIS CHAPTER TALKS ABOUT EATING DISORDER AND LOW SELF ESTEEMED. BACK TO PRESENT: The next day's competition was performance. It could be anywhere from stage performances to dance performances. Bruce and Yolanda chooses to do ballet dancing. After Bruce and Yolanda's dance, the judges felt that their performance fell short, and they came in third place. Their Feng University was tied neck to neck with Guo University. "Damn it," said Bruce. "If only I landed that last pose," said Yolanda. "It's okay you did your best,” said Bruce, loosening the button on his blazer. Yolanda nodded. "Next performance is Belle Li. She's coming in with a traditional Chinese clothing with the lute," said the announcer. Belle walked in with a white, golden, and red dress. She was beautiful. She held onto the lute as she got on stage. "Wow!" exclaimed the crowd. "No wonder they say she's the school's beauty," said Ethan. “Whoo! You’re beautiful!” exclaimed Lucy. “Go Belle!” Bruce gaspe
Bruce's eyes followed Belle. He saw that she went backstage in the far back. He followed her into the changing room. As Belle walked into the changing room, she felt someone's grab her arm and push her into the room. "Ahh," screamed Belle. Bruce's hand went to cover her mouth. "Shh. It's just me,” he whispers. Belle's eyes widened as it's Bruce. “Why did he follow her?” she thought. She pushed him away from him.Bruce smirked and slowly backed away from her. "What-What are you doing in here?" Belle looked at him in confusion. “He never once tried to follow her nor chase after her in their previous life. So, why is he now?” she questioned herself silently. Bruce grinned at her and chuckled softly as he put his hands in his pocket. "You look beautiful in those ancient Chinese clothes.""This is a woman's changing room.""So?"Bruce walked back closer to her. "What are you doing?"Bruce lips curled and he pinned her to the wall. "I think, I want to kiss you." His hands came around
WARNING! THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS PHYSICAL ABUSE & ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION! The next night the Feng University was hosting a celebration party for the completion of the competition. Bruce, Wayne, and Yolanda went to a bar before the party. Bruce was in a rather sour mood that evening. Wayne noticing Bruce’s change in attitude asked, “What’s wrong?” “Nothing,” answered Bruce, downing his cup of liquor. "Bruce is your grandmother upset?" asked Wayne. Bruce took Wayne’s cup of wine and sipped it. FLASHBACK The door slammed with a thud. "How could you tie with that wench!" shouted Bruce's grandmother. Bruce’s grandmother was a woman in her late sixties. Bruce's grandmother was firm, serious, and stern woman. She was a slim and skinny woman with wrinkles that ages her beyond her years. She had grey hair that was wrapped in a neat bun. "At least we still won the competition," said Bruce. "Humph! Useless. You should have come out on top!" Bruce clenched his fists tightly together. "
"What are you doing here?" asked Belle. "Because I need to study.""Huh?""What? I can't study?”Belle looked at him and said, “Of course you can.”Bruce scoffed and put his bag on the desk. Bella frowned. Since it's only studying it should be fine. She nodded at him. Bruce took the seat next to her. He looked at what she was studying. He saw that she was looking in some pages of finances. She had some red markings on her book. He wonders if she have questions about it or is she marking it as something meaningful. He clears his throat. "What?" asked Belle."Nothing."He then saw her flipped more pages and there were sticky notes on the sides. On it was written, "Clarification.""It means that the stock market isn't doing well as a whole," said Bruce."What?" Bruce leaned into her and pointed to her sticky notes. "Here. It means that you shouldn't believe a stock when it could just be pushed up by hype news, or media.""Oh," said Bella. She took off the sticky note from her book.
Bruce looked at her as he saw her scribbling down some numbers. "Wow," he thought. "this turned out easier than he thought. She is actually writing out her grandfather's secret formula without him even trying to seduce her." When Belle was done, she handed it back to him. "There."Bruce looked at it with a smile on his face. As he looked at it his eyebrows frowned. He started to be angry. Was she trying to make a fool out of him. Did she think he was stupid that he didn't try these all these formula on his own? She wasn't trying to give him the secret formula, she was trying to do the same thing he was. Manipulating the formula. He chuckled with annoyance. He rubbed his forehead with his hand. "What is it?""Your formula doesn't work.""What?" asked Belle.He smashed his binder onto the desk. Belle gasped at his anger. Then Bruce turned to look at her with a curling smile. He was trying hard to hide his anger. He was doing rather well with that handsome look of his. "Good try, but
FLASHBACK Bruce went back to his home. He opened the door and was slowly sneaking back inside. "So, you're back?" asked Bruce's grandmother, sitting in the corner of the room. Bruce didn't answer. He went to his room. He was shuffling things around and when he came out, he was in different clothes. He also had his backpack on. His grandmother frowned. "Where are you going at this late of an hour with that bag?" "Working,” said Bruce. "Oh,” chuckled his grandmother. "Now, if you will excuse me, I got to some persuading to do." "Bruce?" asked Bruce's grandmother, looking at him with coldness in her eyes. Bruce sighs and asked, “What?” "Just because she help won the university's competition doesn't mean anything." His grandmother puffed out a smoke of cigarette from her thin and wrinkled lips. "It means a lot. It means she's not a fool,” said Bruce, not looking at her. "What do you mean?" "She's a lot smarter than she looks." "Oh. So, you're saying that she's smart, talen
WARNING! PLEASE READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRECTION! THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS KIDNAPPING.PRESENT"I came as you say, where is Lucy?" asked Belle. She was wearing a fluffy long white dress that had a slit between her right thighs. Exposing her long legs. Her dress was off the shoulder and her cleavage was big and round. Her long black hair was floating behind her. Her big blue eyes was shimmering beautifully with her thick volumized lashes. Her lips were stained with red lipstick. Her every curve of her sexy body was outline by her tightly white dress. She was drop dead gorgeous.Bruce smirks as he observes her. She was rather attractive that night. He put out his cigarette and grabbed his cane. He walked to her.Belle frowned as to why he's limping. He's using a brown cane with a wolf carved on top of it. As the moonlight touched his face, she could see his dashing face. The all-powerful Bruce Wang with his jet black hair, and brown eyes looked yearningly at her. The outline of his jaw muscle

No!" screamed Belle. She was trying to run out of the room, but Bruce blocked her way. He was so much bigger, taller, and stronger than her. She couldn't sidestep him to get any clearing out the door.Bruce pushed her back into the room.Belle fell onto the floor.He waved his hands and his two bodyguards left. They could both hear the door to the house slamming shut.Bruce looked at her with a smile on his face. He locked the door behind him.Belle got up and backed away from him. She turned around and looked at the room. She became frightened. The darken room and the surroundings made her nervous. She tried to run but her stockings was slippery against the soft woven carpet. She slipped backward but she didn’t hit the floor. Her back hit a hard rock body. She gasped and looked behind her. I
“OH! Adam!” she gasped. “It’s beautiful!”Bruce was heaving heavily on the inside. She didn’t give him that same expression when he showed her his gift. But yet she gladly express her joy with another man. How cruel she is to him.Adam giddily said, “I’m glad you like it.”“Oh,” gaped Belle. “Thank you, Adam.”Adam took the jewel and placed it around Belle’s neck.Bruce was near erupting at the sight of another man touching her. The crowd was “oh” and “ah”. He was boiling with anger. These two lovely couples is making him want to murder someone.The crowd was clapping loudly as Adam finished clasping the necklace on Belle.Slow deep breaths Bruce took to ease his temper. I will get her on her own. Then I will show her my expression. The betrayal. The party went on and it got warm really quickly. Belle stepped aside and went out to the patio. She breathed in the fresh air that she missed in her last lifetime. Her eyes gazed at the stars that so faintly shines in the sky. She was so
PRESENTBruce took out a small gold necklace from his stash of collection. It had a pendant of a red ruby hooked on it. It symbolized his love for her. He clutched it tightly. He looked at Belle, who was sleeping next to him. He placed it around her neck. “There, right where it belonged.”Belle looked beautiful in that necklace he bought her many years ago.PASTBruce looked at the necklace from behind the glass case. It was a jewelry like none others. With a swift decision he purchased the priceless gem. With all of his life saving, he didn’t regret one moment of it. For he believed it was a gift worth giving. A beautiful jewelry for the world’s most beautiful woman. And tonight, he was going to give it to her. It’s her eighteen birthday.DING!Belle looked at her cell phone. It was a text message from Bruce. She opened it and it said, “Come meet me, Bruce.” She wonders what it was all about for he is texting her awfully early in the morning.“Who is it?” asked Lucy, trying to peek a
A few days went by, and Belle went to see Bruce.Bruce looked like he hadn’t slept for days.“What’s going on?” she asked.“What?” he asked her nearly awake. He was so exhausted and so frustrated. He has been stuck at his analysis for the past two days. He haven’t budge at all. The small numbers she gave him got him one fourth of the way. Since he’s been bombarded, he’s been going backward instead of forward.She leaned over him, her breasts slightly brushing his shoulders.Bruce could feel her softness but decided to ignore it. He was too fluster to even think about sex right now.She snickered on the inside. I kind of figure you be stuck by now. I had to wait a few days to let you struggle. So, this way you know how valuable I am to completing your dreams. Revenge. Whose getting who now? Bruce sighs as he had to let her help. He was in need of assistance. He was falling behind schedule. “Hmm,” hummed Belle.Bruce snorted. Just as he thought. She could not figure it out like he
Belle remembered all the equations and formulas he used. Not one that she had forgotten. One morning, she was going into his office to give him coffee, but he wasn’t there. His computer screen was left open, so she took a peek at it. There she saw everything that she needed to know about his success. Having a photographic memory came in handy as she was able to memorize it all. It was easy. The methods was similar to his grandfather. Complex with exact measurement, and if one understands it, their mind will open to the endless possibilities. With both of them formulas side by side, success came easy. That’s how he did it in the previous life.Bruce waited as she was contemplating. He wanted to stay focused, but he couldn’t help but being distracted. His mind was drifting on to the beautiful hot lady in front of him. The tightness of her clothes was just making him think all sorts of dirty thoughts. He stroked his chin as he liked her hanging bosoms. Damn, if that bra comes off, I’m su
"Where are you?" came a text.Belle looked at her phone. It was him. He was texting her. "In my dorm," she replied back. "You were supposed to meet me.""I never agreed to that.""You said "fine" when we last talk.""That was saying fine to you communicating with me. Not about meeting up with you.""Should I come upstairs?""What?" gasped Belle. She looked outside her window and didn't see anyone. "You liar. I thought you were downstairs," she texted back. "I could be." She frowned. What does this man want."Want me to come get you?" came back the text."No," she texted back. Belle have to be careful. She doesn't want anyone to see them together. If she's seen, then people would think they're dating. She doesn't want that. She would have to find a way for them to meet without anyone seeing them. "But I want to meet you. I want you to meet me," he texted again. Belle was starting to panic. If he comes then people will start talking, then her grandfather will know. Her grandfather
Bruce smiled at her. Then Bruce did something she didn't expect. He kissed her. "Mmmph!" Belle was trying to push him off of her, but he wouldn't budge. Bruce was kissing her with anger. She turned her head from side to side. But he followed her every movement. He kissed her till they both ran out of breath."Some talking we did too," he panted against her lips. Belle gasped. "Umm. Ehh. Let go of me.""No. Because you're not understanding me.""Understand what?""I don't want you to be like them?""Huh?""Blaming me for what happened.""What?" gasped Belle. "I said no such thing." "Sure, you just made it sound like I'm the bad boy of the campus who pays his way through school by sleeping with woman.""Hey! You-You!" Belle puffed up her cheeks.Bruce couldn't help but chuckle at her. "Tsk. Leave me alone." "Not until you say the magic words.""Okay. Okay. I'm sorry. It was them who wanted you.""Yes. And?" "You were innocent. They were horny, wanted sex, and you gave it to them.
"What?""Please."Not wanting to cause a scene she sat back down. Soon all the students from the room left the room. He looked at her with his cold gaze. How she was used to that look of his. In the past he never had a different expression but that stone silence of his. While other women he would laugh and smile. How she used to crave that from him, but now she's too broken to even care."Have you been avoiding me because of what your friend said about me?""What?""About my past.""What about it?""You're saying you don't care.""Who you're with or have sex with is none of my business." "Really?""Really.""Oh." Bruce fidget with his pencil. "Then what is it?""What's what?""Why are you keeping a distance from me.""I'm not. I just don't want people to get the wrong idea if they see us together.""Like?" "Like we're dating."Bruce leaned into her. "So?""I mean it wouldn't be good.""Why is that?" Bruce tilted at her. "Well, you're the notorious playboy. And I'm the miss goodie
BACK TO THE PAST (REFER BACK TO CHAPTER 21) That morning when Bruce returned back to the Wang's mansion, he happened to meet his grandmother."Well?" She sneered at him. "How did it go?"Bruce put down his backpack and sat down on the sofa. He explained to her what happened.Bruce's grandmother threw her glass of champagne towards the wall, and it shattered into pieces.Bruce frowned at her. "You need to get that formula!""I know," said Bruce, getting up from the sofa."Then why didn't you sleep with her?""Trust me, sleeping with her will be no problem.""Then why didn't you? It's early morning, I thought you be done by now.""I got interrupted.""That's not an excuse."He turned to look at her. She sneered at him. "Don't be tricked by her beautiful looks."Bruce looked at her with seriousness in his eyes."Bruce," said Bruce's grandmother blowing out more smoke. "What?" questioned Bruce. "You need to get that secret formula.""I'm trying.""Are you?"Bruce frowned again at her
BACK TO THE PRESENTIt's been nearly a week since she seen Bruce. She was glad he was gone because she didn't want to see him. For the days that he was gone she kept herself busy. She was cooking, cleaning, or washing the dishes. There were some books that piqued her interest. She read them and kept herself busy. When there was no more books for her to read, she would turn on the tv. She was watching television with over five thousand channels. She was surprised that he allowed her to access such wide range of shows. But she didn't care as long as there was something to keep her entertained. Although she didn't have any access to computer, phone, or tablets to the internet she didn't mind. In time Bruce will let down his guard, and she will get out of there. When she awoke, she felt someone by her feet. She gasped as she saw who was sitting next to him. "Are you awake?" asked Bruce. Startled Belle woke up and scooted away from him. "What are you doing?""Staring at my beautiful wi
