2024-10-29 19:42:56The sensation of hearing that soft dreamy voice and seeing this mesmerizing face was like crawling worms on my skin. My dictionary was too poor to describe the repulsion I felt when I faced that woman—all types of negative feelings mixed with each other behind my façade of benevolence. I smiled gracefully, acting as two-faced as possible. Not only could she be a hypocrite.
‘’Bianca, I’m surprised to see you here in China. Shouldn’t you stay in Italy in order to not disturb your cousin while he works?’’ My honey-laced voice wasn’t inferior to hers. However, there were thorns underneath, which she definitely felt. For a moment, her nearly perfect smile cracked, but she got a hold of herself quickly.
‘’Don’t worry, Luo, I never disturb him. In fact, he can’t bear to live without my presence.’’ She chuckled softly as

After yesterday’s gala, I finally got permission from the almighty emperor to come back home. It was only for a night, enough to pack my luggage and move to live with him. As someone who kept the given promises, I was efficient and fast. I spent a night organizing my stuff, and it was early morning when I finally finished. Thinking that I would catch up at least a few hours of sleep using the bright daylight, I prostrated myself on the bed. Alas, my hope was squashed. Someone almost smashed the door of my bedroom entering like an angry elephant.‘’I heard by the servants that you were so eager to live together with that b*stard that you spent the whole night packaging your things. Don’t you have some shame, Luo MacCarner?!’’ It took me a good few seconds to register the angry face of Yan Si, his accusing voice and the indignation rising in my chest. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, t

Realising that my wish to have some rest wouldn’t come true, I gave up my sleep and took a walk to the kitchen. Some maids would listen to every one of my whims if I told them what I desired, but I wanted to distract myself from my not so positive thoughts. I was almost there when the sound of the Han Wei’s falsetto voice reached my ears. I made a grimace from the unpleasant feeling she caused in me. Couldn’t this woman control her tone a little bit more?‘’Your daughter is no better than you, Genji. She betrayed the Yan family when she became an official girlfriend of that b*stard. Did you see the newspaper? She looks so contented in his embrace. Truly, the apple doesn’t fall away from the tree.’’‘’Watch your mouth and your business. Even if Luo really has feelings for him, you are not the one to criticise her decision.’’ What fo

After our conversation was over, I moved into the room where I woke up the last time when he kidnapped me. I had mixed feelings of being there, but I could bear with them. Then finally had some rest.For the next few days, nothing interesting happened except that Kang Xianliang proved his claim to be a tyrant. He forced me to have meals with him and took pictures for Weibo. According to his words, people should see how strong our feelings were. I agreed with his logic, but why should I be the one who did it? To this question, he said condescendingly it would be below his man's dignity. Only women spent so much time on social networks gossiping about other people’s lives and showing off with theirs. Hearing this incredible statement, I wasted a few seconds preparing contra argument but decided to keep quiet at the end. It would be a waste of my breath to try and pour some common sense in this man.

‘’Did I interrupt something?’’ I put on a knowing smile and watched how her face paled with horror. Badmouthing the boss’s woman wasn’t a good decision from the start, but the boss’s woman hearing you personally was even worse.‘’Good morning, Miss McCarner.’’ That was the other woman participating in the earlier conversation. I smiled politely at her without the ridicule I held for her colleague. She didn’t say anything bad about me and even was frankly surprised when she heard the gibberish the first one said. I had a good feeling for people like her.‘’Miss McCarner, since how long have you been listening?’’ I raised my brows at the impudent question of the first one. Not only she talked behind my back, but she also had the guts to question me like I was her subordinate.

After a few days of sleepless nights, I finally narrowed down my list of suspects. I focused on the parties involved in the construction project. Kang Enterprise as the landowner had a contract with a building contractor which was supposed to carry out and complete the work for the new neighbourhood. Everything was going fine until there was a shortage of materials. Kang Enterprise had to add the additional sum of money which they did after a request of the project manager. However, there came a problem.After checking the accounts of the company, I found out that indeed the money provided for the new materials were properly listed. However, the project manager somehow decided to buy lower grade materials even when he had money to buy the better ones. I had to hack his computer in order to find which ones he chose. Making sure I have proper proofs against him; I went to the office of Kang Xianliang. I found him having a video

The noisy club music thundered in my ears and made my heart beat faster. I was making my way through the crowd evading the dancing bodies of women and men. However, no matter how careful I was, there were still people who acted bolder than they could afford. I was just passing by a random male when he caught my wrist and pulled me towards his chest. The smell of whiskey hit me right in the face not long after. Wrinkling my nose in displeasure, I did my best to break free from his grip. Unfortunately for me, he didn’t get my hint that I wasn’t interested in him.‘’Hello, what is a sexy chick like you doing alone?’’ His flirtatious voice was next to my ear. The music was so loud that people normally had no choice but to get close to each other when they wanted to speak. However, this fel

The morning air was crisp and fresh. The sun was shining brightly, and its warmth gently caressed my skin. I was lying on the concrete next to the pool in the yard of Leonardo’s two-story house. My eyes were closed, and I was exuding an air of tranquillity. Or at least I hoped my pretense was believable enough for the security guard whose eyes were glaring at me with murderous intent. I wish I could sigh, but that would give me away. Honestly, at this point, the constant threats to my life felt like an annoying chore I had to constantly deal with. A normal person would be scared, constantly on edge, looking behind their back to make sure there isn’t a crazy personal hitman or a mentally unstable woman trying to end them, but maybe because I died once, I became a bit indifferent. Or maybe my indifference was a result of me going cuckoo. Whichever one it was, I was too lazy to give a sh*t.The security guard looked around for the fifth time during the last ten minutes.

Trigger warning, panic attack, suicide, ptsd 1 month later, Valetta, Malta I raised my hands wrapped in boxing gloves and tried to relax my shoulders. They shouldn’t be stiff or too high. That would make my belly vulnerable. I put my right leg forward and crouched a little just enough to easy to avoid an attack coming to my face. I looked at the man standing opposite me and once his eyes met mine, I tried to hit him with my right fist. He blocked it as always, but it didn’t’ mean it will stop me from trying to punch him again and again. When I tried to hit him for the fourth time, he raised his fist so quickly I couldn’t even see it before I felt pain on the left side of my head. I staggered backward and shook my head like a wet dog. ‘’ I told you to be careful when you attack because you leave your guard open.’’ Leo’s voice was even and unbothered. On the other hand, I was already breathing with difficulties. ‘’Don’t focus only on attacking. You need to prot
The Last Piece of my Soul Let with no choice
For the first time in a long while, I felt some semblance of satisfaction. Was it because Leonardo, the man I used to love so much without being reciprocated, was standing in front of me? No, definitely, not. It was because of the fear in the eyes of the woman who ordered my death and almost succeeded in taking my life. Her skin was as white as a sheet of paper, and her dark eyes were round with dread. Did I look like that when Xavier took a picture of me and sent it to her? Did she feel the same thing as me now? If the answer was yes, I could truthfully say that I understood her. I sincerely understood why she enjoyed watching the person she hated suffering. My gaze full of malice was promising endless pain if I got the chance to get near her. Noticing the promise in my eyes, she quickly hid behind Xavier. As always. God, I just wanted to see her alone without the protection of her dog. I clenched my jaw, sensing my boiling anger but then forced myself to calm down. I wante
The Last Piece of my Soul More than one bad day
“All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy. That's how far the world is from where I am. Just one bad day.” Never in my life did I believe there would be a day when a quote from a comic would relate so closely to me. But recently, I started feeling that the bad days in my life are far more than the good. I was so tired of fighting to keep my sanity. To fight to stay afloat of the sea of misery that was pulling me to its depths with every passing day. I didn’t think I had more strength to swim. I gave up.I looked at the woman kidnapped and wanted to torture me for some unknown reason. Earlier I tied her wrist and ankles with the same rope she tied me before breaking free. My eyes found hers, and I noticed the slight trembling of her body. Her nostrils flared because of her heavy breathing, probably caused by her fear. Yes. It wasn’t funny to be let at the mercy of other people. But I was curious. Did I also look that pathetic
The Last Piece of my Soul A deadly silver shine
When I was left alone, I used the time to go to the bathroom and pull the lid of the toilet bowl. There I sat in for a while, not thinking about anything. I watched the white door blinking and not letting any thought or emotion in my head. For the first time in a while, I felt some semblance of peace. Why was my life like that? In the beginning, I blamed Leonardo and Bianca. But now? After this hallucination, I didn’t know what to think. Was what I saw something created by my stressed subconsciousness? It was possible, but it couldn’t explain the familiarity I felt. I had that feeling of being aware of it at some point but forgetting about it.However, I couldn’t accept the other option. I wasn’t strong enough mentally to do it at this point. So, for now, I would just bury my head in the sand and believe it was a bad dream caused by the constant stress I lived in. I went to wash my hands, and while doing so, the door opened, and another woman came in.
The Last Piece of my Soul Spiralling down in the abyss II
The door opened to a spacious hall bearing an ancient ambience. I blinked confusedly, wondering what was happening. Many people were inside wearing traditional Chinese clothes, their gazes pointing expectantly at the place where I was standing. Just a moment ago, the make–up artist was preparing me for the interview, and now suddenly, I was on some set for an ancient drama tv-series together with many other unknown people. I must be dreaming. But, normally, people didn’t realise they were dreaming while I was keenly aware that what I see wasn’t real. Then my body started moving on its own accord, making everything even more surreal. My back was as straight as an arrow, my head held high and my breathing steady. But deep inside, I was feeling anxious. Why was I moving without wanting it? I felt like a marionette. I tried to move my head around and better look at the environment, but it was impossible. The only thing I could see was the red hem of my clothes and t

On the next day was the interview which Kang Xianliang and I had to give in front of the press to dispel the rumours of my ‘’affair’’. I woke up tired with no will to live as always, but this time there was an additional reason for my lack of good rest, which didn’t include my nightmares. I was mostly tossing all night, feeling that something unpleasant is about to happen. However, I tried to be positive and just ignore it. While I had my breakfast at Xianliang’s kitchen, I was reading the file he sent me yesterday about the woman who hated me enough to try to tarnish my reputation.To be honest, there wasn’t anything interesting about her. She was an actress who tried for years to become popular and successful, but unfortunately, her acting skills were lacking, and all the movies she starred in were criticised for her performance. Maybe, because she could not achieve her dream, she became a cruel and wicked person who wanted to vent
The Last Piece of my Soul He won't suffer for long
A hand crept on my back, slowly caressing it, making my hairs stood on ends. My heart started palpitating, and I wanted to step away from that burning tip which I felt was getting closer and closer. However, the moment I tried to move away, the grip on my waist got stronger, and he pulled me even closer, making our bodies touch without even a gap. I put my hands on his shoulders, keeping my face away from him. ‘’What are you doing?’’ I asked, irritated, trying to hide my nervousness caused by our closeness. ‘’You are going to burn me.’’ ‘’It won’t be that bad. It will hurt at the beginning but eventually, you will get better.’’ I blinked a few times, astonished at what he had just said. During the time we spent together, I realised that this man had some really black and twisted sense of humour. So, I knew right now he wasn't serious. But, there was one problem. One moment he was joking, and the other, he was serious, doing exactly what he had been joking about. Seei
The Last Piece of my Soul The burning tip of a cigarette
The name of the woman who supposedly was behind this whole ordeal didn’t invoke any memories in me. For the sake of my life, I couldn’t remember if I had ever met her, nor could I think of a situation where my actions could directly or indirectly implicate her. We didn’t have common friends or acquaintances. So, why the bloody hell did she do this? But maybe, it wasn’t because of me. Maybe it was because she had a history with somebody close to me and was using me as a revenge tool. However, I could hardly think of a person here in China who cared so much about me they could get upset if I was hurt. While I was thinking about this, I arrived at Kang Xianliang’s mansion. When the butler let me in, I hurried to his office wanting to ask if he knew that woman by some chance. However, I only made one step when the butler’s hand stopped me on my way to the stairs. ‘’Young Master isn’t in a very good mood today. Be careful not to worsen it.’’ My eyebrows furrowed a
