She was really crazy

My heart was beating so hard I felt like it was going to leap from my ribcage. I took deep swallow breaths, slowly realising I wasn’t dead. What the hell was this for?! I started trembling due to the abruptly accumulated adrenalin. My teeth were chattering, and my body was cold. Above my head, I heard the low chuckle of that damn man.

‘’Did you really think I was going to kill you?’’ No, I thought you were going to serve me tea with biscuits. I threw him an accusatory gaze and tightly pursed my lips. If I only opened my mouth, I wasn’t sure if I would be able to shut up even if he ended my life for real.

‘’Was I supposed to think of something else?’’ In the end, I couldn’t stay quiet. I spit the words through my gritted teeth while trying to suppress the rage and distress fighting to prevail over my emotions. This man and his unpredictab

    After he left me alone, I was finally able to relax my nerves. I looked over my shoulder at the closed door. I didn’t intend to follow his orders. I wasn’t going to stay idle and let him order me around. I stood up, thinking of finding a way to get back home. Waking out of his study, I finally paid attention to the interior of the mansion. It screamed luxury and riches. The dominating interior style was German with a touch of Nordic. I walked around a little bit, looking for the exit. I was thinking of calling a taxi like the previous time. Suddenly, I realised I don’t have my phone. I double-checked my pockets, and surely my purse and phone weren’t there. At this moment, I saw the butler who is going to do his duties. Gloomily, I stopped him.‘’Excuse me, could you give me back my phone and purse. I want to go home.’’ The man’s expression stiffed, followed by his apologeti

  • The Last Piece of my Soul   Escaping

    After I was kicked from Kang Xianliang’s room, I went back to the one assigned to me from the beginning. Sitting on the bed, I started thinking about the actions I could take. Pleading and whining were out of the equation; otherwise, I would be rolling on the floor, wetting it with my tears of desperation. Which meant I had to be cunning and merciless to escape this man’s grip.However, it wouldn’t be easy. He put a lot of effort to establish us as a couple. Even if I wanted to end the ‘’relationship’’ the consequences would be disastrous. Kang Xianliang was a respectable businessman and desirable bachelor by many socialite women. They would hate me in their guts because I stole the man they had their eyes on. After we ‘’break up’’ they will gloat over my presumable misfortune. It wouldn’t matter who initiated the separation.Fortu

    The message was crystal clear. If I dared to disobey Kang Xianliang again, he was going to shot Yan Si. He used a sniper was to show how serious his intentions were. I felt suffocating pressure. Slowly, I found a chair where I could sit. During this whole time, butler Che was eyeing me with a worried face. I tried to conceal my real emotions. I couldn’t show that I felt like an animal caught in a trap. I massaged my temples, gulping a few times because I felt like my heart went into my throat.‘’Young miss, is everything alright?’’ He tried to peep into my phone, but I locked it, making the screen black.‘’Yes, everything is fine.’’ My voice was low but steady. I tried as best as I could to control it, not to tremble. Butler Che looked at me suspiciously. I met his eyes confidently, refusing to show my true thoughts. If I let myself look like I was

  • The Last Piece of my Soul   Behind the amiable smiles

    There was a saying that enemies meet on a narrow road. Seeing Bianca here, that woman who ordered her lackey to torture me until I was almost dead, I wanted to lash out and scratch her pretentious face. I was so angry my whole being started trembling. I always felt like that when I had an adrenalin rush. But, I knew I had to get a hold of myself.‘’Calm down.’’ The man holding me whispered, his breath tickling my ear. I ignored the sensation caused by him and stopped my gaze at the approaching couple. Leonardo was seemingly smiling but judging by the thunderous colour of his blue eyes, deep down, he was angry. I remembered that a while ago in Venice, I told him I have nothing to do with Kang Xianliang because he threatened my cousin. Surely, I looked like a liar to him right now.‘’Mr Kang, thank you for having Bianca and me. We are more than delighted to attend this occasion.&rsq

    I was thrown into a black Maybach in a very rudely manner. Hissing from the pain in my elbows, I raised my head to look at Leonardo begrudgingly. He sat nonchalantly, not paying me any attention and ordered his chauffeur to drive the car."Where are you taking me?" I tried to hide my nervousness as best as possible. If I learnt one thing from dealing with people who had ill intention towards me, it was to stay calm and try to keep my rationality. That

    The 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

    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. No, not because h

    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 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
