"Where are you going?" Alexandria curiously asked, the young lady was laying on the long couch, her head was still in pain.

"My room. I want to sleep." He reasoned out. Alexandria eyed her cousin suspiciously but in the end she et him go to his room.

After seeing his expression earlier when Jingfei told that her best friend want to meet her, she new that something was bugging on the man.

"Where is Hugo? And your brother?" Madame Heroux asked, she just got back from the kitchen with a tray of apple pie and a plate of sliced watermelon.

    “Hey small potatoes! Oww!” A groaned escape from the woman’s lips when the twins jumped on her. “Did you both miss me that much?”The excitement on the twins face as they enthusiatically nodded their heads at the same time, made Jingfei chuckle. Huihui, Lihua and Li Wei daughter, buried her face on Jingfei´s chest, “I’ve missed your pastries, Aunt Jingfei.” “You only missed my desserts? How about Aunt Jingfei? You didn’t missed me?” Giggling at Jingfei’s words, Huihui reached her hand and gently caressed the woman’s face, “Of course, Aunt Feifei is my most missed person.” “Awww! I’ve missed you too, my chubby Huihui! But your not chubby anymore.” Jingfei stared at the child with a sad expression. “Huihui is growing! I need to grow taller not sideways, Aunt Feifei.” The child pouted as she crossed her arms. “Alright! Al

    The real Lucien held his aching jaw and felt a liquid dripping from his chin, “You gave me a good blow, Li Wei.” Wiping the blood, he muttered. Li Wei tightly grip on his fist and the cracking sound of his finger can be heard, “*crack* *crack* Of course! This is a once in a life time opportunity, Li Guang!”Lucien stood up straight and walked closer to the man, he extended his hand out and with a grin, Li Wei quickly grabbed it and pulled his one and only brother into an embrace, “ Been so long huh, Li Guang.” He mumbled.

Because it’s unbelievable that after seven long years of you gone missing without a trace, you just came back in a snap.

I was ordered to grab something to drink for the Madames’ and for Miss Xu.” Li Guang’s eyes landed on the three drinks that the man was holding.“Let’ go.”

    Li Wei leaned his back on the chair and he looked at Lucien with a serious expression on his face. "What will you do now? Did you agree to help the sister of your deceased first girlfriend?" Pursing his lips together, Lucien heaved a deep sigh, "I somewhat made a deal with her. I'll help her get revenge on Hugo and she'll help me get back on my knees." Lucien lowered his head down, "I somewhat got back on my knees and I did it all for Jingfei but I guess I was already late." "Seven years is not a short time, Lucien.""I know that.

HuiLi had a small plate filled with pudding infront of him, Luwei was enjoying his milk flavoured cookies while Huihui had two slices of strawberry cake in front of her. Both Grandma and Grandpa Zhou were sitting on the couch facing the kids. “Grandma, would you like some desserts? How about you Grandpa?” Jingfei shouted from the kitchen. “No thank you dear. I had enough desserts earlier. But your Grandpa would like to have a small slice of pudding.” The elder Madame Zhou uttered.As the elders were enjoying the company of their grandchildred, Lihua and Jingfei busied themselves with the desserts. “I’ve missed your desserts, Feifei!” Lihua uttered as she shoved a spoonful of pudding on her mouth. “That’s why I made so

    The man waved his hand and smiled at the woman. Jingfei, who was still processing the man’s sudden appearance never left her sight on him. “You two know each other?” Jingfei attention was caught by her best friend, she slightly nodded her head without averting her gaze on the woman. “Yes, he is the cousin of my boyfriend, Alexander and he also lives at the same apartment building. I didn’t know that you are acquainted to Brother Li Wei.” She uttered to Hugo, who was also staring at her.“Well, I also didn’t know that you are close to them. After you left earlier, I got a call from him and invited me for a cup of coffee and now for a meal.” Hugo explained, partially the truth and the lie before he looked at Lihua, “I’m sorry for intruding, Madame Jian.”“Your my husband’s guest.

    Darling that is enough! You should eat your dinner first. Is Mr. Alarie going to stay for tonight? It’d be to late for him to go home.” Lihua picked the glass bowl and carefully walked towards the dining area. Jingfei proceeded to where the kids are after seeing Luwei trying to sit on the chair. Standing back on his feet, Hugo was about to answer Lihua’s question when Li Wei spoke first before him, “Yes! He’ll stay. Jingfei will also stay here for tonight right? You two should go home together tomorrow since you live in the same building.” Li Wei suggested. Jingfei slightly froze when she was about to pick HuiLi up. The thought of her being with him for almost an hour made Jingfei stomach tingle because of an unknown sensation.Li Wei vaguely glanced, “Well is it okay for you Feifei?

    A white Maserati’s engine died down after it was parked in front of a villa. Hugo hurriedly went out from the car and roamed his gaze around the house. It was already dark but the owner of the villa can afford to buy lots of light post for her house to illuminate the surroundings.“Still flashy as ever.” He mumbled before deciding to make his way towards the door. Hugo grabbed his phone and opened his messages. He entered the password on the automatic lock door. Once the door opened, the man let himself in. He closed his eyes as soon as the smell of lavender entered his nose. Hugo roamed his eyes on the house. The walls were painted with white that adds to the spaciousness of the first floor that only have a set of couch and several bookshelves as it’s furniture. The man’s attention was then caught by the sound of water, he glanced on his left and saw a water fountain attached on the walls.

  • The Queen's Search for Love   Epilogue

    A year had passed since I received the letter that Alexandria handed to me during the chaotic wedding day of Oceane and Hugo. I finally got to call that man by his real name. It’s also been a year and a half since he didn’t came back from his so-called business trip. After reading the content of the letter, my whole world almost collapsed. I wanted to call him but I have no means to do so since his number was no longer available as well as is his email and social media accounts. They were all deactivated and deleted. Not even his family and close friends were able to contact him and Giovanni. The sound of the sea as the waves gone back and forth from the shore back to the ocean gave calmness to my soul as I stared at the fiery red with a tinge of yellow and orange hue sky, waiting for the sun to set and wishing that tomorrow... a bright new day... he would comeback to me.“You forgot your shawl again!” I felt a warm thick cloth hanged o

    A week had already passed since Alexander went to a business trip. He was supposed to come back after three days but... not his body nor shadow have appeared. Jingfei had become worried that something might happened to him and tried to contact him but the number he was using was no longer available. She tried asking for Alexandria and his parents but none of them were able to reach him as well. Madame Heroux tried to pull some strings to ask the airport for his flight details but she only got the information of his three days flight and no further information aside from that. “You really don’t have any means to contact yor brother? It’s been a week since he left but no calls and messages or even emails come from him.” Jingfei mumbled as her eyes stayed focus on the huge flat screen.“Don’t worry about him. Alexander will comeback before Lucien and Oceane’s wedding the day after tomorrow. Maybe something had happened in

    The soft mattress sunk as Alexander sat down beside Jingfei. The woman was giving him a glare while pulling the thick blanket to cover her naked body underneath. “What happened to your promise? We didn’t even finish packing your clothes.” Jingfei’s loud vocie echoed inside the man’s Alexander turned his head on the floor to see the scattered clothes of him and Jingfei. “Not that! Over there!” The woman pointed his piled clothes on top of the chair and the suitcase laying on the floor. Jingfei could feel her face burning when Alexander stared back at her with a playful look on his face. “We can just finish that later. Don’t tell me you didn’t enjoy me pouning on top of you? My back stings right now, wife.” Alexander’s roared a laugh when the woman hid herself under the blanket. “Would you please stop laughing, Alexander!” Jingfei lowered the blanket as she took a peek on Alexander wh

    “Did something happened at the company?” Lucien buckled his seltbelt first before taking a glance at the woman beside him. Nymphis started the car’s engine and had a glimpse of the rearview mirror. “She just said that the investors demanded for your attendance at the meeting. I almost forgot about the meeting as well.”“Was it about the expansion of the apparel store? Or the one where I invested in a movie?”“Both! I guess? You didn’t even consult me about that movie thing.” Jingfei sneered as she drove away from the mall’s parking lot.“It was an abrupt decision. I read the proposal from your study room and just affixed my signature. Sinclaire Wise will also be one of the cast so it won’t be a problem.”“She’s not even that good so could you please stop sponsoring my cousin’s projects?” A glint of irritation could be heard from the young lady’s voice

    Her eyes slightly widened as her lips parted a bit. Jingfei didn’t expect that just after two weeks since that incident had happened, she will encounter him at the jewelry store where she is choosing her engagement ring. The memories of their meeting for the first time after seven years flashed like lightning on her head. She realized that she haven’t said what she wanted to say after remembering that she just left him after he explined everything. “Darling? Are you alright?” Alexander’s deep and gentle vocie got her back to her senses. She looked up to him and smiled, “Yes, I’m alright,” she reassurely uttered before shifting her gaze back to Nymphis and the real Lucien. She stood up and plitely questioned Nymphis who was apcing towards them. “It’s been a while. What are you doing here Miss Nymphis? Did you just got here?” “Yes indeed it’s been a while, Jingfei.

    Jingfei was buckling her seatbelt when Alexander popped inside the driver seat. He just finished conversing with one of the head chefs. As he was wearing his seatbelt, he could feel the intense stare from the woman beside him. “What is it darling?” He turne his head to look at Jingfei whose lips were a bit extended into a pout. “You should have not announced it yet darling!” She exclaimed in a low tone, refering to their engagement.“Why? Did you not like that others knew about your proposal?” “That’s the case why I don’t want them yet to know that were engage since it was me who proposed. I am n-“Alexander reached for the woman’s hand when he saw her worried expression. “You don’t have to worry that you... a woman proposed to me.

    *clink* *clink* *clink* The sound of the glass bottle colliding with each other echoed in the whole first floor of Nymphis’ house. Her blue platform heels halted in front of a wasted man laying on the cold floor. It’s already eight in the morning and like the scene she witnessed yesterday morning, the real Lucien was knocked off on the cold floor again.“Hah!” A breathy sight escape from the young lady’s lips and without hesistation, Nymphis kicked the man with all her might. Not minding if he would scream in pian but she doubt that he could still feel pain.“Wake up! Are you planning to kill your liver and other organs, or what?” Her voice echoed and Lucien could only groan not because of the pain inflicted by Nymphis but because of his throbbing head. Folding her arms together and resting it on her chest, Nymphis tilted her body a little bit to have a clear look on Lucien’s wasted face. “Do you still

    “Are you alright, Alexander?” Tilting her head, Jingfei asked when the man didn’t give her an answer.“Why are you standing in front of your door and dressed like that? Elite told me that you are not feeling well.” The woman’s lips curved upwards, she chuckled at what the man said. “I’m probably sick but not from what Alexandria have told you. Here-” Jingfei handed a black long rectangular cloth to the man, “wear this and don’t try to peek at my back. Just look at me as you pair your eyes with that.” Alexander confusedly stared at the woman as he grabbed the long cloth. As what Jingfei had instructed him, he paired his eyes without even taking his gaze on her lovely face. “Why am I getting blindfolded today.” He mumbled as the image of his sister doing the same thing poppes to his mind. “How many finger I’m having on air right now?” The woman raised three of h

    Alexander firmly stared at the woman beside him. “What nonsense are you spouting?” His eyes almost squinting and a crease on his forehead was visible.“I’m not spouting nonsense. I’m telling you the truth! Before you go to your business trip. You’ll hear her explanation. I won’t tell you everything because it’s not my business to tell it to you after all. I was just giving you hints so you’ll open that godd*amn eyes of yours and see that Jingfei truly loves you. You better go see your doctor and get some treatment once you know things. And by the way, when are you leaving?” Alexander’s face was still filled with confusion but nonetheless he still answered his sister. “The day after tomorrow.” Taking one cupcake from the box.
