"Grandma, I'm so sorry. I thought you'll not accept our relationship. I wanted to tell you over dinner with everyone a...after we married."
Letting out a sigh, Madame Song pulled her closer, "Lana, you know I am not like your parents. I trust the girl I raised and I'll always support you no matter what. So, tell me do you love him? does he take care of you?" Madame Song asked with a small smile.
She was silent for a while, "Yes, yes Grandma I'm very much in love with him and he treats me like no other. He is a good Man Ma. And I am sure you'll like him too." Lana said shyly.
Looking at her red face, Madame Song relaxed smiling happily. "then that is great, but if he treats you bad....." she turns her face to Daniel who arrived just then after putting his clothes on, giving him a threatening look as if to say, 'I'll kill you if anything happens to my precious.'
"Haha.. Grandma, I will never hurt her. I never plan to make her sad or cry when I decided to marry her. I have waited long enough to make her mine and I'll cherish her as my life because she is." He said looking at Lana lovingly.
Wait why will he say that? We barely even know each other. For one, he is a great actor, I'll give him that; Lana thought giggling silently. She raised her head to look at him but caught a flash in his eyes which was hidden as soon as it came.
"If that is so, I will be on my way." Pausing slightly, Madame Song gave Lana a peck on her right cheek before whispering to her; "don't you forget to come visit me and with your husband too."
Lana walked Madame Song out, as she watched her get into the car. Turning to Daniel beside her, she grabbed his hand dragging him inside the house. "come on we have a lot to talk about."

CHUFANG TEA HOUSE
"Your Grandmother caught you with a man?!!!" Rai screamed. "Way to go girl!"
"Is he handsome? How was it? Is he good in bed?" Diane questioned teasingly as they both high fived.
"Uh really? Are you guys my friends? I can't believe this." Lana said squinting her eyes at her friends. "And for your information, we didn't do tha...that last night."
Ria and Diane both looked at each other before taking a sip of their tea.
"What? Why are you both looking at me like that?" Lana said lifting her hand in frustration.
"Uhmm nothing actually, but wait, is the guy handsome? And sexy?" Ria paused raising a brow at Lana. Seeing her nod, she continued, "And you mean nothing, nothing happened between you guys?"
Lana looked at her friend laughing her head off. she turned to Diane for help but was dumbfounded when she asked, "you are not a lesbian, are you?"
"wait what? You two are surely crazy." She said letting out a sigh, partly annoyed at her stupid friends and the fact that she was tricked.
Diane giggled but stopped when she took in her expression, with a serious face she asked her, "Then what happened, Lana? Did he do anything to you?" she voiced worriedly.
"Oh! my Goodness Diane, he didn't do anything to me." Well except tricking me that is, she mumbled in her mind. "I am married," she said quietly looking at her friends as she dropped the bomb.
Looking at her silent friends, she began to worry. 'did I shock them too much?'
"Oh! My Goodness, way to go girlfriend!" Ria said with a chuckle. "But how? It was only yesterday that we talked about this you know? How did you make him agree to the terms on the contract?"
"Well, that's the problem, there is no contract whatsoever. I'm legally married and that to a stranger I don't even know." Lana said annoyed.
***THE PREVIOUS DAYCountry M, Metropolitan city. LANG'S VILLA"I'm not marrying him, Father. That man is a playboy, a cheat and a scum of a man. Marrying him is the last thing I would do," Lana strongly protested, knowing fully well her Father's anger, as he never liked his authority questioned.Joseph Lang frowned, keeping aside the documents he was reading; "you're marrying him and that is final, you know better than to question my authority, young Lady," he informed her sternly."why me, Dad? Why can't you be like every normal and caring parent out there?...""We're doing what's good for you, darling," Sophie Lang responded gently, as she approached her husband with a cup of coffee."what's good for me you say? Mom, just ask around about Josh Mel and anybody will tell you he is a playboy, that guy use
**After the third glass, Lana was dragged by her friends to the dance floor. Apparently, she was 6'5 ft tall with a curvaceous body which made it almost impossible for people not to sneak a glance at her.Her dark brown eyes, sparkled in the dimly lit room as her favorite song came up.Looking at the woman on the dance floor, with all those, lust filled eyes looking at her. he so much wished to blind those eyes that gazed at her that way. The woman that set his heart beating and his being filled with emotions for her. No wonder, he couldn't find her, she was the daughter of the Lang's and she did a good job disguising herself back then.It's been three years my love, I won't let you slip from my fingers this time. This time, I'll make you mine!Laughing crazily, Lana kept twirling around, giggling like a little kid when she came crashing on a warm chest. A firm hand wrappe
Meanwhile, back in the hotel suit.Two Men were engrossed in a conversation, as they sat in opposite direction. "you sure are fast. You've got sister in-law trapped already," Collins tattled with interest as he looked at the smiling face of Daniel."that's not the word, you know?" Daniel replied sending him a cocky look.Collins scoffed at his friend, "Oh please." But continued anyways, "So how was your night? Did you and sister in-law...?" he was cut off by the cold glare Daniel was giving him as he scratched his neck meekly.Noticing the serious atmosphere, Collins sat straight with a serious look on his face as Daniel passed the file to him. "I want you to return to the base. And get this done for me."Taking the file from Daniel, he flipped it through with surprise on his face, "T-this?" he looked at Daniel imploringly. Seeing him nod, he asked, "are you sure, the
HOTEL LUVARAAt the same time, in a hotel room, two bodies were clearly entangled, going at it like rabbits in heat. The well furnished room, did not do well to cover the sounds of activities happening in the room. The low grunts of a man and the high pitched moans of the woman combining with the squeaking sound of the bed. Were heard Clearly, by those in the next room.Clearly,the people inside were totally unconcerned about the disturbance they were creating as anybody passing by their door would blush in shame."Ahhhh! Yes. Yes! right there! I Love you so much Jo-shh!"Embracing the woman in his arms, bids of sweat trickle down the man's body as his thrust became sloppier. Reaching his climax, Josh let out a loud groan after thrusting for one last time, he collapsed beside her pulling her into his arms.With a wronged look on her face, the woman started sniffling as tears drip
The door pushed open to reveal a middle age, lady as she walked into the office with a file. "Miss Lana, here are the documents you requested for." Arriving at the desk, Melda said as she handed the file over to Lana. Lana opened the file with a frown, "who changed the models?!" she questioned her assistant sternly. "Miss Lana..." Melda relied with a troubled look. "The Models that were chosen for the show backed out and the show is only next week. Some were to renew their contract but they refused, even Irene pulled out of the contract without care at all. She said she would compensate the company..." Lana was trying hard not to get angry, as she rubbed her forehead frustratingly, "Melda, you can't just make decisions because you want to. And how come those Models decide to pull out now?!" Just then, Alex walked in majestically as she smiled widely at her, "what's, wrong sis? you do look angry." Her smile widened feeling satis
When Lana got home, it was already 7pm. She had been so occupied, working on the final draft of the designs that she missed several calls from Daniel.As she got inside, she thought he would question her lateness but instead, he dragged her towards the dinning, and fed her food, spoon by spoon, filled with delicacies. She didn't realize she had eaten more than she could take as the food was so delicious. After the dinner, Lana wanted washing the dishes but was stopped by Daniel as he shook his head, telling her to go freshen up and take a rest.Who would have thought, that she would one day experience a man's doting; She thought, smiling happily as she made her way to their bedroom.When Daniel finished washing the dishes, he went upstairs. Opening the door to their room, he admired his wife's beauty. She must have been so tired as she fell asleep immediately after bathing leaving her hair slightly wet. Her sleeping posture was funny cause, she laid sprawled on the bed,
"My dear, are we going to hold the engagement on the same day of the banquet? Wouldn't that..." Mrs. Lang questioned worriedly. Although she did not like her Daughter, because she was a reminder of her past. A past she hated so much. What people did not know, was that she was raped when she was engaged to her husband. Back then, when she found out she was going to be in an arranged marriage, she ran away. She wanted the love that was in fairytales, so she left home and went to a foreign country.She remembered that night, she was supposed to meet up with her friends, when she got pulled to an alley far away from the club they were to meet. She was violated by a stranger. she couldn't even see his features. Broken, she went back to her family but was forced to marry Joseph Lang.Although, she managed to hide the fact, she was pregnant from her husband, somehow, he managed to know the truth after Lana was born. Though he was infuriated, he couldn't divorce her because of
"What's up? Baby brother." Lana answered, placing the phone on her ears. She had just gotten out from the kitchen, when she received a call from her younger brother. Timothy Lang, was her younger brother by 3 years, though mischievous at times; their relationship could be defined as amiable. She loves her brother no matter how their parent's, treats them differently. Timothy was the baby of the family, since he was brought up as the heir. He was sent abroad for studies and although they do talk once in a while, it has been a long time since she last heard his voice. She did not even know when he'd come back."Sister, I'm back." An exciting voice resounded from the phone. "Back? Back from... Wait, do you mean you're back home?"A young male voice chuckled at the other end, "yes, I am back. Sister, don't you miss me? I wanted to surprise you but I didn't find you at home. Heard you moved out."Daniel leaned on the door with his arms crossed. A distracted Lana coul
Butler Feng stepped forward seeing his master's reddened face with worry.Suddenly, the front door opened. The officers walked in followed by three burly men dressed in military uniforms, guns on their waists shielding the people behind.After entering, they immediately stepped aside revealing his Eldest son, Daniel. Johnathan almost couldn't believe his eyes. He choked emotionally, seeing his son okay, his wife followed soon after with a Calm expression on her face.He quickly wiped away the tears running down his cheeks as he rushed towards his son and hugged him, "You're alive! Both of you!" His pulled away and his hand slammed strongly on Daniel's shoulder, "It's Good, it is Good that you are alright." Johnathan said emotionally. "Father, I am sorry for worrying you." Daniel apologized calmly as he put his arms around his father."No, you are dead! You were supposed to die in the explosion." Natasha shrieked," Why are you not dead? Why are you not dead?!" she kept shouting hysteri
"Where are we?" Lana uttered wiping the tear stained off her face while looking at the vast space."We'll figure that out tomorrow." Daniel said, "Right now..." he drawled bringing his lips closer to her face, "let's do something warm." They kissed, holding each other tight, savoring each other's taste. He deepened the kiss with an urgency, his tongue entered her mouth to explore every corner of it. She whimpered as he pulled her closer to himself and she clung to him tighter. Her legs instinctively wrapped around his waist, as his hand moved under her dress caressing her inner thighs, causing goosebumps to rise. They broke the kiss but continued kissing, never wanting to let go. She felt him lift her off the ground, as they continued to continue making out, Daniel slowly unbuttoned his shirt and revealed a very well built torso and six pack abs. He kissed her neck as he undid his belt and kicked off his pants along with her dress."D-Daniel," she gasped trying hard not to moan as he
More than thirty minutes later, Lana started waking up. In her dazed state, she could faintly hear the sound of something beeping, it alarmed her. As soon as the panic began to fill up her mind she remembered everything that happened while she was asleep. Slowly she pried her eyelids open looking around. Everything looked dark and quiet but after looking more closely, she noticed the blinking red light, it was bomb!Her mind went blank. Upon arriving, the first thing he did was rush straight inside looking for his wife. The yacht was empty which was odd. But he could not leave before finding Lana. He hurriedly searched every room until he stopped at a particular one, his heart beating along as he opened it.Lana felt it was the end for her. She didn't realize that her eyes were tearing up until she felt the salt wetting her cheek as she was crying silently. A few seconds later, a familiar voice appeared beside her, making her turn around to see her husband. He removed her gag kneelin
As they were leaving the cafe, a van suddenly pulled up in front of them. Feeling unease and puzzled as she glanced at the van, two masked men rushed out and grabbed onto her dragging her into the van. And that was the last thing she remembered before everything faded to darkness.*************Lana woke up groggily and blinked a few times to clear the blurriness away. Looking around, she found herself tied to a chair in a dimly lit room. She tried to figure out where she was but nothing came to mind. A Woman walked into the room making sure she closed the door behind her. Lana tensed at the sound and turned to face her, thinking It was one of the masked men that brought her here.In the Dark, all she could hear was the sound of water source flowing somewhere nearby, which told her they were near a water source. But why would anyone bring her here. The last thing she remembers was being kidnapped by two men who dragged her into the van and knocked her out while driving.She then heard
There was a tensed silence in the hall. The atmosphere became uncomfortable, so Lana decided to take initiative, "Mom, Dad. Let's do this after dinner alright?" She said looking at both sides. Matthew and his wife agreed readily, moving to the table for dinner, the servants serving everyone food. Once everyone was seated.They began to eat in silence as they waited for the tension to subside a bit. After dinner, while the others sat at the leisure room chatting, Lana left with her parents to the study, where they could have a conversation and talk things out. "What is going on here? Don't tell me, this man is your father?" Joseph Lang asked as soon as he stepped into the study."Yes, Father. From your tone, it seems like I was not ever going to know about the fact that my biological father is someone else. Was, it... Father, Mom?" Lanaquestioned looking straight at her Mom. "That's because you weren't meant to find out!""Find out what? That, I was living a lie? That the man I thoug
Lucas blushed slightly and coughed lightly as if he hadn't noticed anything while Ria giggled to herself and continued to sneak glances at him. Lucas turned his head towards Lana slowly, "Sorry. What was it you wanted to say?""Oh, nothing much. Just wondering when you guys will stop staring at each other as if you want to devour each other. I mean seriously." Lana answered, raising an eyebrow at Lucas as she spoke with a teasing tone. Lucas looked away embarrassed and scratched the back of his neck shyly. Ria was grinning like mad, her dark brown eyes twinkled with mischief as she whispered something to Diane, causing her to giggle loudly.***The atmosphere in the White Mansion was quite lively with activities. A lot happened in the past few weeks, with Lucas and Ria getting closer than ever. They were basically everywhere sharing mushy glances.Lana crossed checked everything around the mansion to make sure it was okay, after all, her guests would be arriving soon. Just then, a cal
In a large shopping mall in City A, a young woman with smooth porcelain skin and blonde curly hair that hung down to her shoulders was searching the shelves for something to wear. The sun beamed brightly in the sky above her, casting a warm glow on her pale skin as she walked past. A pair of sunglasses laid rested on her pretty eyes, making her appear Cool and elegant. The young woman was wearing a short black dress that stopped at mid thigh, which showed off her toned legs. She wore black stilettos that matched the dress, enhancing her slim and sexy figure.She checked out the items she bought, holding a small boy of almost two years. He was dressed in a blue tee shirt and some green shorts. His brown, silky hair curled around his face like a halo. He also wore black sneakers. The young woman held her son and left the shopping mall sporting the man leaning against the car. The small boy had his left hand clasped in his mother's right hand, staring at everything they passed when his
When morning came, the house had already begun to buzz with activity, Lana's family met with the Li's to discuss about Lana and Daniel's wedding.Soon the Xuans arrived at the Li family Villa. After they met with the Li's' the rest of the day went by fast. ...Once everyone returned to their homes, the Xuans started their planning session regarding Lana and Daniel's wedding ceremony. They decided on a location for the ceremony. They'd have it at the White Mansion in front of all the guests and then there would be a small reception afterwards which was mostly meant for the family only.The afternoon passed quickly as they discussed what they wanted for their wedding reception. The wedding would take place at the White Mansion in June which was a month away from now. And because the wedding was going to be held there, there were a lot of guest invited. Including the members of both sides, plus some business associates.*. * *. * *.Back in City A, Country M.Lang's Residence. The atm
"Yes...me." She confirmed her suspicions, crossing her legs on the chair as she leaned forward slightly. "Tell me why I shouldn't just call security down on you right now? Or perhaps I should let the police handle this case." Lana demanded, anger flashing in her eyes as she glared daggers at the young nurse.Dr. Alice M. sat staring at Lana, aghast at what she had helped do in the past had come back to hunt her."Do you know why I decided to come visit?" She demanded sternly.Dr. M nodded, swallowing thickly. "Yes, I'm afraid so. I'm so sorry about what...""Don't bother, Your apologies won't turn back time or give me my child! He was only five months and yet you guys helped kill him." The venom in her voice sent shivers down Dr. M's spine, but still she forced a shaky smile and sat straight, crossing her legs. Lana glared darkly at the other woman before sighing heavily. "Alright, let's skip to the point, shall we?" Lana said sarcastically, "Tell me, Was your heart eaten by the dev
