The sheet on her body fell to the floor.
She covered her face with her hands and cried. With her reddened eyes, she raised her hands to scrub her body. Although she believed nothing happened, she still felt dirty. How humiliated she felt, after waking up to find herself next to someone she wasn't married to.How will Daniel perceive her now? Being caught in bed with another man by her husband.How did she get there? She had just gone out to pick a call away from the noisy hall, then everything blanked out. She was very sure, it was a conspiracy plotted against her. A conspiracy, she fell into much to the happiness of its conspirator. She rubbed, rubbed, and scrubbed, on and on till her skin turn red and rough.She felt disgusted and the feeling wasn't good, besides the fact that she had some misgivings that she didn't dare confirm.She did this until a knockAustin stood up swiftly and ran after her. He grabbed and pushed her lightly against the Car.Flustered, Lana reached out to punch him. He grabbed the hand in the air and the leg that was about to kick him. Pulling her close, he whispered into her ear. "It is my choice to Love you, whether strangers or not. You can't ask me to stay away from you.""You.." Lana's voice had just sounded when a kiss landed.Daniel who was around the vicinity saw this scene and drove away in a fit of anger.Lana fiercely bit his lip, drawing blood as he hissed in pain. She stumped his foot and pushed him away.*Pak!A heavy sound of a slap echoed and Austin's left cheek glow red with five prints on it. Lana was already heaving in anger and wished she hadn't stopped Daniel from teaching him a lesson that today and just maybe, it would have reset his brain.
One Month After. The Villa was silent. Lana was startled awake by her nightmares. She has been having them for a month, now. Since Daniel's disappearance, all she dreamt about was him being in danger. She glanced at the tiny alarm Clock by the bedside table.It's 4 O'clock, past midnight.Lana's phone lit up.Followed by the iPhone ringtone. The cell phone was particularly loud and conspicuous in the quiet and still room."Hello." She was frigid for a second before answering the call. It was the number of the police officer in charge of the case. She had filed a case of a missing person, a day after he did not come back like he wrote in the note. She sat straight up and brisk herself to listen to whatever news, he had for her.The serious voice came on the other side without warning, "Ma'am, sorry for calling you this late, but a case was reported not long ago and it seems to be your husband's car. I reckon that he might have m
In the hospital.Nanny Wang rushed forward as the doctor came out of the ward. "Doctor, how is the patient?""The patient had been too emotionally excited. But she is not in danger."Nanny Wang heaved a sigh of relief as she listened to the doctor.At this moment, the doctor continued:"I have done a thorough body check-up on the patient, just now. If there is no problem, both of them will be okay.""Doctor, both of them? What do you mean?" Nanny Wang anxiously questioned not understanding what she meant.The Doctor assessed the Lady in front of her, before pulling her glasses down. "Seems like you did not know. Congratulations! The patient is four weeks pregnant. Be careful not to let her stress herself, she is still in her early stage and can easily miscarry."Nanny Wang looked at the smiling doctor as she walked away. Her eyes reddened with unshade tears. Her family's mistress is pregnant. Is this a good thing or not, she wiped her eyes and strolled in
When she is this happy, something is definitely not right."That bitch's son is in a coma." The woman smiled devilishly. Peter gazed at his mother and raised an eyebrow. "Oh? But he is just in Coma, he will still wake up."Peter questioned not understanding what was so happy about that. His father's son was just in a coma, it would have been better if he had just died. Now the old man was intent on having him succeed him."Not really. however, since he managed to survive the accident, I have my ways of changing that." She then took a few sips of her drink and said; "I can guarantee him staying that way for life. And we won't have to bother about him interfering in our lives. Your father will only have you as his son and heir."After she finished speaking, Peter collected the glass of wine from her perfectly manicured hand and downed the content with a wide grin.His lips curled up in a devilish smile, "That is why I love you, Mother." He
The drive back to the Villa was a quiet one. The silence in the car was stifling. Daniel ignored the woman by his side as he leaned lazily on the back seat of the car.Though, he kept his eyes closed. He was still aware of his surrounding.About half an hour later, the car drove into the mansion. Daniel's closed eyes shut open.The butler went to check who it was at the door. When he opened the door, he was pleasantly surprised to see the person beside the Madam, "young Master, you are back! Master would be so happy to see you."He made way for them as they walked inside. Natasha rolled her eyes at the Old fool, he was one of the oldest employees and Johnathan's confidant, though she succeeded in dismissing other previous employees, this old man still managed to stay."Madam, you are back." The butler politely greeted her and stepped aside.Natasha
It was hours past midday. looking at her time, Lana decided to turn in for the day and close early. She carried her bag and walked outside the building. A figure pops up in her view-blocking her from opening the car door."I see, you threw the gifts away." Lana fights the urge to groan out loud and beat him to a pulp so he would stop disturbing her."I am glad, you know that. Seems like your way of getting information is quite on point and fast." She said sarcastically. "Please, leave my path, Austin."She glanced at the man just a step away from her, annoyed."Why? You don't even call me senior, anymore. Give me a chance, will you, Lana. Let me take you out to dinner." Austin said seriously, as he stood there, dressed in a simple T-shirt and pants."Why do you try so hard, Austin? I am a married woman who is expecting, Doesn't that bothers you? I have made it clear that I have no intention of getting together with you
Mel's residence."Your father got Wu Lin to invite us to his father's birthday banquet. It is said that they will be celebrating old man Wu's 53rd birthday Anniversary. Butler Ke will prepare a better and expensive gift, we can not afford any embarrassment seeing how he had to flatter that Mr. Wu for it." Linda Mel sat with her legs crossed on the sofa as she informed Josh and Alexandra.It was the best chance to get business partners. Although, the company was doing well, though not like before. It was still better to make more business partners and investors to push the company forward."Tomorrow, you two will represent your father and me, there. And Josh, try to expand connections. It will be good for the company." She informed them what Gideon asked her to convey. Alexandra was feeling happy at this moment, about attending the event. It has been a long time since she last attended an
At the long rectangular dinner table. A somewhat, happy ambiance permeated the Area, as a hot, grand set of dishes were served.Johnathan Li sat at the head seat, while Daniel sat by his right-hand side. The other two; Natasha and Peter sat on the opposite side of Daniel. As the maids placed the dishes on the table, Daniel gazed at them with an unspeakable glint in his eyes.Johnathan caught the glimmer in his eyes, and let out a fake cough."Eat, it is your favorite food." Johnathan pointed out to the dishes with emotion. Though he did not mention anyone, those on the table, knew exactly who the old man was talking to. The look of jealousy was all over Peter. When has his father, ever prepared his favorite food or anything at all for him. This Old Man was sure biased to his precious Son. He came back early and happen to see his father, cooking in the kitchen with the maids standing outside. Only Butler Feng was beside him, helping out with the p
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

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
