1 The Beginning

The sun had not risen up yet. The clouds were still looming on the sky, drifting away with the wind. The breeze was cold enough to make everyone shivers, but a woman in a balcony of a huge mansion indifferent to it as if she was not affected at all eventhough she wore a thin night clothes.

Behind her, a figure stood straight, watching her every movements as if preventing her from doing something extreme.

The woman suddenly spoke to the figure. "He didn't come back last night. Right?"

The figure kept silent, not responding to the woman's words.

The woman knew the figure would not respond, but she kept talking, "I've lost everything. I've lost my family. My father and brothers died because of my foolishness. My family perished because of me. Everything is for him-for him." Tears unknowingly rolled down from her beautiful eyes.

"I sacrificed everything for him. I give my wealth, heart, soul, even I sacrifice my own family for him but everything I did for years was a naught compared to a single cry of a woman out there." Tears kept rolling from her eyes, as if it was water gushed out from a broken dam. "I did every dirty work for him. I work myself to the bones, deprive myself from life enjoyment, it was all for him." She stared away through the scene beyond the mansion blanky.

"But he still want to sell me. He still want to sell me to those men. Hahahahaha... " She laughed maniacally but at the same time the figure could sense desperation and hopelessness from the woman's ironic laugh. She turned herself and looked at the figure with sarcastic smile. "Isn't it funny? I've already had nothing but he still want to squeeze me to dry. What should I do? Should I just throw myself to those men like what he expect me to do? Should I just run away from here? Or should I just... die?"

Hearing the woman's words, the figure that had been kept silent since the beginning trembled. If he was in her position, what should she do? She was still entangled when she heard the woman said, "Feiyan, what should I do?" The woman walked slowly to the figure she called Feiyan. Then she stared straight at Feiyan with eyes full of hatred. Then, she asked once again. "What should I do Feiyan?"

Facing the woman's cruel expression, Feiyan shivered in fears. She stepped backwards as the woman slowly getting closer to her.

The woman suddenly stopped when she was only half a step away from Feiyan. There was a glint flashed from her eyes. She stretched her hand towards Feiyan and took the baton from Feiyan's waist. Then, she knocked Feiyan down with it.

She opened the door and saw people in black suit startled when they saw her with the baton. They surrounded her as one of them threatened her. "Madam, please come back to your room or else master would beat you up." He looked at the woman haughtily. He was Jason, the head of bodyguard in the mansion. His tasks was to prevent her from doing something detrimental to his master - the woman's husband.

The woman looked at him indifferenly and said, "You are just a dog that I adopt. So, a disobedient dog like you that bite it's master should die." The man who spoke to her was the man she saved three years ago due to an accident. He was only a mere bodyguard in the brink of death but her sympathy saved him. In the past, he was loyal to her but now, he treated her ruthlessly. There was a pang of pain in her heart when she heard his words. But now, regret was useless. She gripped the baton tightly and charged forwards, breaking the encirclement.

She knocked the men with the baton, swang it around thus none of them could touch her. When one of the man was about to punch her, she nimbly jumped aside and throw the baton like a boomerang.

After quarter an hour, all the men sprawled on the floor. Some of them lied unconscious while some others groaned in pain. Their faces were beaten black blue. Even some of them had their wrists and legs broke by the woman.

The woman slowly walked towards Jason. She squinted her eyes as she lifted his chin with the baton in an indifferent manner. "Where is he? "

Jason didn't answer. He was frightened by the woman. The cells in his body screamed in fear because of the terror she brought upon them.

The woman saw that Jason didn't answer her question she said madly. "Ho? A dying dog is still loyal to its master? It seems that I need to give you some lessons." She rose the baton high up and was to hit Jason whe she heard him spoke. "Master went to Mrs. Ning's apartment last night."

The woman retracted the baton and walked towards the entrance door. Jason sighed in relief because of it. He looked at the woman's back. He was truly relieved because the woman didn't beat him up.

Jason was still immersed in his relief when he was stratled by a face that suddenly appeared before his eyes. Before he passed out he heard the woman's voice. "Three years ago I gave you life. And now, I can make you live worse than death." The men surrounding who was still conscious heard crackling sound, exactly similiar with the sound of a dry branch snapped into parts.

The woman knew some of them was pretending to be unconscious. So, she said with a cold voice that could freese the entire mansion. "After I done dealing with that scum, you are all would be the next.

The men who heard her words frightened by her menacing words. Some of them who were pretending unconscious faint in fear.

The woman walked barefoot with the baton in her hand towards the gate. After she went out of the gate, she turned back and looked at the mansion behind her. "Chu Jiang, just wait. I'll make you become the most disgusting creature." Her lips lifted up in a cold arc. There was only madness in her eyes. She walked forwards under the dazzling ray of sunlight. Slowly disappeared from the sight

....

"Cut." When she heard the word, the woman who was walking barefoot immediately changed her expression. She went to where the director sat.

The director was a middle aged man. He was not fat like what older men would appear. Instead, he was still looked like as if he was in his late thirty. The only thing that could make people discern him was his white hair.

When she got closer, she heard the director praised her. "Yunyao, your acting is on point. This scene is taken beyond my expectations. This is so perfect. Good job. I'll be looking forward to work with you in the future. If I get good scripts, I'll contact you. Okay?" The scene Yunyao just acted was the last scene to take in the movie.

Yunyao nodded. She smiled, "Of course. I'll be looking forward too Director Jiang." It was the first time for Yunyao and Director Jiang working together. But, Yunyao made impressive impression that Director Jiang valued her highly. Yunyao, of course, after hearing Director Jiang words was happy. Who was not happy when a famous director like him would promise her to work in his movie next time?

The director stood up and patted her shoulder. Then he gazed around and spoke to everyone present. "Today is the last day of our shooting. We'll have banquet at Emerald Hotel Retaurant tonight. Everyone must come."

Everyone heard Direct Jiang's sentence. They replied almost simultaneously. "Okay Director."

"Yes Director. "

Everyone then cheered up and talked to each other. Some of them began cleaning up filming equipments while some others were circling the actors and actresses. They fished out their phone to take some picture and brought paper and pen for mementos of the filming.

When the actors and actresses were busy taking pictures and signing their signature, Yunyao talked with someone over her phone. The moment she heard a news from the party on the other end of line, she frowned. She gritted her teeth and said in exasperation, "Ok. I'll do it."
