Then comes spring when winter ends

*cover is not my picture Jade Lu was brought up by her grandmother, the Matriach of Lu family. Her parents dislike her and thinks she is weird while her siblings saw her as eye sore who took away their grandma's love and attention. Her parents did not know how to deal with Jade who suffers from Asperger's syndrome, a disorder that shows impairment in social and emotional cognition. Under her grandma's support and love, Jade grew up to be beautiful, talented and successful but still socially awkward and a loner. Jade's perfect world crashed when her grandma (Mama Lu) died leaving her all alone in this world along with the Lu business empire. Fate is a strange thing. Just when she thought there is no reason to go on living, she caught the attention of a cold and heartless man. What happens when a socially challenge woman meets an ice cube? Can they find solace in each other presence? Can he protect her from her vicious family members that hated her? Excerpt from one of the chapter in this story: Derek: Then I'll be there. Since that night, I have made my mind up that I'll be wherever you need me to be. Jade: Are you sure, you are the same rumoured Derek Lee, the demon prince, cold, unfeeling, vicious and etc. The list is just too long for me to type out. Oh, I forgot to add, man of few words. From the moment, we met I think you spoke more than I did. You are quite a talker. Are you an imposter? ? Derek : Before this I never met someone like you. Those people that I meet usually don't deserve this side of me. Maybe when a demon meet a demoness the effect is opposite? ? Well, you are one to talk as well, aren't you the ice queen? The one who dislike physical contact but who is it that loves my chest so much? ? Jade: Well.. when an ice cube meets the ice queen in a place like Sahara desert, won't the ice melt? Go to sleep, okay? I am ?. Sweet dreams. another excerpt: "Ok, I accept. Are we friends? You will be my first ever friend then" "To be honest, I want to be more than friends but I'll take it slow but since knowing you I can't help sigh that I am no longer young." She looked at him in disbelief with eyes wide open. "Am I scaring you?" "Mm, you mean to say, you want to be more than friends? Meaning?" "I always wanted to do this" He said as he closed in on her face and his lips met hers when he lifted her chin up and kissed her. He was clumsy because it was his first time and she was as clueless as him. They followed their instinct instead. He slipped in his tongue when she parted her lips and they stopped when accidentally bit his lower lip and tasted the metallic flavour of blood. They were left breathless. "If we were only friends, I am not allow to do that or hold you real close to me..... p/s this is my second attempt at writing, I deleted my first story due to lack of public interest and lack of proper planning on my behalf. however, this story is different because it is definitely more structured and written with an extra passion.

Showdown (IV)

No one pay attention to the screeching woman, her subordinates were too stunned to move. Once Heather started to take out her gun, only then they started to run about like headless chickens. Nothing they did could switched the screen off, she shot at some of the screens but to only realised that everyones mobile phones were turned on and the exact video was playing. Everyone held their hands up to indicate none of them actually did anything to their phones and it was controlled remotely by someone else. Once the video ended, there was a message for Heather, it was a present from Jade and the message was, "I hope you like it, how does it feel to be exposed to the whole world, must have felt great because you did the exact same thing!"

Heather screamed like a mad woman, everyone else could only stare, her crimes were all exposed and some incriminating evidence were even present. Worst of all, her sexual orientation was revealed, now no one would respect her any longer! This is Russia for fuck sake, not the States. She could feel those men looking at her mockingly, her plans to takeover and conquer is in shambles. Jade Lu!!!! Derek Lee!!!! In anger, she shot at the fuse box, because she just wanted the screens to switch off because Jade's message was glaring at her at so many angles. She felt she lost face and did not know where to put her face.

"So what??? Those of you here, your heart are as black as mine. Some of you are closet paedophiles, some of you are adulterers, so what I am a lesbian??? What makes any of you nobler than I am??? Since, we have reached this point, I am still going to ask my men, are you willing to follow me?" Heather desperately asked trying to salvage the situation. She then tried to activate her laser show hoping that it would override the system, and just like Derek hoped, a blackout happened.

It was the moment Derek had been waiting for. Derek's ground men reported the situation to Derek. Derek's team quickly use the opportunity they were waiting for to disable the bomb surrounding the base to make their underground entrance. It was a success, they are now in. In 10 seconds, the back up generator started doing its job. Lights were switched on.

The head clans took the opportunity to subdue Heather's men and made their escape.

Heather let out a maniacal laugh observing the out of control situation in front of her. Damn the couple, you may have won this round. We will see the next round. She did not realised that most of her men looked at her with such hatred, they witnessed some of the gang brothers were shot dead like nothing in her fit of rage. In the past, those who witnessed her fit of anger never lived past a day. Dead men can't talk, Heather's principle.

She started giving orders to her men, but she realised they just stared at her without moving. She wanted to shoot when the man she was about to shoot speak up, "Just shoot every single one of us, then you lead you own clan and be your leader and do everything yourself. I refuse to follow any longer. You are a psycho.....

Bang!!! Just like that, he was killed. Another person spoke up and had the same fate. It continued like that till 20 of her men were lying in a pool of blood. Micah, one of her men, could not take it anymore, was about to aim and shoot at Heather, but before he could release the trigger, a loud bang echo and bunch of men in army uniform appeared and the leader of the pack, look very much like Brad Pitt during his prime years but Chinese looking.

Back in Beijing, Jade stood there motionlessly, the men surrounding her all did not know how to handle the situation, they are all single, and every time they had endure eating dog food when the couple are together. Jade stood there for quite some time until a familiar hand reached out and held her shoulder.

"My child, your water broke, you need to rush to the hospital, we need to make sure my grandson is fine."

She looked up to see a familiar face and figure but a glass shard was embedded in his left eye, it was such a eerie image. Tears mixed blood were flowing down his left eye. She gasped in horror.

"Father, your eye..." Jade could not finish her sentence.

"It's fine, at most, I'm blind in an eye. It is a small injury, to be able to preserve this life of mine is already considered a miracle. One of the guard lost his life protecting me." He said in a very sad tone.

Father Lee had prioritised Jade's safety and had made sure enough guards follow her to ensure her safety all the way. If it wasn't for the young man in front of him who pushed him into the bomb shelter the very last minute, he would have ended up in a million pieces as well. He walked with a limp because a big shard of glass was embedded in his leg, he was so lucky that it narrowly missed his femoral artery, if not, he would have lost a limb and likely his life from bleeding.

The ambulance and medical back up arrived timely and those heavily injured including Jade and Father Lee were transported to the military hospital.

I kept thinking if it makes sense. Then again, this is fictional but I wanted so badly to simulate a real life event. Maybe next book. Conflicted if I should start on a next book.
