The predicament of the love rival

Someone rightly said 'loving someone who doesn't love you back is like hugging a cactus. The tighter you hold on, the more it hurts.'

Chen Yuling had loved Long Jie for as long as she could remember. She never asked for anything in life except for him. But what she didn't realize was her love for him would always be unrequited because he would never return her feelings.

Another victim of unrequited love said' Loving someone who doesn't love you back is like waiting for a bus at the airport. As funny as it sounds, it was true to some extent.

Chen Yuling's daydream of marrying Long Jie was finally broken but the stupid heart would never acknowledge the fact, no matter what. She was breaking things the way Liu Shishi's news broke her heart. Earlier, when the engagement was announced, they thought it was just an engagement but now the sudden news of Long Jie's marriage severed the remaining thread of her sanity.

"Ahhh." Chen Yuling grabbed the vase and threw it on the floor. Her room was in the wreckage, just like her spirit, she broke each and every object lying in front of her.

"Why?Why?" She waved her hand through her hair and clenched it tightly. The broken shred of glass pricked her foot.

"Sister-"

"Don't complete the sentence. You are a liar shishi," Chen Yuling yelled. Her sister was a liar, manipulator, and cheat. She trusted her but what she got in return.

Liu Shishi saw blood trickling down Chen Yuling's foot as she trudged bare feet on the floor.

" I told you Liu Shishi, if I don't get Long Jie, I will take Long Yuan away from you. Didn't I?" Chen Yuling let out a sinister laugh as she spoke. "But you betrayed my trust. Didn't you?

"I'm sorry sister. But my mother-in-law had no idea the wedding was two days away. I was informed today. I told you as soon as I found out." Liu Shishi said as tears streamed down her eyes wetting her cheeks.

"No, Liu Shishi. You can't fool me with your tears. I'm not your idiot mother-in-law. "Chen Yuling marched towards her, there were no emotions in her eyes, neither anger nor disappointment. She caught Liu Shishi's neck in her hand and clasped lightly ." I'm Chen Yuling, do you think that woman deserves my man? Long Jie is mine. He has been mine since the time I saw him. He's mine. Just mine."

"Do you get it?" Chen Yuling pressed on her neck tightly.

"I do." Liu Sishi was in pain but she held back her emotions. She was aware of what kind of monster Chen Yuling was.

" I need information on the woman now." Chen Yuling said as she released Liu Shishi on the floor.

"I know nothing about her. Not even her name. She is a mystery even to my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law hates her, so she never tried to know her name." Liu Shishi answered quickly afraid of offending her further.

" Sister Yuling, my mother-in-law quite likes you. Why don't you entice her to marry brother Jie to you? she is brother Jie's mother after all." Liu Shishi said softly.

" What a stupid girl you are! but you don't disappoint me because I already know you're an idiot. Tell me Liu Shishi, if your mother-in-law's acknowledgment matters, will that woman dares to enter the threshold of Long family? She's a fool like you. " Chen Yuling had seen what kind of woman Song Lily was.

"What can we do now Sister Yuling? The wedding is in two days. How can we stop it?"

"Think of a way Liu Shishi if you want long Yuan. If I can't get long Jie what rights you have to get your love?"Chen Yuling gritted through her teeth.

"Sister Yuling, please you know how much I love him." Liu Shishi begged.

"What about me Shishi? Do you know how long

I have loved him? I achieved everything to be equivalent to him. I never dated because they were not him. I even did things that were against my morals just to get him? Tell me shishi what about me? " Chen Yuling said.

" I gave you an idea sister last time. But you didn't act upon that." Liu Shishi tried to defend her. But as Chen Yuling said she was an idiot, her idea did nothing but infuriated the already enraged Chen Yuling.

" I am a woman of character not a whore who will steep so low to sleep with him to get him. I want him to want me, hold me, and love me the way I do. In short, I'm not you Shishi." Chen Yuling said.

"Get out of my sight Liu Shishi, if you cherish your life."

After few minutes...

"Hello?"

"I'm ready for what you offered but this wedding can't happen." Chen Yuling said to the person on the other side.

"Do as I said. And then there won't be any wedding." The other person said and disconnected the call.

"You are just mine Long Jie." Chen Yuling whispered looking at her wallpaper and kissed it softly.
