Broken promises and broken hearts (PG WARNING)
Shen's face softened, as did his voice. Perhaps he had been too harsh. They hadn't even talked the whole week, and the first thing he did was to yell at her.
She had also been looking for him so early in the morning, right after he had left to go to the office. And he had left her alone again.
A wave of guilt washed over Shen.
He hadn't been paying attention to her feelings. He had barred her from a social life, or a work life. Furthermore, he had been completely unavailable, leaving her to find solace in the company of only her assistant, the butler and the housekeeper.
Was he bad husband?
But she was his most precious treasure. And how else could he protect her, but to keep her in his fortress where nothing could hurt a hair on her head.
He suddenly pulled her into his chest. Her tiny body seemed more frail than ever now, even though he had recently seen the true strength she possessed.
