Just To Meet You

*COMPLETED* "If you don't believe me, then follow the family rules." Her eyes closed as she faced her fiancé's accusations and distrust. She inwardly convinced herself. 'This is the last time I'm giving my heart to you, Peter. If you choose her, then we are over.' With a blade in his hand, he charged forward. He watched as the sharp tip of the weapon meets her soft, porcelain chest. Shocked by her unmoving body, he pulled the blade away from the broken skin. Her white top was dyed scarlet while the blade had already dropped to the floor, making a "clang" sound. "Why didn't you dodge?!" Peter Sin attempted few steps forward to apply pressure on her wound. It hurt, but she held in her cries. Blood squirted to his sleeve and shirt when he forced the blade out of her wound. Holding the bloody mess near her heart, a broken smile cracked on her face as she retreated away from the man in front of her. "At the end, you still chose her words over mine. You've never believed in me, but it doesn't matter anymore. Let's break up. Even if we pass by each other in the future, we'll be nothing but strangers." He tried approaching her again, but failed as she strode backwards in larger steps than before. "Mister Sin, goodbye." "Selina!" He screamed, but held back from chasing after her lonesome figure. His heart was a mess as he fell onto the ground and stared at the blood stain on his clothes. __________________ Selina Gu drove straight home where she had prepared herself to announce her failed engagement to her mother, Katrina Gu. Pressing her wound, she slowly leaned against the wall to bring herself to the living room where her mom's voice echoed loudly. Selina: "So, all my life..I've been nothing but a chess piece. Are you done with your game?" Katrina: "...Daughter." Selina: "Daughter? Do you know how many years and efforts I've wanted to hear you call me daughter? But all this is fake. Just an act. I've always convinced myself I'm the one who could do better because I wanted to hear a compliment from you. But you? You've forced me to the edge and suffocated me!" _____________________ Katrina: "It's mother's fault! Don't jump. I'm begging you!" Bryan (Selina's brother): "Did you get bullied? Brother will protect you. Please, come back down! It's dangerous to stand at the edge! You don't know how to swim!" "I don't want to play this game anymore. I'm tired of my life. Didn't you want revenge? I'll complete it for you. Sorry, brother." Selina fell forward with her eyes closed. She didn't struggle as she desired to forget everything. ___________________ Assistant: "Mister Hui, after multiple investigations, we have confirmed that the girl you have been searching for is Selina Gu." _________________ Awakening from her coma after a month later, Selina woke up hearing a familiar voice by her side. Although she couldn't recognize him, her instincts told her he wasn't going to harm her. "Selina! You're awake!" Jason Hui tossed his laptop to the table, ditching the video meeting he was in and hugged her. "Does it hurt anywhere? Are you thirsty? Hungry? I'll go get a doctor!" He spat out countless questions, confusing her greatly. ________________ Jason held her hands, "It's okay if you don't remember me. As long as I remember our promise, that's all it matters. I won't let anyone hurt you anymore." _________________ "Jason Hui!" "Wife, if you're not happy about something you just have to say it. No need to shout. You'll get a sore throat." Selina pointed to the rubber band on the counter, "I forgot to tie my hair, but my hands are dirty from marinating meat. Do you know how to tie girl's hair?" A minute later, a messy ponytail was created and Selina looked at him with a speechless expression. Noting to himself on his calendar, he typed, "Learn how to do wife's hair."

Big Gift For You

Jason's parents and sister came home a few hours after Selina had fallen asleep. He gave them a brief summary of what had happened. Worried about Selina, they let him off to look after Selina right after he has said enough for them to connect the dots. At the same time, Celinda saw how upset her parents reacted when they heard about Selina's childhood.

Luckily, Jason's room was soundproof, because the Hui couple were irritated by Selina's mother. Celinda has never seen her parents make the disgusted look on their faces. She was quite surprised by the expression on their faces.

"Mom. Dad. Are you two upset?" She asked.

Julia released a huge sigh. "I can't believe someone would do something like that to their own blood and flesh. Truly disgusting! Selina is such a sweet, innocent girl. Who wouldn't like her? Forget calling that wench, mother! She can call me mother from now on. I'll treat her like how I treat you and your brother. Even better too!"

Nodding, Nick crossed his arms and leaned back on the couch. "I'm seriously thankful Selina didn't end up wicked like that unworthy woman. She is shaming all mothers in the world!"

"Mothers? She is the shame of all women! Who leaves their kid like that? Unbelievable! If I ever meet her, I need to crack some nuts with her head and spit the shells onto her face. How can she be so brainless and cold-hearted? Carrying a child for nine months is very difficult! Some people aren't even blessed to have a child and she's treating her child this way. Shame on her!"

Julia's chest heaved in a bobbing manner as she closed her eyes.

Biting her lips, Celinda asked a question she's been wanting to ask for a while now. "Mom, dad. If someone abuses your children like how Selina's mother did to Selina, what would you do?"

"Hah?! Is this even a question? This is straight up calling the entire family to beat the crap out of that person. Depending on the situation, but abuse is always a huge no. If any of you suffer from any type of abuse, I won't allow it. If I find out, then the person is mashed to ground meat. Maybe even used to make spaghetti sauce for stray dogs!" Julia frowned at the thought of her children suffering from abuse.

Nick let out a humph sound with his lips pressed together. "If anyone abuses my children, they are asking for death. I'll stomp on their neck and crush their bones with my hands. Nobody can bully anyone under my eyes. I'll have them bankrupt and chased to the slums, to drink feet water."

Hearing her parents' response, a huge rock has been lifted off her shoulders. She felt light for the first time since they've came back.

"But honey. Why did you ask the sudden question? Don't tell me Selina was bullied." Julia cracked her knuckles, ready to bring a troop of armed guards to hunt bastards down.

Shaking her head, Celinda smiled. With reddened eyes, she lifted her head to face her parents. "It's not Selina. Actually, I've been wanting to address this to both of you. I just never found the right timing to tell you two the truth. I've divorced with Roger."

She looked at her parents who looked at her with a concerned expression. Still, they remained quiet, letting her finish her story first. She continued. "We..We've never consummated our marriage. On our first night as newlyweds, I found out he has switched my vitamins for anti-depressants. I had many doubts and found out many sides I never saw in him. He was manipulative and abusive to certain extents."

Her body trembled slightly as her hands balled into fists. Licking her bottom lip, she left a short pause between her explanation and pondered whether she should include the gang incident to them. Raising her head, she saw how worried they looked; she decided to keep that incident to herself.

With a small smile, she said. "One night, he added aphrodisiacs to my milk, wanting to make this marriage complete. I managed to escape and find brother for help. Nothing happened between us and brother already dealt with him. But mom, dad..I'm sorry for disappointing you two. I know how happy you two were during my wedding, but I broke your hearts at the end."

"I'm sorry.." Her voice trailed off as tears layered in her eyes.

Before she could react, she found herself sandwiched between her parents. Julia whispered, "My god..sweetie. You must have been through so much on your own. Don't apologize for something that isn't your fault. The only reason why our hearts are hurting, is that you're our daughter. You are not the one at fault. Silly girl, you'll always be our precious baby girl. I'm glad you're alright."

"Sweetheart, we weren't by your side when all of this happened. You must have been so scared. Thank goodness your brother was here for you. I'm so so so glad you're alright. You're all fine and well. That's the most important. If anything like this ever happens again, you need to tell us first thing. Don't keep it to yourself." Nick patted Celinda's back, soothing the trembles from her body.

"Mom. Dad. There's another thing I think you two should know. Peter Sin was Roger's cousin. He was the one who contacted Roger to ask me to bail his parents out. Brother already made Peter Sin's parents stay in cells with the worst people they could ever mess with. Also...Peter Sin used to be Selina's fiancé."

Celinda told them about the incident at the mall where Peter and Shirley bothered Selina. Since Selina could face these bastards for her sake, she could also tell her parents to deal with them. After giving them a walkthrough on things that has happened related to the Sins and Selina, the Hui couple's anger rose.

Cracking the sides of his neck, Nick stretched his limbs. "I'd seen many shameless people, but I've never heard of such scums in society. Peter Sin? Shirley Han? Haha, the Hans were removed from the prestigious list, so they have no power. Shirley Han is merely a vase now. All empty for display. I won't let Peter Sin off. All Sins will be destroyed."

As soon as these words left his mouth, his phone rang. Eric called him to inform him about dropping by Hui Corps tomorrow to have a tour around the company. Nick understood that they would have to face the Clover family sooner or later. Therefore, he agreed to them paying a visit tomorrow afternoon.

After hanging up, he sent Jason a text, letting him know about the arrangements. Jason had just finished brushing his teeth when the message flashed on his screen. Reading his dad's text message, a small smile appeared on his lips.

He climbed under the covers, planted a kiss on Selina's forehead and whispered to her ear. "I have a big gift for you tomorrow. Sleep tight, my dear."

For the entire night, Jason hugged Selina in his arms as they slept.
