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."

Bryan Needs To Die

On his way back home, Ken spoke to Fanny in a relieved tone. He couldn't believe the Hans would be easily convinced with his words!

Fanny asked, "Well? How did it go? Did the Hans say anything when you told them about Bryan's plan?"

Ken laughed heartily, "Ah! It went very well. I told them Bryan still wanted to kidnap Shirley and hold her accountable for Selina's death. They believed my words and thought that he was going nuts. So, the Han family are on our side. I'm just the messenger between them. None of them would suspect my set up."

Fanny took a deep breath and stuttered. "But what if Bryan finds out about our plan? He is the ruler of the underworld! Isn't the Han family afraid of him? Why would they easily agree to proceeding with their plans?"

Grinning to his screen, he replied to her inquiry. "I didn't tell them his identity. They think of him as a fool; a clown who doesn't know his place. They're planning to teach him a lesson. If he resists, then they might even kill him and let him rot on the streets! Knowing Bryan's arrogant nature, he would definitely fight back."

Fanny gasped, "Isn't teaching him a lesson enough? It'll be a bit too far if they kill him! We'll be indirectly his murderer. I just wanted to teach him a lesson, so that he would stay away from us. I never thought Anthony Han would think of such a bold plan!"

He shook his head as his wife's naive mindset. "Wife, if he doesn't die, then it'll be us who will meet the grim reaper. Think about it. We are lower in status compared to both families. If we don't use this chance to kill off Bryan, we will be the ones in trouble. Honestly, I also don't want to do this, but I have no choice."

Hearing the continuous hesitation in her voice, he grunted as he kept his eyes on the road. "You're hesitating! You can't accomplish anything big if you aren't ruthless to your enemies. Bryan must die or else he will come back to get revenge on us. It's cruel, but it's the survival rule. The weakest will hit rock bottom and strongest will last till the end. Do you want Peter to be his next target?"

"No! Not Peter! I can't let anyone hurt our Peter. Fine. Just...Just get this whole thing over with. Time will fade our guilt. I'll burn him more incense sticks and other necessities after he dies!" Fanny changed her mind after hearing Peter's name.

"That's right! He must die! Even if Bryan escapes from the Han family's wrath, he will hunt them down for revenge. It has nothing to do with me. If he ends up dead, then too bad for him. It isn't easy to trample over the Han family! Only Bryan would dare challenge them." He gritted his teeth and sped down the highway.

Meanwhile, at the W bridge, a man in his 20's placed down a bouquet of flowers. His eyes were filled with sorrow as he chugged down a bottle of juice that Selina used to love drinking. He wiped his mouth using his sleeve and turned the bottle upside down.

"Selina, your brother Michael is back. When you were still alive, I've never drank juice with you. You've always wanted to have me try it, but I always rejected because it was too sweet. Right now, I finished every drop of it. Unless someone finds your body or else, I won't give up. I won't listen to what others tell me. I will only believe my own eyes."

He leaned against the rail and looked at the waters below. "I don't know what happened to you, but your brother, Alfred and I will find all those responsible for your jump. I'll have them pay for everything they've done to you. Just like Alfred, to me, you're always my little sister. Now that you've run into trouble, brother will avenge for you."

As he continued enjoying the scenery and thinking about Selina, he overheard a loud voice nearby. A photographer was talking on the phone while snapping shots of nature. The closer he walked, the louder his voice pierced through Michael's ear.

"Yeah! I was surprised too! I was taking pictures a little over a month ago and snapped pictures of the girl falling! Not much longer after her jump, a group of people saved her and took off. Too bad I couldn't take a picture of the guy's face. He looked pretty handsome even though he was wet. That girl is so lucky. He looked rich."

The timing of Selina's jump was very close to this stranger's description! A month ago, only Selina had jumped down the bridge. Without a second thought, Michael grabbed the stranger's collar and prevented him from leaving.

"You said you were here a month ago and took pictures of a girl jumping off the bridge. Where are the pictures?!"The blood in his body boiled as he thought of Selina being brought away by strangers. Nobody reported finding her body! Someone was covering up their tracks. She could be alive!

"I..I.. Let me go first. I'll show you it after you let go of me. I can't breathe!" The man struggled as his feet struggled to touch the ground. Michael slowly released his grip and waited for the man to show him the pictures.

The pictures were captured in the slow-motion mode. As Michael continued observing picture by picture, his eyes turned red as tears stung his vision. Another group of people saved her! Someone carried her out of the waters!

In the middle of reviewing the pictures, a thought crossed his mind as he recalled one of his buddies talking about some suspicious activities a few months ago. He quickly dialed a number on his phone to confirm his thoughts. After fifteen minutes into the conversation, his body trembled greatly.

Sweat droplets layered on his forehead as he decided to contact Bryan. For some reason, he wasn't picking up after his fifth attempted call. After hearing the automatic message again, he frustratedly hung up and dialed another familiar set of numbers.

The man immediately picked up the call after the second ring. "Hello? Michael?"

"Alfred! Is Bryan with you?"
