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."

Save Lia!

"You said she is pregnant? Wait, but this video...there is so much blood loss already. We can't tell where she is injured. I'll get my medical team ready to receive her. I'll track this bastard and see his location. Before that, Selina, you must remain calm. Right now, we already have one captured patient. You're also pregnant, so please try your best to remain calm." Jason held her shoulders when he spoke, looking straight into her eyes.

Before she could respond, Rosanna's voice reverberated the room. "Jason is right. Dear, you are also pregnant. What will we do if you are in an anxious state and something happens to you and your baby? For Lia's sake, you must keep calm. Mommy will stay here with you while the rest of them deal with this situation, alright?"

Rosanna, Eric, Michael, and Bryan entered the room. The men in the room all nodded in agreement with Rosanna's words. Selina felt reassured at the sight of most of her family's presence. "Okay. I will try my best to keep calm, but you guys cannot hide any details from me. I want to read and hear every conversation forward with this bastard!"

"Deal." Jason quickly complied with her request. Under everyone's vigilant gaze, he typed a response to the anonymous sender. Within seconds, the sender sent them a voice message briefly telling them what he wanted. Unfortunately, the sender used a voice changer device to alter his voice. Therefore, it was difficult to recognize whose voice it belonged to.

Jason's message: Who are you? What do you want from sending us that video?

Anonymous sender's voice message: Hello, Selina and everyone who is listening to me right now. I know who you all are. Haha, at this point you must have watched the exciting punishment video I sent you earlier. Aren't you curious about who I am? Oh, and of course, our main course is Lia. Did you enjoy the view of her bloody whips? I wonder how many more whips it'll take for it to reach her bones? If you want to save her, then be my guest. My condition is for Selina, Rosanna Clover, Eric Clover, Michael, and Old Lun to come to get her yourselves. In an hour, all of you need to arrive at 76 Sonodover Road. Turn to the far right and you will find an abandoned factory. Better come with just yourselves. If I find out anyone is following any of you, Lia will die immediately. None of you will escape unscathed.

The voice message disappeared after it was played. The only text that was delivered to the chat was the address they were told to go to.

Right when Jason planned to object to the idea of Selina going, he found her hand tightly gripping his. Her eyes pleaded for his agreement. She whispered, "please. I must go. Lia needs our help."

"But you're pregnant! I know this is selfish of me, but I cannot have you risk your and our baby's life. What if something happens to you?" Jason voices his unwillingness, reciprocating her hand gesture.

"Dear…" Rosanna looked at Eric and bit her lip. He reassuringly patted the back of her hand and mouthed two words. "It's him."

Rosanna cast a vicious gaze downwards as if she wanted to hide her emotions from others. However, Michael caught sight of his mother's expression.

"Mom, do you guys know him?" He asked.

Rosanna sighed, turning her attention to her children. "Jason, there is no way to escape this time. I can only tell you that I will use my life to protect Selina and her baby. We must save Lia as she was dragged into this. Please. I will explain everything on the way."

"Not just her, we will look after Selina and protect her at all cost as well." Eric stepped forward, reaching out to embrace his wife's shoulder. Michael also gave Jason a stern look and nodded.

"Okay. The man said nobody can follow you guys, but he didn't mention spy cameras. I have prepared micro cameras that are as small as a button as accessories for all of you. If anything happens, I will interfere immediately. This is my condition. My team will try to track down that anonymous a*shole as you guys head to the location. You guys should go after putting these on."

Jason quickly had one of his men carry a box of customized accessories that looked like daily necessities. For Rosanna and Selina, their spy cameras were set on their earrings and necklace. As for the men, they had their micro-cameras on their belts and the zipper of their pants.

Though embarrassing, buttoned shirts and watches were too overrated for micro camera installation use. Compared to other micro cameras in the market, the ones Jason prepared for them were specially made for such situations. Hence, no machinery can detect its existence.

"Ready?" Jason asked Selina. Seeing her nod instantly, he planted a peck on her forehead. "Stay safe and come back to me early. I'm waiting for you."

"En! I will come back in time for dinner. Make sure to have my favorite seafood. I'll come back and eat you poor!" Selina made a cheering fist gesture.

"No problem. You can have all the seafood you want." He sighed as he walked the whole group out of the hospital.

"Are you guys picking up Grandpa Lun?" Jason remembered Michael mentioning him earlier. Since he was also one of the targets this time, they must bring him there. When Grandpa Lun heard about Lia's news, he agreed to join them in a heartbeat to meet the bastard who kidnapped Lia.

"No, he said he will meet us there. We will meet him in front of the abandoned factory and proceed from there." Michael replied.

"Hold on, you forgot to take your phone." Jason handed the phone over to Selina.

"Then, we will go now." Selina turned around and settled in the backseat of her parent's vehicle. Likewise, Michael followed after her and sat next to her while his parents sat in the front.
