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."

Smash His Knee!

"I want you....to take this metal bat and smash it against Old Lun's weak knee. I remember he suffered a serious injury that almost had his leg amputated. Strike the bat hard on his knee until I see blood spurting out. I need to see his bone sticking out. Maybe I will be in a better mood to speak about what I want when you do as I say." With a bat in one hand and Selina's hair in his other, he carelessly swung his bat around Selina.

"Why are you doing this? What will you get from doing all of this? Back then, you weren't like this. Why did you change to being this cruel?" Rosanna shouted as her fists trembled in a tight grasp.

"Change? You want to speak about change? Then let me tell you who forced me to get to where I am today! It was you and Eric who betrayed me first! You were my fiancee and him? He was just average in everything compared to me, but you chose him over me! In what ways is he any better than me?" Master Liam thrust the bat forward, pointing the end of the bat to Rosanna.

"I know I hurt you very deeply back then, but later you found your wife whom loved you wholeheartedly. Didn't you two have a son together? You had a happy family and even visited us during my second pregnancy. I thought you've long let everything go already... Why are you bringing it back up?"

Although it was her fault to begin with, she thought he got over it since he had his own marriage and family later on. Throughout her pregnancy, he would bring his wife to visit them as well.

"Hah, did you think I would thank you for not choosing me back then? Let me tell you, my wife already died! She died from being ill and I did not know about any of this until she died! You should have known that the Clover family has the power I need and I have always wanted it! I loved you back then as well. Everything was perfect. I had the woman I love and the power I wanted to get a hold of."

As he spoke, his bat would swing left and right. Everyone didn't dare make a single move as the weapon in his hand could easily slam against Selina's body.

"My wife was sick while I was planning on expanding my connections and power. If I had you as my wife, I wouldn't have to do so much extra work. My wife would still be alive and well. My family would be happy... and today! It would be me having a son and daughter, perhaps even more children! This is all your fault! No...This is all Old Lun's fault! Yes, it is you!"

Swoosh

His bat changed its direction and the end cap aimed at Grandpa Lun. "Master Liam, I told you everything depended on fate. Rosanna had always voiced her disagreement to the engagement between the two of you. You ignored her words and continued being delusional. Even if she didn't meet Eric back then, she would not have married you."

"Lies! She was my fiancee! She was mine! I did love my late wife, but she died. Haha, and you guys? You guys were having the best of your lives with another newborn! Guess what? The people who ambushed you the night of your second child birth were all my men! I wanted you to feel how amazing it is to lose your loved one in front of you. But lucky them! They were taken away."

The strikes became more rapid, eventually strengthening per swing in the air. Sounds of the bat being swung in different directions could be heard just like cars speeding at 150 mph on a highway. It was horrific to watch him carelessly bend his arms with the bat in his hand.

"You were lucky enough that I failed that time. Originally, I was planning to capture your son and daughter when they were young and brainwash them into being my puppet. Your daughter would be my son's fiancee and marry him. I will still obtain the power I want from the Clover family through her. As for your son, he will be listening to my words and complying to my requests. But both of them managed to escape."

Recollections of the past only worsened his mood as he recalled all the bad times. He once had everything in control, but it was all shattered because of Rosanna's change of partner choice. She chose Eric, who had less than he did.

His attention shifted between Rosanna and Eric, eventually focusing on Grandpa Lun. "It was all because of you! Old man Lun! You were the one who introduced them to one another! Without him, she would have been my wife at the end. My wife would still be alive. My family would be as happy as they are now!"

He gnashed his teeth, pointing his bat at Grandpa Lun. As soon as he gestured, Michael subconsciously moved to block Grandpa Lun from Master Liam's view. "My mother wouldn't have fallen for you even if she didn't meet my dad. She still wouldn't have married you because she didn't love you. This has nothing to do with Grandpa Lun."

"And does it matter whether he is involved or not? If I say he is, then he is. Don't forget, I have your precious little Clover princess in my hands. I say he is, then he is. Understand? Now what did I ask for? Ah, right. Here!" Master Liam tossed the bat towards Rosanna's direction. Instinctively, Rosanna moved aside and watched as the bat roll to her side.

"I want to hear the old man's knee cracking to particles. Remember how chewing pork chop bones sound like? I want to hear exactly that. I am aging and my hearing is getting quite bad. So, be nice and make sure I hear everything!" Master Liam spoke as if he had the highest authority amongst them.

"And if we refuse?" Michael's gaze landed on the weapon on the floor. While he formed a plan in his mind, Master Liam's smile stretched wider.

"If you refuse, then...." Master Liam stretched his arm to his fellow underlings beside him. One of them stepped up and placed their bat in his hand.
