*cover is not my picture Jade Lu was brought up by her grandmother, the Matriach of Lu family. Her parents dislike her and thinks she is weird while her siblings saw her as eye sore who took away their grandma's love and attention. Her parents did not know how to deal with Jade who suffers from Asperger's syndrome, a disorder that shows impairment in social and emotional cognition. Under her grandma's support and love, Jade grew up to be beautiful, talented and successful but still socially awkward and a loner. Jade's perfect world crashed when her grandma (Mama Lu) died leaving her all alone in this world along with the Lu business empire. Fate is a strange thing. Just when she thought there is no reason to go on living, she caught the attention of a cold and heartless man. What happens when a socially challenge woman meets an ice cube? Can they find solace in each other presence? Can he protect her from her vicious family members that hated her? Excerpt from one of the chapter in this story: Derek: Then I'll be there. Since that night, I have made my mind up that I'll be wherever you need me to be. Jade: Are you sure, you are the same rumoured Derek Lee, the demon prince, cold, unfeeling, vicious and etc. The list is just too long for me to type out. Oh, I forgot to add, man of few words. From the moment, we met I think you spoke more than I did. You are quite a talker. Are you an imposter? ? Derek : Before this I never met someone like you. Those people that I meet usually don't deserve this side of me. Maybe when a demon meet a demoness the effect is opposite? ? Well, you are one to talk as well, aren't you the ice queen? The one who dislike physical contact but who is it that loves my chest so much? ? Jade: Well.. when an ice cube meets the ice queen in a place like Sahara desert, won't the ice melt? Go to sleep, okay? I am ?. Sweet dreams. another excerpt: "Ok, I accept. Are we friends? You will be my first ever friend then" "To be honest, I want to be more than friends but I'll take it slow but since knowing you I can't help sigh that I am no longer young." She looked at him in disbelief with eyes wide open. "Am I scaring you?" "Mm, you mean to say, you want to be more than friends? Meaning?" "I always wanted to do this" He said as he closed in on her face and his lips met hers when he lifted her chin up and kissed her. He was clumsy because it was his first time and she was as clueless as him. They followed their instinct instead. He slipped in his tongue when she parted her lips and they stopped when accidentally bit his lower lip and tasted the metallic flavour of blood. They were left breathless. "If we were only friends, I am not allow to do that or hold you real close to me..... p/s this is my second attempt at writing, I deleted my first story due to lack of public interest and lack of proper planning on my behalf. however, this story is different because it is definitely more structured and written with an extra passion.
She could hear them say "Don't bother her, she is no fun, she is a defect, she is weird, you might get infected if you get close to her". These were some of the hurtful words that was thrown to her face like her existence did not matter. Her parents words were still fresh in her memory even though that conversation that she happened to eavesdrop not intentionally took place 25 years ago when she was at a tender age of 2 years old.
That particular night she woke up from sleep to get her water bottle that was placed on a table near her room door and was greeted by hushed whispering between her parents. They were standing outside her room door hesitating to enter and in the end, they ended up discussing about her.
"This daughter is not normal, no matter how I try to love her, I can't and sometimes I feel like she is being possessed by another being. She doesn't speak, she doesn't like to be touch and she fancies puzzles and number"
"Nonsense. I agree she is weird but I don't think she is possessed."
"She always has that intense stare in addition to her expressionless face. I have this feeling that my soul will be snatched by her if I continue looking into her blue eyes and I might die an early death"
"We've been standing here for God knows how long and we still standing here. Are we entering?"
"I don't want to. I don't think it matters. She doesn't seem to have any emotions. I wish that she was never born then I won't have to deal with this."
"Why don't we just make more? I am sure not all will turn out like her."
She then heard her mother giggled and they just left. She understood their every words, she is already a genius at that age but they just can't see her potential because they were too worried she is weird. She wanted to respond to them but somehow that programming part of her brain wasn't working.
She did not cry when she entered the world and she did not even make a sound until she was 5 years old. Her family thought she was mute and deaf but in actual fact she is just so sensitive to sound and even to sounds that people can't hear. Their jeers and mockery just jab her heart and soul but she just can't respond to them. She just don't know how and she hated their touch. She felt that they were rough and unfeeling towards her.
She started walking at the age of 6 months and since then she would squirmed her way out of her parents grip and hold. She could understand human language clearly at the age of 4 months and it was since then she had some understanding that her parents see her like an alien. She is the eldest of 3 siblings but none showed any care or love towards her. Instead she was alienated and shunned.
They were embarrassed of her existence. She knew that the presence of her other siblings brought comfort to her parents because she heard them rejoice in delighted tone that they were not like her. NOT LIKE HER. She is their biggest regret and mistake.
