“Isn’t That Convenient.”

"Li Dai Lu? What the fuck are you doing here?" demanded a voice as soon as Liu Wei opened the door to the conference room for me. I was startled. This was the first time in two lifetimes that anyone had called my name like that. Like they knew me.

And then it hit. My stomach twisted so badly that the pain almost knocked the air from my lungs and my legs almost gave out. I would have collapsed to the ground if Chen Zi Han hadn't quickly wrapped his arms around me. Pinning me against his chest, I listened to his heartbeat, not noticing the reaction of my other men.

Liu Wei and Wang Chao slide in front of me protecting me from the eyesight of whoever knew me in this room while Liu Yu Zeng stood beside Chen Zi Han, protecting my back. I knew they could feel my pain, but I didn't know how to stop it nor could I spend the energy worrying about it.
