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."

Jewelry Box (Edited)

"Thank you for coming tonight. I hope you enjoyed your time." Jason shook hands with one of the investors who contributed to the art project. After the last guest had left, Jason took a deep breath. Checking the time, he realized it was already 11:30 P.M. It took him a little more than half an hour to thank everyone who attended the event tonight.

He walked up the stairs and took out the key card to the hotel room where Selina was resting in. When he turned the corner on the second floor, he bumped into Rosanna and Eric. Apparently, they were already dressed and ready to leave.

"Mom. Dad. I thought you guys left already after catching Justin and his father. Did you two leave something behind?" Jason smiled when he met his in-laws.

Rosanna shook her head. "Actually, we were waiting for you. Before we leave, we want to let you know that we've decided to end Peter once and for all tonight. He has some connections to Justin and Justin's father. You don't have to wake Selina up nor show up to see the bloody scenes. I know Selina drank red wine tonight and you're tired from the event. Remember to rest well."

Jason nodded in response to her words. "Thank you for letting me know. Should I tell Selina about this?"

Eric exchanged a glance with Rosanna. After pondering for a few minutes, the two of them shook their heads. Eric replied, "if she asks in the future, we will tell her the truth. If she doesn't ask about him, then don't mention his name in front of her anymore. We know how poorly he treated her when they were in a relationship in the past. Anyway, it's getting late. Get home safe with Selina."

"Alright. Get home safe too. Let me know if you need any assistance. I will always be available if you need anything. Have a good night." Jason smiled and stepped aside to let his in-laws leave first.

Rosanna chuckled and waved her hand at him. "Good night, dear."

Selina was still in deep slumber when he entered the hotel room. Her sleeping expression looked so comfortable that he didn't have the heart to wake her up. After making sure he didn't leave anything in the room, he carried Selina out.

Jason's lips twitched the second he turned the corner of the hallway. He called out to the person in front of him in the lowest volume possible. "Bryan."

Hearing someone whispering his name, Bryan turned around to see Jason carrying Selina in his arms. At the same time, Jason's eyes landed on Celinda, who was also asleep. Exchanging a nod with one another, they gave each other a small head shake as if they sympathized the other's situation.

"Brother-in-law." Bryan smiled when he called out to Jason.

"Hmm?" Jason looked confused for a split second when he heard the way Bryan had addressed him just now. He realized Bryan had been Selina's brother for nearly her entire life. Therefore, the way he addressed him wasn't considered wrong.

Jason walked up to Bryan and frowned when he noticed his sister's cheek looking flushed. Following his line of sight, Bryan reassured him that everything was fine with her. "She accidentally drank a glass of wine earlier. She'll be fine after a good rest. I'll take good care of her."

At this moment, Jason really wanted to laugh. If these two ladies weren't with them right now, he would've patted Bryan's back. "Then I leave my sister in your care. She has such low alcohol tolerance."

Bryan blinked twice after hearing Jason's casual response. "Haha. I could say the same thing back to you. Also, how could you trust me that easily? You're not afraid that I'll take advantage of Celinda?"

"You took care of Selina as an older brother for many years. I trust your personality. Plus, you two are dating. If something does happen and my sister comes crying to me about it, I'll make sure you lose your third leg." Jason jokingly snickered.

"Brother-in-law. Wait for me." Bryan followed after Jason, who had walked past him already.

Bryan separated from Jason after exiting the hotel venue. After carefully placing Celinda in the passenger seat, he adjusted the angle of her chair. Once the chair was at a comfortable angle for her to rest on, he closed the passenger door and headed to the driver's seat.

While getting into his car, a jewelry box dropped out of his pocket and landed on the door mat under the driver's seat. Anxiously, he bent down to pick it up. Once he retrieved the jewelry box, he opened it to make sure the diamond ring inside wasn't damaged.

"Phew. Got me scared for a second. It took me a month to get you in my hands. If you get scratched or damaged now, I'll have nothing to show her during our vacation." Bryan whispered as his eyes wandered to Celinda's smiling face. "When we go on vacation, I'll ask you this question."

He snapped out of his daze when a sudden buzz interrupted his thoughts.

"Hmm? Michael texted me." He mumbled, reading the notification on his lock screen.

Text message:

Michael: "We're dealing with Justin, Justin's dad and Peter tonight. Do you want to join us later?"

Bryan tapped his fingers for a minute and looked at Celinda before backspacing some words. He replied, "No. Handle Peter and Justin well. I need to take care of Celinda. Remember to beat them up for me."

Once his message was successfully delivered to Michael, Bryan began driving back home. On the ride back to his place, he noticed that the temperature in the car wasn't warm enough for her. Stopping at a red light, he took off his blazer and covered her torso.

Meanwhile, in the underground dungeon of the Clover's residence, Justin, Justin's father and Peter were kneeling on the ground with their heads pulled backwards. As soon as Rosanna took a seat and poured herself a drink, Eric nodded to the guards in front of them.

Receiving the signals, the guards released the prisoners' heads and stepped aside. The second Peter's head was released, he inhaled a deep breath and found Rosanna's face very familiar. He remembered her voice and the way she looked at him with despise in her eyes.

After the incident at the bridge, his eyes were severely injured, and surgery was necessary to recover his sight. He didn't understand why the enemies would kidnap him, yet help him recover. During the time he was locked in the cell, many thoughts crossed his mind.

The final conclusion he had in his thoughts led back to Selina. He thought she wanted to scare him and then persuade other people to release him from this dungeon. He also believed that she was still in love with him and would ask to get back together. Unfortunately, for him, this dream of his shattered a few hours.
