He stared down her head. Lena raised her arm and put her hand in front of it. "Can I touch?" Without even approving, Lena touched it. First, she poked on it like it was some exotic species, then she gently placed her entire hand on it. He could feel her warm hand on his cold body. It sent a warm tingle throughout his body. "Does it hurt?" Lena asked. "No. Pain is just an emotion in the brain. I might feel it at first, but I already learned how to avoid the pain, hiding it away." Lena stood up, standing in front of him. "Sorry I was rude. You can see mine too." "What? I don't want --" Lena lifted her shirt up a bit but he grabbed her hands to stop and pulled the shirt back down. "I don't need to see it." "But, mine's pretty. You need to see it!" "I really don't want to see it." "Are you calling it ugly too?! No it's pretty, I promise!" —————— The picture is from Pinterest... something I just grabbed for covers.

Fiance and Ex-Fiance

Henry arrived back at the event area as fast as he could. Shen Mao and Shen Milli rushed to him right away when they say him back.

"How was the situation out there?" Shen Mao asked.

"I think something happened to Lena." Henry replied. "Have you got in contact with her yet?"

"No. I have called her and both of the guards with her. No answer."

"What about the third one?"

"That's right! I have forgotten about Noah."

Shen Mao urgently dialed Noah. Noah was enjoying a quiet family dinner when he received the call.

"CEO Shen." Noah answered.

"Noah. Have you heard anything from James or Kye?"

"I have not, sir. Did something happen?"

"We don't know for sure."

"If can access the security reports and check their locations."

"Yes, please!"

"Please wait a moment." Noah excused himself from dinner and went to his office. He opened up his laptop and quickly pulled up the app locator.

Lena's signal was out of service, James was still active, but Kye's… 'This is bad.'

"Sir, James signal is still on and moving. I can connect the call."

Noah dialed up James' number. I rang a few times and it was finally answered.

"Is Lena there with you?" Shen Mao quickly asked as soon as the call was connected.

Noah was just carefully listening. 'There was no sound of struggling or shooting, so it must be a good sign right?'

"James?!" He yelled through the phone when he didn't get a response.

An unsteady and deep voice could be heard through the phone. "I am sorry CEO Shen, Miss has been taken again."

Shen Mao was suddenly shorter of breath. 'Not again, not his precious little daughter.' Shen Milli was close to breaking down in tears but she held strongly next to her husband.

"Husband, breathe. Take deep breaths. Lena will be fine, she's a smart girl." Shen Milli tried to console her husband.

"Where's Kye?" Noah asked through the phone.

"We chased after the car but got ambushed along the way. We lost her. There were some crossfires and… He didn't make it."

"Stay there. We will come to you." Noah replied.

"Noah... " James was about to say something more but stopped knowing that it might scare more of CEO Shen and Madam Shen. "Be here quick."

"Ugh…" Lena groaned as she regained consciousness. She tried to touch the spot where she was hit on the back but her hands were tied. She wiggled around a bit on the hard floor, trying to get comfortable. The room was dark except for a flickering light bulb that was hanging from the center of the ceiling. She heard a woman who kept whimpering and sniffling on the corner opposite of her.

"Lena?" Gary called out to her.

"Gary?" Lena blinked a few times to adjust to the darkness. "Where are we?" She finally recalled the situation she was in.

"I don't know… God dammit would you stop crying!"

It was the first time that Lena saw Gary spoke so loud. Their mouths were not shut closed, and considering there are no windows, they must be deep underground somewhere. This may be bad news because her tracker may not have any signal down here.

The woman started crying louder instead. Gary ignored the cries and looked back at Lena who seemed pretty calm. How could he forget, this was not the first time she was in a situation like this.

"Eva?" Lena got a good look at the girl across her. She remembered that Eva was wearing a simple white dress just as the woman across her. Along with her sweet and high cries, it was definitely Eva.

"I…. I…" Eva kept crying loudly and could not finish her sentence.

"She's been like that since they brought her in." Gary sounded very irritated at the situation.

"Why is she here? Why are you here?" Lena asked.

"Sorry, Lena. I did not think you would get involved in my mess. I--"

The door that locks them in fiercely opened. Two men strode in. A bright light entered their dark room from the hallway. Lena looked up to see her captors.

Eva hurriedly went down and started begging. She held onto the man's leg. "Please.... Please let me go. I.. I won't do it again, I promise! Wahhh… Tell her I won't do it again!"

"Stupid peasant." The man shook his leg off Eva's begging hands. He stared straight to Lena. "And here I thought we were going to have another crying b*tch."

Lena stared gently at this man. She knew that if James and Kye were not here by now, her captors were professionals. And whatever they wanted with Gary and Eva, she was just a bystander, who could easily be discarded.

She knew she could not play the strong card here. She lowered her head and look down on the floor, making herself look weak.

"Please... Please don't hurt me." She pretended to stutter. "I am Lena Shen, my family is rich. They will surely pay for me." Her bright eyes looked up at the man.

The man slapped Lena right across her face. She did not expect that.

"Lena! Don't you F*cken touch her!" Gary yelled and struggled but he was tied up really good. Unlike Eva and Lena, Gary's hands were tied to some pipes.

The man laughed and grabbed Lena's hair and pulled it back so she was staring right at his face. Lena saw that he had a scar under his eyes.

"Is that the trick you played last time, hmm? Is that how you got away? Won't work here missy." He snickered.

Lena did not reply. At this point, she knew why Eva was here. Eva was just a tool and someone bigger was behind this all. Eva was involved in her last kidnapping, not as the mastermind, but to be the scapegoat. This was her unsolved piece of the puzzle.

The big question now is, 'Who is "her."' Lena could only think of one person who was strong enough to be the one pulling the strings. With the proof of Eva and this man, whom Lena know exactly who he was, that "her" could not be anyone else but Madam Yang.

"Pity, because I will make sure you die today, along with your boyfriend too." The man spoke. The man pushed Lena down on the floor. He straightened up his stance, pulled out his gun and licked it.

"Now, who should go first? The fiance," He pointed the gun to Eva."ex-fiance," This time toward Lena. "or half-brother."

"What?" Lena spoke without a thought. The man was pointing the gun at Gary.

The man maniacally laughed. "Didn't your boyfriend tell yah? He shares the same mommy as your ex-fiance."
