 The bar owner didn’t say much to Zheng coming back. People with money were your bosses. People with both money and power were your masters. The owner poured a glass of brandy for Zheng. And Zheng drank it all in one go. The burn rushed down to his stomach and made him feel refreshed.

 Zheng thought as he sat there. “Do you have any employee lounges? Uh. Best if it’s quiet and somewhere to take a shower.”

 The owner replied immediately. “The back of the bar are rooms for customers. Of course, its quieter there. Several rooms also have showers within.”

 Zheng threw him a few gold nuggets. “If the cops come, send them elsewhere. There was an incident outside. If those riding motorbikes come looking for me, take them to me. Also, prepare some food and drinks over.”

 Although it hadn’t been long but Zheng had become the leader of team China. Unlike the leaders in the normal world, leaders here needed to be determined when it comes to killing. He didn’t reach the level of cold blooded yet but he had possessed some qualities of a leader. He gave off a feeling that his order should be obeyed when he said those words.

 The owner nodded subconsciously. Then he picked a blonde woman to take Zheng to the back while he talked on the phone.

 Zheng followed the blonde and passed through a valley. Behind the bar was love hotel. A Caucasian was already waiting there and said to the blonde. “Luxury suite. On the end of the second floor.”

 Zheng just followed the blonde to second floor without saying a word. The suite was not bad upon his first look. It was comparable to a suite in a three-star hotel. After he entered the suite, the blonde said. “Do you want a massage? Free of charge, just give me a piece of that golden thing.”

 Zheng threw her one then said in an indifferent tone. “Get out. Go tell your boss to bring food and drinks over as soon as possible. Aside from the thugs on motorbikes, I don’t want to be bothered.”

 Though the blonde couldn’t hear a word of his anymore. Her attention was focused on that gold nugget. Several seconds later, she smiled at Zheng then left the room.

 Zheng let out a sigh of relief. He didn’t bother to turn on the light and just took off his clothes then lay on the bed. Snores were coming out within ten seconds. He was tired.

 Too many things happened in a day. The issue with Jie, the lost of his comrades, and having to face the movie on his own put his mind in a tense state. When Death attacked him, if it wasn’t for his increased stats and recovery rate from the higher vampire bloodline, he would’ve been still unconscious by now. So once he found the chance to relax, he quickly fell asleep.

 At the same time, in two other places in the city. The newbies that separated with him didn’t have his luck and power. Even with the gold bar, they had difficulty doing anything in the city without a green card or such. So the eight of them still hadn’t eaten anything. They’ve been searching for a place to exchange the gold for money.

 Panda girl said to dyed haired man on the street. “YangLe, do you think we can find an antique shop that takes this gold?”

 He replied without turning his head. “You probably don’t know about this. I heard from the sister of my aunt’s friend that there are pawn shops in many Chinatowns. Even if there are no pawn shops, there are antique shops. They should be willing to make a profit since we are all Chinese. Lu Chichuan, you said you’re still a virgin? I won’t believe it. You’re just toying with me.”

 She blushed. “I am really a virgin. I have a few boyfriends before but I only let them touch my body at most. The first time of course goes to my husband. You’re not thinking about it right?”

 YangLe laughed. “Why not? It’s only the two of us left. And we don’t know when we will die. Didn’t you hear what that retard said? Do you want to die a virgin?”

 Chichuan laughed along as the two of them walked hand in hand. In front of them was a bank and behind it a bridge crossing the river. It seemed like there was no Chinatown in this place. The two looked at each other and sighed. They decided to cross the bridge to continue their search.

 At the same time, several teens were coming from their front while smoking. The teens seemed excited with cigars on their hand and carrying another sealed pack of cigars. Probably stole the packs somewhere.

 The smoke floated toward YangLe and Chichuan and followed the wind into the bank. Somehow, it activated the fire alarm on the entrance. Water sprayed on top of them. The teens immediately covered their head and ran forward as profanity came out of their mouths. YangLe and Chichuan were baffled by the sudden spray. They also covered their heads and ran forward, then they collided with the teens.

 The ground had been wet. Chichuan slid to the side after she was hit. Fortunately, she maintained her balance and stopped herself on the road. As she was enraged, she saw YangLe looking at her with terror. All she could see when she turned her head around was a bright light.

 Around the corner, a driver was obviously drunk…

 Zheng suddenly opened his eyes. He felt as though he heard a scream but then he realized he was napping in a room. How could there be screams here? It was probably just a dream.

 A few knocks on the door. Zheng get up to open it and saw the blond woman. She was pushing a cart full of food, soup, desserts and wine. It was quite a fancy meal and no one should have any complains.

 Zheng let her in with a smile. She placed all the food on a table politely then just stood there with a smile looking at Zheng.

 Zheng wasn’t a bit stingy, since the value of gold was not much more than rocks. He threw over a gold nugget and said. “I also need a phone with plenty of minutes, a thousand-dollar cash, and some casual clothes. Don’t bother me otherwise. Understand?” He then put a gold bar on the table.

 He didn’t pay any attention to the woman leaving. As he began to eat, he kept feeling something was not right for no reason.

 Once he was aware of this feeling, he immediately looked over the room. No one could overlook any little detail in this movie because death could come in all sorts of strange ways. He didn’t want to die in a trap because he was careless. That would be lame. He would rather die in a fight against monsters.

 (But what really feels wrong? Where is it?)

 Zheng walked back and forth in his room, yet he couldn’t find anything wrong. Until he looked down on the carpet unintentionally and saw two deep trails left from the cart. However, the food and drinks shouldn’t be this heavy. And why did the blonde leave the cart in the room?

 Zheng was standing by its side. Then he felt a chilling sensation coming at his heart. This hiding technique and this attack…

 A flaming dagger reached for his heart. 




“Want to know the meaning of life? Want to live… a real life?” The world changes when you click YES. In God’s dimension, you have to keep getting stronger, keep evolving to survive one horror movie after another. Do you kill everyone in your way to reach the end as a lone king? Or fight along with your comrades and survive through the support of friends? Everything was just for staying alive. Until you find the secret of God’s dimension. Who is the real enemy? 

The summer sun always sets later.

At 7 p.m. on Friday, the crowd was in a hurry and everyone rushed to their home with a smile on their faces that said, "the dawn has finally come after a week of beating themselves to work."

At the same time, a luxury nanny car was heading towards the city, trudging against the late rush hour traffic.

All its windows were covered with single-sided perspective films. No one knew that a famous charming guest was sitting inside it.

Su Jishi was calm, caressing her chin with one hand and looking idly at the scenery outside the window. Neighboring advertisements endorsed by Su Jin were shown on LED screens plastered on the exterior walls of several buildings.

Accompanied by melodious Cannon music, Su Jin looked back at the camera and smiled. His black hair spread out like waves. Even without special effects, her hair was shiny, reflecting like silks and satins under the sun.

The last picture was fixed on her smile which was clean and pure, just like a lily with dew hanging on it. People could not help but smell her fragrance from afar.

The window glass reflects Su Jishi's face, coinciding with the elegant face on the advertisement.

Two identical faces cross the boundaries of space and time, blending and overlapping. However, the people behind the faces have different personalities.

In the car, silence reigned. Fang Xie sat opposite Su Jishi and tried to speak several times, but didn't know what to say, still not understanding why Su Jishi agreed to meet Mr. Mu.

According to Su Jishi's character, there should have been a big fight. Why did she cooperate so easily?

Fang Xie glanced at his watch and trembled to remind her, "Sister Su, we'll be at the restaurant in another 20 minutes."

Dinner will be held at the revolving restaurant at the center of the capital, which is the most famous landmark building it has. The 360-degree panoramic viewing platform will slowly rotate at a slow speed, leading the guests to overlook the whole city and enjoy endless night scenes.

Su Jishi looked back at him and said calmly, "We are all going to meet, but I don't know much about this Mr. Mu. Tell me about him. "

Fang Xie quickly poured out everything he knew.


Mu Xiulun was a very good "financial backer". He was young, handsome, of good family background, and was extremely fond of Su Jin, even doing many absurd things for her.

When Su Jin was filming, Mu Xiulun took care of all the crew's meals and delivered takeout from a five-star hotel every day. On Su Jin's birthday, Mu Xiulun bought tens of thousands of movie screens across the country which showed Su Jin's short birthday message.

The more Su Jishi listened, the more she felt wrong. She sneered in her heart. All these favors and public stunts, what was the price that her sister had paid?

Even married tycoons and actresses have no such high profile as Su Jin and Mu Xiulun!

The two are just (ostensibly) male and female friends. Is Mu Xiulun that powerful that he could just draw the attention of gossip magazine to Su Jin in a flick of his fingers?

Su Jin started her career for more than three years. She came from a very common background. However, the film contract was constantly made and she was given a lot of exposure, all set up by Mu Xiulun.

The public often guessed who the financial backer behind her was. However, Mu Xiuluin's family background was prominent. Thus, as long as they pay some money, these speculations could be suppressed.

In front of her, Fang Xie's expression hardened.

"This time Mr. Mu invited you to meet to discuss the renewal of the contract."
 
"Renewal?"

"There is a' contract' between Su Jin and Mr. Mu. The contract lasts for three years and expires at the end of this month."

Su Jishi smiled: "Renew the contract? Yes. "

If Mu Xiulun dares to take out the contract, she will let him taste the taste of her hammer!

The Su family has twin daughters.

They were like the sun and the moon; one sister was bright and had a carefree disposition while the other one was demure and reserved.

But it never occurred to anyone that when the twins grew up, the introverted sister would step into the entertainment circle and became a well-known flower! While the other one packed up her school bag, and aiming to become a doctor of Geology, sailed across the ocean!

One day, while the other sister’s intoxicated face was exploring the wild, a manager with a group of bodyguards tied her up and brought her to a variety show!

“What bedroom scene are you trying to make me do?! Let this old woman go!!!”

“Su Jishi, your sister left a retirement letter and disappeared! All her endorsements, variety shows, and movie contracts add up to more than three billion dollars in liquidated damages! If she still won’t show up, then you have to take her place for the meantime!

“What?!”

“By the way, she’s currently dating the vice president of XX Group and you have an appointment with him tomorrow night.”

Manager: “You are three centimeters taller than your sister, two degrees darker than her skin…your hair is fifty centimeters shorter, and a mole is missing from the corner of your eye. The most important thing is that you are ten pounds heavier than her! Starting today, you have to strictly follow a diet to lose weight! Are you allergic to anything or abstain from any food?

Woman: “I’m not a vegetarian.”

Manager: “…”

The president held the woman’s face in his hands and affectionately said, “Dear, this mole on the corner of your eye was made to be kissed by me.”

The woman raised her hand to wipe off the mole: “Sorry, this mole was only painted!”

This tigger Zac in his heart and smiles. Oh okay next time I will play games with you let me join you. Meng says sure. The foods comes and they dine, shortly the movie starts. 

Meng watch attentively the movie. Zac just finds its boring since he himself is a vampire. Zac turns and look at Meng his eyelashes are long and big eyes, small mouth, high nose bridge. Zac is looking at Meng without looking at the movie. Meng didn't realize it as he was deeply into the movie. 

After the movie, Zac says let's eat dinner in the hotel. Since earlier on he booked the dinner in the hotel. Zac drove back to the hotel. As Meng step out of the car, it's suddenly cold as the winter is here now. Meng shiver.... Zac didn't feel anything (remember he is a vampire) Zac sees Menu shivering and he took off his own coat and cover Menu body.

Huh? You shouldn't cover me it's very cold you will get a cold if you do this. Zac says don't worry I am not that weak and I won't get a cold. See I cover you and I am still alright. Hmm...

(Merry Christmas everyone, To be Continue...) How's the story so far?

Seeing their stupid stare, Lexi was not bothered as she retouched her makeup, since she didn't have her own glam team or rather, she didn't ask for it even though Abigail Fan proposed to send a whole team to help her doll up.
Granted that Lexi was curious about Morris Liu's action, she didn't overlook the fact that the Liu Empire said a few good words hence, she must take advantage of it while it's fresh. 
After retouching her makeup, Lexi glanced down on her lap where Churu was looking up at her with an 'O' shaped lips. She then shifted her gaze to her side where Abigail Fan had the same expression as the little dumpling that made Lexi roll her eyes. 
"Stop looking at me like that, this is business— nothing personal." With those short remarks, the van slowly moved forward and stopped when the van's side sliding door was in front of the red carpet.
"Snap out of it— it's my turn." Lexi snapped her fingers in front of Abigail Fan that effectively brought her back to reality. 
*****
Several minutes before Lexi arrived, Rika with her escort Gael Zhang and Director Arnold Shen walked the red carpet. She was linking arms with them: Arnold Shen on her right while Gael Zhang on her left. 
Undoubtedly, with her champagne, sparkling mermaid gown, long sleeve with a neckline collar that embossed her sexy curves and only revealed her collarbones, yet, it could only tease the bystander on what's hidden beneath it. 
The three posed before the countless flashing lights of the camera while screams and shouts rung out from the fan's section.
"Miss Rika, Miss Rika! Please look here!" One photographer giddily shouted still rapping incessantly on the click button of his camera. 
"Kyaah~! Gael my love~!! So handsome~!" 
"My Goddess Rika!!"
"Waah~! They really look good together~! I shippp!" 
Similar screams of fans were heard along with the resounding click of the cameras at them. As usual, Rika excitedly waved her hands to her fans as she unlinked her arms from Gael. 
On the other hand, Gael Zhang cooly smiled, revealing his even white teeth that made his fans go nuts! He modestly waved his hands to the screaming fans before the three of them headed to the host that was currently announcing, and complimenting the three of them. He was also in charge to interview them at the end of the red carpet. 
"Director Shen, since this was your last movie to direct before retiring, how was your experience throughout the months of filming and what do you feel about it?" Sounding amused yet professional at the same time, the host discreetly asked. 
"Well, I must say it was one of the most memorable movies I had worked on with all of the talented artists that gave their best to vividly portray their characters. I can say that I feel emotional and fulfilled with it." Smiling from ear to ear, Arnold Shen answered the question given with all his honesty. The host nodded in understanding as he asked a few more questions before moving onto Rika. 
"Miss Rika, I see you're as dazzling as ever!" The host casually praised Rika that made her chuckle and everyone near them. "What are the things to look forward to from the movie Taming Hearts?"
"Well, actually, when I read the script, I said that instant 'I will audition in this movie— any role is fine just to be a part of it.' that's how great this movie is." Rika smoothly promoted with a dazzling smile on her glossy lips.
"Woah! Indeed, I must agree because when I watched the trailer, it was truly a masterpiece of Director Shen." The host professionally agreed and exchanged good words with Rika Song regarding the movie and then moved on to Gael. 
"Mr. Gael Zhang—" Just as the host uttered Gael Zhang's name over the microphone, he was interrupted when the fans screaming intensified. 
Unconsciously, the host, Rika, Arnold Shen, and Gael Zhang turned to see the cause of the uproar. There, at the other end of the red carpet, a black van that Elliot Gong always used to arrived in before Elliot Gong himself hitched out from the vehicle— causing a very boisterous commotion.
Elliot Gong's crazy fans tried to get a closer look at him which made the marshal present raise their guards afraid that it would be a disaster if not prevented. 
"Kyah! Eli! Eli!" 
"Brother Eli!!!"
"Mr. Elliot Gong please look here!" Again, a sequence of wails from the journalists and Elliot Gong's terrifying fans filled the air. It was as if his presence alone made them forget about Rika and Gael Zhang. 
"He's such a diva." Murmuring that was audible only for the three to hear, Rika dissed. Still, her smiling pretty front didn't change. On the other hand, Gael Zhang's countenance didn't have a slight change as he remained composed and undisturbed.
Meanwhile, Arnold Shen was more satisfied because having Elliot Gong in his cast was one of the strongest points to promote the movie with his popularity. He didn't mind Rika's diss as he already knew their frenemy relationship.
Upon hearing Rika's unreserved insult, the host awkwardly smiled as he didn't see that coming. After all, Rika's image was the type that depicted her big heart as she allowed a small percent of her income to go to charity. She was also known as a humble person even after gaining riches. Nevertheless, the host composed his momentarily distraught mind to continue the interview. 
"As I was saying, Mr. Gael Zhang, what can you say about working with the beautiful Miss Rika Song?"
"Since it was my first time working with Miss Song, I was really anxious at first. But, she did guide me very well and it was much easier to work with her around— she's a great actress to work with, yeah." Smile still intact, Gael Zhang responded casually.
"Hehe, Mr. Zhang many were asking after the trailer was revealed, a love team between you and Miss Song was created—are you willing to film another movie with Miss Song if ever?"
"Haha! Of course, I am! That's Rika Song— who wouldn't want that?" The interview didn't last long as the three of them entered the theater after a few more questions and promotions of the movie.
This time, Elliot Gong was done posing and making his fans faint from his killer smile and winks. As he reached the other end of the carpet, he was welcomed by the host of the night. The host complimented him from head to toe and mentioned his recent awards and everything before he proceeded to interview him. 
"Mr. Elliot Gong, since this was the first movie that you're not the male lead, what can you say about your experience?" 
"It was fun and a refreshing experience. Although I have already worked with some of the cast and Director Shen in the past— still, that's probably the best part; working a masterpiece with friends." Without leaving his smile, Elliot Gong cooly responded. 
"Hehe, there had been a heated discussion online about your pairing with Miss Yang— what do you think about it?"
Just as the host delivered his question, a white van slowly approached the red carpet entrance, unlike Elliot Gong's entrance, this time, Lexi's arrival momentarily silenced the crowd and made others pause from clicking their cameras. 


The downfall of the infamous white lotus, Lexi Yang led her to the only escape she knew -- SUICIDE.

Born with a golden spoon, having all the privileges being the young miss of the prestigious Yang family, Lexi Yang was the type of person that whatever she wants, she gets. However, fate must have challenged her the moment she fell in love with the domineering CEO of Liu Empire.

Alas, just like in every romance novel, Morris Liu fell for another woman who's kind, fragile, and gentle. 

Due to her intense desire to gain Morris Liu's love, she has done extreme vicious deeds. But in the end, everything backfired on her.

Now, on her death moment, just as her vision went to a pitch-black abyss, a cute minion voice was heard.

"Chuchururu~! CONGRATULATIONS! Your viciousness score surpassed the preliminary test! To receive full access to the 'otome love system', here's the initiation main task -- make your ex-fiance's best friend fall in love with you!"

Hi. You don't need to know my name because for what I am about to tell you, I need to remain anonymous. You may try searching for me on social networks or on web search engines but you will not find me, at least not the true me and even if you do find me, I will deny ever writing this. After what happened to me, I need to tell about it to the whole world but fear that people will take it to be a joke and some may think it as mad. So here I am, with no name, anonymous characters and an untold story-

This happened to me 2 years ago. And if any questions are arising like where I was for last 2 years or why it took me so long to actually tell this, please have patience and read further.

I was on a summer holiday trip to northern India. My father is very rich but extremely busy businessman. After 5 years (which involved quarrels with mom and my nagging that from next year my board exams will start and I won't get a chance to travel with them), my dad finally agreed to take us on a month long trip which involved a 20 days 21 nights trip covering 5 states of india.

This happened to me when we were in shimla. Mom and dad were busy shopping. I was already done with my shopping and bought a cool jacket. But my mom was taking her time deciding which shawls to take and dad, being a great husband(or at least pretending to be) was helping her . I told them that I was going to walk to the hotel from there and they can take the car. They agreed, with as usual notification/warning from mom to be careful and not stray from the path. But I was a rebel and never listened to them (or maybe I should have!).

I left at around 7 in the evening. The sun had already set yet there was a faint light in the sky. But in a few minutes, it was pitch dark and cold also started rising. Thank goodness for my hood jacket and my mobile flash. I was walking on the road when suddenly i saw a fork in the road. I immediately checked Google maps but surprisingly it showed only 1 road. I cursed Google maps for missing this. But then the adventurer in me got curious . What's on the other road, the road not on the Google maps? So, I was about to go when suddenly a man came out of nowhere and warned me not to go on that road. I said the name of my hotel and asked the person if the road leads to my hotel and if it is safe. The person said that the road is a shortcut to my hotel and is indeed perfectly safe in day but not in night as it is HAUNTED.

As I already told you, I was a rebel and so naturally ignored the man. I wanted to investigate it and so went forward on that road when suddenly my phone went out. It didn't start even after repeated tries. I thought that maybe my battery died.

At that moment the street lights came on and I was surprised to see that a shooting was going on. I realised that due to spooky nature of the road as well as an abandoned bungalow nearby, there was a regional movie being shot here and the man was trying to frighten me from coming here and interrupting the shooting.

The director saw me and welcomed me there. He asked for my name and told me if I wanted to work in the film in a small role. It was a dream come true for every child. I was very happy and then asked them if there was any charger with which I can charge my phone. They didn't have one. I didn't remember my dad's mobile number and so there was no chance of calling them. Then I was taken to the make up van where I was given costumes to wear and makeup was applied on me.

Then they explained my role.It was a movie sent in 1900. I was to play the role of a terrified village boy who was kidnapped and delivered to the bungalow by the villagers of a nearby village to be the servant to the monster who lived in the house. Then by coincidence, the hero and heroine come in the house seeking shelter and they get trapped by the monster. Then I meet them and together with them, we trick the monster and try to get free. But in the end, when we do manage to get out ,we all realise that we have all been turned into vampires just like the monster, who was a vampire as well and that the rising sun will kill us. So unwilling we go back into the house to become the vampire's servants/family.

It was a great story and the shooting was also completed on schedule. I gave a great performance. All that drama club practice paid off. I looked at my watch and saw that It was 4 in the morning and I was really late. Everyone would be worried. So without telling anyone a proper goodbye, I left for my hotel. But when I went to the place where the hotel should have been, I found that there was no hotel. When I went to a nearby shop to enquire, I saw a newspaper with a date 2 years in future.

So that's why I am writing this. I am back with my family. They were relieved to see me alive. My parents had broken down and had lost all hope of finding me. They thought that I had some kind of psychotic episode and had imagined the whole thing. The doctor also said that it is possible that I have forgotten the last 2 years due to retrograde amnesia. Although till now, nothing could explain my absence of 2 years.

The more surprising fact is that 2 years before, the movie came out and became a super hit, making me quite famous. But it was even more surprising when I learnt that I was the only one to come back from the crew and that too because I left without telling anyone.

Today I am writing this, with no clue about what actually happened. The only things that I can say with confirmation is that today, thanks to the success of the movie as well as the mystery of the disappearance of the entire crew, I have become a well known star of Indian cinema and have done some very good movie roles. But that night changed me in ways you can't even fathom…..because from that night on,i became what i performed…. i became a daywalker VAMPIRE.

"Riku! Focus!!" Director Kazashi shouted through the megaphone.

We were in the middle of shooting the first few scenes and I couldn't get the sound of her voice out of my head. She sounded sad and upset. I couldn't think straight because of that. I wanted to go back home to her, but now that I'm already filming all the way at New Zealand I can't just leave and back out of a drama I agreed to do. I tried my best to focus on the scene, but knowing that she's upset while I'm out here in a beautiful country filming a romance drama with a girl I don't even like.

"And cut!" Director Kazashi shouted through the megaphone.

"Take five everyone!" He shouted again and went to go talk with the producers. I went to a quiet place that wasn't far from the set and called Aia. Her phone went straight to voicemail, so I just left her a text message to call me when she can.

"Alright guys! It's time for the final scene and then we'll head back to the hotel." Director Kazashi shouted in the megaphone.

The whole movie crew and the cast gathered and I went to go meet them to finish the scene. This last scene of the first few episodes of the drama we're finishing is when Princess Yui, the female lead, meets Kaito, the male lead, who is the solider enemy of Princess Yui's kingdom. I personally was glad that this scene was almost over. I cannot and I mean it, I cannot stand Sun Hee whining and complaining about her outfit to the wardobe people. Not to be rude or anything, but it feels like I'm watching and taking care of a little girl who's crying because she dropped her ice cream.

"And that's a wrap! Good job guys! We'll see you guys bright and early tomorrow." Director Kazashi said and the whole crew started wrapping up the set and packing everything away.

"Wasn't I stunning in that gown?" Sun Hee asked walking towards me. I didn't say anything because I didn't wanna sound rude to her.

"The silent treatment isn't nice Riku." She said.

"To some people it is." I said.

"You know your coldness has always been attractive." She smiled.

"Shouldn't you be busy bugging someone else?" I asked.

"Yes and that person is you." She said.

"Just my luck." I whispered to myself.

"You know Riku, the movie premiere for Tears of Endearment is tomorrow night." She said playing with her hair. I looked up in shock and realized that what Sun Hee was saying is true. Tomorrow is the movie preimere and I was supposed to take Aia shopping today for a dress, but instead I chose to be apart of "Forever Yours" and shoot it in New Zealand. 

I walked away and to the car we arrived here in. Sun Hee also came into the car and the driver drove us to the hotel we were gonna stay at. Once we got there, the enterance was filled and surrounded by paparazzi and newscrew. 

"Well this is gonna be good." Sun Hee said and got out of the car. I follow behind her and the driver took off. We both headed to the hotel just until the media, paparazzi, and newscrew came and surrounded Sun Hee and I. We tried to avoid them and get into the building, but it wasn't working out the way we hoped for.

"Mr. Riku Takahashi, is it true your engagement to Miss Aia Suzuki was broken off?" One of the news caster asked.

"Are you and Miss Kim Sun Hee dating?" A reporter asked.

"Please move we are trying to get into our hotel rooms." I said politely.

"Why are you with Miss Kim Sun Hee when you are already engaged?" Another reporter asked.

"We're both just filming in a new drama together here." I stated and tried to make room for Sun Hee to go in the hotel first. There were so many reporters and cameraz flashing on and off nonstop which gave me a headache.

"Mr. Riku Takahashi, is it true that your father is dropping the business deal with Miss Aia Suzuki's father?" Another newscrew asked.

I ignored them and finally made way for Sun Hee and I to get through and into the hotel. The hotel manager got security to clear the media and reporters from outside the building and everything went back to normal. I can finally have space to breathe and obtain my personal space back.

"Who knew you could be so kind." Sun Hee said going into the elevator.

"I only did it because I also had to get into the hotel." I said getting into the elevator with her. We were going up and it seems like she's on the same level as me. Once the elevator doors opened and we got off, we went our separated ways and into our rooms. I unlocked the door with the hotel key and turned on the lights and locked the doors.

I put my bags down and laid down on my bed and went on my phone. I still didn't have any calls or text messages from Aia yet until my phone buzzed and I quickly logged into my phone and saw a text message. I was excited and hoped that she texted me, but it was Director Reo.

"Riku I'm sure you haven't forgotten about he movie preimere tomorrow night and even though you and Sun Hee isn't here since you guys are the main leads in the movie, we are still gonna hold the preimere because it's too late to reschedule it." Director Reo texted.

"I understand, but can you please make sure Miss Aia doesn't walk alone? I'd be happy and felt much more better if someone was there by her side." I replied.

"Ms. Chinen will be there with her, so you don;t need to worry." He responded.

"Thank you so much." I texted.

"Goodnight Mr. Riku." He messaged back and stopped texting back. I charged my phone and went to take a shower and changed into more comfortable clothes and got relaxed and turned on the T.V. I kept watching my phone for her name or caller ID to pop up because I wanted to talk to her and see how she was doing. I was so busy thinking that I didn't notice my phone was going off until it ranged again.

"Aia, it's good to hear your voice again." I said answering the phone.

"It's good to hear your voice too." She said.

"How are you doing?" I asked.

"I'm doing good, how about you?" She asked.

"I'm doing good." I said.

"How's filming?" She asked.

"It's going good, we're really making progress, how's the publishing of your novel?" I asked.

"It went good we even schedule a fututre date for the book signing." She said.

"I'm sorry I'm not home. We were supposed to go shopping for your dress today. I'm sorry." I said sitting up on the bed.

"It's okay I already went earlier, anyways how long are you gonna be in New Zealand?" She asked.

"Maybe a month or so." I answered.

"Okay, well I'll see you in a month or so then." She said in a sad tone.

"I'm sorry Aia." I said.

"It's okay, taking this drama is good for your career." She said.

"You're right." I said.

"Well I gotta go, I have to wake up early and work on my next novel and you probably need some sleep too. Goodnight Riku." She said.

"Goodnight Aia." I said and she hung up. I sat there on my bed and turned off the lamp and laid down closing my eyes and hopefully I can sleep in peace.

"Not everything is for free!!! I bet you never had to work hard for success! Instead you probably just played around while your dad does everything for you!" He shouted.

 
Riku Takahashi and Aia Suzuki has never met each other and yet their families are already arranging their marriage to each other. Both of their families are wealthy, but with their differences things can get a bit rough. Riku sees the world as full of selfish and needy people who only gains fortune and fame through their children, but Aia sees the world as kind people with dreams and good hearts. But with their differences pushed aside they are the worlds most flawless soon to be married couple.

Anna and Susan gets down from the car and was about to enter the Mall when Anna hears a familiar voice from her back, she turns back to see the person and gets surprise. 

"Hello Ms. Anna, we met again" Xian shouts out enough to grab Anna's attention from behind.

"Mr....Mr. Xian, It's surprise to see you here", Anna tries to cover up her anger with a sweet smile as she didn't wanted Susan to know about the night.

Xian walks towards Susan and hands over the flower bouquet to her while wishing her happy birthday. Susan thanks him with a question mark on her face. Xian could make out the curiosity developing in Susan mind and thus breaks the same "I am Xian Xu, working with Anna on the new project", Xian introduce himself while placing his hand for a shake. Susan smiles and responds back with the hand shake. They both were too busy in their talk and have almost forgot about Anna's presence. 

"Excuse me Mr. Xian, I think you might be getting late for your meeting" Anna interrupts them while giving an angry look in her eyes to Xian.

"I am not here for any meeting Ms. Anna."

"Then? I am sorry to ask you this but, aren't you supposed to be in office"

"Hahaha...you are funny Ms. Anna. I am the boss of the company, rules don't apply for me. You are my guest and your friend is my friend. How can I leave two beautiful ladies alone in Japan streets. It will my honor to treat the birthday girl. Am I correct Ms. Susan" Xian shifts his eye contact to Susan while speaking out to get a positive response from Susan. He had prepared a lot before appearing in front of them and didn't wanted this chance to be ruined by rejection from Susan as this was the only way he could spend some time with Anna.

"You are such a gentleman Mr. Xian, it will be my honor to celebrate my day with you." Susan replies back to Xian with a smile. She could sense something cooking between Xian and Anna and wanted to know more thus takes the opportunity to invite Xian.

"We were just heading to watch a movie, It will be my pleasure if you can join us", Susan turns back to Xian.

"Yes, why not. Let me get the tickets for us. You both can grab a seat inside." Xian picks up the offer in no time and starts walking towards the counter.

The moment Xian walks away, Anna starts screaming at Susan "What made you ask him to stay with us, he is my boss. He can't watch movie with us". Anna face was turning red while she was speaking about Xian.

"Why not, he is such a gentleman. He even got me flowers and came here to spend the day with us. Do we have a rule in Japan where it states that you can't watch movie with your boss? Is it a crime OR you guys made any history in the following day?". Susan questions Anna to get something out of her mouth.

Anna was left shocked with Susan words, the moment she hears those words the night scene came to her mind. She fumbles and replies back to her "Hahaha...there is nothing as such...you know me well...It's just that I don't want anyone to get wrong ideas about us...that's it" Anna tries to cover her lie and anger with the fake laugh.

"No one will misunderstand anything, he is not alone with you. And a company of someone who is familiar with this place is not that bad. Come lets head inside." Susan grabs Anna hand and walks inside the mall.

Xian was already waiting for them with tickets and cold coffee. "Here you go". He hands over the coffee to Anna and Susan and guides them to the theater.

All three grabs their seats. Xian made sure the arrangements were made in such a way that Anna sits in the middle of Susan and him. He knew that this is the best opportunity to stay near Anna as she will not say anything in front of her best friend and Xian was already missing her presence from yesterday. He had planned the day so to spend the time with her. He was fine if Susan was third wheel between them, somehow he was happy for Susan becoming the third wheel as he could grab the opportunity to be with his woman.

On the other hand, Anna was fuming with anger as he was trying all her best to avoid Xian but now ends up watching movie with him and the worst part was that he was sitting next to her. She didn't want Susan to sense anything fishy and thus held her fake smile, but only she knew how badly she wanted to murder Xian.

After five minutes, lights starts getting dim and in few seconds theater was in complete darkness. Anna heartbeats started raising after releasing a strong-arm touching her hand. She knew Xian was trying to hold her arm. Thus before he could make the move she wraps both her arms on Susan arm and bend towards her lying on her shoulder while watching the movie. Xian turns his head to see Anna's face and was left shocked to see her giving him naughty smile, he could make out that Anna realized his plan and felt disappointed.

All three walks out of the theater after watching the movie and Susan turns towards Xian to speak something. Before she could start, Xian interrupts her. 

"I have my friend's hotel nearby and it's time for lunch already. So if you guys are OK, we can head over there". Xian requests both of them with his eyes seeking "YES" as an answer.

Anna opens her mouth and was about to reject the offer when she feels been drawn back by Susan who starts to reply to Xian requests. "Yeah sure, why not. We both are new here and not sure of the restaurants and food much. It's great to get accompanied by someone who is well-known with the places." Susan smiles while replying to Xian. She has seen the look in Xian eyes for Anna while he was trying to request them for lunch and wanted to know more about their relationship as she could sense some tension between these two. 

Susan was familiar with Japan as she was born here and have spent ample amount of time roaming in and out of Japan but to make an excuse for Xian's offer, she hides her identity. Anna gets shocked with Susan words and gazes at her with questionable look. Susan hugs Anna from side and grins at her. She whispers in her ears "You better play along". Anna smiles with tensed look and all three head towards the car park.

"Let's take my car." Susan guides them towards her car and before Xian could question her about the car she continues her statement. "This is my far relative's car and he gave me to drive it until I am here in Japan". She smiles and hands over the car keys to Xian. "I hope you won't let a woman to drive the car right?" She winks at Xian and grabs the back seat. "Sure lady, It's my pleasure to drive for two most beautiful ladies." Xian smiles while walking towards the driver seat and gets himself settled at the driver seat.

Anna was about to take the back seat when Susan interrupts her. "Anna, take the seat next to driver, Xian should not feel as if he is our driver. After all we are going to his friend's hotel." Anna rolls her eyes and grabs the seat next to driver. 

Xian turns on his left and winks at Susan for the fabulous move of making Anna sit at front, next to him.

He starts the car and drove till the Hotel.

After arriving at the Hotel, Xian gets down and open the gates for both the ladies. All three heads towards the entrance and make themselves comfortable after grabbing the table in long dinning hall.
"The Hotel ambiance is very nice, thank you for inviting us to your friend's place". Susan thanks him while looking around the Hotel.

"Excuse me Mam and Sir, please help me with your order." Waiter approaches them after they get settle.

All three orders food and continuous their talk while enjoying their food.

It was 5 in the evening when they came out of the Hotel. Actually they finished their lunch an hour before but Susan and Xian kept taking to each other continuously for an hour. 

"So, what's next", Susan questions Xian and Anna while coming out of the Hotel.

Anna was super annoyed by Xian's company and tries to take the opportunity to throw him out of the scene. "Sir, you might be missing important meetings for the day. You have spent enough time with us and we both feels tired. Let's call it a day and we will head to the Hotel" Anna speaks with a fake smile and angry look in eyes.

"What, are you crazy. We still have the complete evening and night. Aren't we going anywhere." Susan screams at Anna after hearing those words

Anna Xi, Marketing Executive Manager of Chen Global Group of companies have been working for a long time to get an opportunity to work on abroad assignment. And finally gets the chance to travel to Japan for a new project.

She leaves for Japan leaving her friend Susan behind alone for her upcoming birthday.

Anna have been a bookworm from her childhood and haven't ever fallen in love but let's see if this new assignment will get anyone in her life...

Fang Yu had been working non stop since the day of Mo Ting official announcement. He needed to secure the place which was the easiest task to do. More cooperation would be needed to clear both Tang Ning and Ning Xi schedule. Additionally, there was another surprise that they were planning to release but it would up to his boss to achieve it. Fang Yu was never been this excited. He was sincerely hoping that whatever his boss had told him would happen.

Mo Ting had personally made a call to Lu Ting Xiao and Ye Bai. They had arranged a meeting at private room in S Hotel, one of the most expensive hotel in the city. It was a locally chain hotel under Si Corporation. Mo Ting purposely chose this hotel, not affected by either Mo or Lu family. Little did he know that Ye Bai was tiedly close with Si Corporation, and whatever neutrality he would like to achieve today, was totally not met. However no one knew about this fact.

At exactly 7pm, one by one entered the private room. Mo Ting as the host had come up earlier.

"Sit down everyone. Before we start, do you want to order anything?" Lu Ting Xiao and Mo Ting both ordered a glass of wine while Ye Bai resorted to ice lemon tea instead which raised question from both Mo Ting and Lu Ting Xiao. In business context, it was quite common to drink wine or alcohol while talking business. Those with low alcohol tolerance would prefer coffee or tea. None had they encountered a businessman who chose ice lemon tea.

Feeling the questioning look from both sides of table, Ye Bai just shrugged it off,"My girlfriend doesn't allow me to drink any alcohol. Please pardon me."

Understanding quickly dawned between the three of them. They all understood the importance of their partner requests, which was why Ye Bai intentionally came up with the excuse. After the staff came to pour the wine and retreated, the business talk was finally started.

"You must be wondering why I am invited you all here." Mo Ting opened the discussion. Lu Ting Xiao patiently waiting while Ye Bai, although looked lazy, anyone could sense his interest was piqued.

"There must be relation with the press conference. What do you have in mind?" Ye Bai made a guess and it seemed to hit the mark.

Mo Ting took out two folders and handed it over to them.

"Inside would be a movie script and proposal. The movie script was written by newcomer box office writer for 'Stupid'. While the proposal, in short, would be combination of both Tang Ning and Ning Xi as main actresses. The movie would revolve around their sisterhood in combating political issue. One would be police officer and the other would be prosecutor or judge. However, both did not about their identity because they were separated since childhood."

Lu Ting Xiao took the folder and her phone at the same time. He seemed like sending a picture to someone, when suddenly he just closed the folder,"I'm in."

Ye Bai who was still reviewing the proposal on hand looked terribly shocked. He had not discussed with his so-called 'girlfriend' and the guy in front of him had said yes so fast!

"Do you need more time to consider?" Mo Ting shared the same confusion with Ye Bai.

Lu Ting Xiao replied,"My wife said to go ahead. I will follow what she wants. Contract wise, both our legal team could meet up and discuss."

"How about you, Ye Bai?" Mo Ting now turning to Ye Bai to get some reply.

"I need to make a call, but I am interested in this project."

"Aren't you the boss?" Lu Ting Xiao asked. His eyes seemed to search for something inside Ye Bai and made him uncomfortable. He could not let his disguise to be found out. If these two guys here found out his real identity, his darling would skin him alive and took over Great White Entertainment from his hand.

Ye Bai smiled and left the table. At one quiet corner.

"Hello."

"My darlinggg! I am in the meeting now with Mo Ting and Lu Ting Xiao, they want our Great White to have joint investment on the next movie project with Tang Ning and Ning Xi. What do you think?"

"What do you feel about it?"

"I think this is a very good opportunity, with such great actresses and famous scriptwriter. Additionally coming from Hai Rui, it would be risky but worth it."

"Then go. Even if the investment is loss, we have other business to cover the loss."

"Huh? Like that only? You agree so fast?"

"My money is also yours. Go ahead. I have another meeting. See you later." Si Ye Han ended his call. Truth to be told, the hotel manager had told him earlier about the meeting between three of them. He more or less had guessed what kind of meeting would be held following the Gremmies Award. As expected from Mo Ting, he moved fast.

Ye Bai came back as fast as he went out. "Okay, let's do it."

"Let's have a toast for another collaboration." Mo Ting raised his wine glass, followed by Lu Ting Xiao and Ye Bai ice lemon tea.

We always imagining all our favorite character to live in the same sky and can interact with each other. What happened when three powerful guy are within one frame and do whatever they can to protect the women their loves against those evil deeds? How powerful would be Mo Ting, Si Ye Han and Lu Ting Xiao combined?
