บท 57: Surprise
Lin Ya stared at the sky through her bedroom window with a blank expression on her face. She was like a lost soul dwelling entirely in her own world.
She didn't know why the god was being so reluctant on giving her some slack. He made sure she would always be occupied with depressing feelings.
She always felt pain, despair and loneliness but never had a ray of light in her life to cheer her up. The little happiness she had in her entire life was all because of her child, Little bunny whom she named Lin Kaixin.
If Gu Zichen really decided to take revenge on her, she might even end up dead. With her gone, her son would lead a life that's so similar to her, a life of a lone, scared kid with a bleak future. This single thought was breaking her heart to the core but she was helpless as always.
She lost her birth parents at a very young age, the grandmother who took her died due to old age. She was sent to an orphanage at ten years old. She was always abused by her school mates because of her weak personality. Later, she was violated and got pregnant at the age of nineteen. She had to give up her dreams and to raise her child, she did countless random jobs.
Her life was miserable but whom could she blame but herself? She was the naive girl to trust people around her. She was the fool to think that the people whom she thought as her friends were genuinely happy for her success.
Who asked her to be more talented and attractive than others? Their jealously was so strong, she got drugged and ultimately ended up in a stranger's bed. She was such a cruel and heartless mother, she failed to know the identity of her child's father.
However, that was also a huge relief to her as her son wouldn't be taken away from her by a stranger, someday.
Lin Ya felt more heartache the more she thought of her past. Her past was too tragic, she didn't know how to erase her memories and where to start.
"Please god. It's hurting. Please make it stop" she clutched her heart and let the tears slip down.
An hour later, she finally calmed down and decided to cook something for her kid before he gets back from his kindergarten.
She tried to deviate herself with what she was doing but her mind still went astray.
She didn't know if she was overthinking but for some reason, she felt something dangerous and evil approaching her. The darkness was so deep and the uneasy feeling in her heart was too evident, she had no choice but to think her death was coming closer and closer.
She was a girl with ambitions, a mother with a natural instinct to save her child but a weak human who couldn't fight the devil. She simply hoped the devil too had a heart to understand her pain and to let her go for her son's sake.
Lin Ya lost her job two days ago but she heard nothing from anyone. She knew the devil was clearly playing with her but she couldn't do anything to escape. The devil named Gu Zichen, knew how to torture someone.
Her days went on a routine cycle of cooking, cleaning the house, caring for and playing with her son. From time to time, she would browse the newspapers and internet in search of part time jobs. She simply distracted herself from the all the bad feelings.
Lin Ya felt the time she got to spend with her son was so limited, she made sure to use the time to her best. She stayed with her son round the clock and made as many memories as she could. She wanted to feel only happiness in her last moments.
She was done making some snack s and was about to make fruit juice but a door bell interrupted her.
It's almost time for Little Bunny to return home. But he would never ring the bell and always unlock the door with the extra key he had with him. If it's not her son then who could it be?
"Is that him?" Lin Ya felt a layer of sweat forming on her back when she thought of Gu Zichen. She was terrified that once she opened the door, she would see someone she couldn't handle.
The bell rang once again urging her to open the door. However, she stood rooted to the ground facing the main door. She thought pretending to be not home would do enough to drive the guest away.
Her plan was well thought through but it didn't go well. The reality was far more cruel.
Lin Ya heard the door unlock from the outside and her heart jumped up in fright. She was so tense, her heart beat increased and her back was drenched with cold sweat.
"Mommy" Lin Ya heard her son's excited voice and felt a little hand tugging at her clothes.
She heaved in relief, bent down and kissed the little boy on his forehead. However, she soon found another tall figure behind her son, scaring her to death on seeing his face.
"Surprise" The man raised both his hands and waved at her. He looked exceptionally calm and relaxed. His face had no specific expression but his lips were slightly lifted making her shiver.
'Surprise, my ass. Your presence here is a clear indication of my upcoming doom' Lin Ya thought in her head while studying the man before her.
"Hello, President Gu" Lin Ya mumbled. She was so nervous, her legs were trembling and her voice became shaky. She had to clench her jaw and ball her fists to keep herself stable.
Hearing the woman's voice, Gu Zichen gave a smile that barely reached his eyes.
Lin Ya stared at Gu Zichen in a daze. His smile was so captivating, it almost made her heart to skip a beat. This man looked so handsome and perfect, she almost mistook him for some greek god.
If not for the little plight she had with him, she would have worshipped this charming man like all other women out there.
However, in her present situation all she had to do was beg him to show mercy on her and let her go. She had to live for her son and she would do anything to stay alive.
Gu Zichen didn't give her an answer and leisurely walked towards the sofa. He sat down with his legs crossed with a playful smile dancing on his lips.
Little Bunny was so happy to see Uncle Gu and he was hopping around the house to find something interesting to play with his favourite uncle.
Watching the little kid running around the house, Gu Zichen spoke in his charming voice "I couldn't endure seeing Little Bunny suffer. So, I have decided to find his father. What do you say?"
Lin Ya felt so weak and almost slumped down hearing his words. She was certain that he's truly a scary and cold hearted devil.
