Chương 14: Normal home.

The dusk looked very pleasant on the island. The roses that had bloomed in the garden looked like blood drops on the grass. Two people sitting on the wooden bench had only silence to interact.

Sara wanted to break the silence. She opened her soft red lips to speak something. But her gut told her not to initiate the fire. Li Qiang looked at Sara and realized that it will get more awkward if this continues, so he started to converse "Lets head back inside. Shall we?? and also please do come to the dining hall for your dinner Sara..."

Sara looked at him and reluctantly agreed 'I must keep my enemy closer..I wont be making fool out of myself trusting this man' she thought inwardly and smiled at him. It was a smile that looked like an big 'YES' to Li Qiang. Soon both of them walked inside the mansion keeping their distance while walking.

-----------------

It was 9 pm and Sara had wore some normal jeans pants and a white chiffon top which was given by Li Qiang's secretory. Sara walked towards the dining table where he was already seated. The table had antique look to it, with candles lit in between and the candle's stand was decorated by freshly picked flowers from the other end of the garden. It was simple but elegant. It din't give the look of date but sure made it look like a family dining table.

Li Qiang saw Sara who was so beautifully walking closer to him. She was the only beautiful thing that this mansion has ever possessed till date. Her aura was something like an thousand stars emitting at once. 'No wonder she was treated as princess by her parents' Li Qiang thought and gave a gentle smile towards her.

He graciously stood up and pulled a chair beside him to make her sit. His gesture was perfect for a gentleman. Sara let out a childish smile which melted all the servants looking at this harmonious scene unfold infront of them. Soon the dinner was served with different dishes.

Li Qiang and Sara sat beside each other and they started to eat their dinner. In between Sara looked at Li Qiang who was having his soup and spoke "Do you mind if I ask you something Li Qiang?"

"Please Sara.... Do call me Qiang. No need to be courteous with me"

His men who were standing in a sequence near all the pillars in the dining hall, almost choked on their own saliva hearing this. 'young master.. Why are you Testing your arts skills in real life?' they thought. Somewhere far far away, one could hear 'SLOW CLAPS' for this performance of the night.

"Am not used to calling you that yet.. so don't mind me.." Sara said it in a very carefree way.

"I understand..." he then looked down to concentrate on the soup and continued while lifting the spoon again "Ask away.."

Hearing his reply Sara pulled her all mighty power she had to ask "Why did you try to take my proposal to my dad??" she looked at him intensely and continued "If you hadn't gone to my dad that day, then this situation would have never occurred in our lives.. Am i right?"

Li Qiang who was having the soup without looking at Sara froze for a moment listening to her speak.

He placed the spoon back and looked at Sara nonchalantly "I fell for you the moment I saw you first time Sara... your nature made me think of the way I could lead my life with you.." he then smiled bitterly "As you can see my life is colorless. No money could buy me some peaceful normal home.."

Listening to his answer, Sara felt her heart ache. She was blessed with such a beautiful family. She could only imagine Li Qiang's lonely life on this secluded Island. But she had to trigger him to see if he indeed was suffering from what he and that doctor supposedly claimed he was. So unwillingly Sara probed "then Why does your family have to deal this kind of business.?? By the looks of your animosity I can tell that you guys deal with dangerous people... Isn't your family responsible for your situation?" telling these words Sara was on her alert for any sudden moment from Li Qiang. She is for God-sake waking up a sleeping tiger to test him.

Li Qiang was aware of her intention. He wanted to stand on her expectation. Perhaps more than what she expected was what he planned.

He slowly looked at Sara and his gentle face up until now turned cold. She could feel chill down her spine. Li Qiang stood up abruptly making his chair make a squeaky sound while being pushed away. His body was completely facing Sara now with distance of two feet. His coldness turned into rage when he shouted as though someone stabbed him. "Ahhhhh......." he held the white cloth that was spread on the dining table and pulled it with full force making everything on the table fall on the ground. The sound of porcelain plates and glasses breaking echoed in the whole mansion. It sounded never ending. Every living being in that room except for Li Qiang froze with death written all over their faces.

This is what the end actually looks like???
