It wasn't long that October have known Lexus. Since she met him, it was like she was experiencing a tornado of events and emotions; it was strong, fast, and quick without giving her any room to breath. In this kind of fast-paced relationship which skipped a lot of levels, will their life together not end as quick as it started? No matter how both Lexus and October see this, they still don't know what will become of them in the future.
October realized that she had unknowingly arrived in her apartment and was already sitting on her sofa. Still in a half daze, she grabbed the remote control of the TV to turn it on but then thought otherwise as she remembered the events that took place just a while ago. With this, she put the remote control down and put it back on the table beside her.
As she thought about it, it seems like she got herself tricked again and was unknowingly fell into someone's trap. And she knew who it was. It was no other than her stepmother, Fu Yung. Such a young woman, how can she be so vicious? She even payed someone to pose as the man who was with her at the hotel. She even announced to it all about her pregnancy. Did she had someone follow her all along to keep an eye on her?
And that father of hers. He did not even think about the number of guests attending the party and was watching the whole charade. How can a father humiliate to the point slapping his own daughter in from of a lot of eyes? Even saying that she was a slut.
October's eyes frosted over as a glint of viciousness passed her cold eyes. She had already given a lot of things to them that she was not even willing to compete with her brother. She even didn't put up any fight when he threw her away on the streets with nothing but her clothes on her and a little bit of money on her purse. And now, after 5 whole years of being silent, of keeping her distance away from them, they just had to keep on pushing her to the edge of a knife, even forgetting that she was his own flesh and blood.
Clenching her hands to fists till her knuckles turn white and her nails digging into her palms, she swore that she won't let them get away with it even if the heavens will punish her for being vicious. If this was going to happen, 2 can play this dirty game and she will charge at them without any mercy.
Yes, she was grateful for the father who raised her for two decades, no matter if he did not even take good care of her and had treated her like air for most of those years. The fact still stands that he did that. However, that ends there. She will take back what was rightfully hers and will take anything those people hold dear.
Touching her flat belly, she silently said, "Don't think that I am being so vicious, my baby. I have to do this for this is the only way I can stop them from ruining my life even further."
Thinking about it, what could have happened to that man who Lexus took? No matter, she shrugged it off and tiredly stood up from the couch when she suddenly heard a thud on the floor. She looked down to find its source to only see a small red booklet.
It was then that she remembered the most bizarre thing that happened in her whole life.
Crouching on the floor, she took it in her two hands and a soft light flashed through her usually blank eyes. A small smile slowly formed on her pink lips, so bright and beautiful.
That's right, how can she forget? She is already married now. And she was married to the man who keeps on making her feel so restless and uncomfortable but doesn't hate it at all. A man who was looking at her as if the rest of the world doesn't matter to him. The man who keeps on making her heart race and her emotions that she never thought she had explode.
Carefully holding onto it, she happily went into her room to shower and change. She thought of how a lot of things happened today and will happen tomorrow. However, right now, all she wanted to do was to sleep, with her marriage certificate placed securely in her drawer, with a silent smile on her lips.
Meanwhile, in a quiet room of the Park residence, Peizhi paced back and forth restlessly with cold sweat trickling down his back.
"Darling." Fu Yung sweetly called as she shuffled to stand next to Peizhi as she clung herself onto his arms. Looking up while using her sparkling eyes that seemed like to shine like a jewel, she comforted her husband, "We'll get through this. It's just a single Lanna. You've gotten rid of her before, you can get rid of her again."
That's right. If needed, she will get rid of that b*tch completely to eliminate this only threat her son has. She must take a hold of this family's wealth which she painstakingly got. She even lowered herself to seduce this widower, though she can't complain much because Peizhi was really a handsome mature man who treats her really well.
"That unfilial daughter of mine, I can deal with her easily. However, that man who suddenly barged in and protected her is the one I am most worried about. There is something about him that really bothers me." Peizhi said worriedly, still not being able to calm down. There's something ominous about that man. He gently pushed his wife away as he headed outside on the balcony to get some fresh air.
Seeing her husband acting like this, his anxiety was starting to rub on her. Suddenly, something caught her eye on the corner of their bed. It was an opened magazine she bought recently. Making her way toward it, Fu Yung nonchalantly grabbed it and her heart almost dropped to her stomach and her look darkened. Pursing her lips tightly and her hands holding the magazine tightened as if to crumple it up. Her eyes stared intently at the picture of a man sitting on a throne-like chair with cold eyes filled with malice and a confident smile on his perfectly shaped handsome face. Her body started to shake, either due to fear, anger, or jealousy.
She can't believe this! She can't think of how October was able to land on this man. She can't accept this! She bit her nail as her mind started to contemplate on things.
Peizhi grunted as his worry intensified. Sighing, he turned around and went inside their room only to find his wife intently looking at a picture on the magazine while biting her nails.
Curious, he went up to her and circled his arms around her waist as he glanced at the magazine. However, this single glance made him froze in place as soon as he saw and recognize the man on the picture. Snatching the magazine in a speed as fast as lightning from his wife's hands, he intensely looked at the man on the picture. His blood run cold.
Lexus Song, the CEO of the newly established clothing company, Heaven, which took the whole City D into uproar. At only the age of 27, he established the company alone from scratch 5 years ago and made a name for himself for only a year and was then rising till today. He was not only known for such, he was also known for being the number 1 bachelor in the city which a lot of young women wanted to marry because aside from his looks, he was also wealthy and doesn't have any scandals involving any woman ever since he started his company. However, no matter what those women do, they can't get a second look from this cold man, much less touch him.
This man, however, was not at all someone who they can easily mess with just because of his young age. He was even more notorious in the business world because he was known as dangerous, ruthless, and a total devil who does things his way and if something and someone catches his attention in a bad way, he'll lock on that target and make that person's life a living hell.
Peizhi's complexion immediately turned white as dread filled his heart. Because who wouldn't? His eyes filled with worry and his body shuddered in fear. His back was already so drenched from his cold sweat. He sucked a sharp and shaky breath as he couldn't believe it while muttering, "How can my daughter be associated with this man?"
