1 The stranger

Mei worked up in the morning as tears filled her eyes, she just felt like crying because the pain in her heart was so strong. her alarm rang beside her bed. she wipes the tears from her eyes and stood up. she walked over to her mirror looking at herself in the mirror the pain in her heart increased as tears rolled down her cheeks. she bit her lips as she tasted her own blood. her cheeks were swollen red due to tears. she wiped her faced and walked over to her mirror.

It was a sunny day, Mei walked down to her work place " fresh dew ice cream shop ". she arrived early and did her morning duty. customers flocked in to get ice creams. they were about seven working in the shop and Mei was a cleaner there. the day was really stressful but no matter how busy she was it couldn't stop the pain in her heart. it was like a stigma. she always ran to the rest house to pour out her years and this made her eyes bloody red and her cheeks swollen, she just wanted the day to end.

It's already 9:45pm and all the workers have gone home the store was closed for the day but Mei was inside cleaning it up. as usual she was crying as she sang the song she usually sings.

let the pain stop

let my heart be healed

come change me

come make me new

stop my nightmares

come make me new

I'm waiting

I'll wait till you come

I've been waiting

and I can wait

so come, come, come to me.

Her melodic voice rang across the build as tears kept running down her cheeks. she sing this song Everytime having hope that there someone out there who will love her. some one has always been in her heart but she doesn't know who. " hey, young lady get me a chocolate ice cream " the voice was husky and it ran shivers down her spine, it was a male voice she wiped her tears and turned around to see who it was, she couldn't see his face because he was sitting in a dark corner. but she could see a pair of Sharp hazel eyes " sorry sir, but we are closed for today " her voice was soft and weak, she hasn't eaten since last night " get me a chocolate ice cream " his voice was filled with power and authority " the shop has closed for the day" she Could feel the aura that was emitting from him.

man : since no ice cream I'm sure you're gonna be used as one ( no single glint of fear in the eyes of may got the man surprised and he knew she was indeed the one his boss has been looking for m, Even with his stern voice and scaring words Mei stood her ground )

Mei : no ice cream for the day it's already late please leave now ( Mei could feel his piercing eyes focused on her face and she felt somehow nervous, the man stood up. Mei felt relived thinking that he was living but to her surprise he walked up to her, she couldn't see his face because he had a veil on, he stood few meters From her )

man : don't be childish get me an ice cream for my boss or sacrifice your self as one

Mei : please leave now unless I call the FBI ( the strange man chuckled )

man : I don't think you have the slightest idea of who i amount

Mei : I don't care just leave ( Mei carried her bag and step out ) sir, please step out I'm done for today

man : no hint of fear ( he stepped out as Mei turned off all the lights, immediately she turned around to leave a blue limousine was parked there ) get in

Mei : why ?

man : my boss wants to see you

Mei : who's your boss ?

man : don't be an inquisitive kid, get in ( Mei knew she couldn't run because she had no strength she obliges lazily and got in the car ).

Mei has never been in such a luxurious car and have never been in an air conditioner she only enters taxi so this made her somehow happy that where she was been taken to didn't matter to her.

The blue limousine got inside a huge compound isn't just a compound it's a massive mansion or let's say a Villa. Mei was sleeping peacefully so she didn't know when they arrived. the man carried her on his shoulders this is because when he woke her up she said " leave me alone " and kept on sleeping, he couldn't delay his master so he carried her inside to a room.

The owner of this massive villa is no one else but the famous Westin Logan Delvin. he's a popular architectural designer and also famous author. westlin Logan is a very cold human who is always focused on his job and he didn't had time for fun or women. because of this a false news was carried along city den that westlin Logan was a gay everyone believed because he has always hated women although nobody knows the reason why.

westlin Logan and madam Gwen with Liana was sited round a table in a open garden of sunflower and green grass, chandelier lights made the arena looked soft and warm. the three were sitting drinking coffee.

Madam Gwen is Logan's mum. she's a lady in her early 60s, she's tall and robust but elegant, she had a good sense of fashion and style above all she has a high love for money.

madam Gwen wants Logan to get married to Liana so as to promote the business that's why she invited Liana over to spend two days in Logan's Villa.

This is a plan to get Logan to sleep with Liana.

Logan : you didn't tell me Liana is coming over

Gwen : yeah she has an urgent project here in city Den, and I can't let her stay in a hotel least she might get harassed by some stupid men.

Logan : why? ( his voice was extremely cold ).

Liana : it's fine if you don't want me to stay I understand since you are gay ( Liana wanted to provoke him and then unleash her evil plans she was a professional seductress )
