Just To Meet You

*COMPLETED* "If you don't believe me, then follow the family rules." Her eyes closed as she faced her fiancé's accusations and distrust. She inwardly convinced herself. 'This is the last time I'm giving my heart to you, Peter. If you choose her, then we are over.' With a blade in his hand, he charged forward. He watched as the sharp tip of the weapon meets her soft, porcelain chest. Shocked by her unmoving body, he pulled the blade away from the broken skin. Her white top was dyed scarlet while the blade had already dropped to the floor, making a "clang" sound. "Why didn't you dodge?!" Peter Sin attempted few steps forward to apply pressure on her wound. It hurt, but she held in her cries. Blood squirted to his sleeve and shirt when he forced the blade out of her wound. Holding the bloody mess near her heart, a broken smile cracked on her face as she retreated away from the man in front of her. "At the end, you still chose her words over mine. You've never believed in me, but it doesn't matter anymore. Let's break up. Even if we pass by each other in the future, we'll be nothing but strangers." He tried approaching her again, but failed as she strode backwards in larger steps than before. "Mister Sin, goodbye." "Selina!" He screamed, but held back from chasing after her lonesome figure. His heart was a mess as he fell onto the ground and stared at the blood stain on his clothes. __________________ Selina Gu drove straight home where she had prepared herself to announce her failed engagement to her mother, Katrina Gu. Pressing her wound, she slowly leaned against the wall to bring herself to the living room where her mom's voice echoed loudly. Selina: "So, all my life..I've been nothing but a chess piece. Are you done with your game?" Katrina: "...Daughter." Selina: "Daughter? Do you know how many years and efforts I've wanted to hear you call me daughter? But all this is fake. Just an act. I've always convinced myself I'm the one who could do better because I wanted to hear a compliment from you. But you? You've forced me to the edge and suffocated me!" _____________________ Katrina: "It's mother's fault! Don't jump. I'm begging you!" Bryan (Selina's brother): "Did you get bullied? Brother will protect you. Please, come back down! It's dangerous to stand at the edge! You don't know how to swim!" "I don't want to play this game anymore. I'm tired of my life. Didn't you want revenge? I'll complete it for you. Sorry, brother." Selina fell forward with her eyes closed. She didn't struggle as she desired to forget everything. ___________________ Assistant: "Mister Hui, after multiple investigations, we have confirmed that the girl you have been searching for is Selina Gu." _________________ Awakening from her coma after a month later, Selina woke up hearing a familiar voice by her side. Although she couldn't recognize him, her instincts told her he wasn't going to harm her. "Selina! You're awake!" Jason Hui tossed his laptop to the table, ditching the video meeting he was in and hugged her. "Does it hurt anywhere? Are you thirsty? Hungry? I'll go get a doctor!" He spat out countless questions, confusing her greatly. ________________ Jason held her hands, "It's okay if you don't remember me. As long as I remember our promise, that's all it matters. I won't let anyone hurt you anymore." _________________ "Jason Hui!" "Wife, if you're not happy about something you just have to say it. No need to shout. You'll get a sore throat." Selina pointed to the rubber band on the counter, "I forgot to tie my hair, but my hands are dirty from marinating meat. Do you know how to tie girl's hair?" A minute later, a messy ponytail was created and Selina looked at him with a speechless expression. Noting to himself on his calendar, he typed, "Learn how to do wife's hair."

My Fiancée

Several minutes had passed since Selina leaned in his embrace. Compared to last time, she recovered rather quickly. Her body had stopped shivering already as he comforted her with light pats.

"There you are, Jason! I was looking for you. This is my daughter, Emma. She took a bit longer in getting dressed up today. Hahaha, she was very excited to meet you." Mister Anderson walked over with a young lady beside him.

From behind, Mister Anderson did not notice Selina's petite figure hiding between Jason's arms. Therefore, he gathered his courage to introduce his daughter to him in hopes of future company collaboration. Mister Anderson was impressed by Jason's potential since the first time they've met.

At first, Mister Anderson thought Jason would be an arrogant man who looks down on others. After some time of working with him, he realized his impression was totally wrong. Not only was Jason intelligent, he was also very humble! In the business field, it was considered difficult to find a man as dashing as him with true potential. Most importantly, he was single!

Jason wasn't in the mood to entertain his client and client's daughter as his impatience reached its maximum level. 'Maybe they'll walk away and think they got the wrong person if I don't reply.' He thought to himself and decided to not turn around.

Emma gritted her teeth and tugged her father's sleeve. "Dad! You said he was a gentleman! Is this behavior considered polite? We are the hosts of the party."

Mister Anderson patted her hand and dragged her to greet Jason. "Maybe he didn't hear us the first time. The crowd is pretty loud around here."

Instantly, he regretted his decision. When he walked in front of Jason, he felt a different aura emitting from him. Jason felt Selina's hands tighten around his waist as if the sudden intruders had caused her to tense up. He rubbed her back in a bobbing manner; expressing his protection.

"Jason, I wanted to introduce you to my daughter, Emma. She has a lot of to learn since she just graduated from university. I hope you can look after her and maybe try getting to know each other." Mister Anderson's eyes laid on the girl in his arms with curiosity. He had never heard of any females being able to act intimate with Jason before.

Catching the strange stare from Mister Anderson's eyes, Jason subconsciously wrapped his arms around Selina as if he was shielding her. He didn't give Emma a single glance before smiling at his client. "Sorry, Mister Anderson. My companion is not feeling well right now, so I will take my leave earlier than expected. As for your daughter, she will have more opportunities in learning from you than me."

Emma's eyes almost glowed when she saw Jason's face. She cleared her throat and extended out her hands to give a proper introduction. "Hello, I'm Emma. I've applied to your company as an intern. Please look after me from now on."

Selina rolled her eyes as she heard the change of tone in Emma's voice. She was obviously using her father's position to get to know Jason. Jason stared at the extended hand and only nodded in response.

"If you just submitted the application, the HR manager would decide whether you are qualified for the role; not me. Even if you work in my company, you would not be working under my supervision." Jason looked at her icily without a bit of desire to meet her.

As if he was treating pests, he quickly excused himself. "My partner is not feeling well right now. I will bring her home. Please excuse me."

"Ah, how about we book a hotel room for her to rest? You can continue enjoying the party while she rests in one of the VIP rooms." Mister Anderson refused to budge. His interest deepened towards Selina who hasn't spoken a word since his interruption.

"My apologies. Maybe I wasn't clear enough with my words. My fiancée is not used to sleeping in any beds but the one we have at home. I also would not feel safe leaving her alone while she is ill. Please excuse us." He removed his jacket and placed it over her shoulders as they walked out.

Emma couldn't get a good look at how Selina looked, but envy still carved into her chest. Jason's eyes were filled with warmth when he stared at Selina! It was rare to find a guy who would act cold towards everyone else but the one he likes! Frustrated, she ran in front of Jason's path and blocked it.

"Wouldn't it be a pity if I don't greet your fiancée at my own party?" Emma was determined to get Selina's name and conduct a full research about her background.

A scoffed laugh escaped Selina's lips. "Emma, Ella or whatever you name is. I have no interest in having any relationship with you anyways. So, I don't see a need to introduce myself to you. Besides, my fiancé and I want to back to our home to spend quality time together. So, excuse me."

Selina continued walking forward with Jason in her arms. Emma reached out to grab onto Selina's arm, but failed as Jason twisted her wrist in split seconds. "Don't you dare touch her." This time, Emma had truly understood what people meant by pressuring someone using their eyes. It was terrifying as if her soul had been sucked in by a whirlpool to Satan's dark abyss.

As Jason and Selina walked out of the grand hall, their back view caught someone's attention. Without another thought, the woman raced outside with her loud tapping heels, wanting to get a closer look at the pair that just left.

By the time she got to the entrance, Jason and Selina had been no longer within sight range. The night breeze combed through her smooth, flowy hair. As her eyes wandered dangerously for the two figures, Bryan and Alfred caught up to her location.

Bryan panted, "What's wrong? Did you see someone suspicious?"

Hearing no response from the figure in front, Alfred reached for the figure's shoulder. "Michael, what's wrong?"

"I think..I saw Selina just now. She was with that man who took her away." For convenience purposes, Michael was in full disguise as Bryan's female companion for the night. Since he had a slim figure and had prior experience of cross-dressing, nobody realized he was actually male underneath the gown.

Back in the car, Aaron's heart beat frantically as he waited for his scolding. The lecture he had expected surprisingly didn't come. Instead, Jason was actually smiling!

With the thought of peace coming to his mind, an angelic face appeared in his head. 'Ah, she was so beautiful. I should have asked for her name! I'm so stupid!" Aaron cursed once again for the nth time tonight.
