Let with no choice

For the first time in a long while, I felt some semblance of satisfaction. Was it because Leonardo, the man I used to love so much without being reciprocated, was standing in front of me? No, definitely, not. It was because of the fear in the eyes of the woman who ordered my death and almost succeeded in taking my life. Her skin was as white as a sheet of paper, and her dark eyes were round with dread. Did I look like that when Xavier took a picture of me and sent it to her? Did she feel the

  • The Last Piece of my Soul   Marry

    A few days passed like that. Nothing significant happened. Not that I wanted to; I was grateful to finally enjoy time in peace where I could spend my days lazing around. My sleep wasn’t as horrible as before thanks to some exercises and practices the counsellor in Malta taught me, so I managed to sleep during the nights even if I was scared to fall into deep sleep. I was still plagued by nightmares from time to time. I wasn’t leaving my room except for when I felt hungry. I could ask the butler to bring my meals to my room, but I didn’t want to inconvenience him. I genuinely liked him. He had this wise, peaceful aura to him that made me feel safe and automatically lowered my guard when it came to him. I knew he was loyal to Kang Xianliang and would always put Kang Xianliang’s interests and well-being over everything else, but at the same time, I could feel Butler Tang always had my back in subtle ways that didn’t directly cross Kang Xianliang’s authority.When I was initially brought

  • The Last Piece of my Soul   Back to the lion's den

    After less than two days, I was back in China. While we travelled, Kang Xianliang didn’t speak much and was mostly ignoring me. For the most part, it worked well for me, excluding the moments where I was persistently asking him for any casualties following the shootout at the party. After my fourth or fifth attempt of trying to make him share what he knew with me, he finally told me in utter annoyance that even he didn’t know yet, was waiting for Niko’s report, and that since I was present during their exchange on the boat, I had the same information as him. I told him sarcastically that he surely wasn’t the omnipotent God I thought he was, to which he responded with an infatuating smile that he hadn’t expected I viewed him like a God at all. After that answer, I refused to engage in any sort of conversation with him unless it was absolutely necessary until we reached his place.Of course, I wasn’t given the choice to go to my family first. Turned out, they didn’t know I was kidnapped

  • The Last Piece of my Soul   I needed you

    Niko carried me into the water to get to the boat where Kang Xianliang was waiting for us. Once he was close to the nose of the boat, Kang Xianliang reached out his arms to take me into his embrace. The night was peaceful with barely any wind. Still, I was a bit scared I might be dropped during the exchange from the first man’s hands to the second’s. Thankfully, nothing like that happened and my fear was unfounded. Kang Xianliang hugged me tightly, his gaze examining my face and body for anything unusual. It seemed like he was satisfied with what he saw because he returned his attention to Niko.“Did Leonardo see you leaving with Luo?” I raised my head unconsciously to look at him after hearing him speak in English for the first time since I knew him. It sounded like British English, or if I were to be more specific, he had a London accent. His voice was deep, rich, and reminded me of how I felt when I was drinking dark hot chocolate. I wasn’t saying he didn’t sound attractive when he

  • The Last Piece of my Soul   I couldn't say I missed him

    I froze in shock, unable to react. Did I need to run? Would Niko or that security guy try to protect me and safely extract me? I wasn’t given any details about the plan, no prior warning or anything to make me ready for what was about to come. I wasn’t military trained or a special services agent. Gunshots in five minutes, damn it.While these thoughts were racing through my head, Leonardo pushed me down on the floor, covering my body with his. I groaned because of the impact with the wooden surface that would surely leave bruises on my shoulders and back. Everyone was screaming around us, and the noise of their feet running in different directions haphazardly was like the hooves of horses that might step on me at any moment. There were noises of broken glass and falling or shattered objects. I couldn’t believe I was thinking it, but I was thankful Leonardo’s huge frame was protecting me from the chaos.Another bullet was fired, making the people scream even more. Were there any casua

  • The Last Piece of my Soul   Die again because of me

    I felt the anxiety rushing into my bloodstream, making my hands shaky. I hid them behind my back, grabbing the wrist of my left hand with my right hand, hoping that whoever was looking at my front wouldn’t notice the visible tremors of my shoulders. Alas, my hope was short-lived.I was standing near a corner of the room, trying to avoid attracting attention to myself after the bombshell Niko threw at me seconds earlier. Gunshots in 5 minutes. Kang Xianliang. Was the plan to have an open fire in a space with so many people? Weren’t they thinking about risking innocent people’s lives? I knew that a huge percentage of the people here were involved in Leonardo’s shady side of the business, but it didn’t mean they were cold-blooded hitmen. Some of them might have been, for example, managers of casinos where he laundered his money. Others may be employees with high positions at the banks where he held his money. While it was definitely illegal and morally wrong, it didn’t mean these people d

  • The Last Piece of my Soul   Gunshots in 5 minutes

    The foundation brush in my hand felt weird to hold. Not because there was something wrong with it. It was just an ordinary brush, possibly on the higher end considering that Leonardo ensured each piece of clothing, perfume, jewellery, and even the make-up brushes were exquisite and expensive. If I didn’t know better, I would think he was actually putting effort into impressing me and presenting himself as a reliable man with high standards. Frankly speaking, he was a man with high standards, but I doubted there was even a second he genuinely considered what would make me view him in a positive light. I felt like he was conveniently forgetting or self-hypnotizing himself into believing that I am something more than a prisoner, held in a gilded cage, he wanted to use against his enemy, Kang Xianliang.I finished applying the lightweight foundation with the brush, set it down on the vanity table, and picked up the crumbled piece of paper again for at least the 100th time. It’s been a few

    Evening came fast. I yawned leisurely, watching the city lights from the car's window. They were so blinding it hurt. I closed my eyes, but the drowsiness immediately attacked my body. God, I didn't sleep since yesterday afternoon. Even though I knew, I could stay awake a while longer, but my bra

    City D*, Fújiàn Province, China The sun was warm and bright high in the sky. My skin absorbed its rays. The ocean water glistered like a million diamonds. I watched absent-minded the foam formed near the shore. My body was sluggish. A few more minutes, and I would fall into a deep slumber. Anticipa

  • The Last Piece of my Soul   Different life

    I woke up in a hospital ward. There was an IV in my hand. I looked with empty eyes at the ceiling, remembering what happened. Firstly, I was tortured day and night. Secondly, a woman looking almost like me told me some fairytale about reliving my life. Of course, I totally didn't believe her word

  • The Last Piece of my Soul   Did he know?

    Bianca D'Arcangelo was Leonardo's cousin. On the surface, she was charming, bright and naïve. Her personality's purity evoked the kindness and the strong desire of people around her to protect such a rare gem. But, her inner self was nothing like that. Unfortunately, I found out too late. Like all
