As Qing Lian got down at the station and started walking. She didn't feel like going home so she bought a few cans of beer and walked to a park near her home and the office. It was quiet as sat in the bench, she opened the first can and began to drink. It was already 9pm and she watched people walking home, some walked alone, others in a group of 2 or 3. Some walked in a rush, while some were idle walking and chatting with their companions. The light of the buildings across from the park were illuminating the roads. She knew she needed to let everything sink in. She just paid her father's debt last month. Now he accumulated a new one. She felt like screaming to the world but she knew nothing will come out of it. She drank her beer a can at a time, she didn't realize she finished 4 cans already. Qing Lian was pretty light weight when it comes to alcohol. She only drank when she had a problem or was stress out. She was lost in her thoughts when h

"Lilian Alec come here Dad wants you to meet a few people" Alphonse called the twins over. The twins were getting their backpacks and stuff for school. After putting on their matching backpacks they walked towards their father. Alphonse was with 2 other people. He was happily chatting with the two when the twin's arrived. Lilian and Alec smiled when they saw the familiar face of Granny Wu's son. "Uncle Jin" both of them greeted, as they hugged their uncle. "You guys grew bigger since the last time as you"Wu Jin commented. "One day I will be taller than you Uncle Jin" Alec proudly stated. Wu Jin smiled at Alec's determination and he couldn't help but ruffle the little boy's hair. "What are you doing here Uncle Jin?" Lilian asked as she stared at Wu Jin and the mystery lady beside him."Lilian Alec I have good news for both of you. Starting today Uncle Jin and Aunt Tanya will be with you when you go out of the house" Alphonse explained introducing Tany

The children and their grandfather were seated in a booth. The twin's happily ate ice cream, as their grandfather fondly watched them. He felt his heartache as he saw the bruises on his granddaughter. "Are you alright Lilian? Are you sure? Do you want grandpa to talk to that Briana girl?" CEO Monroe asked feeling unsatisfied and bloodthirsty for revenge. "I am alright grandpa even if we asked Briana to apologize to me it wouldn't be sincere. I just wish for her to leave me alone, she doesn't matter to me. I only wanted to protect Alec and the kitten" Lilian explained as she took another bite of her chocomint ice cream. Alexander Monroe stared at his granddaughter and patted her head. 'She is wiser than her years' he thought. But he still felt unsatisfied, this was his precious grandchildren. "Eat, eat, if you want some more just tell grandpa" CEO Monroe encouraged them to eat some more ice cream. "So tell me how is school lately? a

"This is my mother's herb garden" Alphonse explained pointing at the small enclosed plot of land with the array of different herbs and spices.                                                                                                                                                    Alphonse was taking the twins and Qing Lian around the grounds. They were currently behind the main house. Qing Lian looked around the vast grounds in awe. Since she became the chairman's secretary, she was able to visit a lot of beautiful homes and this was probably the prettiest she has seen. "Thank you for the t

When they arrived at Henry's place. Qing Lian and the driver carried him inside. As they laid him on the bed the driver excused himself while she helped him take off his shoes and socks. Henry Qin felt someone tugging him and he slowly opened his eyes to see Qing Lian. He smiled in surpise and slowly pulled Qing Lian towards him. "Mr. Qin let me go" She tried to get away from his embrace but he held on tighter. "Mr. Qin please let me go" she repeated as he tried to untangle his arms around her. "No I don't want to let you go" Henry stated as he tighten his embrace. "Goodnight Lian" he whispered before falling asleep. Qing Lian tried to get away but to no avail. SHe realized that the more she struggled he tighten his embrace and before she knew it he even wrap his legs around her. Before she knew it she feel asleep. The stars watched the two sleep until the sun rise and Henry Qin slowly opened his eyes to his surprise he found Qing
