Cheng swallowed the sudden lump that had appeared in her throat, she forcefully gulped it down.
Cheng stared at the CEO face trying to recall where she had met him. She was sure she hasn't seen him in her entire life.
"I...I don't remember me meeting you from anywhere sir" said cheng respectively.
The CEO wore a fair smirk and shakes his head in amusement.
" you really don't remember me?" He spoke In a fierce tone ,giving Cheng's heart a race of fear.
Cheng nods in return negatively
The CEO turned around moving back to his seat, he taps his desk playfully with is index finger. He moves around his desk and sat in the front edge of his desk.
" Let's begin the topic from your best friend Liu Hang"
Hearing her best friend name from him kept Cheng in curiosity on how he knew her relationship with Liu Hang.
" You should know all about your best friend. You should know all about Her family, her livelihood, or her past relationship and so much more, right?"
" why are you interested to know what I know about my bestfriend's life?" Cheng fringed
The CEO gave a devious smirk at cheng
" you are still the same rude fellow who ruined my happy life with Liu Hang. You haven't change a bit." he said as he stared at Cheng bitterly.
Cheng got more confused at his statement
" Happy life? With Liu Hang? With all due respect sir you are putting me in so much suspense."
Cheng preferred to still speak more politely even if she was vexed by the CEO's continuous intimidating words.
" I'll quit the suspense already, I'll go straight to my point" the CEO raises his hands up in the air like saying he gave up.
" I'm Zhengzhou, Liu Hang fiancé ....or I meant to say ex- fiancé, all thanks to you she left me.
Cheng's heart trembled as she couldn't believe her eyes. Was he really Zhengzhou, he looked so much different she didn't realize it was him. She immediately flashes back to last time Liu Hang came visiting her house before moving away with her lover.
....
"You are soon to walk down hand in hand with him to the altar. Shouldn't you be happy." Cheng said facing Liu hang whose eyes were bagged with sadness.
Liu Hang sat opposite cheng looking so depressed.
" Maybe I'm or maybe I'm not Cheng " Liu Hang spoke in a depressed .
" Zhengzhou is an Angel that appeared in my life to heal me, help me, he carried all my burden, shared happy and sad moments with me. I love him but I feel really guilty that I can only love him for all he has done for I and my siblings since my parents died"
Cheng listened to Liu Hang carefully
" There aren't any string attached to how I feel for him" Liu Hang concluded
" Why are you confessing all these just now. You've accepted to marry him,right?"
" I only did that not to hurt his feelings, Zhengzhou loves me too much and I'm sure he's not going to take it lightly if I had answered no to his proposal"
Cheng shakes her head in confusion.
" cheng!" Liu Hang takes her hands gently
" You are my bestfriend and you understand me the most amongst every other person in my life"
" Tell me what should I do at this difficult situation "
Cheng gave a light sigh " The earlier you tell Zhengzhou about how you feel, the better for the both of you. "
Liu Hang turns her face in away, Cheng knew she wasn't so brave to tell Zhengzhou to end the marriage plans which was few days away.
" Look at me Liu Hang "
Liu Hang turned slowly to face cheng
" Whatever your decision might end up to be, always know I got your back at every point of this whole situation."
Liu Hang hugs Cheng passionately. Cheng pats her like putting a baby to sleep.
....
Cheng came back to reality
"That same day Liu Hang walked into the restaurant with you to break things with me. I definitely had this hurge you were behind her charge of mind not to marry me anymore".
" You deceived her to let our relationship go and you knew all about her plans to travel far way with her family. So definitely you are the only person who knows her whereabout...now tell me". " Where is she?" Zhengzhou's voice sounded more intimidating. Cheng didn't give a reply.
Zhengzhou stood up from where he sat, he walked step by step to where cheng stood. Cheng moves backwards slowly as Zhengzhou came closer.
" I won't bite, I only need to answers to my question
" Tell me, where is Liu Hang ?" Zhengzhou lashed angrily at her hitting the wall hardly which frightened cheng.
" I don't know where they are" cheng voiced out loudly
" you liar!"
" I'll make you regret for ever causing pain in my life.
" Just tell me, where the heck is Liu Hang?" He lashed angrily at her again.
"I said I don't know" Cheng suddenly broke down in tears.
" just let me go " Cheng pleaded
Zhengzhou shifts away from her. He puts his hands up in the air as if saying he had surrendered from a fierce battle.
" You can go , the door is wide open"
Cheng saw no sincerity in his words but she took the risk to walk out.
" But you'd be making the wrong choice by leaving out that door "
" From what I got from my private investigator to find about you are the darkest and deepest secrets of your past life "
Zhengzhou threw on the floor some set of nude pictures of Cheng
" Those pictures of you were taken at Belging were you worked as a striper for a year, i guess I'm right?" He continued as he expected no reply from Cheng who stood there looking at her pictures in shame.
" you should be thankful I didn't send those disgustful pictures of you to your mother, not because I felt any form of remorse for you whatsoever, I did that because I need something more in return and you must give in to my orders without questions. "
Zhengzhou words threatened cheng so much as she looked into the fierceful eyes of Zhengzhou staring hatefully at her.
