"The orphanage took me from the hospital, the man who had crushed me with his car had afforded all the expenses and vanished. I searched to find him and ask him questions about my family. I used to think that my family had left me but..."
She gulped, but quickly slew her pain, she must keep her heart stronger.
"After finding him, he was dead, and I am left in the dark."
He frowned, she was forcing herself to hear the truth. He couldn't continue this topic and make her torture herself.
He stood up, tending to pick the tray when her fingers snatched his sleeve. Her gazes were pleading with him; she stood up.
"I had killed those men, is this true?"
She couldn't hold her tears in, how could she live like this? Their souls had been raiding her nightmares, persecuting her, therefore, even the therapists could not help her with those pills.
Hu swallowed, he could not find a remedy for her memory, perhaps it was better for her not to remember. But he had something else that he could give to her, a cure for his heart. It was his weak heart, the heart that had made him swim for life roughly, to reach the shores and survive with her, the heart that made it a dream to be loved by her.
Cupping her face, he bent and his lips pressed against hers. His blood boiled when her fingers clung to his shirt, instead of pushing him away, she was kissing him back.
He tasted her lips, it was a dream, a dream that he was drowned in before but hardly could remember its taste. Regardless of everything, he loved it all, she belonged to him.
Dan couldn't fix her thoughts. This man wanted to be with her but density was riding, unlike his desires. Her heart was filled with sorrow. It wasn't a sin, she had chosen him to be her husband. But it was wrong to be selfish; she felt it, the sensation in his eyes was speaking of his heart, he bent and kissed her with a deep yearning.
Her heart was quivering, whacking madly. How did his love taste? It was new, something clean and full of need. His body heat, so she sensed it under her palm. His strong broad chest was something she could rely on. His emotions tasted heavenly yearning, it made her want to love him back, to recall the lost memories, she wanted those beautiful ones back to keep memories about him on the top.
It didn't matter how bitter the rest were, she could bear it all for the ones she loved. She could forget everything for the moment and let her soul melt in his, let her mind fly over this distraction.
Before the kiss would go deeper, she stopped, it was toasted and throbbing in her head. She had gotten so emotional but what he did was the cure she was looking for.
Their foreheads touched when Hu said, "I won't let you leave me, again! Take that out of your mind."
Without saying more he parted from her and dashed out of the room. His space was still warm, his perfume still lingering in her nostrils. She touched her lips, she could still sense his lips, the pressure and those eyelids that squeezed on each other, She would never let go of this one last memory which was the beginning of something like a thunderstorm.
'But if I have to leave you I will do it. I loved you so much once, I will do it again. Before I meet Qiang, my heart used to beat when I saw you on TV. I know about your heart disorder, Hu! I won't let my struggles hunt you down.'
"His life will be safer without me." The words left her mouth and her eyes fell on her tummy. "Even to keep you safe from my past."
She closed her eyes, it was a miracle that she was enduring all of these. It didn't matter how bad those people were, she killed them, and her hands tasted blood at a very young age. Those people would follow her everywhere, although she couldn't feel regret to kill them. They had ruined her family, killed her father, burned her future, and everything was yet blank and hazy, all unclear.
'I must leave after that birthday if Mr. Qin Bin complained. He has the right to keep his family safe.'
Cleaning tears off her cheek, she released a deep breath, "no more tears, I must get back to my shape, I can't live as a weakling."
She turned and went to wear proper clothes. But when she saw the bed, she cringed. Was she about to sleep here with him? Just one kiss had just chained her mind and made her heart storm. What would... Should she shrug it off herself and dodge the burden of their marital tie?
'But I need his warmth, he asked me to be a real wife, so I will give it to him as long as I am here.'
...
Two hours later, Hu changed his clothes and went out, he couldn't stay in the house after what he did, he could not clean his mind off the kiss and keep working on papers. She was tastier than what he could barely remember from that night.
It was real, and she didn't finch back out of fear, like the previous times that he approached her and she used to wince back, could it be that she liked him? Could it be the old emotions she held for him, probably they had been provoked after taking her to him, protecting her?
Getting inside the car, he checked the message Victor sent him. It seemed Bam had ordered some stuff and made so many changes in his penthouse.
'I had killed those men, is this true?'
This statement was repeating in his head, the moment she realized it, her expression was tough to read, it scared him so much.
"If I regret something in my life it is that I told this."
Hu uttered and speed up and after a few minutes, he drew his fingerprint on the lock and walked inside his place. Victor came to greet him.
"Why are you pale?"
"Ah, he started his work but you must see the guestroom."
He pointed to the left corridor and Hu strode to that part, reaching for the door handle, he expected a mess but it was the green pages that were scrolling up and down. Bam had placed all the monitors on the wall, a huge table was right there while Chuan's leg rested on a free space on that table, furious.
"Ah, you are here! Come, I am working on it."
Bam stated, wearing a sheepish smile as he turned his head.
"What is this Bam? Why did you bring this stuff into my house?"
Hu frowned.
"Don't worry no one can track me, I will find a place for my job, but for now, It was urgent and I needed this system to clean everything about you in the media. Come here, look what I found here, someone recorded the Masks of the Night knock down criminals; How could not you see it?"
So this was the reason Victor was pale!
"Guess, where the IP led me!"
Hu approached, "Anastasia Chen?" His face darkened, sourly.
Bam nodded, snorting that his surprise for Hu was buried before being exposed.
How? How the heck did she find out? Hu felt that his brain couldn't take this one at all! Was she spying on him? Since when?
