Luna cupped his face with her hands and leaned in to kiss him faster and harder. He pinched her chin and as she opened her mouth to gasp from the pain, his tongue invaded her mouth. His hands moved to grab a handful of her hair and he tilted her head. She broke the kiss, both of them panting heavily.
He groaned when he felt a bite on her neck. She trailed her tongue all the way from his neck to his taut stomach.
"Xue'er…" Tang Zhixin said in a hoarse voice. This nickname was instinctual to her. He didn't like calling her Luna. He loved the feel of her name rolling on his lips.
"I won, " Luna seductively whispered in his ear. As her hands roamed on the buckle of his belt, she added, "You have a second to back out."
The next moment, she knew she was pressed on the mattress and he was devouring her whole.
"Feng Lixue, if you think of leaving my bed or life ever again, I'm going to break your legs, " Tang Zhixin said as he looked at her with a dark gaze.
"Stop wasting time on talking, " Luna grumbled and he smirked as he got rid of her clothes.
All day and night, the indecent sounds were filling the room. The shackled passion of two years was finally let loose.
The next day, Luna opened her eyes with a cheerful smile as she kicked the blanket to find herself in his worn shirt. She didn't know when he got her into his shirt. But she was glad that he did. Looking at the watch, it was noon the other day. Oh go, they spend a whole day and night in bed?
Wow, Luna, we should commend your stamina.
A hint of pain shot through her feet to her whole body as she put her feet on the ground. She needed to go to the restroom but it seemed like she couldn't walk. Tang Zhixin! The beast! No, he was the devil!
A handsome and charming devil.
Later, she went out to find him. Before she could open the door to the bedroom, the men in dark suits barged in. She couldn't understand what was going on around her. The guards were circling her as if she was in danger.
What kind of danger could she be in when she came with Tang Zhixin? She knew that he would keep her safe. He always kept her safe.
But where was Tang Zhixin?
Why had she not seen him anywhere?
"Madam, please come with us, " The elite Tang guards said as they looked at her. "We have orders to take you out of here now!"
They could wait here any longer.
"Where is Zhixin?" Luna asked as she looked at all of them. She still couldn't understand what was going on here. "What's wrong…"
Her sentence was yet to be completed when the guard standing before her fell to the ground. Her heart trembled as she stared at the hole in his head. Blood pooling near his head.
"Where is Zhixin?" She asked again. This time her voice was trembling.
Be safe, please.
She was chanting the mantra.
"We couldn't save him…"As she heard the bizarre answer, her knees buckled and she heard people running for their lives in the hotel lobby. A drop of tear trickled down her face.
How could it be possible? She couldn't believe them. Yes, they were lying. Tang Zhixin was the most powerful man in the world. How could he need saving?
"Lord Tang is gone…"
"Lies!" She shouted at them. "Tang Zhixin is invincible!"
"Please, Madam. We have to get you out of here, " The guard said once again. They knew that Lord Tang was a powerful man but he was just a defeated and dead man now.
Before her eyes, she saw the bodies of fallen guards as a group of masked people turned the lively hotel into a mound of dead bodies.
The last guard protecting her was dead too.
Why was she still alive? Luna wanted this answer.
A laugh reverberated in her ear and she felt someone grabbing her by the hair and dragging her out.
"Isn't this Lord Tang's bitch?" The man laughed and several others followed him.
"I heard he is crazy for her, " The other man mused. "What would his wandering soul do if we brothers shared her between us?"
All of them laughed. They were excited and proud because they killed the so-called invincible Lord Tang!
"Do not forget that she is that bastard Feng Siyan's daughter, " Someone said loudly. "Keeping his daughter as our slut is akin to seeing him half dead."
"She is quite obedient, " The first man said as he grabbed her hair.
Luna's face was devoid of any expression. Her physical body might be there but her heart and soul had long left her body. What could they do with her physical body when her soul was dead?
Before the man could touch her again, they heard a loud boom.
"Someone bombed the hotel!"
"Run!"
"What about this bitch?"
"Leave her there! The hotel will be burnt soon. We have to protect ourselves. We can't bring ourselves down for a woman, " A man said as he ran towards the emergency exit.
"No, I want her, " The man with dark eyes said in an English accent. He grabbed Luna's hair and began dragging her with him. All of his comrades had run away but he was slow because of her.
Another loud explosion was heard.
The hand that was holding Luna's hair loosened when it was shot. The man turned his head to see a tall woman walking out of the fire and smoke. She shot his head and he fell to the ground with a thud.
Before Luna's numb body could fall, the tall woman ran to hold the girl.
"Xuexue?" She whispered her name.
Luna's eyes fluttered. No one called her Xuexue except for one person. That person was long gone. Was she dead? Is that why she was hearing the voice of her dead friend? She forced her eyes to open and when she looked up, she saw a pair of concerned grey eyes staring down at her.
She was dead or why else would her dead friend be here?
"You will be okay, " Zoe whispered as she caressed Luna's face.
"Why are you here?" Luna had asked the question before the blackness enveloped her.
"Because he begged me to come to save you, " Zoe whispered to no one.
In his last phone call, he had begged her to come out of hiding for him to save the love of his life.
