Chapter 5 - Chapter 5

MINGZHU'S POV

Hearing Mingxia talk about my health and my inability to birth a child, I knew something was exactly fishy but then, there was nothing I could use the information for since it is obvious that I would soon be gunned down with the pistol Bo Hai held.

"What? You want to know? Sure no problem. You see, Mingxia through my command got a drug which I use in your drink every morning since the day we started living together. The drug was a poison to kill you slowly and then the other was a drug used to destroy your womb so you won't have children for me since I will have no use for it anyway…", he said and stopped abruptly.

"But, but the doctor. He…", i started but was cut off.

"He what? He told you something different?", Mingxia uttered before she continued.

"The doctor is also an accomplice in all this. The slow poison gave us the chance to covet all of your things in the name of Bo Hai since you easily trusted him. We didn't know you would find out this early since the doctor said you have four more months to live so we wanted to wait for you to die without it getting tracked to us but as things have turned out this way, we just had to order a faster way to get rid of you which is this…", Mingxia finally stated while trailing her long nails down my cheek.

"Enough of all this Mingxia. Since all is finally done, let's clear her now once and for all without a trace", Bo Hai said, grabbing the gun from my sister and pointing it at me.

"Thanks for making me rich Mingzhu. But now is time for you to go", Bo Hai said to me and I watched him pull the trigger while a tear dropped from my eyes.

*Bang Bang*, the sound of the gun went and i felt a metal piercing through the middle of my head which is my forehead and before i knew it, everything went blank and i could not move nor make out the next thing.

"Oh God. Thank you. She is finally awake… Bianca you are finally awake", a woman said excitedly as tears dropped from her face uncontrollably.

"Bianca? Who is Bianca?", MingZhu asked with a groan as she tried to sit herself up.

All this was new to her. Here she is, lying down on a bed with some needles pierced into her skin. And an unfamiliar woman was sitting in front of her with an unfamiliar accent.

And now, she just asked the unfamiliar woman a question but to her surprise, she also sounded just like the unfamiliar woman and her accent.

Ignoring her words, the woman began searching all over her body as she continued to sniffle. MingZhu looked around the room and found out she was at the hospital but what she could not understand was who the woman who stared at her with happiness was.

The woman looked totally different from the Chinese. She noticed her skin was tanned rather than white and her hair looked so different along with her accent.

Still dazed, Mingzhu continued to look all over the room with surprise while at the same time trying to process all that was happening until her eyes suddenly fell on the figure which walked into the hospital room at that moment.

"D… Don Alessandro", Mingzhu heard the woman say as she immediately comported herself.

MINGZHU POV

I looked intently at the man who walked in. He had a kind of aura that screamed 'dangerous' and same was his look. I knew from that instant that the man was no ordinary man since his demeanor spoke of power and mischief.

I watched him walk toward me calmly but it was obvious from his expression that he was trying so hard to look that calm.

"Am i so bad for a husband that you choose to kill yourself rather than get married to me?", the man called Alessandro asked me and i looked at him with confusion.

'What? Husband? What is he talking about? Who is whose husband or wife because I don't understand!', I thought to myself with a scoff.

About to ponder more on the situation, my head began to hurt as different scenes came into my head. My head became full of images that were unfamiliar to me but seemed familiar at the same time.

Ignoring the question of the man seated beside me, I turned to the strange woman who had been mute since the man came in.

"Mamma… Give me a mirror please…", hearing myself say that, i immediately covered my mouth like i had just said something forbidden.

"Alright honey. I have one in my bag here", the woman said and a smile formed in my face unconsciously.

I didn't mean to call her mother, I meant to say, ma'am but then, I need to find out if what I think is what it is.

While she rambled through her bag, I watched the man seated beside me stare at me in some kind of way. It was as though he was staring at a totally different person.

While the woman was about to hand me the mirror, I saw someone walk into the room. It was another man totally dressed in black.

He was wearing a black shit and also black pants. He was looking as dangerous as the man seated beside me but not as dangerous as him since he didn't exude much of a strong aura as this man called Alessandro.

"Luca. What is the matter?", Alessandro asked the man, his gaze drifting away from my direction.

"You need to see this Sir…", Luca said and I watched Alessandro arise.

"I will call you later", he said to me before leaving.

No wonder the other man called Luca didn't seem as dangerous as the cold face man since it is now obvious ice face is his boss.

Yes! Ice face. That is what i will call him from now on since he doesn't look like one who can smile but that is not the issue right now.

I want to solve this dilemma I am in right now and the only way is to look at this mirror!

"Found it. Here dear", the woman said to me with a genuine smile.

I hastily grabbed the mirror from her and looked at it to see my reflection.

At that moment, time froze. Everything came rushing into my mind again causing my heart pain.

More unfamiliar memories as well as the ones that I seemed to have forgotten settled in as well as a pained curse, escaped my lips as a result of the headache that accompanied it.

"What the f**k!" I yelled out loud, dropping the mirror which broke into pieces.
