"Mother?" Feng Mei Hiu repeated, the confusion marred on his beautiful features.
"So it's true." Her voice sounding broken, tears threatening to fall from her eyes. "You really have forgotten me."
"How funny, not a single tear has fallen from those eyes, probably aftiad of ruining that expensive make-up." Feng Mei Hiu sneered inwardly. What sort of mother would take her time to do her make-up and dress so gorgeously before rushing to see her sick son. He had enough dealings with the Zhao's, the corrupt entertainment industry and rich aristocrats to recognize a scheming bitch.
She was good, her acting could probably win her the award for best actress, but today, the oscar was his.
"I am sorry." Feng Mei Hiu's eyes reddened with tears. "I am sorry, I forgot about you, mother." He gasped, the words coming out with a heart wrenching sob.
For a second she stood dumbfounded, stunned by Feng Mei Hiu's sudden emotional burst.
"It's okay baby, don't cry." She pulled him into a hug, as he struggled not to move away.
"I am a horrible person, how could I forget about my mother." Feng Mei Hiu sobbed, burrowing deeper into her hug, the scent of her perfume tickling his nostrils.
"It's alright, stop crying, you're breaking my heart." She patted his back soothingly.
"Can you tell me everything about myself mum, I want to start remembering my memories." Feng Mei Hiu would try to get information our of her even though all might not be true, it would help him prepare for future visitors.
She broke into a warm smile. "Of course, I am glad you want to remember who you were."
"Leave." She ordered the nurse.
"Doctor Ling ordered me to be on standby." The nurse replied.
"I will call you if we need you, now go wait outside." Wei Ehuang glared at the nurse, it had been long someone dared to question her.
"I will be outside." The nurse left with a slight bow.
Turning back to Feng Mei Hiu, she began. "My name is Wei Ehuang and the name of your father is Feng Changming, you have a younger sister named Feng Lisha." Wei Ehuang spoke with a soft smile.
"I have a sister?" Feng Mei Hiu leaned in with feigned interest.
"Yes, she's a year younger than you and a student of Prestige Business School." Wei Ehuang beamed with pride as she spoke. "She's on her way, she will probably arrive soon."
As if on cue, the door was pushed open to reveal a stylish looking young lady, she was a beauty just like her mother, traces of Wei Ehuang's features could be seen on her face.
Her shoulder-lenght hair was dyed a brownish-red color, styled in gentle waves, the locks framing her oval shaped face, the color gleaming against her smooth and pale skin, her pink lipstick the only addition on her facial features.
She wore a baby pink crop top and a white baggy jean that was slightly ripped, matched with white sneakers, a pinkVivi's bag was dangling from her arm. Unlike her mother she wore no perfume, her natural plum omega pheromones soft and relaxing.
"Mom." Feng Lisha smiled as she hugged the older woman.
"How was school?" Wei Ehuang asked.
"It was okay, I am just slightly tired." Feng Lisha shrugged as she disengaged from the hug, her eyes locking with Feng Mei Hiu's. "Brother." She nodded in acknowledgment.
"You are my sister? You are very pretty." Feng Mei Hiu smiled, all the while watching the dynamics between Lisha and Ehuang. He noticed the way, Ehuang beamed with pure happiness and pride at the sight of her daughter and while Feng Lisha kept her facial features neutral, Feng Mei Hiu could make out the slight traces of hatred that slipped into her gaze at the sight of him, how interesting.
"Where's dad?" Feng Mei Hiu asked.
Immediately Feng Lisha's smile died down, even Wei Ehuang's aura turned bitter. "He's dead." Wei Ehuang broke the news.
"Dead?"
"Yes, he died from an heart attack three months ago." She sighed. "Our whole family has been thrown into jeopardy, your uncles and aunts all want a share of his property and the compa..."
"Mum." Feng Lisha cut in. "You shouldn't be bothering Mei Hiu with all this, he's still in the hospital."
"You are right." Wei Ehuang shook her head. "It's just that I am worried and stressed." She turned towards Feng Mei Hiu and held his hand. "Can you promise me something?"
"What?"
"Your father's family are all wolves in sheep clothing, I can't stop them from coming to see you, but I want you to promise me not to believe what they say and anything they tell you, always inform me, alright?" Wei Ehuang spoke gently, her touch gentle and soothing.
"Alright mum." Feng Mei Hiu smiled.
"That's great, I..."
The sound of a ringing phone cut her off, as her eyes drifted to the bag on the table.
"Give me a moment." Wei Ehuang walked towards the table and took out her phone from her bag. "I will be in the guest room, it's a call from the company, in the meantime both of you bond together." She smiled as she left with hasty steps.
******
With both of them now alone, Feng Lisha observed Feng Mei Hiu, his expression was one of slight confusion and tiredness, he had never been smart before but now he looked dumber.
"I know you are confused right now, but mum is only protecting us." Feng Lisha said softly.
"I am so confused, I don't know what to do?" Feng Mei Hiu shook his head.
"Don't be confused." Feng Lisha smiled as she ran her fingers through his dark locks. "We are here for you, just follow what we say."
"You are so nice." Feng Mei Hiu nodded.
"Actually, there's something mum didn't tell you about." Feng Lisha chewed on her bottom lip hesitantly. "You have a fiance."
"A fiance?" Feng Mei Hiu was stunned by the new information, a relationship was the last thing he needed now.
"It's actually an arranged engagement." Feng Lisha was quick to add. "You don't love him, you have disliked him for a long time and have been pleading with dad to break off your engagement with him, you have a boyfriend whom you are in love with, both of you have been dating for a year."
What a mess. "I have someone I love?"
"You do, you were planning to elope with him before your car accident." Feng Lisha whispered.
Liar. "And what's the name of my fiance?" Feng Mei Hiu asked.
For a second Feng Lisha looked stunned, she had expected him to ask about his boyfriend and not the fiance.
"His name is Han Yichen." Feng Lisha's reply was short.
Feng Mei Hiu did not miss the look of longing and adoration on her face even if she wiped it off quickly. Feng Mei Hiu could not help the smile that grew on his lips. Feng Lisha had feelings for her brother's fiance.

"One job." Wei Ehuang seethed once she was locked in the safety of the guest bathroom. "I gave you one job and you just have to fuck it up, how hard could it be to kill him."
"I am sorry." The other person replied.
"Sorry? Do I pay you to be sorry." Her pretty features were scrunched in anger. "I pay you to get things done, so you are going to bloody fix it." She chuckled darkly. "Else, I will make you regret ever knowing me." Her tone held traces of dark promises as she ended the call with an annoyed huff.
"Do I have to do everything thing myself before I can get it right?" Wei Ehuang glared at her reflection in the mirror.
Taking in deep breaths, she schooled her features back into a smile. "That's it, be calm Wei Ehuang, your goals are finally in your reach."
Suddenly her phone buzzed with an incoming call, a smile broke out on her face at the sight of the caller.
"Hello love." Wei Ehuang's laughter was flirty. "Missed me?" She teased.
"Ehuang, the old lady is at the company." The person was in no mood for her flirting, his voice serious and tense.
"What? What do you mean she's at the company, wasn't she supposed to be on vacation till next month." All traces of her smile was now gone, her face as pale as a sheet of paper.
"I thought so too, but it seems someone is tipping her off."
"What do we do?" Wei Ehuang panicked.
"Calm down Ehuang, we can't afford to mess up now, not when we are so close to making Feng corporations ours, we can't take any step wrong, we are so close to having our perfect family with our child."
Wei Ehuang breathed deeply, one hand drifting down to caress her flat abdomen. "You are right, I will reach the company as soon as I can with Lisha."
"Good. Be here fast, she's calling a board meeting."
Wei Ehuang sneered. "Let her, my days of quivering under her shadow is over, if she wants war, she will get war." The call ended with a beep.
After wearing back her mask of feigned gentleness, she retuned back to Feng Mei Hiu's room.
"Mei Hiu, I and Lisha have to go, there have been some urgent matters at the company." Wei Ehuang informed.
Feng Lisha frowned as she shoot a questioning gaze at her mother.
"Oh! When are you coming back." Feng Mei Hiu feigned sadness.
"Don't be sad, we will be back tomorrow." Wei Ehuang smiled as she placed a kiss on his forehead. "Rest love."
"Alright, goodbye."
"Goodbye."
Feng Mei Hiu watched them leave, his eyes filled with thoughts.

"I am so confused, my head feels as though it's about to burst." An annoyed voice yelled.
"The great doctor Ling is confused." A chuckle sounded from the phone, the sound carrying across the office as the phone was put on loudspeaker.
"Oh shut up, what do you know." Ling Sheng snapped. "Feng Mei Hiu is giving me a headache."
"That's his only ability." He cut in uninterested.
"Han Yichen." Ling Sheng sighed. "His symptoms do match those of an amnesiac patient, yet I can't shake oof the feeling that there's something different about him, it's instincts." Ling Sheng sighed, staring at the reports as though the answer laid in them. "Since when does he have a fear of needles, a car accident can't cause such deep rooted trauma."
"So there's something strange going on?" Han Yichen asked.
"There is." Ling Sheng took off his glasses and rubbed his aching eyes. "The mother and daughter pair came by, but they left sooner than I expected."
"Don't worry." Han Yichen laughed. "Wei Ehuang has got more problems on her hands now, old lady Feng is back."
"You called her, didn't you?" Ling Sheng accused teasingly.
"Yeah, she should be able to put Wei Ehuang in her place for the time being." Han Yichen admitted in a relaxed town. "I am coming back tomorrow, what gift should I get for Feng Mei Hiu?"
"The heck, are you mocking my lack of a love life? How the hell am I supposed to know what you are to gift him? Buy him an island for all I care, you have the bloody money. Just hurry back and come get your crazy fiance." Ling Sheng snapped
