Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: Unexpected betrayal

Zhang Liu

I dialed my fiance's number for the ninth time tonight. A few hours remaining and we would be late for the Awards event.

My manager insisted we leave without him but I had promised my fans to make a red carpet entrance with the man that captured my heart.

"Give me a sec. I will go back to my apartment maybe he will be there," I said, hurriedly running out of the fashion house that dressed me up for the night.

I entered my green Lamborghini and drove back to the estate I lived in. Once I killed my engines I rushed out and took the shortest route to my floor.

When I got to my apartment door, it was unlocked. At the entrance, there were two shoes on the floor, one belonged to my fiance and the other were two red heels.

I walked in and scanned the living room for him but it was empty. I called his phone again and it ran on the sofa where he left his shimmering silver coat.

My mind began to worry as I slowly approached my room at the end corner of the passage.

As I got closer, I could hear breathy moans and groans. My blood ran cold as I came to a halt in front of my room.

On my bed, with my sister, my fiance was banging her.

"Lao Yung!" I yelled and they broke apart from each other.

My eyes stung with hot tears as I stood and watched them try to get into their clothes.

"Liu Liu, I thought you were already at the awards event. Why did you come back?" He dared to ask me after I caught him cheating with my own blood sister.

"Is that the explanation you are supposed to give me?" I questioned him, hating him instantly.

He approached me and sighed like an animal. "Liu Liu, what you saw was nothing and has no meaning at all," he muttered and I slapped him across his face.

My sister stood at a corner, remorse unfound in her eyes as she glared back at me.

"That's enough! Xiao Liu. So what if we are together? You have no right to act sassy and arrogant. Lao Yung has always been mine from the beginning. Even mom and dad supports our relationship," she spat out, wrapping her hands around his arm.

I cackled, hating them both for doing such a disgusting thing to me.

"Fine, you can have him. He is trash to me anyway. Do well to store the trash I disposed properly," I muttered before walking out on them.

The tears that stung at the back of my eyes refused to fall as I trudged into the elevator.

Why should I cry over a worthless man who never added anything to my life to begin with?

I had an award to attend and celebrate with my fans who genuinely support me.

Once I left the Apex building, I entered my car and drove down to the awards venue.

When I arrived, some celebrities were being praised by fans while the paparazzi took multiple pictures.

I mentally prepared my mind for the flashes and wore a smile as I stepped out of my car.

"Ahhh, it's Zhang Liu!" Fans screamed as I catwalked the red carpet.

Flashes of cameras took multiple photos while I posed making sure they caught my perfect angle.

"I love you, Zhang Liu!"

"You are beautiful, Zhang Liu!"

"Please marry me, Zhang Liu!"

Fans screamed as I waved at them. I stopped for a while, took selfies with some of my fans and signed my autograph on their items.

All these while, I pretended like I had not face the most hurtful betrayal a few hours ago. I went inside the hall where the show was being hosted with the invitation card I was given and was able to locate my table number on the card.

"Xiao Liu, I am glad you made it on time. What about your fiance?" My manager asked, looking around for him.

I gave her a slight smile and held her hand in mine. "Lily, he won't be making it to the awards tonight."

A flash of confusion crossed her face but I remained silent about what had happened.

There was no use spoiling her mood when something big was about to happen tonight.

A few minutes later, the award show began and a lot of idols entertained the crowd with their best songs, awards were given at intervals until it got to the Daesang award.

I grew anxious when the moment for the category award I was nominated in. This was what I have been waiting for, for years. My hard work was finally going to pay off tonight once my name is announced as the Daesang of the year.

The presenter who was going to call the winner stepped on stage and everyone went silent waiting for the name to be called.

"And the winner of the Daesang award this year goes to... Zhang Liu. Congratulations!"

The tension within my body melted off when I heard my name. I got up from my chair, and almost tripped on my heels because of the excitement I felt in my heart.

Other celebrities clapped their hands as I strode up to the stage.

The presenter awarded the Golden globe like trophy to me and stepped aside for me to give my speech.

I felt so nervous and excited at the same time as I stood before the world with the award I had always dreamed of.

"Good evening, everyone," I said into the mic and everyone cheered.

"I would like to say a big thank you to my fans and family who supported me to get to this stage. I...I don't know how to thank you all so much for giving me this wonderful opportunity..." As I was about to end my speech, the big screen behind me began to play.

And my voice could be heard in the video. Everyone began to mumble amongst themselves and some started to throw insults at me.

I turned to see what was playing on the screen and behold I saw images of myself tangled in bed with an old man.
