Wang Yibo

He opened his eyes and see this first light of the morning, he turn to his left and feel something soft he become tense.

Then he saw it was Zhan laying next to him in a very scared position, his legs were are on the stomach and Zhan was holding them…

Yibo can’t control it and lightly grace Zhan face with his finger and touch his lips.. he never kisses him and wonders how his wife will taste…

Yibo can’t believe he is seeing him so much closer… Zhan looks so beautiful but not peaceful but still his hairs and his fragrance was too much for Yibo and his body reacted…damn not now…

It’s more than 15 days when he first finds out Zhan in an unconscious position, with such a lifeless expression…

He was so scared, it was like a scene he saw 4 years ago when he picked his sister just like that.

When doctor told him how dehydrated and underweight Zhan is..

Yibo felt guilty and his heart accepted that guilt…. me… fuck it Zhan is playing mind games with which make him angry…

He should not feel for him like that it was never in the plan and it was working but damn his innocent doe eyes, his soft voice…

And then Haikuan saying why Enjie and Zhan was fighting on 12 dec night was over doing for him…

Fuck if Haikuan hasn’t called him and told him that Zhan was stopping Yifei to go alone with Xiaojun and his friend then he might let him die there…

Haikuan is right his anger will one day kill Zhan…

No he can’t think like that… he needs proves to put him behind the bars..

He still don’t get the enough proof to considered Zhan is innocent yet hell he have seen the footage of the club where Zhan and his brother were talking and making plans how to kidnap Yifei…

How he can forget that footage although he can’t be sure that was Zhan face as he looks very young and his face was blur but Yibo can predict it was Zhan voice.

He can know very well by now.. the flashes of that video makes him more angry and stupid… he get out from the bed and ready himself for a jogging.

Xiao Zhan

He looked at his pale face and fading bruises on his body…

After 2 weeks he still can’t believe that Yibo not once snap at him…

Yibo is not attentive towards him but still he was giving him space to breathe and letting his food come daily on time and not terrorized his body from his assault…

Fuck… Yibo even let him sleep in his bed… he was ignoring him for the past days… but up till when..

One of day Zhan is sure Yibo will kick him out of that damn bed and beat the hell out of him…. I can’t live like this….

In the basement room when he was almost dead he decides if he somehow lives he will try to get the hell out of here but how…

He will contact his mother first and then look for other options.

But Zhan was walking towards Mrs Shuli compound he felt dizziness and nausea, not know when he will be ok?

He has been feeling like this last for the past week.

Maybe his lack of appetite and weight loss has made his body system to be little disturb…

He ignores that and focuses what he had to do first.

He enters Mrs Shuli room with a knock and saw Mrs Shuli be cooking something, which smells make him feel nauseated…

Mrs Shuli eyes beamed with joy when she saw Zhan and said.

“My child, come come, look in, I am making your favourite Lotus soup.. it will be ready in a minute!”

Zhan nose curls in disgust not that he doesn’t like soup he loves it but today he is not feeling it like that.

He said. “Thanks Mrs Shuli, actually I need a favor, can I (Zhan looked uncertain) can I used your phone.”

Mrs Shuli looked confused. “Yes my child but who do you want to call and is something wrong with your phone.”

Zhan looked down in shame and said. “You know I don’t have a phone nor I can ask Yibo to lent me I did one time and I have to pay for it very badly.”

Mrs Shuli looked sad.

“I’m sorry my child I forget… these people don’t know what a gem you are… one day they will realize and it will be too late.”

Zhan eyes filled with tears.

“I don’t want anything from these people that’s why I decided to leave this house (Mrs. Shuli looked shocked at Zhan words) I know you are stun but that’s why I need the phone to call my mother, she will understand no matter what Yibo has told them about me!”

Mrs Shuli replied. “Then you should call the police and of course I will help you in any cost don’t worry.. here take this and be strong!”

Zhan eyes filled with tears.

“You know he blocked the Police number he will know immediately if someone dailed the authority form their mobile can’t take that risk. I just can call my mom right now.”

Mrs Shuli eyes filled with regret and tears and give Zhan her mobile.

Zhan took the phone and called his mother after 4th bell his mother picked that phone.

“Hello Mrs Xiao speaking. ”

Zhan closed his eyes, after 1 year, 3 months and 2 weeks, he heard his mother voice.

Zhan felt his throat to be choked and tears were falling.

He said with broken voice. “Ma, mom..(he snips his tears) mom this is me, Zhan.”

He heard his mother sharp breath intake and then Mrs. Xiao said. “Zh…. Zhan’

“Mom… mom I need your help… he will kill me mom I don’t know when but he will, plz save me, mom, tell daddy to take me out from here.”

Zhan was now full-blown crying.

Mrs Xiao said in a harsh tone.

“Shut up Zhan stop lying do you want us to be bankrupt and let your brother live to be ruined… after but you did with Xiaojun I won’t let you ruined your little brother Cheng life’

Zhan was shocked at what he was listening to.

“Mom, I don’t know what you are saying… I didn’t do anything to Xiaojun… plz mom don’t believe Yibo what he said to you.. he is lying.”

Mrs Xiao said.

“You are lying, Yibo has the proves he has shown us… you (Mrs. Xiao try to control her tears) you let your brother die… because of you, he had an accident… we saw in the photographs how you mislead him and put your hands on the steering wheel that let him lose control… he died because of you!”

Zhan can’t breathe now…

“Mom.. mom how can you say that… Xiaojun was high, he was drunk, mama, I try to control the steering wheel not mislead him… he was so high that he lost control, I was wearing the seat belt that’s why I’m living not like Xiaojun who….”

Mrs Xiao didn’t let him finished his sentence.

“Shut up. I won’t let you say those things about my dead son. He is dead. the photographs don’t like you make him angry you were fighting with him before the accidents too and in the car, we saw in the photographs how aggressively you try to snitch the wheel from Xiaojun.”

His mother hateful words were killing him no wonder they don’t contact him as the think he is the killer of her son.

“Mom I’m telling you the truth and I’m asking help… if you can’t help me I will be dead or my life be brutally ruined.”

Mrs Xiao said in a cold voice.

“You were dead for us when you killed your brother and lied to us… you are married and now this is your life. I can’t lose another son… so don’t call back ever.”

Zhan heard a click sound and with that…

Zhan lost it and sobbed so much that his already weak body was shaking so bad that he felt dizzy and dead inside his soul…

Why Yibo why, what did I ever do to you.. how can you hate me so much…

Zhan thought in vain.

Mrs Shuli brought soup for Zhan when she found him in that broken condition..

She put the plate in the table and run to him.

“Zhan my child… calm down.. take a deep breath you are so pale, come on sit down.”

Zhan looked at Mrs Shuli.

“He lied to them.. he told them I killed my brother.. they won’t.. my own mother said me she won’t help me.. how a mother can say this to her own child.”

Zhan said with such pain that Mrs Shuli can’t control her own tears and she cried with Zhan.

After some time Zhan was quite but there were tears falling out…

Mrs. Shuli was holding Zhan and whispering him everything will be ok.

Then she said. “Come on Zhan, let’s eat, you have tired yourself down don’t worry there will be other options too.”

Zhan shakes his head and said with an unclear voice no. “I’m not hungry and I don’t feel good.”

“No you will eat, look at you how weak you are, your body needs food, come.”

Zhan can’t say no to Mrs Shuli who has been his constant emotional support…

As soon as Zhan took the bite of soup his stomach felt pain and he feels like throwing up…

He runs to the bathroom and throws up so bad that his body shook and he felt lightheaded.

Mrs. Shuli hold his body to make him stable…

“Zhan are you ok.. forget I’m calling a doctor.”

Mrs Shuli support Zhan body and drop him in the chair of the room and walked to the kitchen and made him lime tea.

“No need Mrs Shuli. I don’t want doctor.. it’s just I have been feeling nauseatic and dizzy for the last few weeks.. But I’m fine, this tea is helping.”

Zhan take more sips of the tea.

Mrs Shuli face shows a strange and scared expression which Zhan saw and made him confused.

“Mrs Shuli why are you looking at me like that tell me.”

Mrs Shuli shakes her head.

“It might be nothing I’m over analyzing things.”

Zhan said. “Tell me, you are the only one I can talk properly plz tell me.”

Mrs Shuli with great difficulty said.

“I’m might not be sure but I think Zhan you are… (Mrs. Shuli paused) pregnant.”

Zhan drop the cup immediately luckily it was empty….

His face was horribly pale and listening that P word only make him more nausea, his faith can’t be more cruel to him?

He did had this nausea but he thought it is due to his irregular diet but he was thinking to leave from here and now he will be stuck forever…

“NO. Mrs. Shuli… I can’t be… I don’t want this baby in this cruel world I’m living. He will kill this baby.. I’m telling you he will kill me too.. Oh god.. why.. why this is happening to me… why.. no.”

Zhan broke down.

Mrs. Shuli try to calm him and said to him it’s not confirmed.

But Zhan knows that everything is happening against him then why not this pregnancy…

But then a thought comes that his own mother can’t support him then? Why he is doing this to his baby…

No he will not hate this baby… it’s his.. only his baby…

He will protect this and find a way to get the hell out of here and protect his child from this cruel world and from a cruel husband.
