CHAPTER 4

With the rising of the sun early that morning, the sound of the cock crying could be heard from afar, waking and signalling everyone to go about their day.

Somewhere in the city, in one of the big mansions, a young man sat in a room with his laptop sitting atop the big desk in front of him while his fingers tapped away endlessly with his gaze glued to the screen.

He had left the hotel room quickly, so he watched first-hand as the sun rose in the sky while his P. A. got him to the hospital.

Now that he was back and okay, his brain just could not calm down.

Lowering his head, his shiny black hair dropped messily over his face, covering his eyes down over his jaw while the others draped backwards, making him look exquisitely handsome irrespective of the way his brows furrowed.

He remained in that position until he lifted his head again and his gaze swept through the room and back again.

The room was particularly spacious and free, except for the bookshelves on the left side of the room and a chair sitting across from the young man with some other office related things.

He had his eyes peeled on the work in front of him, as his finger typed away on his laptop.

Ring! Ring!

Slowly, he averted his gaze from his laptop to the phone on the desk close to him. His eyes narrowed as he stared at the caller's name.

Without wasting time, he picked it up and answered the call.

"Hello. Any news?" Liu Xueyi confirmed.

"We could not find her," a masculine voice informed him.

"Properly checked?" He added again. This time his voice was raised a little bit more than expected.

"Yes, boss. We did. There is no trace or report there about her. The person who booked the room chose to remain anonymous to hide his identity and she left without showing her face in the CCTV footage."

"I see."

"Yes. Also, we tried tracing the taxi she used but she dropped off at a dead location. There wasn't any camera footage there. We lost her completely."

He raised his right hand, bringing it to his forehead to massage the space between his brows while he thought of what was wrong and the ways to go around it.

"This is becoming annoying," he breathed out lightly, pushing his weight from the table and leaning back into his chair. "No worries. Just do your thing and keep me posted."

"Got it, boss. We will."

His hand holding his phone dropped on his thighs, as a deep sigh escaped his lips. "Where did you go? How can you leave without a trace? I said I would be responsible!"

She wasn't there, but he wished she could hear him now, loud and clear. He had been too drugged to recall her face in the darkroom and now, he regretted not being able to.

All he had were flashes and the feeling of calmness and warmth when he was with her. He did not feel disgusted.

Instead, there was a need to protect her when he found out he had taken her virginity.

​ "Gosh, damn it! I feel like I took advantage of her. I'm so sorry. She must hate me now wherever she is. This isn't good."

With those words in his head, Liu Xueyi could no longer stand it and stood up. He had work to do even if it was a Saturday but his mind could not be at ease.

Flashes of the previous night kept assaulting his brain.

Finally, he picked up his phone and placed a call to someone. Feeling stuffy, the young master stood up and walked away from his desk, heading majestically for his window.

"Hello."

"Boss. Sorry, is anything the matter?"

"Ah, yes. I forgot to ask you. How about the hotel staff on the night shift yesterday? Starting from the one who helped take me to that room and the others on duty?"

"Yes sir. The one who served you, we have requested for her to come to the hotel and she has arrived. We were going to bring her to you. Should we or do you wish to…"

"Let her remain there. Get the other staff as well. I do not want any of those sneaky beings entering my house. Who knows what other nonsense they would have under their sleeve? I should head there."

"As you wish. I would inform the manager of your decision."

"Alright. I will be there in twenty minutes."

"Got it, boss."

With that, he wasted no more time waiting and made his way out of the room.

****

The door to the hotel room pushed open, with a man's head sneaking in slowly.

His eyes scanned the room quickly and as soon as he found out there was no one there, he pushed the door wide open and stepped in.

With each step he took towards the bed, his eyes roamed around, looking for any signs or clue as to what had happened to the scattered bed.

On getting to the bed, his eyes immediately caught sight of his phone and a proud smile formed on his lips.

"This is just perfect. I was to make love to her all night and keep the video. Turns out, Beatrice would not let me be. Damn it! I missed such a nice opportunity to frame her," Wu Bai let out a sigh of frustration.

He did not bother crying over spilt milk again and turned to the side where he had kept the phone.

"I guess after our wedding then. But I wished not to even touch her. And I cannot use our wedding night video because of her dress. Or better still I can edit it, hmm?"

He leaned down a bit and took hold of the phone. "Now let us see what that lousy woman did all night in my absence. I bet she was too frustrated she had to run home for help hahhaa…"

His hands moved on their own in search of the video to watch when he found it and clicked on the play icon.

He spent a few minutes watching himself and Beatrice Zhang before skipping the video and scanning through.

"Wait, what!" His fingers took the video back and this time slowly till the point where Liu Xueyi entered the room.

"Oh my," his lips parted widely as the look of shock remained plastered on his face. "Who would have thought she went to get someone to sleep with her in my absence?"

A burst of hysterical laughter escaped his lips at the thought.

"Hmm, Andromeda Kai, you are a shameless slut."

He fast-forwarded the video to the end and saw that she was being carried off the bed and imagined they went to do more sexual acts elsewhere.

"A real damn slut. After everything, you said to keep yourself for me, this is how you end up, in the arms of a strange man, huh. Wait."

An idea popped into his head at that moment and his gaze shifted straight to the bed.

"How sure am I that she was still pure? Who knows, she may have been lying to me all these years and cheating on me too."

Quickly, he locked the phone, placing it in his pocket as his body faced the bed. He did not wait for another minute before yanking on the big blanket and pulling it off the bed.

Lo and behold, a bright red stain laid on the bedsheet.

Instantly the look on his face dropped. He did not know why he felt disappointed, he had wanted for her to not have been.

At least that way he would torment her with it but turns out, she really was.

He balled his hands into a fist at his side while his chest rose and fell to the rhythm of every deep breath he took.

This was not what he had planned. And why was he reacting this way?

"Damn you, Andromeda! You were supposed to be mine! I should have been the one to have your first time," he growled out in rage.

Throwing his hands up in the air, Wu Bai let them down in one sweep, before turning on his heels and gazing ahead. "Fuck this!"

It took him some minutes, but finally, he began to get over his anger and calm down.

"Do not worry Andromeda. I would have you tonight and I would teach you not to be unfaithful. If there is anything, now I still have good incriminating evidence against you. Just you wait. I would use you to remain on top of the fashion world."
