Everything was set and prepared, the guests and the relatives were chattering in a hushed tone whereas the restless groom surrounded by his friends was teased nonstop.
"Guys remember once, Zhang Han came to surprise our boss and they had a fight over something." One of the boy's said.
"Ya..Man. How could I forget that, while arguing Han had suddenly kissed her. Haha..." The other one agreed.
"Oh, God! Yes. And later, she had beaten him into a pulp. I thought she's gone battered him to death, sadly she didn't."
"And once Han cried all night just because a boy took her to his home."
"Really? When did that happen I don't remember?" asked one of them.
"You were not there. We were kids, I think it was back when she was five or six. I must say, the boy was very cute. I'm sure if that boy has stayed any longer or even a day then he would have been the groom of today's wedding. You all will be shocked to know, that boy even bites her but she didn't beat him. Not even a single glare.Hmm...She liked him."
"So what? Have you forgot how many times you were beaten in the school," Zhang Han snapped at his childhood friend.
"Fuck you! Don't remind me that, she really scared the shit out of me."
"She's a tigress, I'm in love with." Zhang Han smiled and said proudly.
If she can make you feel the pain she can endure much more than that pain.
"Not only you, but almost half of the School was also in love with her, Okay. You're just lucky she chose you."
Zhang Han smirked, "That's right! at last, I'm her man, "
...
When the door to the Bride's room opened, Zhang Han turns around to see the advancing figure of his gorgeous bride.
And the handsome groom wonders, He did make through this day, Years ago! the day he had promised her once.
Fortunately, this time, she didn't leave him.
The joy felt oblivious as he was eagerly waiting to make her his forever.
With the sun setting in the horizon of sea line, the sky colored in orange-red rays. The sound of the waves crashing mixed with the wedding music. Created a romantic and sentimental ambiance.
Everything was perfect just the way it was planned.
Arms hooked with each other as the bride walked on the rose petals with the groom, a sweet smile on their faces. They looked like a match made in heavens.
Perfect!
The wedding began.
The wedding ceremony went on as the pair stood before the priest. Exchanging some pleasantries and taking the vows before changing the couple rings. First, they were pronounced as husband and wife. Second, the kiss.
...
After the wedding, the guest started to leave. Boarding the cruise ship, only the couple was left alone on the decorated and isolated Island.
Suddenly, Zhang Han scooped up his bride and led her inside the villa.
She clung on to his neck, burying her head in his nape and stopped crying. He left her in the bedroom to freshen up.
She showered and dressed into a beautiful red dress kept on the bed then headed in search of Zhang Han.
Behind the villa, near the shores, a bonfire was blazing between a candlelight table filled with the dishes and a decorated bed beneath the open sky.
Her eyes widen with shock as she gasped and covered her mouth mostly with surprise.
"Han..." She hissed.
"Yes, my love." Zhang Han turned, then smiled softly.
She shook head and ran into his arms.
Stunned by her emotions, Zhang Han hugged her before tighten his grip. He rubbed her back and let her cry like a baby. He couldn't understand why is she crying so much?
He peeked on her lips in a coaxing manner and she smiled. Then he led her towards the table, pulled out the chair before placing a kiss on the top of the head. They had dinner while the romantic and mild music playing in the background.
Resting in his arms as he showered kisses on her neck and cheeks. She asked, "Han? what would you do if I die? " instantly, he paused. "You know it, Xing. I'll die without you," he replied without hesitating.
"If I leave you someday?"
A panic flashes across his eyes, he turned her to face him and said, "Mei-Xing, No one can love you more than me and you can not leave me now We are married. And if you try I'll lock you in my room." he sounded more like telling himself and warning her.
"Han, But..." she stopped herself when he cupped her jaw, leaned down and covered her mouth.
But... she already left you forever!
She wished she had the courage to tell him the truth but she can't or doesn't want him to know the truth.
Mei Lein was in love with him but Zhang Han never responded to her feelings. Although she knows aside from their appearance, she and Mei-Xing were two sides of a coin. Same in color but with a different aspect.
Mei-Xing had her own charm that made her look more elegant and attractive between the two of them. And Mei Lein wasn't an angel or saint not to feel any envy or jealousy. Thus, it builds an urge to beat Mei-Xing in everything. To be famous and get recognition.
She was happy when Mei-Xing was away from home, all the attention was on her. Her mother, father, and even Zhang Han.
Knowing about her sister's death, she was sad but a piece inside her couldn't contain the joy. That also makes her feel guilty.
A little bit.
She was more than confident, with Mei-Xing off the road, there won't be any girl in the whole world to seize Zhang Han's attention. And If she could make him savor without Mei-Xing before revealing the truth, Zhang Han won't have any choice but to accept her. Moreover aside from her family, nobody knows this little secret.
...
Mei Lein leaned forward, opening her mouth to receive his kiss. When Mei Lein's tongue came out, Zhang Han deepened the kiss. Continued nibbling and tugging her lips.
He carried her onto the big soft bed covered with curtains. Nuzzling her neck before rustling their clothes made him pulled up. His lustful face looked more handsome as she smiled with the same compassion. Touching her bare skin he couldn't resist any longer as they made love the whole night.
...
Versailles Manor:
At Dawn, Li Na woke up inside a lavish bedroom, she saw a nurse sleeping on the chair with a book in her hands. Pulling the sheets over her body, she tried to set her footing on the floor but fell down. Flustered by a thud, the nurse woke up and helped her to stand.
The nurse helped her to walk. After a month of numbness, it was painful and torturing to walk with weak leg muscles.
Li Na soaked herself in warm water, taking deep breaths as she relaxed her mind and body.
It looked more difficult to adopt this body. Thinking deep and remembering past makes her brain collapsed easily. It happened thrice till now. She realized one thing clearly, she needs to train her body and disciplined her brain.
She needs to master both her mind and body.
It doesn't matter, how it was damaged in the past, the point is to reconstruct again. To be strong, because there's no way she can survive with a weak brain and body.
Importantly, She had to overcome her drug addiction.
Getting dressed in a peach-colored A-line skirt with a plain and simple white top. As dark hairs tied up in a clean ponytail. She looked fresh and radiant.
Standing in front of a full-length mirror, she observed the new avatar of herself. Between Li Na and Mei-Xing, she found only one similarity in appearance. Their dark brown eyes. Even she and her twin sister, Mei Lein had a different shade of eyes. But it exactly matches with Li Na.
