***************
"Ahhhh…." Liu Juan woke up with a sudden bellow. She was panting heavily and totally drenched in sweat. Her face was covered with tears.
After a while, she realized that it was that nightmare again and she was back to real-life, which she had been gone through. The nightmare of her horrible days when those three men detained her and violated her every night with physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. Although she had killed those three men, still, her nightmares rarely came whenever she was thinking about her past days.
That man was right, Liu Juan had made a mistake by killing those three men in one shot instead of torturing them and letting them beg for death. Perhaps, if she tortured them then she wouldn't have these nightmares. However, at that time, she didn't want to see those men's faces again ever in her life, so she killed them. What wrong did she do?
No! she didn't do anything wrong!
They deserved to die so she killed them without any sense of guilt.
Sigh!
Afterward, Liu Juan got down from her bed and went to take a shower because she was feeling sticky from being drenched in sweat.
After a shower, she didn't dare sleep in her room alone like she used to. She would end up staying awake throughout the rest of the night because of the nightmare. However, today's situation was different. Today her big sister was near to her, she could sleep with her, right?
Let's see…
Liu Juan took her pillow and went to Liu Ruolan's room. When she reached outside Liu Ruolan's room, she, without any hesitation, turned her door knob to open the door.
However…
The door was locked from inside…
'Knock…'
'Knock…'
'Knock…'
'Knock…'
'Knock…'
"Big Sister Ruolan, it's me. Please open the door!" Liu Juan called out when she felt that Liu Ruolan was not opening the door.
'She must be in a deep sleep.' With this thought, Liu Juan called out.
Still no response…
'Knock…'
'Knock…'
'Knock…'
"Big sister...I had a nightmare...I am scared...Please open the door. Let me sleep with you." Liu Juan called out again.
Still no response…
"Big sister Ruo…" Liu Juan was again trying to call out Liu Ruolan, but she was interrupted by a voice.
"Tsk...Tsk. How sad! You had a nightmare, but your big sister is having a good sleep!" A sarcastic comment came.
Liu Juan need not look at the face of the man in the darkness as from the voice alone she already understood who he was!
As usual, the one and the only man who only knew how to make fun of her feelings and tortured her with his sarcastic comments.
Her boss!!!
Liu Juan knew that Liu Ruolan was a deep sleeper and wouldn't open the door anytime soon. So she ground her teeth in fury and turned to leave for her room because she knew that if she still stood there then she might have ended up killing this man which was her long-lasting fantasy.
Moreover, she didn't want to disturb Liu Ruolan's sleep when she felt that Liu Ruolan was in a deep sleep. However, she didn't know that Liu Ruolan didn't get a wink of sleep yet because of Liu Juan's arrival.
Since Liu Juan was here then it meant Liu Ruolan's position in this villa was at stake, which could be taken away from her at any time and this was a major problem for her. So how could Liu Ruolan sleep?
When Liu Ruolan heard the knocks on her bedroom door, she cautiously got down from the bed and went towards the door. However, she stopped when she heard Liu Juan's voice as she still remembered Liu Juan's words 'I was with our boss, living a good life.' Her hatred for Liu Juan had increased to the level that her rare feeling of guilt, for taking the place of Liu Juan and planning Liu Juan's murder with Bo Xiao, now had vanished.
Afterward, Liu Ruolan turned around and went to her bed to sleep regardless of how many times Liu Juan knocked at her bedroom door.
…
Outside…
Liu Juan was about to enter her room again but stopped when she heard the man's words "I don't care whether you sleep or not. I just care for the success of tomorrow's mission. Otherwise… you know what will happen!"
Yes, she knew that if she failed her next mission which she would have with Bo Xiao tomorrow, then Liu Ruolan's life would be at stake which Liu Juan couldn't even afford to take the risk.
Liu Juan went to the other guest room as now she couldn't sleep in her room anymore. Moreover, tomorrow's mission was very risky which she couldn't afford any distractions, not even sleep deprivation.
The man left as well because he knew Liu Ruolan's distant and hostile attitude to Liu Juan would make Liu Juan open her eyes and she would see the true colors of her big sister.
Well, there was one more person who didn't get a wink of sleep. His mind was echoing the words of his boss. 'What will you do when I tell you that she begged me to save your life?'
This was like a bomb that exploded inside his mind. Never would he imagine that he would ever hear those words. He was raised to be ruthless and to think only of himself.
Why did Liu Juan beg for him?
What did she want from him in exchange? What was the real reason behind her actions?
Hmph!!
Bo Xiao wouldn't believe there would be any person who could be so selfless…
Here he planned to murder her, allow her sister to take her place and there she begged to save him.
Impossible!!!
He needed to find the reasoning behind Liu Juan's begging to save his life. Did she know he planned to kill her? What about her sister?
