In the Family Way

Chen sat in the dark corner of Weichen bar which he owned and had named after him and Wei. It had been their favorite place to unwind after a long week at work, laughing and drinking with friends. The bar was designed by Wei he had bought it as a gift after graduation so she would have her first design job out of college, he could still remember her face the first time she saw it. The pure excitement and joy she felt, she had put everything into designing this bar, so every piece of it emanated her presence. He used to love being reminded of her the woman he loved, by just stepping through the door, but it was just a painful reminder of what he had lost. Drinking another glass of liquor he cursed himself for his stupidity of being caught by Hoo Ru, he took another drink then cursed again because it had been a week and no one could find her.

"Boss."

"If you don't have that fucking bitch then don't come in," Chen replied before downing the glass of brown liquor and requesting another.

"Chen" he heard a shaking female voice say before she spoke again he sprang to his feet and grabbed Hoo Ru by her throat gripping it a bit too tight.

"It seems the gods are kind to me today." He started hissing as he looked at her struggle for air a sight he enjoyed more than he should. He held her a little longer before sighing because he could not kill her, he released her almost throwing her across the room. "Chen the baby." She cried about before slamming into the floor.

"What baby!?"

Hoo Ru helped herself up slowly before she replied taking three steps backwards to ensure she was out of his grasp. "Our baby…"

Chen's eyes turned red as he approached her. "You told me nothing happened, Hoo Ru, how do we have a baby!?"

"I...I was scared, you were drunk and you didn't mean to, you were too strong, you pushed me in the room and…." Hoo Ru fell on the ground crying.

"You think I will believe your lies, trash like you I would never touch even drunk, you drugged me." He screamed, veins popping in his head, his heartfelt heavy, if what Hoo Ru said was the truth then he and Wei Ru were truly over.

"I have always loved you but I know you loved my sister, I wouldn't break."

"Shut up!" Chen screamed, he couldn't stand hearing her voice and he didn't want to see her face.

"Simon!" A tall man with glasses in a suit stepped into the room, he didn't say a word nor did he spare a glance at the crying woman by the door.

"Take Ms. to the hospital and check if she is pregnant." Simon nodded then approached Hoo Ru.

"Follow me, Miss?

She followed him without saying a word,

"Hoo Ru," Chen called, she stopped.

"Whether this life or 10 million lifetimes, reality or your dreams, I Chen Sun will never love you." With those words he turned and left, finding a darkroom in the back he fell to the floor as tears formed in his eyes, for the first time since he was a child be cried. As he cried he called out to the woman he loved.

"Wei how could I betray you."
