Behind the Scene

Ashaina lay wasted. She had joined a group of strangers in a party while drowned in alcohol. She didn't know where she had ended and how long had she been out. Even if things are not good at home, she didn't intend to stow away. But she just wanted to take a breather. Things just got out of hand.

She was in the middle of a tumultuous sleep when she was suddenly poured with cold water.

She wanted to react, but her head is so heavy and she can't even open her eyes.

"Trash! Get up!" she was finally awakened by a resounding slap.

But her brain seems to lag, stunned for a while, then she slowly turned her head to the man that hurt her.

"D-a-d" only a word but her throat feels like it was scraped out and she coughed endlessly.

"You have the nerve!" Vince can barely hold himself from groping his daughter's neck.

"If I had not come, you will not know to what hell you have been thrown into. I didn't train you to associate with people who deal with drugs. Hah! If my assistant didn't happen to have a business near this place, you would have ruined everything I have planned!" Vince thought of all the years he was suppressed by his brother. His one accomplishment is to deceive them into taking in his daughter, but his girl just didn't know what happened lately, she seemed to cause trouble everywhere.

Ashaina laughed mockingly.

Other people envy her, growing up in a noble family, having a smooth career, having a venerable fiancé, a caring family, but they didn't know she was just a fake.

Not long before she can fully enjoy her fortune, she was presented with the truth that she was just a tool for revenge.

Unbeknownst to her family, she was being trained separately by her real father, and was made to do unspeakable things in order to make her more heartless.

But maybe she was really born to be a villain. When she first found out that the real daughter of Diana and Vance were still alive, even without the instruction from her father, she already moved to eliminate her. She just didn't expect that the event will cause a big impact in her mental health.

But what's crazy was that, every time she saw her, even the people who had the semblance with that woman, the only thing she can think of is that she wanted her to disappear in this world.

"What, have you gone crazy" Vince looked at his daughter in disdain. That year, he didn't intend to get that maid pregnant. He was drunk and seduced. The maid thinking that she can climb up the social ladder made sure to get his seed that day.

He first planned to get rid of her, but changed his mind when he learned that Diana is also pregnant with child.

He had accidentally heard before that his father planned on getting the Young Master of the Crest family as his in-law if he ever got a granddaughter. And so, he made plans. Year after year, he saw that his daughter also resembles her grandmother, he thought, he could pull it through.

If only his daughter didn't get the brain of her mother, then everything would've been perfect. He can never remove that stain in his life.

"They caught me killing their daughter" Ashaina stopped laughing and revealed what happened recently. Of course, it was just an attempt, but she didn't plan to explain, after all, it's all the same.

"What are you talking about, the woman jumped to death herself. You have nothing to do with it" Vince thought it has been a long time, and that crime is not enough to pin them down. Anyway, it was one of the thoughtless things his daughter had done. But what Vince doesn't want to think was that he silently approved of such move.

"We never saw her body"

Ashaina looked at the face of Vince getting uglier by the minute. She mocked him in her mind. She always feared him, thinking that he knew everything, since every time she makes mistake, he will know. In her mind, he has become a big shadow that is so hard to overcome. Who would have thought that he was really inferior when it comes to her uncle? No wonder he had to always do things underhandedly.

"She was always right under you nose. She had been in comatose. I only tried to see her condition at first, but the moment I laid my eyes on her, I can't help but feel the surmounting jealousy. I didn't even know why I had such thing. But thinking about how you always envy father, I guess I really am your child" Ashaina didn't care anymore and just vented her mind even if her throat was squeezed dry.

"You really thought you're their daughter, father, without me you are nothing!" Vince didn't want to be compared with his brother. That has always been his deepest scar.

"Yeah, I hope I was really nothing. That way I will be free" Ashaina didn't know if she was still drunk, but right now she just doesn't want to care.

"I will let you off for now to cool your brain. If you think you can get away with everything, don't ever think about it" Vince looked at her threateningly before leaving.

Ashaina couldn't help but burst into cry.

She can only wish in this life that she can get away. But everything is too late.

She knew she can't control her monster. And the only way she can be near Yyan is if she could maintain her current persona.

"My Prince, Young Master Crest managed to wipe out the base in Salhura" as soon as the assistant received the news, he relayed it to the Crown Prince.

Yin was not surprised. Since he gave them the pendant, they are bound to search for the area.

He had long pulled out his men from that base so Yyan would never find his involvement in it.

Anyway, he didn't plan to cooperate with those men on a long-term basis. He didn't need their kind in his empire. Therefore, he found another support for his means.

"Double check to make sure that no evidence would be found against us. And, set up a meeting with the Jade Princess this week. It's time to meet my fiancée" it has been a while since the Rapport siblings had landed in the country but no contact has been made yet since they wanted to freely go around the country first. Once their engagement is announced, no matter where the two of them went, their every move would be under the scrutiny of the masses and their safety is more compromised.

"Regarding this matter, the siblings had made contact with the Young Lady of the Crest Family" the assistant explained the situation during those times.

"Such a crucial information and you're only saying that now!" Yin can't help but crumple the document he was holding but stopped himself from throwing it out.

How could Yin be not angry. Yue would surely say things to Yyan, and if he knew about it, then it's more likely that his fourth brother also got a wind of it. Don't think that he didn't know the two of them had form some kind of alliance.

He had long prepared for this cooperation. He can't afford anyone ruining this for him.

Among his brothers, fourth is the one he is wary the most. He doesn't seem to care for anything but he always feels like he has a hand on everything. And whenever he was about to put in all the pieces pointing to his fourth brother, all evidence will be gone.

He didn't like that feeling of being played. Yyan and Neon, those two people are made from the same mold.

And thinking about how Yue might already know he has a fiancé placed a bitter taste in mouth. Although this thing is inevitable, he would have preferred if she knew it later.
