"Master! Madam had betrayed you with another man!". Giving his master of their intimate picture as evidence, Darren Sky grimaced in resentment.
Laying on the hospital bed with his mummy face while looking at the picture of his wife smiling while holding the good looking man arm and rested her head on his toned shoulder, Nicolas Tang shuddered like a cornered wild animal.
At that moment, Nicolas Tang penetrated look could kill anyone with a weak heart condition.
Nicolas Tang was heartbroken.
Not only, his beloved wife wanted a divorce, but she also already replaced his position with another man in merely days after his fabricated death.
"Darren! Please leave me alone!".
Darren Sky had been following Nicolas Tang for 10 years. He was 10 years old when his master found him wandering on the street without any memory, only a locket gold necklace with the name of 'Darren Sky' engraved behind it.
Thus, it became his name.
And...
Out of compassion, his master took him and taught him many skills to survive the cruelty and harshness of the world.
His master paid for his military school and daily living.
Until last year...
When he finally graduated from the military school from the Modern country, Darren Sky decided to immigrate to the Emperor country so he could stay by his master's side to serve and protect him.
However...
His master had become a ghost in a shell because of a woman...
The cheap woman had become his master doom.
For her...
His master had fabricated his death...
For her...
His master had changed his identity and his face to go against heaven and change his destiny...
Yet...
She betrayed him.
And right now his master is living a live worse than death because of her betrayal.
What a disappointment! For a strong man like his master to have fallen into a deep abyss of the darkness just for love...
Thus he proclaimed...
He won't ever fall in love.
After he personally witnessed it's malicious and sinister poisonous effects on his master, there is no way he would want it.
Indeed, love is evil!
- Nicolas Tang underground hospital room in the Capital city -
Why he planned this insidious scheme?
So...
He could start over to a brand new life similar to a blank paper.
He could live for love and not for filial obligation such as revenge.
He could change the will of heaven(destiny)...
He knew his mother too well...
That...
All of her threat is just an empty threat...
Sherly Tang never loves him as a son...
He is merely a revenge tool in her eyes...
When she remarried...
his mother sent him to stay at an orphanage house in the Emperor city...
Never once, she called him...
Until she disclosed her revenge plan by sending Debra Lin - his childhood friend and so-called fiancee- as a helper...
Originally, his mother wanted him to seduce her enemy's daughter to gain intel on her enemy.
Nicolas Tang never gave her the intel...
Instead...
He decided to go back to the modern city and hurt Leah Lee feeling as an act of revenge to be a filial son.
He regretted every moment of it.
After the incident, Again...
His mother abandoned him...
And at his darkest moment...
He was channeling all his dark energy into studying and building his business empire.
After 10 years its bear fruit!
With his strong will, he became a very wealthy businessman.
And his mother came along!
Then she publicized their relationship as mother and son.
At that moment, he was happy...
For he craved his mother acknowledgment...
Day and night he had worked hard like an ox plowing the field to meet her expectation, however, his wealth is not enough, all she ever wanted is revenge...
Eventually...
He complied...
Until...
He had enough of it when her mother forced him to marry Debra Lin. Over 15 years, they had been staying next to each other -for Debra Lin following him around like a stalker- , he realized how shallow and dull Debra Lin is, compared to Leah Shen. Their childhood relationships never get closer, instead gradually, she became like a stranger to him. A greedy, vicious, and tedious woman. He had never wanted to marry her, but his mother used her life to threaten him, thus pushed him to the point of no return...
The point of insanity...
Burying himself with a new face and identity to change his destiny...
It is working?
At this moment, his wife is romancing with another man.
With a painful expression, he looked at the intimate picture on his hands.
Shaking from painful agony of deep jealousy, he tore off the picture.
He will get her back...
He will make her fall in love with him again...
He will change his destiny and live happily ever after with her.
No one will take her away from him.
To be with her, all his sacrifices are worth it!
A week later...
"Mother! You looked so beautiful!!!".
To her shock, Felicia Lee was looking at her naked face in front of her dressing mirror in the master bedroom.
Her face is completely heal!
She had been covering her face with the veil flower hat that her son had made personally for her. Thus, no one could see her progress except her son!
"The banquet tonight will be a perfect time to reveal and announce your beauty to the world, mother!!", proudly Alexander Lee said.
"A-A banquet?!!".
'Facepalm'. Alexander Lee grimaced with guilt due to his excitement of her mother's face recovery, he had let the secret out.
" It's supposed to be a secret party to announce your position as the new Madam Lee! Could you please still pretend to be in surprise later on tonight, mother?!!".
"Alright! Is your father plan this party?!!".
"No, it's my aunty with the permission of my father!".
Disappointed that it's not Alex Lee's plan, she gazed outside the window with loneliness and longing. Alex Lee had been avoiding any direct contact and conversation with her.
To be honest, she would rather he lashed out on her than the silent treatment.
"Hhhh!". Subconsciously she sighed hard.
"Mother, do I bore you?
"I'm sorry, Xander! My mind is somewhere else!".
"You are different from another woman, mother! You only glanced at your beautiful face for one minute and ignored it. I thought you will jump up and down with your face recovery but you sighed hard instead! Don't you happy that you looked beautiful once again?!!".
Felicia Lee kneels down to be at the same eyes level as her son and while tidying his hair, she replied softly," Xander! I never care about my outward appearance, especially now, since I have lost everything dearest in my life. I just want you to be happy, Xander!!".
"I love you, mother!". Alexander Lee hugged his mother tightly, without hesitation, she hugged him back. Gone was the cold and dignified feature of Alexander Lee, at the moment, he is just a child that loves his mother the dearest.
That's when Alex Lee saw them when he entered the master bedroom to fetch on his Tuxedo for the banquet tonight.
Felicia Lee back curved in front of him, while both of them embraced tightly with eyes closed.
After a while, Alexander Lee opening his eyes and finally realized his father's presence from his resentful aura. He smiled secretly knowing that his father was jealous of him at the moment. Cunningly, he kissed both of his mother's cheeks.
"Enough!", roared Alex Lee in the moment of jealousy, and quickly he recovered to his apathetic appearance to announce coldly," Let me talk to your mother!!".
Smugly, Alexander Lee said," You better treat my mother well, or else...". Leaving his words hanging, Alexander Lee left the room with satisfaction.
Slowly, Felicia Lee rose up to talk to her husband privately for the first since their wedding.
"..."
Words can't describe Alex Lee's reaction when he saw Felicia Lee's beautiful goddess face glowing with a little help of sunlight from outside the window. He gasped in disbelief.
Indifferently, Felicia Lee sat on the king-size bed while staring at her husband's dumbfounded face.
