The Plot

At this very moment Liu Wei is sitting in her car, slowly digesting all that had been said by Prince Maxim. She is still in disbelief and rightfully so... anyone would be if they were told such a tall story, and hard to disseminate and process.

She finally started her car, and drove off. After half an hour on auto pilot she ended up in front of Su Kai's house. Not knowing how she got there, she looked around and realized that she instinctively ended up driving back to her lovers house. Perhaps deep down she knew that she just needed that man to hold her and make her feel that everything will be alright. That she could put this crazy day into the past and move forward with her current life.

The front door opens, and out walks a handsome and dashing Su Kai. He saw her pulling up onto the driveway earlier and came out to meet her. He knew that she had something important to do earlier that day and even though he was curious, he chose to be patient and wait for her to tell him herself.

He opens the driver side and squats down, noticing that she is quiet and a little out of it he leans over and kisses her forehead. Liu Wei didn't seem to have the strength to move, so she sat in the car as she looks up at him. So much vulnerability could be seen in that look.

Su Kai knew she didn't need any comforting words at this moment and so he didn't offer any. He merely picked her up and held her close to him allowing her to feel his warmth. He then carried her back into the house, resting her head on his shoulders she promptly allowed herself to let go of the tension she had been holding onto.

"Bring me some warm food" Su Kai instructed his servants

He fed her and afterwards he lovingly took care of her. Drawing a bath for her and washing the dirt and grime from the day. He never once asked her if she needed to talk because he knew she must have experienced something that was hard for her to cope and all he could do was just be there for her. When she's ready she will tell him.

Finally she looks up at him and says with worry in her eyes... "Our contract is almost up... I know that in your past contracts you never extend longer than the arranged time. We should make the best out of our remaining time together"

He totally forgot that they were in a contracted relationship, for him this woman had already wormed her way into his heart and life. When he closed his eyes to think of a world without her in it, his chest would hurt. He didn't know when he started thinking of her as his woman and not someone to satiate his carnal needs.

"No, you are not going anywhere. I won't allow it" He said to her but it seemed more like a vow to himself. She was a light in his dark world. When all he ever cared about was increasing his net worth, this woman with her quirky and unique self slowly waltz into his line of sight and became a permanent fixture in his daily life.

"You're tired go and sleep, we'll talk later." She nods and allows herself to drift off into deep sleep.

Su Kai stood up and stared at her beautiful sleeping visage. He quietly exits the bedroom and heads towards his study.

In the Study, Su Kai opens up a secret panel that house a huge monitor and on it was a man dressed all in black.

"How is the interrogation coming along?" he says to the man.

"After hours of torture they finally broke..." the man hesitated before continuing his report. "Apparently it was your Uncles who ordered the hit"

There was no surprise on Su Kai's face upon hearing that his blood relatives wanted him dead. It wasn't a secret and his Aunts and Uncles didn't hide their disdain for him. His grandfather was the only kin that he acknowledged.

From what he knew, his uncles always thought of him as a thorn on their sides. He knew this day would come, so he already prepared himself emotionally.

"I see, are they after grandfathers' life as well?"

"No sir, it was only you that they targeted. They wanted to make it look like a rival company ordered a hit on you so that the world would not assume that it was an internal strife. How do you want me to handle these men?"

"Kill them all and make sure that their bodies are never discovered." A flash of coldness could be seen on Su Kai's face.

His uncles dare try to kill him in such a public setting and when his woman and grandfather was with him? I guess they just couldn't hold off on pretending to get along with him. Greed can be such a terrible vice, Su Kai knew that with him out of the way all of the Su Industries would fall into the hands of his Uncles.

If they really want to fight with him then he could only oblige them. It would be impolite for him not to reciprocate their kind gestures.

He picked up his cell phone and dialed a number.

"My uncles seems to be quite restless these days, I think we need to give them something to do. Sabotage their side businesses, make sure that they are completely unable to make a comeback."

"Yes sir"

In the Su household, Su Kai's uncles were livid that their assassination's attempt was foiled.

"What is wrong with those idiots? There were so many of them and they all failed?!!!"

"Calm down eldest brother, we don't know what happened perhaps Su Kai had brought a lot of bodyguards with him" Su Bao tried to reason and calm his older brother down.

"It was the most perfect opportunity to get rid of Su Kai, the upcoming Summit would have been a great way to introduce me as the new CEO of the Su Industries."

"Yes, but he is very smart we need to tread carefully here."

"What the hell are you going on about? You know that we have been bidding our time all this while, we need to hit him where it hurts. I hear that he is clinging more and more to that CEO of Li Corporation. It seems that he has feelings for her, we can use that to our advantage. Have someone abduct her and use her to threaten him."

"That's a great idea~! I will contact the people I know in the underground gang. We could make it appear that some hooligans kidnapped her which wouldn't implicate us at all."

As the two uncles were formulating their next plan, they didn't notice that they had already caught the attention of a devil. A man that they should never have crossed, if they only knew the bad deeds that Su Kai had done in the dark, they would never have crossed this line.
