Chapter 41

Nini was shocked to hear the former lecturer standing in front of her saying that she disappeared because she followed another man?! There was no way she would treat Sophie like that when she loved Sophie so much and they never even divorced, she was kidnapped while wanting to monitor the progress of her company in Narieth Country. She only got to see her daughter once because she was busy with research at the time. Only Sophie took care of Averill who was just over a year old at that time and Melly also often came to the house to help Sophie when Sophie was on a mission. Melly plays a lot of the role of a mother to her child rather than herself. Maybe that's why Sophie chose Melly to be her successor. She shook her head when she heard Zhang Chuan's words in front of her. Even through, after giving birth to Averill she still angry at Sophie and plus with her busy managing the company she rarely come home. She really angry when she found out that her first time robs by Sophie that night, she was drugged by someone and she blame her wife, she love her wife but because of that incident she pregnant early and hate Sophie for that. After she heard the man in front of her admitted that he the one drugged her that night, she feel happy because it was Sophie with her not this crazy man and she cannot imagine if it him that night, she may crazy.

She once rejected the love of the man in front of her now, not only old, Zhang Chuan was also her lecturer at that time and she secretly liked Sophie. She only liked that woman and couldn't possibly like Zhang Chuan who was already almost thirty years old. If there wasn't even Sophie, she couldn't possibly like Zhang Chuan who was crazy and didn't know the meaning of rejection. Zhang Chuan often follows after her, after expressing his love for Nini and this makes Nini feel scared. She never told Sophie when Sophie wanted her to be honest. When Zhang Chuan also found out that she and Sophie had been together and she was pregnant with Averill at the time, threatened her to abort her week-old baby and she couldn't have done that despicable act even though the child she conceived was not planned and happened while she and Sophie be a friend that time.

Zhang Chuan did all kinds of things to abort the pregnancy, but to no avail, until she gave birth to Averill and she was kidnapped by Zhang Chuan. She heard that it was Zhang Chuan himself who spread the rumor that she was following another man but behind the story she was kidnapped and locked in this room for years. Day and night she prayed that there would be someone who could take her out. Zhang Chuan never abused her and even tried to touch her but the insults thrown at her made her sad. Zhang Chuan manipulated her mind to make her hate Sophie whom she loved so much, hoping that she would accept Zhang Chuan's love. There was no way she could accept the animal in front of her who was still laughing uproariously.

She did not intend to answer all of Zhang Chuan's words because Zhang Chuan himself must have known the answer.

She woke up from her reverie when she heard a threat from Zhang Chuan who was squatting in front of her. She was disgusted when he approached her.

"So far I haven't been able to seize Alpha Corp but with Averill's imminent death it will definitely fall into my hands."

"Averill also didn't realize that this hand was going to kill her. You also know, don't you, that Nini, who I snagged up, would do anything to eliminate the Alpha lineage in this world. I hate her because she is the child you gave birth to with that woman! It supposed to be my child not her. You left me because of her, you rejected my love because of her! You cannot leave me if I cannot be with you and another also cannot especially Sophie Alpha."

"The police can't possibly catch me, they can't believe that people like me, popular, high reputation and handsome would do such a cruel thing."

"You also know about the experiment I did, that's the second reason I kidnapped you."

"I will definitely rule this world and when Sophie also dies, Melly also dies then, you will be a widow and that's the moment I'm waiting for. We're going to get married, whether you want it or not, it's all in my hands."

Nini who heard the threat was also very scared, she would lose her wife, child and twin sister if Zhang Chuan acted. If only she could get out of this prison and tell them Zhang Chuan's cruel plan. She knew of the experiment he was conducting at that moment and intended to report it to her wife but Zhang Chuan stepped one step ahead of her and began to set the pace by kidnapping her.

Nini did not answer his words and let him talking by himself. She hate him so much and feel useless at the moment too because she cannot help her daughter, wife and twin sister. She rather dies that married with someone like Zhang Chuan. She feels disgusted by his words and forces her to marry him after everyone kill by him. I will kill myself first than marry him.

"You are mine alone in this world and if you run away even once I will still find you. Don't ever try to think of running away from the very beautiful room I prepared for you."

"It's good enough that I didn't use you as a sample for my experiment. This is because I'm feel ashamed if your flawless skin looks flawed and unattractive when we get married later."

" Do you understand?. One more thing, eat the food sent by my assistant because your body is getting thinner and it looks like the skeleton of a human body. Only visible bones but no fat at all. Try to think that Sophie, who is married, maybe they have children too now because you left her long time ago to be with another man. I also heard that their child is now 6 months old."

He laughed again when he saw Nini's expression as if she wanted to cry again.

"Don't cry, dear." He persuaded Nini and tried to wipe away the tears that were dripping down the pale cheeks but before Zhang Chuan's twitching fingers touched her cheeks she brushed them away roughly. Zhang Chuan who felt his hand being pushed aside just smiled sarcastically. He laughed and left the room and closed the door tightly and locked it. The sound of that high-pitched laughter could still be heard.

Nini who was inside ended up crying loudly when Zhang Chuan's last words stated that Sophie and Melly were already married and had a 6-month-old child. Sophie couldn't do that to her when she already fall in love with her all this time and she also believed that Melly wouldn't take away the person she loved. Although she tried to calm herself at that moment, the words rang in her ears.

She stopped crying earlier and now started crying again when she remembered those words that seemed to pierce her heart and tear it apart. She seemed to want to strangle Zhang Chuan at this moment and at the same time wanted to run out of the room. She is willing to die there rather than marry Zhang Chuan who likes to hurt her heart. She had been locked in that room for ten years and was staring at the pictures of Sophie and Melly that were attached to the wall. It's like a soul drain and it is luckily now she's not crazy.

She really misses her wife, her smile, needs her, her words of encouragement, when she seduces her and also teases her wife and her daughter who hasn't seen each other in years, maybe now Averill has also grown up and she also wants to see her daughter, hug her daughter which she gave birth to the person she loved so much. Until when she was there then accompanied by darkness without bright light? She is always accompanied by tears, it really hurts her and her life. Locked in this room, she doesn't even know the situation outside whether it's night or day, she doesn't even know what date it is today. It was so easy for Zhang Chuan to hurt her heart and feelings. Although, he never abused her physically but she was also mentally ill. She only wears a black shirt and pants; the room also has a toilet and is also shared with the bathroom. It was very uncomfortable and after many years here she only learned the meaning of appreciating and being accompanied by memories with her wife every moment. That memory is also one of the sources of her strength to not be consumed by Zhang Chuan's inciting words.

She was trying to get out of this room from the beginning but she was getting weaker day by day. Although the food and drink given to her looked good, she had no appetite. Even when she was in university, she always ate bread for breakfast; it was still delicious because she was accompanied by Sophie Alpha. Here, no matter how delicious the food and drinks are sent, she still feels disgusted. She heard the ceiling of the room as if someone was gently knocking it...

...

A few hours before the event happened.

Averill who was standing in the guest room was coaxing the crying Avery, the maids moved things and the baby crib into her and Eliza's bedroom. She felt it was better if they were both in the room and didn't have to go to the guest room if their child was crying and it was also closer to them. Avery is still small and needs them both compared to Aurora who is already 7 years old. Today her eldest daughter was studying in the downstairs room accompanied by Eliza. The teacher hired to teach her at home is also an experienced teacher who often teaches home-schooled children. Today Eliza accompanies Aurora because she is worried that her child will not get used to or fear the teacher who teaches her. Her expectations were completely wrong, her daughter was very friendly and talked non-stop with the teacher who was teaching. Even so, she obeys and does what her teacher question or asks her, she also completes the homework given by his teacher in the class. Eliza who saw her hard work smiled sweetly at her daughter and Aurora who saw it also returned the smile while winking. She didn't know where Aurora learned the technique, probably from Averill who always winked at her when they were eating.

She sat there for almost 30 minutes watching the teacher who was teaching her daughter and the class ended. The teacher praises Aurora who diligently completes her homework and often asks questions. After the teacher left the room, Aurora ran towards her mother who at the same time got up from the sofa where she was sitting.

"Mommy, look at this painting." She showed the drawing she had drawn to her mother. Eliza also saw the drawing her daughter showed her. The picture drawn by her daughter was like two stick people and one's hair was color with blond and the other's hair was color black, two children, one tall and one short. This is a picture of them as a family and there is also something drawn like a ball and around its neck there is a red rope being held by the slightly taller child. Eliza who was also surprised asked her daughter.

"Baby, what is this?" She asked her daughter as she pointed to the picture with her finger.

Aurora replied smoothly as she looked at the picture. She asked her mother to bent down her body and lower her head so that the height was also in line with her head. Eliza also lowered her head and Aurora whispered in her ear saying.

"It's a puppy, mommy." She said shyly but full of energy and showing her cure smile curving dimples in it

"This is a puppy? Where did Aurora see this puppy?"

"On TV but it's okay if mom and mommy buy one, a puppy for Aurora."

When she heard her daughter asking to buy a puppy, Eliza was silent for a moment and then returned to answer her daughter. She gently held her daughter's little hand.

"Baby, the responsibility of taking care of a puppy is heavy, you know. Baby, you need to give it a bath, feed it, and accompany the puppy and so on."

"I can take care of a puppy, mommy. Can you buy me a puppy?" She started hugging her mother's waist, who no longer bent her body like before.

"Aurora, wait for mommy to discuss it with your mom, okay."

When she heard that mommy wanted to talk to her mother first she was relieved because she knew that her mother would definitely agree. She felt her mother would advise her and after that invite her and mommy to the animal store to choose a puppy. She felt very happy and jumped with joy.
