Xio-Rui POV
When I pictured my sisters life I always pictured her living in a palace, something that looked like it came right out of a Disney princess movie. Lavish yet elegant, the best way to show off her personality. Stepping into the house she has lived in for the past two years with Beichen is like what I would picture Satan himself to live in. There is more black and greys in this big villa than is deemed normal. Clearly it represents his personality, dark and gloomy. The other thing I noticed is the the lack of pictures of a loving couple, there is however a picture of Beichen and the infamous Luna Shen posing side by side smiling happily at some event. If I didn't know that my sister was married to the demon I would have thought Luna was. The housekeeper aunt lu walks to me with a smile on her face, Aunt Lu had been someone i planted in here the moment I knew my sister was destined to marry him. Along with the maids and the security guards, every single one of them are my people. The knew they could never stop the abuse fully but they knew that if they walked past Beichen would stop out of fear that they would tell people outside. After all his image outside was more important than his own wife's life.
"Every room has been bugged per your request, the camera's that Beichen has have malfunctioned temporarily for it to be connected with the temple."
"Thank you. What about this Luna?"
"She is what we call a 'green tea bitch'." I can't help the chuckle that escapes my lips when she says that. Aunt Lu was my nanny back at the temple, she is more like a mother to me than my own mother so to hear her swear is slightly comical.
"It has been ages since i heard you laugh." We both turn to see Beichen walking in with the she devil herself attached to his arm. She smirks at me like she has got one over on me but this girl has no idea who she is messing with. I can swallow the bile in my throat and act like I find Beichen the most devastatingly handsome guy in the world for revenge. Unlike Roujin I have no issues in playing dirty to get even.
"Aunt Lu was telling me about her grandson. He is so funny and cute. I always wonder what our kids would be like" I look at him dreamily, daring him to take the bait. His eyes scanning me, the shock evident on his face for a split second before he falls hook line and sinker and rushes to me, practically pushing Luna away like she was some used toy. He takes my hands into his hope as clear as diamonds in his eyes.
"You think about having kids with me?" I let out a light chuckle, sounding more innocent than I truly am and step closer to him. I take my right hand and put it on his cheek, a smile spreading across his face.
"Of course i do. If it was a boy it would look exactly like you but have my cooking skills."
"And if it was a girl?"
"Well it would look like me and have your protective nature" I smile brightly at him, picturing him dying a thousand deaths in my mind so that I don't blow the whole plan right away and kill them both on the spot. For me this revenge has to be as long and as cruel as what he did to Roujin. If I have to act in the meantime then so be it. Either way the end will be just the same.
His demise.
"Baby I thought you never wanted children, this makes me so happy." He pulls me into his broad chest, Luna staring daggers at us. I watch as she glares for a moment more and then slyly smirks. She suddenly grips her stomach and wails in pain. The sound as fake as her botched nose job.
"Beichen my stomach hurts. Can you take me to bed?" Before Beichen can answer I look to Aunt lu.
"Aunt Lu has the perfect cure for stomach ache. Would you mind making some for Miss Shen whilst Beichen takes her to the guest room, it should help clear the stomach ache right up." She gives me a questioning look but agrees whilst Beichen smiles at me and places a kiss on my forehead.
"That is kind of you baby. I will take her to the guest room and come right back" I nod and watch as the two walk down the hall way to the guest bedroom. I look to Aunt Lu and smirk.
"Remember that soup you made when master was unable to go to toilet? I think Miss Shen is in desperate need to cure her stomach ache"
Aunt Lu chuckles before walking towards the kitchen, I walk down the corridor that Beichen and Luna walked down moments ago and stop outside of the spare bedroom door. The two talking lowly but thankfully not low enough that I can't hear.
"Beichen, do you really not love me?. You haven't left my side since I returned. why can't you just divorce her and be with me?"
"Luna I don't love you. I was using you to make Roujin jealous, it will only ever be her. Don't think I don't know about you playing tricks to get me riled up before. I am warning you now if you fuck with her again I will kill you myself"
Don't worry brother in law by the time I am finished with you both you will be begging for death. My fists clench at my sides at the thought of him purposely hurting Roujin just to make Luna believe that he was on her side. As I stand there motionless, Aunt Lu brings the soup for Luna, I take it out of her hands and whisper lowly in her ear. Aunt Lu nods and leaves for the kitchen once again. Tonight Luna is going to see just what happens when she gets on the wrong side of Beichen Fu.
I walk into the room causing Luna to jump back slightly and trying to make it seem like something indecent was going on. If I wasn't playing the long game I would be making her life even more miserable, faster. However, the dark side of me wants to see her gradually lose her composure, get her to her lowest point and then end her. People like her i have seen too many times, a lot of my clients have had dealings with women that latch on to wealthy married men and break families apart. The final outcome, the wife gets everything whilst the green tea spends time in jail and the husband, well they are a shadow of themselves and have to watch as the woman they really loved marries someone new and is living the life they deserved. When there is money and power involved women like Luna believe they are entitled to it, like they are the worlds only woman that deserves to be living the lavish lifestyle. In their eyes they have worked too hard to let men like Beichen pass by. What they don't realise is that they are nothing but vultures and wouldn't know what hard work meant.
"Roujin, sorry. Please don't misunderstand myself and Beichen we have always been close."
I look at her and chuckle slightly darkly, I place the soup down as she walks to the bed taking a seat on it. She gets in and pulls the duvet over her and then looks to Beichen.
"Can you feed me the soup?" Beichen looks at me and I scoff.
"Why are you looking at me, she is asking you. Oh and miss Shen word of advice, just because you think something is worth it's weight in gold doesn't mean every woman does. Besides I am not the type of woman to fight for something that doesn't naturally belong to me. Not all of us are vultures. Enjoy your green tea."
As i go to walk out Beichen takes my hand but I snatch it away, death glaring him.
"Mr Fu be careful what games you play as I am more than happy to make it an even playing field."
Leaving the guest bedroom I find myself daring him to follow me and get angry. The eagerness to hurt him getting more and more stronger the longer I am in his presence. I knew this was going to be testing but being here for less than three hours and wanting to rip his throat out is showing it is more testing than even I first thought. I find myself imagining how terrified Roujin would be living here. Someone has naive as her believing that a scumbag like Beichen would change when in reality he has no intentions of changing. For him the urge to hurt the women closest to him is too great. I just need to find his trigger point and use it to bring him to his knees and have him beg for mercy at Roujin's feet.
I go into the room that my sister spent most of her time in, the room that she shared with that beast. This room looks and feels more gloomy than the rest of the place. There is nothing here that represents my sister, there are no photos adorned on the black bed room furniture and even the bedding is not something she would pick. Roujin was sunshine colours and loved sentimental things. She loved the finer things in life but also loved gifts that were from the heart. I feel a tear fall down my face, my heart breaking silently for her and the pain that she has gone through. The guilt of not stopping it sooner plaguing me and pushing me to get the justice she deserves.
I walk to the wardrobe where her clothes are and even those are not her usual style. Looking at them it is something that Luna would wear, the over the top conservative look that had more brand names on it like you were a walking build board for the company. Arms wrap around my waist as I fight the urge to throw up, especially when he buries his head into the crook of my neck.
"You okay?"
"Who bought these?" I am looking at the clothes knowing they are definitely not what my sister wears.
"Luna helped me pick them out for you"
"Of course she did"
I move away from his embrace, picking up the outfits from the wardrobe and carrying them out of the room. I walk down the stairs Beichen hot on my tails calling me.
"Beichen what's going on?"
"Not now Luna" He raises his voice at her and I turn to see her stop in her tracks, she looks down to the clothes in my hands and frowns with confusion.
"Roujin what are you doing with those? Beichen picked them out for you personally"
"Don't insult my intelligence. If my husband had even bothered to look he would of known that these are what you would wear. I personally find them disgusting"
I stop in front of the fire place and throw them in. I pick up the blow torch by the side of it and pick up one of the silk Chanel tops setting it alight before throwing it in with the others. I look to a shocked Beichen and Luna, the two not sure what to do or say.
"Anything else that she has picked in my home needs to be removed otherwise i will burn this whole place down with us all in it."
"Roujin don't over react. They are just meaningless things." I tilt my head to the side looking at him with disgust before i stalk closer to him. I run my hand up his covered chest and stare into his dark eyes.
"Would you say the same if I made you wear clothes that another man picked out? would you say the same if I made you live in a house that is surrounded by her vulgar taste?. You wouldn't do that to me would you baby? hmmm" I put on a sickly sweet tone in my voice sounding more psychotic than Roujin ever would. Beichen's nostril flare as he steps even closer.
"Don't push your luck Roujin, luna is nothing to me but I won't tolerate you acting up"
"What are you going to do? Are you going to hit me? I bet you do don't you, i bet you are picturing the relief you will feel if you strangled me right here right now. Better yet"
I reach for the knife off the side and put it to my own throat, Beichen's eyes flickering between panic and fear.
"Do it! Kill me. You know you have pictured it, my lifeless body lying on the floor my last breathe long gone."
"stop it" He shakes his head as i press the knife into my throat a little more.
"Why? Isn't what all this was for? Kill me and then it is Luna's turn. Tell me do you think she will as exciting to hit as it is when you do it to me." I walk forward causing him to step back, shaking his head as he seems to panic even more.
"Do you think her blood will run as clear as mine does? I bet she is a screamer too. What's wrong? Don't you like the thought of hurting your precious Luna."
"Baby stop it please"
Beichen's voice comes out in a pleading tone, the tears welling in his eyes. The security rushes in and all stop when they see what is going on. I get closer to Beichen, Luna looking terrified.
"Roujin that's enough. Beichen and I are in love he would never hurt me"
"Is that so?" I take the knife and put it in Beichen's shaking hand. He looks at me unsure what is going on. When I wrap my hand around his and slowly inch it closer to my body, my grip on his hand tight, not giving him restraint to let go.
"Do it. Show her how much you love her. You can end all this right now"
"I don't want to. Baby I am sorry, please don't do this" Beichen has tears falling down his face, the sadistic side of me loving seeing the distress on his face.
"How many times have I begged you to stop? How many times did I cry when you repeatedly hurt me for that woman."
"I didn't mean to I am so sorry Roujin. I love you, I will cut off ties with Luna just please don't leave me okay?"
He looks at me pleading and I start to laugh as i let his hand go, walking to where a pissed Luna is standing. I get close to her ear so only she can hear what I am about to say.
"Remember your place Luna, the position of Mrs Fu is not yours. You want to be his wife only I can make that happen for you. Now enjoy the effects of the green tea" I pull away from her and smirk before walking towards the bedroom, right now i need a shower to get rid of the stench of Beichen off me. What women see in him is beyond me, the man was good looking but he was a first class ass hole. Maybe just maybe the man's weak spot is the very person that i am protecting from him.
Either way the game has just begun.
