Zhan POV

"You probably have no idea what I'm talking about, do you?" Frank asked Yibo.

"You see Zhan, I and his friend Zhoucheng we go way back. They used to call us the three musketeers in college" He said. I watched Yibo's eyes widen in shock.

"The problem was that I wanted to be the bad guy, they were the reason why I was in prison in the first place. So now its payback time" he said chuckling "I've been looking for Zhan's weakness for years, I just never thought the opportunity would present itself in such a beautiful manner." he stroked a strand of his hair.

Frank turned to me, pointing the gun straight to my head "I should kill you right now for all that you've cost me you son of a bitch" he hissed. And then turned back to Yibo.

"But that would be all too easy; I want to make you suffer, and how better to do that than make you watch the man you love die in front of you." he said.

I watched Yibo's eyes light up with realization; he finally saw that I loved him and why we couldn't be together. I was trying to protect him from this, from psychopaths like Frank, who would use him to spite me.

Fresh tears came down his face; I looked at him remorsefully.

I was sorry that I put him through this, through pain and heartbreak but mostly I was sorry that I put his life in jeopardy.


"Aw, I don't know whether having him love you is a blessing or curse because I was going to kill you quickly and painlessly. But having made this discovery I'm going to do it slowly and painfully; just so he could watch you scream in agony" Frank said, grabbing his necklace.

"Fuck" he said removing his hand as though the necklace burnt him "What the hell?" he asked looking at Yibo "What did you do?" "Nothing" he replied quickly.

"Bullshit" he shouted angrily "Take it off now" he instructed pointing his gun at me

"No Yibo don't!" I said, as he tried to unhook it. "I can't," he said, struggling with it.

"What do you mean you can't?" Frank asked angrily "I will kill him"

"No, please. You can take the necklace, just please let him go" he screamed, Frank lowered his gun looking at him.

"You are willing to die for him?" he asked incredulously

"Yes, you can take the damn necklace just stop this" he pleaded. Both Frank and I stared at him in shock; he loved me that much? That he would die for me?

Frank laughed bringing his gun back to me "Well isn't this touching, too bad I don't like happy endings" he said and pulled the trigger; I didn't even have time to close my eyes.

"NO!" Yibo screamed as I waited for the impact but it never came; shocked I noticed two things. The round emerald stone on Yibo's necklace was glowing; something I've never seen before, and the bullet was stuck in mid air and then it fell to the ground.

"Amazing" Frank exclaimed looking at Yibo "I was right, you can control it"

I took Frank's moment of distraction and snapped the neck of the man that was holding me. I grabbed my guns opening fire on all the men that came charging at me. Yibo stomped his foot on the man that was holding him, making him stagger back in pain, I took that chance and shot him too.

"Run!" I screamed at him, but he didn't move.

"No" Frank shrieked, grabbing his own gun off the floor and shot in my direction, I ducked and it hit my leg making me fall to the ground, damn it.

"Zhan!" I heard Yibo scream and Frank grabbed him before he could reach me "Oh no, you're not going anywhere" he said, pointing his gun to his head. "You are going to pay for that," he hissed in fury and Frank chuckled.

I saw Yibo's necklace glow again and much to my shock his eyes turned completely black. "What the..." Frank exclaimed shocked as he was floated into the air, Yibo turned his black gaze to him and he let out an ear-splitting scream as what sounded like bones started cracking.

Other men came flooding into the lounge room and they too just floated like Frank. 

My mind couldn't comprehend what was happening but something told me to stop this "Yibo" I shouted at him but he didn't respond, he kept staring at the men he was torturing.

I struggled to get up with one good leg; I went to his side. I didn't know if touching him was any good, he looked like he was in some kind of unblinking trance.

"Yibo?" I shouted again, shaking him. His head snapped to me and his necklace stopped glowing; the black faded as his eyes returned back to hazel.

The men all came down to the ground, they all looked alive; I thought with relief, "Zhan?" he asked weakly, and then he collapsed, Fufu and Angela both came running down the stairs.

"Yibo?" I shouted at him, shaking him but he didn't respond "Fufu call police" I screamed at them when I couldn't feel his pulse.

"Yibo please, don't do this to me!" I said, giving him CPR, "I called them, and Bill, they are on their way" Angela said, crying. "Yibo please, come back to me please" I begged but he still didn't respond.

"Zhan" Fufu said through her tears touching my shoulder. I shook off her hand "He's not dead!" I shouted at her "He can't be"

He couldn't die, where would that leave me? My parent's death wasn't going to be nearly as painful as his. I couldn't live without him. He was my reason for everything, why I breathed, why I woke up in the morning; I woke up knowing I would see his beautiful face. "Yibo I love you, please I'm begging you" I shouted, shaking him gently but still no response, no pulse.

I let out a pained scream and buried my head in his neck.

Fufu dropped to his knees beside me, crying uncontrollably taking me into her arms, this time I couldn't fight her off, there was nothing to fight for.
