Yibo POV
Lucy fell asleep soon after we got home; I got back downstairs to find Zhan greeting Sizhui, who has been playing his video game. "I bet I can beat you at this game Dad." He said and I smiled standing at the end of the staircase watching them.
"I'm sure you can buddy," Zhan replied with a slight smile, I noticed he looked tired. Which was weird because he could work forever and still look like he just woke up. His hair looked like he was running his hand through it a lot; something he only did when he was frustrated. His gaze locked on mine and he walked towards me.
"Hi, rough day at..." I said and he cut me off with a bear hug, I chuckled uneasily taken aback. Zhan embraced me a lot but this one felt a little wrong "Alright. Who died?" I asked in a teasing tone, but I was actually anxious. He paused then he lifted his head smiling at me.
"No one." He said cupping my face "I just wanted to hug you." I chuckled "Oh what did I do to deserve such affection." I said and he half smiled "Where's my little girl?" he asked
"She fell asleep an hour ago." I said following him into the kitchen. "You want to tell me what's got you worked up?" I asked and for a split second I thought he tensed.
"The CIA is assembling all the elite agents in New York." He said simply as he made coffee. Taken aback I just silently stared at him, does that mean he too will leave; and for how long?
"Is there a world war 3 brewing?" I asked and he eyed me leaning against the counter with his legs crossed at the ankles. He sipped his coffee, looking sinfully handsome. "You're so melodramatic, it's amusing." He said even though he didn't look amused.
I stood next to him "Are you going?" I asked; it was a stupid question. Of course he was, but a silly part of me hoped he'd say no. I hated being away from him; I could swear it literally causes me physical pain.
He nodded, wrapping his free hand around my waist and pressing his lips to my hair "I'm probably going to be a couple of days." He said, "I'll...be back before you know it." He added.
I nodded slowly "Bradley just disappeared today, do you know where he is?" I asked; his gaze shifted "Yes, something came up with his family he had to leave the state for now. I'll find a replacement for him in the meantime." He said.
"Oh." I said, a little disappointed that he didn't even say goodbye, I thought we were better acquainted than that. Zhan kissed my forehead and went to Sizhui offering him a game.
I stood there trying not to read too much into his mood, something was wrong.
You're being your old paranoid self the little voice in my head told me, and knowing me I was.
Just then, Zhan's kind chef walked in, I decided to help him with dinner just to clear my head.
Zhan finished loading his luggage in his car, I watched him say goodbye to Fufu and the kids. He comforted a crying Lucy; he gave her back to Fufu when she stopped. Fufu offered them ice cream and they both brightened as she went back in with them.
Zhan took me into his arms, embracing me tightly for a short while; he pressed his lips to mine. He kissed me until I was dizzy. "I love you." He whispered before releasing me
"I love you too." I said "You better get out of here, before I hold you captive." I teased. He half smiled and got in the car, I watched his car disappear from the circular driveway; I touched my lips absently. Zhan has never kissed me like that before; did I just imagine the sad edge to it?
Sizhui's voice brought me out of my thoughts; he tugged at my hand. "Come on mom, I saved you some ice cream." He said and I smiled following him inside.
The next few days were as rough as hell, and the fact that Zhan was not answering his phone did not ease my nervousness. He always answered his phone, especially if I'm the one calling.
I sat in our balcony after work and grabbed my phone calling him again, I groaned when it sent me straight to voicemail...again. "You're scaring me zhanzhan, call me please." I said and threw my phone onto the other chair, I probably left a thousand messages and none of them were returned.
I wrapped my arms around my legs stubbornly refusing to succumb to the terrible knot in my stomach. Zhan was supposed to be here yesterday, maybe he got held up but he'd tell me if he was going to be late, wouldn't he?
The following day I was relieved when Bill turned up at the door with two other men I didn't know. That relief was quickly turned into panic and worry, what was he doing here? Was it about Zhan?
Fufu offered them a seat but I stood next to Angie watching them. "What's going on Bill, I know this is not a social visit." I said and he nodded his expression revealing nothing "Please sit Yibo." He said.
I shook my head "Don't tell me to sit down Bill, tell me what this is about." Angie touched my shoulder, her anxious eyes pleading with me to comply. I sat down not taking my gaze off Bill; she sat next to me.
Bill took a deep breath and simultaneously my heart started racing, this was bad. "Zhan never made it to New York." He said and I thought I didn't hear him over my drumming heart.
"What do you mean he never made it?" I whispered, he looked down "I was informed that his jet experienced engine failure, it crashed." He said and I heard Fufu gasp and Angie put her face in her hands.
My mind however couldn't comprehend what Bill was saying, and then everything went blank...
"Yibo?" I heard someone say, I opened my eyes to see a distressed Angie hovering over me. It crashed, those words made an echo in my head. For a split second I thought I dreamt the whole thing but when I woke up I was still living in that nightmare.
"No." I said quickly siting up and my gaze locked with Bill "Where is he? How..."
"We've been looking into it, the plane is in ruins but we didn't find the bod...him." He said; I flinched standing up. I didn't even want to think about any other outcome, he just had to have survived somehow.
My gaze fixated on Bill and his eyes widened as he slightly lifted from the ground as I used my powers. The two men with him stood up, and Angie screamed when I heard their guns cock in my direction. I kept my gaze on Bill "Put your damn guns down you morons." He hissed at them before looking at me.
"Yibo you know I care for Zhan, we are doing everything we can..."
"Don't play games with me Bill." I snapped, "This is my whole life we're talking about. Find my husband...fast." I said then let him down. "We'll do our best." He said then he paused "I'm sorry." He added.
I refused to acknowledge his sympathetic words, I couldn't think like that; I would go over the edge if I did. "Get out." I said and they left closing the door behind them.
I took a moment before I staggered back to the sofa, covering my mouth with both my hands, afraid of letting out the scream of agony that rumbled in my chest. The last thing I felt were Angie and Fufu's arms around me,
Zhan...
