The Unwritten Chapter - LingOrm

MANIPULATIVE SCHEME

Orm, visibly hurt, watched Lingling and Win's intimately with a heavy heart. She was bothered by the presence of the two.

"Try this, Hun." Lingling offered him a bite, which he accepted eagerly. She then glanced over at the blonde girl, who has been looking at them at the other table. The CEO cringed at the affectionate gesture, but she knew she had to maintain the facade to see her reaction.

"You're so wife material. can't wait to marry you." He said. She faked him a sweet smile.

Ying's gaze was fixed on the two people. She could no longer contain the scene. This was a side of Lingling that she had never seen before, causing her first-ever sense of disappointment in their long friendship. If Orm didn't intervene, She was on the verge of taking drastic action against the two. In this moment, her only concern was her cousin, who was deeply wounded by their actions.

"Really Orm, I can't bear to see you in pain like this. I have to do something." Ying stated through clenched teeth and stood up which made the younger woman to hold her arm. "Just let them Phi. Let's just eat quickly and leave." Despite the pain reflected in her eyes, which Lingling found satisfaction in.

She ignored her and removed her hand from her arm and marched towards the two. "Why are you doing this, Ling?"

Lingling looked at her sarcastically. "Oh ying. I didn't realize you're also here."

"Stop this, you're just hurting Orm."

The short woman shifted her attention to the younger girl and directed her words to her friend. "Hurting? Why? Is it because Win didn't respond to her attempts of seduction?"

Ying gritted her teeth in frustration. "Orm and Win cannot be in a romantic relationship as you believe because–"

Her cousin immediately grasped her. "Phi, let's just leave please."

Ying looked at her in disbelief. "But–"

Orm with pleading eyes, shakes her head, making her sighed frustratingly.

Lingling was confused at first, but she thought it was silly and didn't pay much attention. "I'm sure you know what your good girl cousin did."

"Yes, I am aware of what she did. I also know how you speak ill of her as if she were an animal." Ying responded with a strong tone, locking eyes with her intensely, as if they were not best friends but enemies.

"I can see that you don't even care about her actions and you simply tolerate them." The CEO said mockingly, crossing her arms in a dismissive manner.

"Oh, is that so? Yes, because she didn't do anything wrong."

Lingling chuckled sardonically. "I wouldn't be surprised. She's your cousin after all."

"That's enough. Just go." Win interjected, directing these words at Orm and Ying with a stern expression on their face.

Ying looked at him, but he wouldn't look back at her. "I know what you did. I hope you don't regret the lies you told." The air was thick with tension and suspicion. Her words made it clear that she knew the truth, and she was waiting for him to admit what he had done.

She then turned her gaze back to her friend, her expression hardened. "You've not only lost Orm but also me as your Best friend."

Ying turned to Orm, took her hand, and they walked away, leaving Lingling standing there who was so angry that she couldn't control herself. She was confused and upset, and said things that hurt other people.

When Orm got home, she felt really stressed out. She wanted to feel better, so she took a warm bath, hoping it would help her forget about the things that happened that day. The bath made her feel a little bit better for a short time, but it couldn't make all the problems go away.

After that, her mom asked how her day was. She didn't know how upset her daughter was feeling. Orm didn't want to worr her mom, so she pretended to be okay. "It was fine, Mom. I'm just glad I finally graduated from college."

But then her mom said something that made her fake smile disappear. "Honey, Win told me you go to clubs a lot. He thinks you should move her with me. I don't want to stop you from having fun, but I just want you to be safe and not do anything crazy."

Orm was really angry at the mention of his name and his opinions. She was already upset, and hearing her mom say that made her even more frustrated. She felt like she was about to explode with anger, but she tried to stay calm.

"I understand mom. I'll talk to you soon." She said and ended the call.

After the call ended, she couldn't hold back her anger anymore. She threw her phone down and started yelling, really mad and upset. She was so angry at him for making her feel bad and for telling her mom things that weren't true. She realized she had been too trusting and naive, tired of being used and lied to. She was no longer going to be a victim and determined to stand up for herself and fight back.

Orm woke up in the afternoon. She stretched her body and yawn. She felt her phone buzzed, checking it she saw a message from the person she despised the most. "Meet me at this place when you're free today." He also sent her the location. It seems like Win wants to meet up with her, and she probably wants to talk to him too.

She got ready to meet him. She drove to the park near the university where he told her to meet him and parked her car then went inside. She saw him standing there with his back on her. "What do you want to talk?"

When he heard her voice, he turned around and walked towards her and gave her an envelope. Orm looked at it with a confused face and slowly opened it. Inside was a plane ticket.

"What's this?" She was taken aback by the unexpected contents.

"It's a plane ticket. Your mom has agreed for you to leave the country and go to London." Win stated dismissively.

She raised the envelope, her tone turning harsh. "Why are you making decisions for me?"

He chuckled nonchalantly. "I don't care about you and your life decisions. I just want you to leave Lingling alone."

"Are you not satisfied with ruining me? Now you're dictating my actions and manipulating my mom? What more do you want?" She fought back, frustrations evident in her voice and laughed bitterly before continuing, "Congratulations, you've succeeded in your devious plan. If only I had known your intentions, I would have avoided you from the start."

"I am now your stepbrother, You should obey me. It's not my fault that you trusted me so quickly."

Her voice cracked. "Why are you doing this to me? I never did wrong to you. My only mistake was trusting someone I thought was like a brother to me."

"I can't stand seeing you with Lingling. I won't let you take her away from me." Win expressed angrily. "How foolish of her to believe what she saw without knowing the truth first. She had no idea I was your stepbrother." He laughed, while Orm's eyes filled with tears and anger.

"Yes, You win! You have Lingling now. She chose to believe in you over me. You're heartless.." She choked on her tears, her voice trembling a little.

He then grabbed her shoulders, forcing her to look at him. "You're right. I won. All I had to do was put on an act and use my innocent face, right? That way, I got her." He smirked, attempting to touch her face.

"Don't you dare touch me, you coward!" Orm pushed him away in rage.
