○ Ghost-like elegance pausing in this moment ○

"What do you want from me?" she asked as she gritted her teeth, hatred lacing through every single one of her words. "What I want from you? Oh, how clueless" he chuckled darkly before his eyes met hers, darkness seeping through his black orbs.

"All I've ever wanted in my life were two things, love and power. My wife was the only love I had and I was very grateful for her presence. I treated her like the Queen she was and I lived her with every inch of my being. But there was also the power I wanted. I have worked most of my life trying to be the best of the best and just as I was going to have that title, you took it away from me" he started.

"I've had you on my target list for so long but I never had you on my grid. I worked every night and day just to put a dot on my map of where you could possibly be. My wife claimed that I have gotten mad and left me. She left because she thought that I was too much of a workaholic to care about her" he said.

"An hour later, I got the news from one of my men that she was shot by a drunkard who had weapons with him and fled himself to the woods. And ever since then I haven't been so determined to get you. YOU are responsible for the loss of my beloved wife" he said.

"Since my love was already gone anyways, I decided to go for the power I wanted. I never knew that it would feel this good to be so powerful, so feared, in command" he laughed out loud and she scowled at him. "Is that all you've got? Becoming a psychopath just because you lost your wife to something you wanted as well?" she asked and chuckled.

"Pathetic" she spat and he looked at her, feeling utterly disrespected by her words. And a resounding slap echoed around the walls.

A fist came in contact against the wall, hard as a groan followed it. "ChengCheng, stop hurting yourself" the Queen said as she sighed for the nth time that day. He has been spacing out, punching the wall, breaking everything he sees, overall just things that might harm him and the others. "How can I be so stupid?" he held his head between his hands.

"How could I be so foolish? How could I leave her behind? How could I not check if she was trailing behind me? How could I not realize that she wasn't behind us? How could I let her be pulled away? How could I let her be separated from us, from me?" he asked to himself, throwing a punch for every sentence he says until the wall showed a crack.

"FAN CHENGCHENG" she shouted and he stopped. "Look, I know that you're upset that you left your lover behind and you regret it deeply. But hurting yourself and punching the wall won't bring her back here. You need to calm down" she said. "Calm down? How can I calm down when she's at M's and probably suffering from his abuse?" he said, furious and hurt by his own ignorance.

"She's strong, she'll be able to take it. Would you want her to suffer just because you were the one hurt?" she asked and he shook his head. "Exactly, she wouldn't want you hurting yourself just because she's hurt. She would want you to just be well and, I don't know, find her?" she said and he snapped his head towards her.

"That's it, I can find her and just kill all his men and the man himself" he said. "How would you do that? You were struggling to defeat his 20 men, what more if you have to deal with more of them?" she asked. "We can help" the guards suddenly said. They momentarily forget that the guards were in the same room as they are.

"We have a lot of connections" Shengen said and the rest nodded. "Then help me call them and tell them the situation please" the head guard said before the rest of them nodded, goimg outside of the room to contact their acquaintances and ask for a favor to help the head guard.

"I knew it wasn't a good time to fall in love, I couldn't help myself. Gosh, I just- I knew that love would distract me from doing my job properly" he sighed. "No, she's not distracting you, she's not making you weaker. She's your love, your one and only, the woman you choose to love" she said.

"But you've seen how I reacted when I knew that she was held captive. I've never been like this before. Heck, I don't even know if we have enough help to defeat him" he said. "Adam, she's your home. Love is supposed to feel like you're home, the warmth and coziness embracing your figure. Now, they've taken away your home, take it back" she said.

He was dismissed soon after the guards have reported that their acquaintances agree on helping them. It was then when he thought of his sister. Well of course, his sister was one of the richest and most powerful influencers in the whole world, making her heavily guarded wherever she goes and a lot of people crowding around whenever.

"Why hadn't I thought of that before?" he said to himself, making him feel stupid that he forgot the only sister he had, the only person who was by his side whenever he had problems. He knew that he had never been able to repay what she had done for him and now he has to ask for another favor.

He felt bad for her, felt like he was a failure. But he had to get his love back, with everything he could he had to. He dialed her number and it was immediately picked up. "Jie?" he called out and rustling was heard on the line. "ChengCheng? It's been a long time!" his sister answered cheerfully, welcoming her brother to talk to her.

"Jie, listen to me. I have a lover here and she's being held captive by a man who goes by M. She was captured on our mission which I still blame myself for to this moment. Can you help me?" he asked, hopeful. A chuckle was heard from the other line which made him nervous and doubtful, he did in fact ask for her help too many times already. But her next words made him lose all those bad feelings, the hope coming back to him.

"Anything for my baby brother"
