I hate you, devil!

Another Avenger

"Xiaolei… don't run." A hoarse voice coming from a good looking man with delicate and soft facial features crept through Luo Xiaolei's body like she just heard the call of death, causing her feet to wobble in fear until she fell down on her own.

"Jinhan…! What's going on with you? Why are you doing this to me?! Wake up!" she cried as she crawled on her hands and knees. She was still wearing a white gown since this was their wedding night. This man was the person she just married hours ago and yet he was now like a madman looking at her with those terrifying eyes, telling her that he would definitely kill her.

They were in a secluded villa for their honeymoon and everything was completely fine just a moment ago. This man who had always been so kind and caring to her suddenly changed as if he was possessed by a demon the moment they both entered their bedroom on their first night together. He suddenly held a knife in his hand and his kind and innocent eyes were instantly filled with nothing but hate and bloodlust.

Luo Xiaolei's instinct made her run away but the entire villa suddenly felt like it turned into a dark place, a haunted setting, the perfect place for him to kill her. All the doors were shut closed as if she was suddenly imprisoned in an empty killing dungeon. He chased her, moving like he was a walking dead until Luo Xiaolei slowly lost all her strength. She, who had always been a strong woman was cornered to this extent by none other than her newly wedded husband.

Luo Xiaolei was a powerful business woman, labelled as the queen of no mercy, she became a mighty CEO when she was just 25 and at 28, she had just married this perfect doting boyfriend of hers. Her life was the life of a perfect protagonist. She was a modern day Cinderella. She was tortured when she was younger by her father's mistress and of course, just like what a typical protagonist would do, Luo Xiaolei studied hard and worked hard to rise to the top. She spent her youth learning everything until she finally took her most awaited revenge on all the people who wronged her.

She destroyed the people who caused her mother's death, like a vengeful phoenix, until she achieved the peak of her success. She was able to reclaim her crown, everything that was supposed to be hers. Her revenge was a success. She was able to throw those people out to hell, making them experience the pain she went through in their hands. Yes, everything was flowing perfectly. She was the protagonist and she thought that since everything and everyone had been returned to their rightful place, this would now be the start of her happy ever after. But what was happening now? How did her happy ever after end up like this?

"J-jinhan…! What's going on with you?! Stop being like this! Please!" Luo Xiaolei shouted, her voice loud but strained, thinking that she could wake him up but a bitter and painful smile curved on his face that Luo Xiaolei had never seen before.

"Xiaolei… I'm sorry. But I'm here to take my revenge on you." The man said, causing Luo Xiaolei's eyes to widen in fear and confusion.

"W-what are you saying? You are not making any sense at all! Jinhan, please wake up!" She screamed once again but the man gripped the knife in his hand as he moved one step closer.

"Xiaolei… I'm the son of that woman you drove to madness, five years ago." He said and Luo Xiaolei's mouth turned agape in shock. The woman she drove mad five years ago, wasn't she her father's mistress who caused her mother's death?

"What are you saying? Y-y-you're Mo Lifeng's son?" her lips trembled and Yun Jinhan once again smiled bitterly.

"Mm. Indeed, I am, Xiaolei." He admitted and Luo Xiaolei felt like the world suddenly turned upside down, as if the gods were playing a prank on her life. She denied it, unable to make herself believe what he said but something triggered in her subconscious mind and she realized that Yun Jinhan was saying the truth. She remembered the report she received back then that her father's mistress, Mo Lifeng already had a son before she met her father.
