My Fated Companion

Chapter 7

Dingding's P.O.V.

I have been dangling in midair for two hours now. I am so tired and I am so hungry. The crew thought it would be easier if they just left me hanging up here instead of bringing me up and down and up and down. I obviously had no say in this whatsoever.

I watched as Ruwei began filming a fight scene. I do have to say that he looks quite nice when he's fighting. I felt myself move; at first, I thought it was just the wind blowing me around since I am pretty high up in the air. But then, the wire suddenly snapped.

Now there was only one side of the wire holding me up, so I let out a terrified scream and hoped that that wire wouldn't break as well. Everyone started panicking as they grabbed mattresses underneath me, a bunch of people also gathered beneath me.

Oh my goodness, the wire fully snapped. Now, I'm free-falling in midair. I continued screaming as I began heading towards the ground. I won't die, but it's high enough to break several bones and cause quite some damage.

Just as I was about to hit whatever they placed underneath me, I suddenly felt myself crash into something, more like someone. I felt a very tight arm around me. I nervously looked up to see Ruwei using one arm to hold onto a rope while the other to hold onto me.

Once we landed safely on the ground, I fell down because my knees and legs were weak. Everyone yelled my name as they helped me up. The director got extremely frustrated and started lashing out at the crew members in charge of the wires.

"Dingding, are you sure you're okay?" Jake asked as I nodded and pushed everyone away. I took a small break from filming and sat down in my chair, giving my temples a well-needed massage.

"This next scene is the scene where Dingding's character gets poisoned." The director said as we got into position once everyone rested for half an hour. "Action!" He yelled as I clutched my chest and put on a very painful expression. Logan, the evil man, approached me.

"Amelia, your husband will be here any second. The poison that is circulating your bloodstream can only be cured by my antidote. He will trade his life for yours." He said evilly as I collapsed onto the ground and coughed up blood; I continued coughing as Josh (Ruwei) appeared with his men.

"You dare harm my Empress???" Ruwei yelled, "If I were you, I would stand there and do anything because her life rests in my hands. If she doesn't get the antidote within ten minutes, she will die a most painful death. Right now, her pain level is already at 9.5 out of 10, she's just holding it in so you won't get worried." Logan said evilly.

"What do you want?" Ruwei breathed angrily, "You know what I want. You stole the woman of my dreams from me, she's blinded by you. You've harmed her so much. I want your life." He spat, I started coughing again. "Josh, don't...there is no antidote," I said weakly as I coughed again.

Ruwei looked at me with tears in his eyes, "Amelia, my love, there's only one way to find out. You know I'm willing to die for you, if there's even the slightest chance you can get the antidote, I will give up my life for you." He said as Logan motioned for his men to hand Ruwei a cup of poison.

"Drink this, and she will get the antidote immediately. Trust me, I don't want her to die because I love her." I could tell Ruwei was clenching his hands so tightly he began drawing blood. "Let me see the antidote bottle first, I need to know it exists," Ruwei said through gritted teeth.

Logan pulled out the antidote bottle from his sleeve. Seconds later, Logan suddenly gasped and fell to the ground, blood surrounding him. Ruwei must have used his secret needle to kill him.

Ruwei ran to me and took me into his arms before getting the antidote and feeding it to me. I instantly acted like I felt better, but I still acted extremely weak. "I'm so sorry, you had to go through so much because of me. As your husband, I can't even protect you." He cried as he cradled me in his arms.
