Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: The Truth

As she lay there she looked up at the couple that had also been staring at her. The man is smiling while looking at the woman and the woman was giggling at her. Her thoughts were in a messy state. She didn't know why she was in this state.

"I pity you, you know. You don't realize what happened, do you?" The woman began to speak. " A real pity." She added.

Yu Qi doesn't know what happened to her. She remembered having dinner with them but after that her memories were blank. The man who is her fiancé wanted to have dinner with her and the woman beside him joined them. It's been a long time since they could meet and have dinner. So, she agreed and was excited to meet him.

"You don't need to talk much with her right now. Looking at her face, she doesn't know about us. Since we're about to finish her she deserves to know the truth." said the man.

The woman nods at him." Yu Qi dear, we're getting married."

That sentence from the woman made Yu Qi's eyes widen. ' What does she mean by that? She's getting married? To who?' The man hugged the woman's shoulder and smiled. Now she knows. 'But why? He is her fiancé.' She stared at the couple.

"What? Why? You..." She didn't get to finish her sentence as the woman suddenly grabs her hair. She screams in pain.

"Because he loves me, not you. Your just, what do people call it, yeah, a stepping stone to us. You're the heiress to that company. It has a lot of money, so we can just use it to help my man. Be happy, you were useful to us." The woman releases Yu Qi's hair.

The man pulls out a handkerchief and wipes the woman's hand that had pulled Yu Qi's hair. He was very delicate as he did that. Yu Qi never knew he can show this side of him. 'Why? He doesn't love me.' She answered the question herself.

"Don't think much because you won't survive after this." The woman said while giggling.

"What?" Do they want to kill her? If he doesn't love her it's okay. She can let go and let him marry his beloved. But why do they want to kill her?

"Many people will be happy when you die. Your uncle, your aunt, your cousin, your stepmother, your sister, all of them want you dead. We also want you dead. You're an obstacle for us to get what we want. Ah, I forgot, your grandpa has already been taken care of. Sooner or later, he will be joining you." The woman said with an arrogant look on her face.

"What did you do to my grandpa?" She asked.

"Since you're going to die tonight, I'll tell you the truth. Your uncle's family has been feeding your grandpa a slow-acting poison for two years now. Your uncle told me the poison has already destroyed his internal organs. That's why he's been so sick all the time." Yu Qi was shocked to hear this news.
