Sherin smiled happily at the story that Joa had just told her. Now the woman can breathe again because Zack Lee no longer views her as Peiyu. The real Peiyu is still alive.
"Joa, that means you've met Peiyu directly. Then how's his face? Does he really look like me?"
"Actually if you pay closer attention to your face has a difference. Peiyu has long and bushy hair while you are shorter. Your height is also very different. Peiyu has a high posture. As for you-" Joa held back her sentence for not wanting to offend Sherin. Plus now the woman's gaze was so sharp that it made Joa become afraid. "But you have a much prettier face than Peiyu!" praise Joa so that Sherin is not angry with her because since then she has continued to praise and compare Peiyu with Sherin.
Sherin took a long breath. "There's also something I can be proud of."
"Now do you want to go home or do I take you to the company? Robin has arranged everything. From tomorrow your company will cooperate with our company. All the contract files have been taken care of directly by Robin and your private secretary." Joa looked at Sherin for a moment before returning to focus on her car.
"I had an appointment with Brother Xander this afternoon," Sherin replied uninspiredly.
Deg.
Joa immediately heard it. The man recalled what Quinn and Dimitri had said. He thought that this time Xander invited Sherin to meet because he wanted to discuss their matchmaking. Joa won't be until Sherin and Xander get married. He wants Sherin to be his.
"For what?"
"For what?" ask Sherin confused. "What do you mean Joa? Speak clearly so I understand." Sherin looks protested.
"I mean what did you guys meet for?" joa without looking.
Sherin was silent for a moment before laughing amusedly at Joa's question. "We're brother and sister then what's wrong if Brother Xander invites me to meet? Not only this afternoon, we have met many times before. Is something wrong?" Sherin made it clear.
"Have you ever been alone or doing something that only you two do?" Joa continues to investigate to find out where the proximity of Xander and Sherin.
"We often swim together at home. Occasionally, Brother Xander also accompanied me shopping. We often eat out together. I also accompanied Brother Xander out of town for meetings. There were actually many other things we both did. But I only remember a part of it" Sherin said with a face so innocent. He still did not realize that there was now a man who was jealous.
"It looks like you two are a good fit" said Joa, starting to get upset.
Sherin laughed amusedly at Joa's words. "Can be. Maybe if we weren't brother our two sisters were already matchmaking. Joa, did you know that the two of us have a lot in common. If we talk, we can spend hours. Brother Xander is also very understanding. He knows very well how to treat his little sister." Sherin continues to praise Xander in front of Joa unaware of Joa's current feelings.
"Then why don't you just decide to get married!" ketus Joa is getting upset because Sherin is completely insensitive to her feelings.
Sherin scrunched her forehead hearing Joa's statement. "Joa, what are you saying? Why are you talking like that? You're a real bitch. This is what makes me lazy to chat with you because the edges will definitely fight!" ketus Sherin's upset. The woman turned her face away because she did not want to look at Joa's face again. "If you mind taking me to meet Brother Xander, just drop me off on the side of the road. I can get there by taxi."
"I'll take you!" said Joa. The man increased the speed of his car. He wanted to arrive immediately at the location where Xander and Sherin arranged the meeting.
...***...
Zack Lee still did not expect what he saw. The woman he loved was in front of him. Touch it and take good care of it. Although it had not said any explanation but with the presence of Peiyu there already made Zack Lee much calmer now.
"Eat. You look thin now," Peiyu said in a very soft voice. He scoops the food and gives it in front of Zack Lee's mouth.
Zack Lee opened his mouth and chewed on the food given by Peiyu. One hand clasped Peiyu's hand so that the woman would not leave again. He did not want to lose Peiyu like he had felt before.
"Don't go again. I can't stay away from you" persuaded Zack Lee. He kissed the back of Peiyu's hand lovingly.
Peiyu was silent. The woman continues to feed Zack Lee until the food on the plate is exhausted. After it ran out, Peiyu gave Zack Lee a glass of water and medicine that he had to drink that afternoon.
Peiyu lowered her head with teary eyes. It seems that the woman was unable to tell the truth. He felt ashamed and disgusted with his own body to the point of deciding to separate and stay away from Zack Lee forever.
Zack Lee clasped Peiyu's hand. "I already know everything. I've seen what you've done with Aigu. I also already know how Chen Li treated you so cruelly. Honey, Chen Li died at my hands. I don't want us to be apart. I want to start all over again. We open a new page and we forget the bad memories that ever happened. I beg you." Zack Lee tried to persuade Peiyu to stay by his side. He did not want to after this Peiyu to leave again.
Peiyu looked at Zack Lee's face. A round of tears dripped down his face. "I'm a very dirty woman. I'm so embarrassed. As a woman I was so bad at not being able to keep my own pride. Actually that night when I met Aigu, I wanted to tell him that Chen Li kept pushing me and seducing me.
I was so frustrated that I decided to get drunk. If I really want to get drunk, I don't have to come to Aigu's room. Aigu loves me. He definitely couldn't hold himself back until we finally"
Again a circle of tears dripped. Even Peiyu could not bear to look at Zack Lee's face anymore right now.
"If you can't afford it. You don't have to tell me everything. I don't want to know anything anymore either." Zack Lee tries to understand. He was unwilling to make Peiyu suffer like this.
Peiyu shook her head in disagreement. He had to tell her everything so that in the future there were no more secrets that he had to hide from Zack Lee. Peiyu also wanted to breathe a sigh of relief without having to cover up the old wounds she had faced.
"I did not expect that it turned out that Aigu's camera was in recording condition. Aigu is very careless. Eventually the video could fall into Chen Li's hands. Then he used the video to threaten me. At first he just wanted to ask me to tell you all the secrets you ever told me.
But I know that if the secret is known to Chen Li, then you will leave Japan. I don't want to until that happens. Because of the emotion, Chen Li hitky. I was trying to fight it and rebel. But Chen Li's energy was very strong. Plus at that time I was under the influence of drugs.
Chen Li forced me to take illegal drugs. She really tortured me and made me the worst woman in the world. He raped me and treated me like a prostitute. After Chen Li released me, I felt that I was not much different from animal excrement.
I hate myself so much. Can't even meet you anymore. It's not that I never had any intention of telling you all my sorrow. But I just couldn't bear to see the disappointment in your eyes.
The woman you've been guarding like a precious diamond is ultimately broken in the hands of those closest to you. I can't imagine how disappointed you were when you found out about all this. I finally decided to admit myself as a traitor.
At that time Aigu was furious because I had made a decision that was beyond common sense. But at that time I would rather die. I don't want to kill myself because it's not useful at all. So I decided to become a traitor so you could shoot me and I would die in your hands. It was all an expression of my guilt towards you and I don't blame you for that decision at all.
But it turns out Aigu has other plans. He asked me to go as far away from your life as possible and never show up again. At first I refused because to live alone I was no longer excited. But Aigu continued to convince me until I finally agreed.
I survived by wearing bulletproof clothes. Everything was arranged by Aigu. He immediately took me away from the ocean and replaced with another woman's body. No one was suspicious when my body was put in a crate by Chen Li's men. Because one of Chen Li's men had also worked with Aigu. So Chen Li's mind forever, my body has been buried and I'm really dead.
I was very sad to learn that Aigu was dead. But somehow I also feel happy because the only person who knows the secret of my existence is also gone. That means we will never see each other again.
But destiny says something else. A few days ago a man came to see me. Name's Joa. I don't know what your relationship with Joa is like. He kept convincing me to see you soon. At first I refused hard. Even I almost had the intention to kill Joa because she already knew my identity and my whereabouts. But all of Joa's explanations made me realize that the decision I've been making instead of making you happy just made you more tormented. Zack Lee, I don't want you to be tormented. I just want you to live a happy and quiet life."
"But you know for yourself that I'm happy only when I'm by your side. If you are not by my side, I will never be happy again. Peiyu, please don't go again. We're getting married soon. I just want you to always be by my side. I will accept all your past.
Because everything that happened to you was my fault, too. I was too trivial with the circumstances to the point that I believed in everyone. I thought that everyone around me could take good care of you. Even I didn't have much time for you because I was too focused on the territory back then. I'm a really useless guy." Zack Lee blamed himself after hearing Peiyu's explanation.
Peiyu shook her head while rubbing Zack Lee's cheeks. "No dear. No. gabe. You're a very great man. Never blame yourself like this."
"Please promise me to never leave me again like I did yesterday." Zack Lee's gaze was like one that was begging.
Peiyu nodded. The woman immediately hugged Zack Lee because it was only that thing that she wanted to do. But he was not able to do it yet. "I'm sorry. I love you so much. I miss you so much."
Zack Lee closed his eyes in relief. The man hugged the body of the woman he now misses and yearns for. "Thank you Joa. Thanks to you I was able to meet Peiyu again" said Zack Lee inwardly.
