Handsome CEO’s Darling Wife

Mu Lan tried to hit him with her right hand but she was too slow. The Horse Master caught her right hand with his left hand and grabbed her right shoulder with his right hand. After that, he dislocated her bones.

”Ahh!!!” Mu Lan’s screamed filled the whole room.

”Such a weak move! Are you really a Cobra? I’m doubting it. Let’s take you to Akram and find out what material you are made of.” The Horse Master stood up. He grabbed Mu Lan by her hair and dragged her out of the room.

As if the pain in her leg and bleeding wasn’t enough. Her arm was dislocated and she was being dragged. She refused to ask for help and didn’t want to cry. But tears rolled down from her eyes automatically. Her head was spinning. With her left hand she tried to hurt the Horse Master and wanted him to let go of her hair but he turned around and kicked her on the stomach thrice. The oxygen in her stomach came out through her mouth with an odd sound. The golden lights in the corridor were getting blur. In the end, it was only darkness.

’Where am I? Why can’t I see anything? Where is everyone? Where is… Liang Liang?’ Mu Lan was walking in the darkness. She couldn’t see anything. She felt as if the darkness was crawling to her and devouring her slowly.

She was scared, very scared. She began running. She ran a long time before realizing that she was going nowhere. She was in the same place. She was moving her body but the place was still same.

’I shouldn’t panic. I have to calm down. It’s just a dream. If I close my eyes I will wake up.’ She told herself that and took some deep breaths. After that, she closed her eyes.

When she opened her eyes and frowned. It was white everywhere, totally different from where she was a second ago. The white light was too unbearable. Still, she pried open her eyes. She noticed that she was in a large room. She never saw a big room like this before.

She thought that it must be a good sign that she could at least see things. She walked forward for a long time. Suddenly, far away, she found something in the ground. She ran towards it. When she went closer, she realized that it was a human lying on the floor; and she knew that person very well.

It was Mu Liang.

He was lying on the ground. Blood had created a pool around him. His whole body was injured and so bloody that there was no chance to differentiate between his clothes and skin. His face was ghastly pale. It looked like he was in a deep pain. He kept groaning as his facial expression was twisted.

Mu Lan was dumbstruck right before she ran towards him. Her heart stopped the way she saw him. She lost all her strength when she fell on the floor beside him. She wanted to shout his name but couldn’t. Somehow she lost her voice. She touched his face and only felt iciness. She put her head on his chest. His heart wasn’t beating.

Her heart shook in fear. She shoved him harshly, trying to wake him up. She didn’t know when she began crying but the vision was becoming blurry.

After shoving him for an eternity, Mu Liang woke up. He opened his eyes and looked at her accusingly.

”It’s all your fault. You killed me.” That’s the last thing he said before closing his eyes. He didn’t wake up after that.

Guiltiness crawled up in her body and devoured her completely. She burst into tears and talked to herself, ’You are right. If it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t be like this. I killed you. It’s all my fault. What will make you come back to me? I’m ready to do anything. Even if I have to kill anyone, I will do that. But please come back to me. Please…’

Mu Lan opened her eyes as she was startled because someone splashed her icy cold water. Because of water, she couldn’t see anything. She began hearing murmuring when she calmed down.

She recalled the nightmare she was having. Her heart tightened after thinking of Mu Liang’s bloody face. ’I won’t let you die, Liang.’ She promised to herself.

Her senses started working. She realized that her both hands were bound. Her right shoulder was still throbbing. Her right leg was numb; she couldn’t feel anything. She left leg and hand were still intact. The pain in her stomach didn’t’ want her to breathe. If she inhaled, the stomach would grow bigger and it would hurt even more. Thus, she tried shallow breathing.

Her vision slowly became clear. She blinked after what she saw. She thought that she was imagining.

There were two pillars where her hands were shackled with iron chain. There were many men and women in front of her. They were wearing luxurious clothes and wearing masks to cover their eyes. They were below her and they were above them. It turned out that she was on the stage.

Someone began speaking, ”Ladies and gentlemen, welcome in the late-night auction party In Cairo. I hope you are enjoying the tourist spots in Egypt. Due to some political circumstances, we had to hold the party in Egypt and I’m thankful to you, my honorable members to join us in here without questing further. Since you are all so sincere, tonight, I have a surprise for you. Please let me introduce tonight’s most valuable object. The thing on the stage is the most precious gem you have ever seen. I think you all know about the woman called Red who became billionaire within one hour and saved Mu Corporation from going bankrupt with her amazing inventions. I know that all of you wanted to know who she was. And tonight, I present you, Red.”

As the speaker pointed out to Mu Lan, the guests made surprised noises and showed bewildered expression.
