Chapter 3: Regret
Hongkong
A man stood in front of the window, facing the sunset. The afterglow was radiant, reflecting to his handsome face that it made his face even more stunning.
He didn't move and stood silently. He completely drowned in his own thought.
He regretted every decisions he made that year. He regretted that he did not to trust her back then, he regretted for being so inhuman to her and he regretted for being an imbecile.
What he did that year pushed her to the hell. He abused her mentally and physically. He still remembered how heartbreaking her look when she saw him brought his mistress. At that time, he did that because he wanted to revenge his dead childhood sweetheart. He thought she killed her so she could marry him so he decided to destroy her.
When she married to him, she suffered insults and humiliations from him, his family and friends but she still silently accepted everything because she truly loved him. She was insulted by everyone but he only stood, watching from the sideline. He didn't do anything because he thought she deserved it-she killed his childhood sweetheart so she was doomed to be destroyed.
She saved his mistress but she was framed by her that he broke her left arm.
In the same year of the marriage, he framed her of cheating so he could legitimately divorce her and marry his mistress. It was all solely because he wanted to made her suffer.
He divorced her and made her penniless. He blocked all her source of income and made her a true pauper. After that, she left and gone, even he himself had no way to found her.
One year after the divorce, she came to him and knelt so he could save her son but he just brushed it off. She said to him that her son was his but he didn't believe it. He beaten her until she was black and blue, he use his full power to abuse her petite figure.
He didn't feel he did anything wrong until he received a mesage one month ago. From that message he learned about his son.
What she said that year was true. The son was his. Then, he investigated his son existence only to find him had died in the same year when she begged him to save her son.
After he learned about this matter, her words that year emerged from the corner of his mind. He ordered his subordinates to find the truth about everything - about his sweetheart death and his ex-wife truth.
Two days ago he got the report of his investigation.
In the end, he found the sweetheart he thought was died was actually the woman he married. The one he thought died was actually her sister faking her death. And at the same time, he realized that he was duped by some people.
He tortured the wrong woman.
He wanted to beg for her forgiveness no matter what price he must pay. He would exhausted his remaining life to treat her well and to repay everything he owed her.
Only if he knew he had no chance anymore...
...
A woman leaning on the sofa, watching a comedy show on tv. Her subordinates were sitting nearby, watching the same show, laughing and giggling whenever the comedians show their slapsticks. Only the woman didn't reacted although the show was indeed funny. Her eyes were focus on the screen but they were empty. There were no joy or happiness in her eyes.
Everyone in the room aware of their master mood. They wanted to talk to their master so her mood would be better but they were not brave enough. They silently discussed to decide who was going to be sacrificed for the demon...no, their master. And as the result, Zagan was selected to carry this holy mission. Zagan who had just returned from the mission internally weeping and crying. Oh My brothers and sisters why do you pit me? Why do you all put me into this predicament?
Zagan still weeping silently when he began speaking to his master, Liliana Chen. "Master, why did you deliberately leak that information?"
Liliana didn't answer. She was just staring on tv blankly, it was not until she heard Zagan's deliberate cough. "I'm sorry. What did you say?"
"Why did you leak that information?" Zagan asked again. Truth to be told, he and the others also confused with his master's decision. Would it be more satisfying not to let that scum know about everything happened that year? Master should let him wander in endless circle, wanting to know why but unable to know. It was more satisfying.
Liliana chuckled wryly. "You must think that i should not leak it right?"
"Yes." Zagan nodded as the others also did the same.
"You are right. If i didn't leak the information about everything happened that year, that scum would definitely had a hard time and drown in curious. If i only gave him the information about the death of my son, he would be feeling guilty because he never saw him. But, if i let him know whom i was, the guilt he felt would definitely be multiplied. Because he killed the child of his and his 'sweetheart'."
"What do you want master?" a woman interjected before Zagan could ask. She was Leraje, one of Liliana's five subordinates. Five years ago, when she saw Liliana's heartbreaking experience, she shut herself for more than a week. She was the most emotional among the five. Fortunately Liliana was lenient. Not only she didn't scold her but she also let her do what she want.
"I want him to know the truth and live in guilty. Moreover, when he realized everything he did in the past was, what would that vengeful man do?"
Amon understood the purpose of Liliana so he asked to make sure that his conjecture was right. "You want him to revenge on everyone involved?"
"Yes, you are right. I want him to clean up every scums and bitches involved while living in guilt. I just lent him a knife. As for the way how he use it, it's up to him. I don't want my hands dirty for cleaning up unworthy people. It is not worth of my efforts."
Everyone gasped in disbelief. Their master was indeed smart and cunning. They secretly made mental note that no matter what happen in the future, they would never offend their boss. They didn't want to be tossed to the hell without Knowing.
"Amon, the flight for tomorrow, who will become my bodyguards to accompany me?" Liliana stood up and walked to her room before she remembered that she didn't know who would become her bodyguards. It was because she didn't ask about this before. She had too many matters on hands before so she totally forget about it.
"Five of us Master." Amon replied politely although his tone was full of excitement. Tomorrow, their master will begin her plan. As loyal followers, they have to support master's plan right? Furthermore, it will be fun to watch the scums and bitches that hurt master fight each other.
"If you all follow me, who will manage everything here?" Liliana asked. The five people in front of her assumed important positions in her organization. If they all follow her, who will manage their jobs?
Amon replied, "Our vice Master."
Liliana nodded. She didn't ask anymore because she knew Amon would definitely prepare everything well.
Liliana chuckled. Tomorrow would be the beginning of the game.
