Kris stared at Lena as she slept soundlessly. She was his wild woman. He only stayed for an hour after Lena slept before sneaking back out. The Shen Mansion does not high security and Kris does not like it one bit. He"ll need to do something about that soon if Lena was going to continue to stay here every so often.
He climbed over the wall and walked back to his car that he parked out of the way so it would not look suspicious. He entered his car but stared at Lena"s window from afar. For a long time, he had wondered and craved the love of a woman.
In the past, it would be a lie that he never felt jealous of other people"s life. His life originally looked at everyone as items. Items that are there for you to use or for you to kill.
After his journey to recover, he had discovered a new world and sight of how things were. He learned to laugh with people and understand that the world was not all about an ongoing battle that you need to always win win win.
People think that because he was at the top, he had everything. Because he was fearsome, he had no fears. That because the was raised with blood, his future is blood.
But that was not it. He was still as human as anyone else. Not normal, but still human. He gets envious of the relations.h.i.+p Collin has with Stella. How carefree Lay was as he continued to easily explore his s.e.xual pleasures. The way the genius Tye worked but never fall down to others about his s.e.xual preference. Even Keso found his long lost mother, whom they have reconnected with.
And there was Hugh, a true person who truly do not fear anything. A person who masked the face of a gentleman, but deep down, only he and Kris know what a terrifying man Hugh was.
Now, Kris has Lena. A dream that he had only thought of, but never a.s.sumed of it actually happening. She came cras.h.i.+ng to him like a tornado. You can never guess where she was going to hit you next. She just grabs you, takes you for an epic ride, and tosses you out with an abundance of emotions to go through that makes you go crazy.
He wants to do everything that he could ever dream of with her. Give her the happiness and love that he had bottled inside of him, telling him that no such thing existed. But releasing the feeling of romantic love from deep inside of him will also release other demons that he had buried too.
To him, Lena was brittle and fragile. He was a man whose hands are stained with blood, a brain nurtured with torture and rough love. How was he supposed to love her while he was battling between being free and controlled at the same time?
Kris started his car and left. He needed his friends....
Lena woke up with the beeping of her alarm. She slowly got up and rubbed her eyes, but she suddenly spotted her mom standing by her bed.
"Mom!" Lena placed a hand over her heart. She quickly looked around and noticed that Kris was gone already. She relaxed just a bit.
"Of course I am your mom, who did you think I was?" Shen Milli replied.
"Why are you in my room?"
"I knocked on your door several times and you did not hear. I thought something bad might had happened so I unlocked your door."
"Ah..." Lena cleared her throat. She glanced over the bedside to see if her underwear was still lying on the ground. But it seems like Kris cleaned up before he left.
"Why? Looked like you are so scared." Shen Milli pointed out.
"No. It was just you that scared me. I was watching something scary last night."
"Mhm..." Shen Milli turned around. "Well, you should get up and get ready. I already made breakfast. Your dad and I are leaving first. And you should stop locking your door too much in case something does happen and I can"t get to you in time."
"Yes, Mom."
Shen Milli left and Lena quickly got up. She grabbed her phone and went to use the toilet. She lifted her nightgown up and sat on the toilet. She was not wearing anything so it was easy for her. She peed and texted Kris at the same time.
Lena: When did you leave?
Kris: After you slept
Lena: Did you clean up? My mom was here
Kris: No... I stole them with me
Lena: .....
Lena got up and took a morning shower. She cleaned and got ready for her morning before heading down to go eat breakfast.
James picked her up and she left to go to work. She did not have many meetings today so she decided to check up on all the departments.
Lena told Kris that he needed to have a good compromising talk with his mother about whatever they are going on about. She said that he was not allowed to see her until he got that business done. So as they planned, Lena has her meeting with Stella today. She would see Kris tomorrow instead.
Lena delivered personally the invitations to the Shen company party to several department heads and chosen workers. By 3:30, she and James left to go her appointment.
As usually, she sat outside the office. Stella usually has an appointment with a young man before her. After a few minutes, Stella opened the door and greeted Lena. Lena walked inside the room.
Lena sat down on the sofa and Stella sat down on her usually chair too. Lena quickly spotted the big shunt ring on Stella"s hand.
"So he finally asked you." Lena spoke.
"Yes." Stella replied, holding out her hand. "Are you busy after this? I was wondering we can go have a small drink after your session."
"I am fine with that."
"Good." Stella adjusted her seat. "Let"s get it started then."
Lena did not always want her sessions to be on her love life. So for today, she expressed something else.
"My parents..." Lena did not know how to start. "They have been hiding something from me for a long time now."
Lena held her hands to give her the courage to speak about it. "I stumbled upon the truth a few years ago, but never confronted them about it. I felt like it was not a big thing... that I would not be bothered by it... but I feel like it does bother me."
"The truth? Or your parents not telling you about it." Stella questioned.
"I think it is more about my parents not telling me about it. At first, I thought that maybe it was to protect me? But maybe it was to protect them? I mean, I have let it go but the thought would pa.s.s my mind every so often."
"Do you have a good relations.h.i.+p with your parents?"
"I do."
"Have you ever considered confronting them? Parents are stronger than what most people would a.s.sume."
Stella and Lena talked more about the situation. After a long session, Lena had concluded that she really should just talk to her parent about it. Stella suggested that if she was not comfortable with both, she should choose one parent that makes her feel more conformable over the other when confronting them about the situation.
After the session ended, they both just walk to a nearby bar and had a small drink. James came along but distanced himself just to make sure both women were fine.
Stella knew that Lena was an expensive wine drinker so she did not hold her money down. Lena took a sip of the drink and looked at Stella.
"So what is it that you wanted to tell me?" Lena asked.
