CHAPTER 65

“How are you feeling?” Feng Long asked while taking small steps towards her.
Piper dragged herself to the end of the big bed and pulled the duvet to cover her lower body, out of reflex.

“How do you think I’m feeling?!” Seeing he didn’t look like he would be pouncing on her anytime soon, Piper tried as much as possible to sound coherent and fearless, yet, her voice didn’t give the best effect. She was scared.

“Don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you.”

“Then let me go,” she immediately said after his words fell.

Feng Long stared at her speechlessly for a while, then shook his head. “I’m sorry, I can’t.”

“Th– then what do you intend to do to me?” She panicked and fear shot to her stomach.

“I don’t intend to do anything to you but the same cannot be said for others.” He walked to a couch and sat on it.

“What do you mean? What others?” Piper looked around the room, however none but the two of them were there. Does that mean other people are in the house too?

“Where is this place?” She has no idea where she is. On her way, she fell asleep as her eyes felt heavy but thinking of it… “Where is my chauffeur?”

To the many questions that she asked, Feng Long only deemed the last one fit for an answer.

“He brought you here and left but I’m guessing he’s dead by now.”

“Wh– why? Feng Long, what is all this about?! Why are you doing this to me?!”

Feng Long didn’t speak for a long time. When he finally opened his mouth, Piper thought she would be getting an answer to her many questions but instead, he asked:

“Why is it so hard for you to love me?” His face slowly changed.

Piper’s heart trembled at that sight. She immediately opened her mouth, subconsciously saying;

“A– are you aware I’m Alpha Chaos and Rex’s sister?” Sorrow flashed through her orbs but only for a blink of an eye.

That was how badly she wanted her brothers.

“If they had cared a little about you, I’m sure you wouldn’t be here right now.” He sighed. “Piper, why are you doing this to us?” He got up and walked to the bed, then sat close to her and forced her face into his hands.

“I love you so much, can’t you see that? Why do you hate me so much? Why can’t I take Brian’s place in your heart? Is it because of my family?… We can run away and I’ll be able to protect you if you choose me, please Piper.”

Piper slapped his hands away and raised her hand to slap him but he grabbed it in mid-air. “Don’t do that,” he shook his head.

His brothers wouldn’t find it funny if they saw a palm print on his face.

She forcefully pulled her hand back and tried to leave the bed but he dragged her back with a small frown on his brows. “Don’t be stubborn, Piper. I don’t want to hurt you.”

“You don’t want to hurt me? Aren’t you already doing it? Feng Long, you started hurting me from the moment you started taking my Mom’s side and helped ruin my life! And now by kidnapping me, you think you aren’t hurting me?!” She took a deep breath to calm her racing heart, fueled with fear and anger.

“Let me leave and I’ll pretend this never happened.” She added.

He had been living with guilt all these years for helping her mom, but he couldn’t help it. His love for her drove him to do so many things that finally tore their friendship apart. Though he doesn’t regret it.

Feng Long turned his face down before saying; “Your mother sent you here with an instruction. Also, my family hasn’t given me permission to let you go, so I can’t.”

Piper’s eyes widened. She was shocked and not shocked at the same time that her own mother was involved in her kidnapping.

What scares her most is the fact that Feng Long’s family is involved. Piper suddenly had a premonition that something bad was about to happen to her.

She immediately grabbed his hands and started to beg fervently. “Long, please let me out! Please, don’t allow your family to hurt me, I beg you, please let me out!!”

Feng Long looked helplessly at her. He can’t hurt her, never! But his family is a different case. Had she agreed to be his woman, his brothers would have believed that she was one of them but now that she isn’t, she’s an enemy, just like her mother.

What got Feng Long feeling like a complete waste was her hatred for his guts.

He held her by the shoulders. “Even though you are begging me, you still refuse to promise to be my woman. Piper, how much do you detest me?”

Piper froze. That was right, what emotional people like Feng Long want to hear the most is being loved. Why did she forget that?

He peeled her hands away from his and turned to leave. Now, even though she suddenly agrees to be his woman, it’s already too late because his brothers have been eavesdropping on them through the bug that was forced on him.

They had wanted to kill her for the longest time but he had been her invisible shield until her mother sent her into their arms.

Standing by the stairs that lead one out of the sub-basement, he said: “Your mother has bad intentions towards my family and my family found out, so my brothers are angry. When your mother called, they were here with me and forced me to bring you…” He left after dropping the incomplete message.

Piper felt her spirit leave her and she fell limply on the bed. Her mother has finally ruined her life completely. Not only did she use her as a toy for years, but she also pushed her into the enemies’ den.

After a long while of silence, the almost lifeless Piper chuckled, then burst into a fit of mad laughter as tears slowly fell from her eyes.
Who gets into the Feng family’s hands and survives? Those people are one of the cruelest old families in the Country. They are not among the top three, simply because they wanted to withdraw from the public’s eyes to be able to carry out their demonic practices quietly without public scrutiny.

They are a core member of the Dark Age organization which focuses on human sacrifices to ‘please their ancestors’ or whatever the organization is up to.

Piper got to know about this because of her connection, which is one of the reasons she broke ties with Feng Long.

The only people who can help her now are her Lu brothers… Even the Xu family might not be able to help her because, in the organization, the Feng family has a higher position than the Xu family because the Feng family is also in charge of the ritual ceremonies in the organization, as well as human sacrifices.

Her only hope is her Lu brothers but why would they save her? Would people who refused to give her blood be willing to save her?

At the thought of that, a name flashed in her mind, Jeslyn! But then again, her hopes were dashed when she realized she has no means of communication with her.

Her blurry gaze swept through the room. It was spacious and there was absolutely nothing that could help her reach out for help.

Piper fell into despair. She didn’t want to die. In the face of death, she realized there are lots of things she should have done but haven’t done and needs to be taken care of.
…

THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 2: CHAPTERS 61 – 70

Outside the house, Brian was held at gunpoint by dozens of men. He sighed in annoyance. How would he have known that this place has more men than his third aunt’s husband’s house?… The Presidential Villa!

“Aren’t you the superstar? What are you doing here?” One of the young men who has a striking resemblance to Feng Long asked with his gun also pointed at Brian.

“What do you think I’m doing here?” Brian wasn’t scared in the least even though he knew that a bullet might fly into his skull from behind. He was tired of this life anyway. Death is a better option, so he’d be glad and even thank whoever pulls the trigger.

“What are you doing talking to a trespasser? Kill him!!” An angry voice drifted over from the dark and in no time, a man in his early 40s walked into the bright space.

“Older brother, wait!!” Feng Long ran out of the house, stopping one of his older brothers who was about to pull the trigger. “He’s my friend.” He said.

Brian looked at him languidly and snorted before rolling his eyes.

“More reason he has to be killed. Do it!” The early 40-year-old brother disapproved.

“You can’t! I owe him my life!” Feng Long lied in his bid to save the ungrateful Brian.

Brian almost punched the idiot on his face but remembering why he was here in the first place, he remained calm. But whenever he gets the chance, he’s definitely going to beat Feng Long into a pulp.

First, the idiot brought Piper here and did something to her, and now, Feng Long is behaving like a good guy who he’s going to owe a debt.

“Oldest brother, you haven’t forgotten the family rules, right? He should be set free for saving my life once.”

“Long, are you stupid? That rule only applies if the family’s secret isn’t being compromised! You still have a lot to learn!” The oldest brother barked.

Feng Long fought his internal struggles for a while before he made his decision. He went down on his knees and kowtowed to his oldest brother three times.

“Please, oldest brother, grant me a few more days to spend with him before you kill him. He and Piper are the only friends I ever had.”

The other brothers all turned their gazes to their oldest brother, waiting for him to come to a conclusion.

“Two days.” The oldest brother said before he turned and left.

“Thank you, oldest brother.”

“Why would your so-called friend barge in here to kill our people? Almost 20 guards died in his hands.” The one with a striking resemblance to Feng Long said with a frown.

They met Brian killing their men like he was training with his students. Who exactly is this guy? It only takes a well–trained military person or an assassin to master the skills Brian exhibited.

“Oldest brother is already determined to kill him, let’s just let it rest for now.” Feng Long said before dragging Brian into the house.

“Do you think I’ll thank you for your intervention?” Brian sneered when they left the gathering of the others.

“I don’t need your appreciation. If it was up to me, I would have allowed them to blow your skull out.”

“Haha… I’m so scared… You should have allowed them to kill me because whether I stay alive or die here, you all are already in hot waters. Haha…” Brian laughed out loud.

Feng Long paused and turned to look at the nonchalant Brian. “Who are you?” He frowned. For years he had been trying to find out who Brian was and what family he was from but each time, he hits a dead end.

“A person you wouldn’t want to know. So where is that little girlfriend of yours?”

“You came here to rescue her?” Feng Long was shocked.

“You both seem to think too highly of yourselves. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk…” he would never admit that he came to rescue her nor would he embrace what he still feels for her.

“Then what are you doing here?” Feng Long clenched his jaw. He already got his answer. Brian and Piper still love each other very much.
