Mrs. Li wiped the sweat away from her forehead ready for the scene to occur right infront of her eyes.

She looked at Mr. Xin as he smiled out proud.

Timmy's hand held someone's hand gently before kissing her knuckles.

Zal frowned, noticing the same familiar gloves on her hands.

Her knees going weak and pale as she bit her lip looking away due to the looks the Guest's gave to her.

"Also, From the Starting business Month's This year, Li's CEO Mrs. Li is going to be the first partner of Xin's Enterprise's!"

Mrs. Xin eyes went wide as she looked towards Mrs. Li while Mrs. Li smiled at Mr. Xin.

"You're okay with it, right Son?" Zal's eyes slowly turned to His father as his hand still held Cia's.

His hand was sweating cold as well as hers.

His eyes blinked.

. . . . . . .

"No!" The loud Scream echoed around the Hallway as Timmy rolled his eyes chewing his gum.

"This is not what you said out there at 12:34 o'clock!"

He said making Zal look up.

His elbows are upon his knees while he held his hair in his hands stressed out with all the scenes occurred today.

"Why you're yelling now? It was your dream all this time, anyway" Zal's head shot up as he gritted his teeth quiet.

"Who told y'all it was my dream! Did I!-"

"geez, can you stop overreacting! If I was you-!"

"But it's not you. It's not fxcking you and it was "my" marriage! Who the hell were you to decide-"

"It's Me"

Zal paused closing his eyes trying his calm himself down.

Mr. Xin walked down the stairs holding his files.

"It was Me" Zal turned around and looked at his father in such anger he couldn't help himself but speak out.

"Who are you?"

"What?" Mr. Xin raised his eyebrow as the nerves popping out at the crook of his neck 

   just like how Zal's popped out at the same time in anger. 

"Who are you to decide it?" Mr. Xin sat upon the couch looking at his files.

"Decide what?" Zal looked away in anger trying not to increase the volume of his own voice.

His hand balling into a fist as Timmy gulped down standing up from the couch but then,

   Mr. Xin pulled him to sit beside.

Wrapping his arm around Timmy, he looked at Zal making him grit his teeth quietly.  

    "Decide what? You don't know what you've decided without even asking me!" He asked making Mr. Xin look up at him immediately.

His eyes held so much that made Timmy Shiver and get chills immediately.

  But then, the Anger in his eyes faded away into a thin air as he smiled out.

"Zal, it's about marriage. Of course I had to Know If she have the perfect qualities to match you-"

"you're telling me what I like or what I want in my life partner?" Zal chuckled making His father sigh.

"Look Zal, either you argue about this or accept this. It's not going to change anything."

"Who are you to decide that!" Zal exclaimed making Mrs. Xin walk out of the kitchen immediately.

"Also, who's She to Have partnership with our Company!

     Isn't having a opportunity to be Mrs. Zal is enough for that Young girl!"

Zal looked at his mom with wide eyes.

"Mom, I don't care about that right now! I'm talking about something beyond Serious!" 

Mrs. Xin gasped as Zal said keeping his hands infront.   

  Uncle walked into the mansion holding the papers.

"Since when Am I ignorant in this house, ah!"

Uncle sighed as he kept the papers down upon the table that was infront of couch.

"Mrs. Xin, they're having a serious talk. Let them-"  

"what do you mean serious talk! It's not giving him any loss anyway but about the company! Omo I think-" 

  "Mom, can you please stop talking about professional matter's right now!"

Timmy said out breathing heavily making Mrs. Xin walk more forward.

"Whether you listen or not! One day you're to regret giving her partnership! Isn't this Cia having Joy right now for becoming rich all of a sudden-"

Zal's heartbeat quickened as he got more frustrated because of his mom.

"Mom she's a kid, don't you just talk like that about her-"

   Zal's words were cut off in between as Mr. Xin stood up with such rage.

"Enough!" He yelled out making Mrs. Xin flinch.

Zal paused and looked at Mr. Xin realising how he Messed up the situation again.

Mr. Xin looked at all of the people before gritting his teeth in anger.

"Your job is to take care of this family.

   Don't interfere in other than that, hun" Mr. Xin said as he took up the drink glass.

"Cia is enough old to Take care of this family. No one is going to change what I decide about in this house!"

He stated making Zal stand there helpless.

His eyes were wide as he stared at his father who's furiously glaring at Mrs. Xin.

"no one is going to listen to me? Fine! One day you'll know!"

She stormed out of the living room making Zal groan and walk upstairs holding his head in his hands.

His shirt was slightly unbuttoned ,

   his sleeves are folded up to the elbows as he pulled the shirt out from inside the pants,

removing the tuck.

His hand removing the belt as he walked into his room before slamming it close aloud.

Mr. Xin sighed as he sat down again.

   A small smile as he glanced up the stairs. 

  __________ 

The mansion was filled with silence until her voice echoed loud.

Kira's face was reddening as seconds passed while she threw the Things as they splattered on the floor.

Mrs. Li sighed loud trying to calm Kira down but she turned around to look at her mom in anger.

"what do you want! Get out!" Her harsh tone made Mrs. Li's widen her eyes.

"Kira, Better behave!" She said as Kira rolled her eyes.

"Can you please get out of my room! Go get your daughter ready for a 'young marriage' !"

Mrs. Li hand was thrown across her face as Kira's face turned aside.

A red print was upon her cheek as she looked at Mrs. Li with wide eyes.

Her eyes started to well up with tears as she took her jacket and stormed out of the room.

Mrs. Li face palm herself leaning against the table.

She looked up after letting out a big sigh.

She looked aside to notice the light in Cia's room.

Frowning she walked towards her bedroom.

   "Cia?" Cia looked up from her knees as Mrs. Li knocked on the door.

"Cia, come out? Don't be like that. Please.."

Mrs. Li said as Cia wiped the tears away before looking away towards the window she sat at.

Bringing her knees more closer,

      she sighed out feeling her hands going numb.

 I'm announcing Today regarding on the day of my birthday occasion. Mrs. Li's Younger daughter, Li Cia and My elder son, the CEO of Xin's enterprise's, Engagement Date.

her eyes blinked as those words echoed in her mind again.

Her finger drew lines against the glass of window.

Her heart beating fast and she absolutely can hear it aloud.

Her body shivered as the high heels slowly slipped away from her feet.

Her eyes closed as tears streamed down her cheeks.

Keeping her head on her knees, she cried out quite.

Sniffing out, her hands trembled as she hugged her knees tight.

She cried out deep down from the bottom of her heart.

Hiccups started to come out of her mouth as she tried to calm herself down.

The cold breeze was Engulfing her small posture as she shivered under the shine of moonlight.

Her eyes glanced up at the moon.

A smile upon her face until his eyes slowly popped up in her mind.

The way he looked into her eyes.

She felt herself getting chills before she tapped her cheeks feeling her body warming up all of a sudden.

No no Cia.
