Revenge

Chapter 2 Fire!

"Lily Shen?"

Recognizing her, Amanda exclaimed out of shock.

The woman's eyes rounded and she pretended to be surprised too. "Well, Lady Juan recognize me? Am I so well-known already?"

Lily Shen, one of the most popular actresses in the entertainment industry these days and a former model; she had once taken over the headlines of the medias for her tall and slim figure and that large- sized breasts hanging in front of her. Almost her every piece of picture was showing off her eye- catching ample bosom. She, in shortly years, became an A-lister with the media hype.

“One thing, Lady Juan, I have booked the latest wedding dress you designed, called ‘princess's wedding gown’, right? What a wonderful design; I am going to love it.”Lily Shen said to Amanda with a smile.

Lily Shen said in her classic affectedly sweet voice with not a bit feeling of regret or remorse that gave Amanda the creeps; men would have swooned over that sort of sweetness in her voice; and what she meant by saying so was that she was going to wear the dress Amanda designed, took the man she wedded to and replaced her as the next Mrs Fu.

Nausea and the pain in the belly blended and swept over Amanda. She struggled to her feet not engaging in the eye contact with them while Lily Shen trotted towards her and comforted her in the same tone saying: “Bill, look at Lady Juan, she seemed not feeling very well.”

With that, she reached out her hands and gave Amanda a big shove, which sent her back onto the sofa. She dropped to her knees on the couch, pulled Amanda by the hair, and gazed into her eyes fiercely saying, "Do you have any idea what relationship we have? We have lived together long before you got married. Unfortunately, I am not so lucky as you. You were born as a lady of a great family, so

you have everything. And I, as Bill’s first and real love, I have to hide behind scene and be his mistress; is it fair?!"

Amanda burst into tears in pain. It turned out that Even Bill Fu's marriage to her was a scheme! The courtesy, the mutual respect and the harmony they had over the past three years was but a fraud!

Lies! All lies! Amanda was outraged, she slammed her hands onto the face of Lily Shen, making her scream like a frightened kitty; then, she grabbed the wine bottle, “Bang” smashed it on the desk and pointing the splinter of the broken glass towards Bill Fu: “Bill Fu, you such a shameless liar! How long have been fooling my father! Did we mistreat you by any means since you walk into our home? Where is your conscience? This is what you want, just tell me! I don’t care who you are going to get married to! It is none of my business. We'll get divorced!"

Bill Fu looked at her with amusement; he walked towards her as gracefully and gently as he always behaved and smiled warmly: “Amanda, come on, you would not want to stab me, would you? You would faint over the blood remember? Good girl, put it down and let's go home. Who is talking about divorce, we are a happy family."

He paused, as if being reminded of something, then raised eyebrow to ask her: "Amanda, did you just say, I lied to you father? You're going to tell them, aren’t you? Well, I have invited them over!”

Since it was all laid on the table, what Amanda was about to see was only going to get worse; she was even puzzled at what he just said: “What did you just say?”

As Bill Fu stepped forward and kicked open the bathroom door, Amanda cried out in horror at the sight of the her bound parents sitting on the floor: "Dad! Mom!" Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Their mouths were taped shut, their hands tied behind their backs, unable to move or speak, their eyes fixed on Bill Fu.

Amanda dashed towards them carelessly but before she could reach them, Bill Fu held her around her waist from behind. He was so strengthful that Amanda could not inched forward; in a moment of desperation, she waved the glass splinter in her hands to stabbed towards Bill Fu. The splinter sliced into his shoulder and blood gushed out; Bill Fu cursed and shoved her so violently that the back of her head knocked onto the wall behind her. At the impact, she collapsed onto the floor.

Pregnancy seemed to exhaust her energy even faster and the blood dripping down from his shoulder made her whole body trembled with fear.

Her face turned pale at the strong smell of blood, but Instead of blacking out, Bill Fu kept her awake by gently striking her face and saying, "To tell you the truth, Amanda, from the first day I walked into the door of the Juan Family, I have started planning on something; you really thought I would fall in love with you, didn’t you? I feel sick having to act so sweet in front of you..."

Amanda squeezed her arm so hard to keep herself awake. Everything was plotted, from that voice message to now catching him in the act. She was led here. Amanda shouted at him with all the strength she had left: "Bill Fu, you bastard! What do you want!"

"What do I want?" echoed Bill Fu, brushing away the tears from her eyes like what any lovers would have done to each other. “Hehe, you'll see, very soon..."

He rose to his feet suddenly, walked toward the bathroom, dragged Amanda’s mother out and slammed her beside Amanda; then out of nowhere, he held a tank gasoline and poured everywhere in the bath room, where her father was still tied firmly insides.

"Nooo! Bill Fu, I beg you,don’t do this!" Amanda knew what Bill Fu was up to, and she struggled and crawled to him, hugged his leg and begged.

"You wish! Good girl, why don’t you ask your father what he has done, ask him what he owes Fu Family!" In a fit of emotion, Bill Fu grabbed the collar of Lord Juan and said fiercely. “Why my mother

and I had to wander on the street, beg for crumbs from others’ tables and live on the relief fund while you father and your family were enjoying the luxurious life? Amanda, do you really think that your father is that kind of person you look up to? Do you really think that he adopted me because he has a good soul? He has a guilty conscience! My father died because of him, so that he can live on top of the world, why! I've lived in fear and humiliation all these years, trying to please your family all the time, ever since I married you and the stigma of live-in son-in law is killing me every day and night! I've had enough of that!”

"But after today, everything will be different. I, Bill Fu, will be the richest man in S city, and no one will ever give me another look!

Everything in Jane's house belongs to me from this day on! '

Amanda’s fear grew as Bill Fu vented his grudges; he had lost his sanity and he was going to kill her father! Amanda crawled towards him and begged with her hoarse voice: “Whatever you want from us, everything Juan has is all yours; please spare my dad’s life. Don’t you feel any love from him over the past years; he had treated you like his own son...And, and I am pregnant, with you child; it has been two month; you are gonna be a father too; for the sake of our child, please...Ahhhh!”

Before Amanda could even finish, Lily Shen’s high-heels had kicked her in the stomach. Bill Fu's twitched slightly at what she said then turned to look at Shen Lu.

With her bare arms around Bill Fu, Lily Shen drew circles on his chest with her fingers. Her eyes fluttered. "What? You are shaken because of the child in her belly? You want child? I could give birth to one for you. What kind of bastard could she have?"

Mocked Lily Shen, with her eyes scrutinizing Amanda:" Yo, what a rare scene to witness. The arrogant Lady Juan crying like a little bitch; my heart was melting by looking at that pathetic pretty face. I think you would hit the headline of medias if the journalists are able to see such a scene.”

Blood streamed out from the lower body of Amanda; the pain was tearing her apart from inside her belly as the despair closed in and overwhelmed her. Her mother, with her mouth taped shut firmly, sobbed and wriggled towards her; her father glared at Bill Fu trying to utter a word.

"Look, Bill, your child is gone, what are you hesitating about? We have gone so far, do you really think they would let go of you?” Lily Shen reminded, the voice sounded more wicked than sweet at the moment.

"I know." Irritated, Bill Fu pushed Lily Shen aside, stood up and went into the bathroom to make a call, "It's about time, in 10 minutes."

Then he dragged Lord Juan up, threw him into the large bathtub, where there was no water and lit a fire.

Lord Juan was engulfed in the fireball in seconds; with only slight wriggling and a few dull and painful sounds, he soon withered like the plastic bag in the heat. Amanda was crying and screaming watching that familiar face faded away in seconds before someone covered her mouth tightly and stabbed her belly with edged tool in the belly.

Lily Shen held the bottleneck with its splinter ripped into the lower belly of Amanda; blood gushed out and drip down along the glass; Lily Shen soon let go of the glass bottle in disgust of the blood and leaned to her whispering: “Gone is your child! Then you, from today on, I am going to be Mrs Fu, the hostess of the great family Juan, die, and ....save me the trouble, would you?”

Lily Shen's sweet yet disgusting voice mixed with the crack sound of fire, the strong smell of the blood mixed with the aroma of Lafite, stomach-turning scorched smell and also the scent of the Ciwi Lake from outside the window. Amanda had an delusion that she was in the hell.

"Take the old lady and she is still going to be useful. It's okay. She has lost her mind. If not, I would make her."

Her mother was dragged out of the room, leaving Amanda watching with her vision gradually blurred, tears frozen and her body getting cold and stiff.

At the last moment of her life, the familiar hands picked her up and smiled gently in her ear: "Amanda, go to sleep, it won't hurt when you sleep. Go in peace, and I will live for you."

He let go of her after that; Amanda felt the freedom she had never experienced before and she was flying, or more precisely, falling unceasingly as if it was bottomless; then, with a large sound of "splash," she was drowned in the icy water.

In March, Ciwi Lake water was so freezing cold...
