Chapter 1: Realisation
? POV
Laying in a prison cell she wondered how her life had turned out like this. Yes, she was adopted and forced to marry but in the end she found happiness and contentment. That is until that day, when her stepson, Chen Lu, died. She had nothing to do with it yet she was the one behind bars. Why? she may never know the answer. She could feel her time coming near. Her body was starting to give out slowly. As she was deep in her thoughts she heard a door open. Sitting up she saw her sister, Yao Qiu, walking towards her cell. "Jia Qiu" her sister called to her before she threw her head back in laughter "How does it feel to be right where you belong? In a cage" she asked with a smirk on her face. Jia Qiu could only look at her. She was too weak to speak.
" You know, if you had only stayed out of my way this wouldn't have to you." she said as she slowly ran her hands against the metal bars of Jia Qiu's cell. " Xiao Chen could have been alive right now if it weren't for you" she taunted. Jia Qiu shook her head as best as she could. "What? Trying to say you didn't do it? I know you didn't do it" she paused before looking Jia Qiu in the eyes "I did" she finally stated with a smile her eyes shining with joy and blood lust. Jia Qiu getting weaker by the second could only widen her eyes and tears started to leak out of them as she couldn't believe what she just heard. Her sister killed her step son, but she was the one behind bars.
"Oh, believe it dear sister I was the one who killed your beloved step son" Yao Qiu stated " You were in my way and I don't like kids so I used him to get rid of you. Killing two birds with one stone. Brilliant don't you think" she continued " I can freely pursue your dear ex-husband, Stephen Lu, now. The poor man must be devastated his wife killing his son or should I say nephew. Oh, well doesn't make a difference not like he is here anymore" she suddenly stopped in the middle of the bars " You must be wondering how I know since it was a secret. Well, his daddy told me of course. The real one" she said then looked behind her. Footsteps could be heard approaching the cell.
Seconds later the shadow of a man could be seen. Raising her eyes she looked at the man who is her ex-husband's brother, Kang Lu. He looked down at her with disgust in his eyes as he wraps his arms around Yao Qiu. " Why aren't you finished yet ? we don't need you to be contaminated by her" he said. Yao Qiu giggled and slapped his chest " That isn't what you said before. Didn't you want her for yourself?" she asked. " Yes, but that was poor judgement on my part. Now all I want is you" he said nuzzling her hair with his nose. " Even if I want your brother too?" Yao Qiu shamelessly asked. "Even then. We are brothers we shared alot of things sharing you shouldn't be a problem" he stated with a glint in his eyes.
Yao Qiu laughed once again running her fingers along his chest. She turned to look at Jia Qiu once more. "She'll be dead soon the poison is seconds away from ending her" Yao Qiu said with delight in her voice. Holding onto Kang Lu upperarm, she turned and started to walk away before stopping to look at her dear sister once more " Goodbye sister, Ill take care of Stephen for you. Have fun with Xiao Chen" she said then turned once again to walk out of the room. Jia Qiu laid still as she watched them leave rage and sadness in her eyes. She didnt want to die knowing what really happened. She want them to get what they deserved. They took away her life and she wanted their's. Unwillingy she closed her eyes as the poison took full effect and she was plunged into darkness never to awake again.
Or so she thought. The ticking of a clock made her open her eyes. She slowly looked at the ceiling and sat up glancing around the room. She recognised it as the room she stayed in after she was adopted. She couldnt believe her eyes she lloked down at her hands and noticed how dainty they looked. She got up from the bed and went to look in a mirror touching her face she finally smiled. "I'm back" she sang to herself with a smirk. "I hope they enjoyed that happiness while it lasted, this time it wont be the same".
