in a large villa where one could get a true definition of luxury and a marvellous life stood a woman with tears and hurt in her eyes stood a woman looking at her husband leaving her to go to his first love.
three years.... three years of this broken marriage and ten years of the undying love that she had kept previously in her heart. everything turned into broken pieces with just his few words that she can never compare to his first love.
anna kim was the youngest miss of the kim family who later fall for the youngest billionaire and heir of tang family - tang yichen . because of their family status they got engaged to each other at an early age , which remarked her first time caging herself in those fantasy of first true love. his eye's and heart were never on her but she never left the hope of him falling in love with her. maybe she was the only who felt truly bliss on the day of their marriage but that didn't stop her from caging herself further. in those three years of her marriage she experienced his cruel side all with a smile on her face. be it being treated like a servant or like a sex slave to quench his desire or like a living toy to him as if she has no emotions she accepted everything with just one reasoning that all this was for the love she has for him . but what now............
now that the first love of his life is back . what is she now.
anna slowly gets up from floor looking at the back of leaving yichen she gathered her courage to tell him not to leave her that she needed him.....
"don't go. please .
I am dying yichen...." came out a desperate voice. making him stop in his tracks and mending whatever was left of her heart thinking that maybe he cares for her atleast but before she could walk towards came the cold mechanical voice of her husband breaking the whatever last hope or faith she had in her love.
"don't speak nonsense to me. you know lusi sprained her ankle and I need to go to her. don't waste my time. incase you forgot you're merely a stand-in for her..." and that's how he left her all alone to herself...
looking at vanishing back a small self depreciating smile came on her face as she broke into a fit of maniacal laughter which slowly turned into the sobs of her broken heart. coughing blood from her mouth..
"indeed I am merely a stand-in all these years of my effort towards was for this day. her foot is just sprained and you ran to her what about me.......
what about me who's been dying from this cancer. maybe....
maybe it's my punishment.... my punishment to love you from all my heart and to cage myself in your non- existing love."
slowly she gets up from floor calling someone and left that villa. the very place she called home for all these years and the very place who had witnessed her endless sorrow and pain...........
yichen came back to his villa after three days to find no trace of Anna there. her clothes, belongings everything was in their proper places except the owner of that place who wasn't anywhere in sight. thinking it as her another trick of gaining his attention he let the matter go and went to sleep. days turned week and weeks turned month and with that came absolutely no trace of Anna. even her warmth slowly disappeared from their home. making him all the more frustrated and angry as these days all his thoughts were filled of her , he couldn't even spend time properly with lusi as neither his body reacts the way as it used to Anna not his heart or mind accept her....
today to he was in a very bad entering the office when all of the sudden he was slapped harshly by someone making him feel all the more angry . he looks towards the person to see that she was Anna's best friend maya...
"what the hell is wrong with you. don't you want your hands anymore." came out a cold voice.
"I don't even accept something else from a beast like you. why... why did my friend saved you back then. if not for you she wouldn't be dying. but instead of treasuring her you abused her sending her to the death door. why is it not you who's dying. maya who couldn't take his manner of response...
bang.....
with a bang yichen heart came to a full stop..
"what do you mean it was her. it was lusi who saved me. do you think you could lie to me. "
..................
after two minutes of silence the whole lobby rang with mocking laughter of Maya.
"so ... so you think that bitch of yours saved you. wow... aeish. I really pity Anna now how could she fall for a blind guy like you. a bitch and a blind dog what a perfect match." and that's how she left from his office mocking and cursing at him leaving a stunned yichen behind.
"she... she was the one who saved me."
after two hours.......
there lied a file on the table of yichen which he picked up from his trembling hands. turned out all that he thought of was truth was nothing more than a mere web of lies to trap and make use him. he turned to the pages reading all the proofs and evidences which was slowly breaking the world of lies made by the woman he felt he loved truly all these years. and the sacrifices of the woman whom he never glanced all was revealed in front of him. and in his mind came out the broken voice of the woman from that night.
"don't go yichen. I am dying."
he can't even come to remember what he told her because right now all that he wanted was to see her very face , to apologise to her. to get back in her very soothing embrace. he needed her. he always did. and he has even always loved her. he can't remember everything about that cold night when he was left in the banned factory to await his death but he did remembered her voice. telling him to remain alive as how she loves him. he remembered all her words but couldn't remember her face and that has became the biggest regret of his life.
he get up from his desk and ran to the parking lot taking his car he went to the hospital his secretary told him that she was getting operated all with only one thought in his mind.
I need to see her.
he reached hospital within no time . and went towards her ward asking the receptionist with every step his heart was beating fast and his tears coming from his eyes. he looked inside the ward through the window where all he could see was a sickly , pale woman lying inside the ward. he was about to go in when someone pulled him back.
inside the ward layed the youngest miss of Kim's looking oh so frail and sickly, her face devoid of any trace's of her previous youthful look. she was lying peacefully when the commotion outside woke her up. she could recognise the two voices fighting outside one was Maya and other......
"yichen......" came the small voice from those pale lips.
it was only after the doctor's and nurses intervened that the fight outside came to a stop.
maya looked at yichen with a disdain on her face , she went to buy porridge for Anna only to come back and see this scumbag standing outside the ward.
"what do you want now. why have you came here to see whether she is alive or dead." (scoffs)
"I ... I know the truth...."
"oh.. so you came here because of your guilt. huh...
keep it with yourself she doesn't need either you or your guilt.. "
"you...
let me see her once." came the broken voice of yichen.
"you know what. get lost." and with that maya picked her food bag going inside the ward and closing the door with a bang looking inside all she saw was the tears in her best friend eye's and her muffled cries as she ran to hug the woman on hospital bed trying to console her that everything would be alright soon.
yichen looked at the door with tears in his eyes.
"it's my fault. I am sorry Anna . I promise to make everything alright for you and would bring you home."
he wiped his tears and left the hospital with a determined face.
in mere two days the whole family of lusi became bankrupt . yichen has blocked her every contacts and she couldn't even reach him no matter what she did.
after two days of constant working the first thing he did was to go to hospital where Anna was hospitalized and this time she has allowed him inside.
kneeling on the ground in front of Anna he looked at her face which was devoid of any emotions. the very who would look so happy with just one glance of him was looking at him without any warmth. maybe now there's nothing left of her to give him . he himself broke her to that very extent.
"I...." came out his voice getting chocked by his tears . he didn't knew how to start when she looked at him once again and smiled beautifully. the very smile which he's been yearning and craving for.
"yichen I'll have operation in few minutes. can you say you love me. atleast once. even if it's not true......"
"I love you" came a shout cutting her words.
"I love you. I only love you it was my fault mistaking someone else as you. I am sorry. punish me all you want but just don't leave me please." came a desperate cry of the man who was kneeling on the floor.
looking at him all Anna did was smile as if she has achieved the goal of her life.
in the operation theatre......
looking at the white light above her Anna remembered his desperate words just now of not leaving him and her words months ago of him not leaving her but he still did and a small smile flashed her lips.
"loving you I never regreted but to get free from this cage of love is a wonderful feeling in itself."
and that's how that small woman left the woman with a beautiful smile on her face. leaving the desperate cries of her loved ones.
she was finally freed. free from the cage she built for herself.
it was a month after her death when the whole business world got a huge shock as the tycoon and the only king of business world tang yichen committed suicide in his home. the picture of his dead wife....
