Chapter 23.
Amy fiddled on her cloth as she watched her mom’s dumbstruck expression.
She was looking for the right word to make her un-derstand but those though glares from her mother had left her blinking at everything.
Mrs qin mouth parted in disbelief. She had never been this shocked.
She completely lost her tongue and all she could do was to look at her daughter like she was some gold.
” So…He is the..xan?” Her mom scoffed, almost bursting into a sarcastic laugh.
Amy gulped down after finally hearing her mother’s voice. She sat upright and stared at her guiltily.
” Mom. Y..you see, i..i… never knew he was xan until i was able to revive my memory. But even after i did, i still fell de-eperly in love with him the more.” She said, pouting her li-ps.
” You what?…Oh my God ” Mrs qin mesmerised as she fell back on the sofa, holding her head in pain.
Amy ru-bbed her bu-tt on the sofa as she adjusted foward to hold her mom’s hand.
” Mom, you need to believe me. He’s a changed person now. He has agreed to mend his past and we are both doing fine. We won’t let the past get inbetween us ever again.” She spoke as she bent her brows with worry.
” I’m de-eperly disappointed in you, Alicia. I’m also disappointed with myself because i never noticed it on time?. For Godsake!..How can you fall in love with someone who tried to kill you”
” Mom. why don’t you just sit and think about all the good things xan has done for me. Starting from the first day he offered me a job, to this very day that he brou-ght us together again, you keep forgetting his good deeds.”
” Because his good deeds are not worth counting” she said and drew Amy up from the chair.
She pulled her to the window and opened up the curtains widely.
They stayed there looking at the sky and mrs qin voice turned calm as she spoke with her.
” It’s all your fault for falling in love with him, Alicia. You should have reasoned well.
You should have returned your senses back to those years you suffered pain and agony. When you were in the hospital battling for your life for complete six month.
I kept on wasting money just to make sure i see you come out alive. Your dad died in the process of working his a-ss out. You un-derwent different head surgeries.
Where was he all this while?. Did he not know about all this too?. Do you think without us you would be alive to fall in love?”
Amy sighed as she lowered her gaze in heavy guilt. The more her mom talked to her about her past, the more she felt guilty.
Her heart managed to keep fighting back with the love she had for xan.
Mrs qin held her shoulder as she spoke to her
” Why would a girl ever wants to love a man who bullied her and almost wanted to kill her?. We should be talking about how to revenge his ungrateful act instead of falling in love.”
Amy raised her fleek lashes to look at her mom
” But i love him. I love him and you know that’s final. You wouldn’t want me to be sad ridden and heartbroken for the rest of my life, would you?”
” Alicia. i know you love him and i know he has totally helped us. I’m not against his good act. I forgive him as well. But…i don’t want this relationship of yours to continue cus i won’t let it last.”
” Mom why did you become like this!!” Amy probbed, fisting her arm.
” I became like this because i felt pain…pain to see my only child suffer in my hands. If i still felt as much pain as i felt that time, i could have just go in and stab him right away. He doesn’t deserve to be with you or even stay un-der your roof. He is evil.” Mrs qin spat and turned around.
She was about to step forward when she suddenly halted. It was because she met xan standing at the post of his room, watching them with a complete blank face.
She walked towards him and folded her arm, staring at him like he had become a dirty trash.
” I hope you heard me well, mr xan. You can’t have my daughter, very impossible. I’d rather go find someone much better than you than to make my daughter’s life miserable again.” She said and walked out of him.
As soon as she was gone, Xan finally left his stiff sp-ot and trotted towards Amy.
He leaned his arm on the window facade as he stared outside, while Amy stood upright staring at him.
He ran his fingers into his hair and laughed to himself tugging his hair ti-ghtly.
” One way or the other, she’s right. I’m very evil. I never knew you pa-ssed throu-ghthose mess in the time of my absence and i never cared to ask.” He said.
He stood up and quickly grabbed her head, hugging her ti-ght to his che-st.
Amy sobbed in his che-st, releasing all the tears she was afraid to pull down in her mother’s presence.
He raised her cheeks and cleared the tears with his thumb.
” Just know this, that no matter how many people try to seperate us, we will never ever fall apart. Instead, our love will grow stronger and we will learn to appreciate eachother’s weakness and strength. Right?”
” Right!” She nodded her head and raised her chin to stare up at him.
” No one can love the way we love that’s why our love is unique .” She said, ru-b-bing his cheeks.
Mrs qin began to step down the stairs and they quickly left hold of eachother, distancing themselves.
” Alicia. Are you still awake?. What are you still doing with him?”
” I..i..was about to…go to bed now” she quickly picked an excuse, fiddling with her thumb.
” Will you just go to bed and leave him alone!” she yelled, squinting her eyes angrily.
She turned to face him and she looked up at him with a big but gloomy smile.
” Good night.” She said, holding his che-st and leaning up to kis-s his forehead.
” Yeah. Good night.” he replied as he watched her run away.
Mrs qin mouth dropped when she saw them exchanged forehead kis-ses.
Wasn’t she the one who just told them to stop being with eachother?. Didn’t she just warn that little stubborn head a moment ago?
Amy decisively walked past her mom without giving her a single glance.
As soon as Amy was up, She stepped down the stairs towards xan.
” As far as i stay in this house, i don’t want to see you ever close to my daughter again.” She said and brou-ght out a piece of dollar and staped it on his che-st.
” This is for the ride, bringing me from my home to meet my daughter. i don’t think i owe you anything again. Tomorrow, leave and don’t ever think of coming back or else you get arrested, no joking!.” She sneered and turned around to go.
Xan immediately stopped her arm, gripping it fiercely.
” So you stopped me from seeing your daughter huh?. You’ve stopped me from going close to her or coming to this house. Why don’t you just stop me from existing as well, mn?” he asked as his eyes turned sober.
” Are you saying i can’t do that too?” She asked, folding up her mom.
Xan left hold of her hands as an hiss escaped his li-ps.
” I will love your daughter no matter what you do. You hear me?. So just get ready to accept me as a son inlaw, like it or not!” He yelled and walked away to his room, slamming the door.
Mrs qin folded her hands as she laughed inwardly.
” This is hilarious.” She said, and looked over to the direction of his room.

…….NEXT MORNING…
AT THE ROADSIDE.
Vixen was driving to work on that monday morning when suddenly the car broke down on the road side.
He hit the steering wheel with anger, resting his head on it.
” Dammit!! So i can’t even borrow my brother’s car for a day!. fuc-k. This is the worst car i have ever seen!” He yelled and tried to put on the car again.
He matched on the brake, pulling his anger on everything his hand touches.
” If this freaking car don’t drive now I’ll just abadon it here and trek to work!. Afterall, legs pay as a good exercise as well.” He said.
He pushed the gear forward and stepped on his pedal at the same and the car ran.
The car began to move in a haste and it went splashing muds on a girl who was waiting for a car at the side of the road.
Vixen halted the car immediately. He inhaled de-eperly, thanking God for his life.
The lady he splashed mud on came by, knocking on his window gla-ss.
He sighed, stepping out with the mindset of showing her his piece of his mind.
As soon as he stepped out, the girl paused staring at him with awe. Vixen knew this was another fish who wanted to fall into his traps.
No girl would see himfor the first time and won’t comment on his extra good looks.
” Hey. Old lady keep on staring. The body doesn’t belong to girls like you.” He chuckled, giving a freestyle posing.
She walked up to him and greeted him with a hot, energetic slap on his cheek.
Vixen palmed his two cheeks even tho she slapped one side of his cheeks. Somehow, her slap had affected both side of his face.
He slowly wondered if her hand were made of iron and needles.
And how could a mere little girl like her, a girl of no cla-ss slap him to that extent.
” Where you that blind!. Didn’t you know you are suppse to slow down in the mud, huh?. If you wanted to die why didn’t you just drive straight into a lagoon!” She yelled.
” D..did you know who you just slapped?” Vixen asked, still cu-pping his red cheeks.
” Tsk!. An Ugly looking BAmboo and an over weighted pig on suit, what elsel?” she yelled.
Vixen found himself laughing inwardly as he looked away in shock.
No one had could actually insult him and defile his looks.
He wished he could just strangle the girl and watch her happily die in peace in her grave!.
He grabbed her wrist, staring daggers at her.
” Do you think you could slap me and get away it!!?. Look, I’m not afraid to beat up girls especially ones that don’t have manners!”
” It seems like you don’t know who i am. Your brain won’t function for the next ten years if i lay a finger on you.” She said and without any effort, vixen had turned cold and scared.
He believed that this girl was not human at all. He had come across an insane tout.
” Look at what you’ve done to my white shirt and today was suppose to be my interview” She said.
She took off her white shirt and luckily, she was wearing a spare cloth inside.
She threw the cloth on vixen’s face.
” Wash this and keep it for your children to wear incase you become poor.”
Vixen dragged it off his face, fisting his arm. He dragged her closer by her wrist and leaned close to her ear.
” i absolutely don’t know what to say to you. The only thing you are asking for is death and I’m not afraid to give you.” Vixen sneered with his de-eper hollowed voice
” Oh, well. I don’t mind waiting for you to come with your guns and men. I’m sure with just the knock of my heels on your head, you will get a little life transformation.” She said.
She picked out her c.v, staring daggers at him. Sh stretched it to his arms reach.
” I can’t find a job looking like this. It’s up to you to find one for me. I’m katrina. When do you want me to come for the interview?” She asked and smiled brightly at him.
