Chapter 5 - The Great Escape
It took a while but in six days, I could walk around perfectly, just like before. Running was a little hard for me but it was all alright.
I called Obi immediately after Aubery left my room. He seemed relieved that I was okay and told me to get back soon.
I didn't leave the room and simply wasted the days away. Aubery always came to see how I was doing. Then, on the sixth day, he asked me a weird request.
Aubery Kung
Come to my company with me!
It was a weird request but did give me my golden chance to escape.
As I got dressed, Carson entered the room while I was brushing my hair.
Mr Carson
Miss Sze, there is something that you should know how Mr Kung. The truth is that he hates to talk to other people. Running a company requires that and he hates talking with strangers.
Nina Sze
So why is he so outspoken with me?
Mr Carson
He loves you, Miss Sze. To him, you are no stranger. He has been having the same dream every night for three years about your first encounter.
Mr Carson
Also, the fact that you have given birth to a son is something that might overwhelm him. He might appreciate the fact that he will have to share you so I understand why you didn't mention it to him when he was here.
Since Carson didn't uncover my secret to Aubery, I feel like I can trust him.
Nina Sze
Shiro is a terrible smart boy. He was just like me at my age but he started to study on his own violation.
Nina Sze
I was adopted because they didn't expect to have children. But when my adopted mother gave birth to Dora, it was like there was no longer a place for me in their heart.
Nina Sze
They pushed me aside, started to take photographs without me and no matter what Dora did, they would always forgive her. Me on the other hand...
Mr Carson
Seems to me like the Sze's weren't as benevolent as they pretend to be.
Nina Sze
I started to study hard so that they could learn to love me again but no matter how many prizes I won or how many competitions I conquered, it just got worse.
Nina Sze
I started to make Dora into a shadow behind me unintentionally. The press adored me and always praised the so-called sisterly relationship that we had. But it never existed. Just like my parent's love for me.
Nina Sze
So I decided to forget about them. The night that I met Aubery, they made me sign a parent-child separation agreement. It wasnt because I had slept out of the house or anything. It's just that they had enough of me.
Nina Sze
It was what Dora asked for her birthday. Her birthday gift was to kick me out of the house and they gave it to her.
Those people aren't my parents. They are hateful creatures who made my life hell.
Mr Carson
Miss Sze, I- Mr Kung!
I turned around and there he was at the door.
Aubery Kung
Did they bully you? Did Dora Sze bully you? Did your parents really kick you out just to please her?
I wasn't going to deny it since he heard it all. What I was hoping that he didn't hear was the part about Shiro but he seems a little too calm for someone who just discovered that he has a three-year-old son.
Aubery then took out his phone and started to dial a number.
Aubery Kung
Hello? Star entertainment? Yes, this is indeed Aubery Kung. Terminate your contract with Dora Sze and spread the word that if anyone hires her, that they'll have to deal with me!
Nina Sze
H-Hey, what do you think you are doing?
He then ran to my side and smiled.
Aubery Kung
Defending my wife, of course! That is the husband's job, after all.
He's still going on and on about this husband and wife charade.
Nina Sze
Let me go home already!
Aubery Kung
No, not until you tell me that you love me!
You can't be serious... well, at least I know that he doesn't do well in huge crowds.
Aubery Kung walked along the marble flooring of his company. He seemed pale, seeing everyone look at him. He held tightly onto my hand, something that he had requested to do before leaving. He really is scared of crowds.
Arriving to the lift, the moment the door closed, Carson handed him some medicine.
Mr Carson
Here, Sir. Your medicine!
Swallowing it whole, he looked at me and said:
Aubery Kung
Stop the elevator.
Mr Carson
But we haven't reached-
Aubery Kung
Stop the elevator, I said!
Carson immediately stopped the lift and Aubery pushed him out. Closing the doors again, he then turned towards me.
Pushing me towards the corner of the elevator, he immediately smiled and kissed my neck.
Nina Sze
Hey! Get off of me! Someone could stop the lift at any moment-
Aubery Kung
This is my company. I can do what I want in it.
Slowly, he moved up to my ear, sinking his teeth into the firm cartilage.
I quickly covered my mouth as soon as the sound escaped. Aubery smiled.
Aubery Kung
Oh, you truly know how to turn a man on, darling wifey!
Just as he approached my lips, the lift doors opened to reveal two woman with coffee cups in their hands. As they went to walk in, they noticed the situation that Aubery was in. They didn't see my face but they quickly stepped back.
Aubery eyed them coldly as the door closed yet again. The entire time that he was talking to those women, he was trembling.
He really is bad with strangers. I wonder what the cause of that might be...
Aubery Kung
Now, where were we?
Nina Sze
Haven't you learnt? People can come in here whenever... you've got your reputation as CEO to think about!
Aubery Kung
When it comes down to my company or you, wifey, I'd give up my company in a heartbeat.
Hold on, he sounds serious... His hand trailed down my leg, pulling me towards him. As he went to kiss me, I put my hands over my mouth and looked at him with sharp eyes.
Aubery Kung
Not feeling up to it today? That's fine! I'll let you get away with it this time but don't think that you can get out of it next time!
Unfortunately, there won't be a next time. I then saw my chance. I took off one of my earrings nd dropped it into the elevator. It soon stopped and we walked out.
As we were just in front of his office door, I put my hand to my ear.
Nina Sze
My earring! It must have fallen out in the elevator!
Aubery Kung
I'll send someone to find it-
Nina Sze
Don't bother. Besides... shouldn't you get ready?
I then held his hands and walked towards him with a seductive grin. Immediately, he started to blush.
Aubery Kung
R-Ready for what?
Nina Sze
Silly, are you going to make me say it outloud?
At that moment, his entire face turned red. I see now, he can still get embarrassed if I say stuff like that. He's so shy for someone with his stamina.
Aubery Kung
I'll get ready... but take your time!
Walking back to the elevator, I picked up my earring and put it in. Then, I clicked the ground floor, where I walked out. Crossing the company floor, I got out of the building and ran.
Aubery was desperately trying to clear his desk. He threw his pencils and expensive contracts in the bin and pulled back his hair, unbuttoning a few buttons of his shirt and loosening his tie.
He could only imagine what his wife was going to do with him... since that was the only thing that he would be able to do.
Then, Carson walked into his office with contracts in his hands.
Aubery Kung
Where's Nina Sze?
Mr Carson
Miss Sze? I didn't see her, where is-
They both realised what had happened and Aubrey slammed his fists against his desk.
Aubery Kung
She wants to run again... Carson, find her before she can try anything!
-Meanwhile, in kindergarten-
Shiro Sze
Mummy! You're out!
Nina Sze
Get in the car, Shiro. We need to leave, now!
We jumped into the car as soon as we left the school. Shiro buckled in next to me as I pressed on the accelerator, zooming towards the airport.
Shiro Sze
Mummy, there are some cars that are chasing us!
Nina Sze
Don't underestimate your mother! I raced against Grand Prix champions back when I was a little younger. Trust me when I say that I can drive stick!
I pressed on the accelerator, passing every red light that came in my way. Then, a car zoomed out of nowhere, making me swerve to the side. I then quickly changed to reverse, zooming down the highway in reverse.
I saw Aubery's men look in disbelief as I quickly turned around and started to pick up speed. This car was a gift to Obi back in the day when I received my first cheque from my company, Midnight Group. It has a lot of horsepower and can outrun any car with the right driver.
Shiro Sze
Mummy, there are three trucks in front of us!
He was right. Just my luck... they'd catch up to me in no time! Then, I looked up ahead and saw the bridge and the tunnel that we were going under.
Nina Sze
Hold on tight, Shiro. You wanted to see how amazing your Mummy, right?
Shiro Sze
Yeah, but I don't want to die during the demonstration, thanks!
I've got to get the right timing! The truck in the middle had a ramp that overlooked the top of the truck. It's large enough for a car as small as this one to go up.
I sped up, making Shiro cling onto the armrests of the car frantically.
At that moment, my heart skipped a beat as my life flashed before my eyes. The car flew into the air and then broke through the metal barrier, sending me swerving across the bridge. The cars past harmlessly under the bridge, loosing us.
Shiro Sze
Okay, Mummy! You are amazing but please don't do that ever again!
Nina Sze
Don't worry! Let's hurry to the airport.
As I swerved around and took as many shortcuts, as illegal as they were, to get to the airport before Aubery got there.
Nina Sze
Here. Get out of the car and run.
As we ran into the airport, I ran to the front desk.
Nina Sze
My name is Nina Sze and I'd like to board my friend, Obi Torres's plane. Here are all of the documents!
I'm so glad that he forgot them in the car! As they checked through them, the check-in lady gestured towards the back door.
Flight Attendant 1
This way, Miss Sze.
I then sent a message to Obi that Shiro and I were leaving for France again. Jumping into a car, we headed right for the jet. We were saved!
Then, a huge explosion shook the ground and my face turned pale when I saw that it was my private jet that had blown up. And there I saw him, standing in front of it. Aubery Kung...
There he was, waiting for me next to Carson. This is bad! The next closest airport is two hours away. What to do? Darn it, I shouldn't have been predictable like that!
I punched the chair in anger. He just blew up a private plane! One that isn't his property! That's not the biggest point though! He has explosives!
Shiro Sze
Mummy, what do we do now?
The car stopped in front of Aubery and the attendant jumped out, bowing to him out of respect.
Flight Attendant 1
Delivered, per requested Mr Kung.
Nina Sze
You blew up a plane!
Aubery Kung
I'll buy you another one.
Flight Attendant 1
Mr Kung, the plane does not belong to her but rather her friend, Obi Torres.
Hearing his name, I tensed. Turning towards me, he looked angry.
Aubery Kung
You've got a man who can lend you a private jet on notice, hm? How convenient, he must think highly of you.
The jet was mine. I bought it but since I was afraid of my parents finding out, I put it under Obi's name.
Aubery Kung
Carson, get my jet. We are flying to Costa Rica.
Nina Sze
You selfish... conceited... two-faced... cowardly JERK!
My sudden outburst made Carson shiver.
Nina Sze
Why can't you just let me go? I have my own life and my own expectations to uphold! I've got to provide for a child, pay rent and-
I couldn't say the last thing. I've kept the fact that I was Midnight's CEO for 7 years. It was a company that I built from the ground up, without investors or anyone's help.
Aubery Kung
Why don't you understand? I could give you everything you could possibly desire. The only condition is to love me!
I've had enough of playing cat and mouse with this man. I then raised my head and looked down at him with eyes as cold as ice.
Nina Sze
You are bothering me. Go away!
