Finding Purpose

Lily completely surrendered herself to Chen. It was very shocking to him. Lily is a rebellious girl due to the cruel world. She doesn’t hesitate to argue and fight with Chen. Then what happened during those few hours that made her give up on herself.

Chen gently kissed Lily's forehead and said " Don't offer yourself so easily. You should be cherished not to be achieved. " and left the room.

The words that came from Chen's mouth was very romantic. But it didn’t seem romantic to Lily because she just lost her first love. It was a never ending night so she decided to sleep and wake up to a fresh tomorrow.

The Next Morning :

It was a gloomy day just like Lily. She woke up early. It was the first time after staying with Chen Lily was doing things on her own. She woke up and went downstairs for breakfast. But it wasn’t familiar because Chen and his gang members weren’t present. There were only some housekeepers.

There were also no extra guards present and the door of the Mansion wasn’t locked. It seemed like Chen finally trusted her or he knows that she have no other place to go to.

Lily's time wasn’t passing quickly. She was always a busy girl. She never had time for herself. But now she has all the time in the world. She watched TV for sometime and got bored pretty easily. She had her phone beside her all the time to talk to talk to her friends and Justin.

She went downstairs to the kitchen to help. Otherwise she would die from the boredom. Aunt Anna the senior housekeeper asked " What do you want Madame ? " Lily didn’t liked the word Madame because it claimed that She is the wife or mistress of Chen but she was neither of those. Lily said to Aunt Anna to call her just Lily but she didn’t agree because it was Chen's order.

Lily couldn’t care less about Chen but she owe her life to him indirectly so this small order can be followed by her. Lily tried to go to the kitchen but the guards stopped her because the last time she went there she got herself hurt. Lily just wanted to help.

Lily looked at the open door and thought that she was finding ways everyday to open the door so that she can escape. But now when the door is opened she don’t want to go. She completed her goal but now she have nothing to do.

Aunt Anna asked " Do you want to go for a stroll Madame ? "

Lily hysterically laughed and said " No, I won't be able to control myself and would make a fool out of myself again. "

For the first time Lily was waiting for Chen to come. She can't just sit in the mansion and do nothing. Lily had so much ambitions in her life but life brought her here. A Golden Cage. She had to find a purpose again. She wants the fire in her life back. She decided to please Chen.

Night Time :

A car came. Lily knew that Chen has arrived. She came hurriedly downstairs to talk to Chen. She asked " Has Chen came ? "

Chen saw her and his ego was satisfied. He asked " Did you missed me, darling ? "

Lily didn't wanted to lie. She said " Let's have dinner. "

Chen thought that Lily likes him. Chen asked Aunt Anna that what did Lily did the whole day. Aunt Anna said everything about Lily wanting to go to kitchen, not going for a stroll, eating timely.

Chen said " Good girl. Now you're listening. "

Lily asked " Do you have my phone with you, Chen ? "

Chen's expression changed to be annoying " Yes. Why do you need it ? "

Lily got a ray of hope. She asked " Did anybody called ? "

Chen sarcastically replied '' Yes. The president called. " All the members started laughing.

Lily became numb. She again asked " Did nobody called ? "

Chen didn’t know why his heart ached after seeing Lily hurt. Chen said " A crazy girl named Nina called thousand times and sent infinite messages. "

Lily's eyes were sparkling from the hope. She asked " Can I talk to her ? " Chen said No.

Lily asked " Why ? She's my best friend. We went through everything together. "

Chen said " She must be lesbian. "

Lily said " No. She isn't. She also has a boyfriend. "

Chen then said " Then she must be bisexual. "

Lily became irritated. She said " You spend so much time with guys. Have I told that you’re gay ? "

Chen became agitated and said " How dare you put false allegations on me just because I forbid you from talking to someone crazy. "

Lily said " Fine but what about my college ? "

Chen asked " What about it ? "

Lily asked " When can I rejoin college ? "

Chen said " You aren’t going back. "

Lily got up and asked " Why can't I go ? All my hardships will go in vain. My education will be incomplete. "

Chen remained calm and said " I can educate you. "

Lily sarcastically said " What will I learn from you ? How to kill people and other illegal things. "

Chen got up and slammed the table and said " Are you calling me illiterate ? "

Lily timidly said " I'm a law student and you’re a criminal. "

Chen became furious like always and said " You can study business. I can buy law firms in your name you can pass judgement as you want. "

Lily went to her room by saying " But I don't want that. Can't you understand human language ? "

Chen kept shouting. He didn't understand what Lily wants. He went to her room and saw Lily lying on the bed. He sat on the bed and asked " What do you want ? "

Lily replied by saying " Purpose. "

Chen asked " What's wrong in here? Do you want a bigger house or a unlimited credit card ? "

Lily said " I have my own dream. I can't change my life and myself in a week. "
