After drying his hair for him, s.h.i.+ Xue fought her sleepiness . Seeing her repeatedly shook her head to stay awake, he chuckled slightly making sure he doesn't wake her up . He corrected her position so that she wouldn't wake up with pain from sleeping in a bad posture . Then he gently brushed her hair with one hand as he held onto her hands with the other hand .

My heart never felt this type of fulfillment . The joy of being able to spend every moment with you hearing you laugh, seeing you smile, and teasing you until you blush . You alone is enough . . more than enough . Perhaps even I don't know how much I love you, it is immeasurable . As a CEO and the ruthless demon in others eyes, I handle more than I can and need to reach more than others expect . Only when I am in front of you can I smile so freely and speak casually . Only in front of you can I feel peace and stress free . When I watched you go after you recovered from the gunshot last time, my heart had an unspeakable pain . But now, it hurt me more to see you cry and wounded . So forgive me . . everyone is selfish so let me be selfish for this time . . let me keep you by my side even after you recover . I won't let go of this happiness for the second time . . . I will protect you from now on . No matter what . . . I'll be here .

He gave her a small peck on her forehead before heading out of her room .

. . . If I stay any longer I would end up being there the whole morning again . . .

Zhi Hei: Any updates?

Shen Qi: Boss! We found out that the s.h.i.+ Huang Jie (Uncle of s.h.i.+ Xue) is trying to win the contract for a new machine that is newly released from the Mos Corps overseas for the company he opened outside of s.h.i.+ Corps . They seemed to have bribed through connections to lay their hands on this contract . They also invested in many resources from manufacturers preparing for the upcoming contract .

Zhi Hei smirked: Good . Give a Call to president Mos and let him we are also interested in this project . The conditions will be 2 times better than the ones offered by s.h.i.+ Corps .

Shen Qi: Alright . I'll contact them and see what they say .

-Call ends-

Zhi Hei grinned . "About time . . I let you taste a bit of bitter . . but a more entertaining show is coming for all of you . . . "

In the middle of the night, s.h.i.+ Xue was twisting and turning in her sleep . It was the same dream, all dark and no lights . This time, a man's shadow could be seen and the voice became clearer . "s.h.i.+ Xue, be careful . . . be careful of stairs . . " As the voice began to fade, s.h.i.+ Xue slowly became conscious . It was still dark so when she woke up her room appeared all dark . She tried to turn on the lgiths, but instead knocked over the lamp . Her anxiety increased and breathing became unsteady . The more nervous she became, the less energy she had in her body to move . She trembled and started breaking down by her bed .

"Zhi . . Zhi Hei . . . cellphone . . . right he gave me one to call him . . . . "

-dials call-

Zhi Hei: "s.h.i.+ Xue?"

s.h.i.+ Xue: *cries* "Zhi . . Hei . . I'm s . . scared . . . " *hiccups*

Zhi Hei: "What's Wrong??"

He quickly got off bed and rushed to her room keeping the call on .

When he ran into her room and turned on the lights, he saw her trembling and shaking while crying . He also saw the shattered lamp not too far from her bedside . He quickly examined her to ensure she didn't suffer from any pain or wounds from the broken lamp then hugged her asking her what's wrong .

"There was a man . . . "

"A man? where??"

"In my dreams . . it was so dark and I was alone . . I couldn't see who he was . . but I woke up and it was also dark . I accidentally pushed over the lamp"

"It's okay . . it's alright now . . I'm here . I'll stay with you alright?" he wiped her tears and carried her back to the bed as he ordered maids to clean up the broken pieces . Seeing her swollen eyes from crying, his heart shattered . Nightmares . . . Better contact Chen Mu to come here later .

After bringing her a gla.s.s of warm milk, he stayed her by side . He rubbed her soft hands until she fell back asleep . After seeing her fall asleep, he took a pillow and blanket and settled at the couch across from her bed in case she wakes up again . That night, he couldn't sleep as he looked at her from the couch . His hands slowly clenched as he once again swears that he will avenge on those who once hurt her . s.h.i.+ corps belonged to her so he wouldn't destroy it . Only, that pile of disgrace so called family members . . will one by one suffer their own fate .
