Chapter 1 - Tree of Heaven (1/2)

XXXX,

January, New Years Day.

It was nighttime when the Heavens became filled with thunder as the heavy rain poured down to the earth. Just like the News had predicted, a cyclone, which formed at sea was expected to make landfall in the city around midnight. During this massive downpour, the hurricane winds were strong enough to break trees in two, so it was a significant hazardous storm.

'Tud--Tud,' the sounds of footsteps rapidly moving in this massive rainfall was heard overtop of the rain. Two shadows under the substantial humidity carried out a coffin from a van.

”Hurry up, we don't have all day.” a woman in red stilettos walked towards the two shadows.

”Is that Bit**h dead yet?” the same woman's voice demanded with a solemn tone.

”Don't worry, Honey. Even if she isn't, we can just bury her alive.” The cold voice of a man came from behind the woman. He affectionately squeezed her around the waist.

”Rong baby, I wanna see the Wh**e for the last time.” The woman, Wei Wan, poked her finger at the man's ċhėst, her lips curving into a pout.

”Open it,” the man ordered while gazing at Wei Wan in his embrace. One of the shadows opened it, and inside the coffin, was a pregnant woman with a big tummy and wounds all over her body.

When he saws her sleeping due to her unconscious state, the man fumed with anger and kicked her belly violently to vent it out.

”Ahh--Ahh--Ahh!!! My Child!” the lady, laying in the casket, shouted out in torment as she held her stomach and gazed toward those vicious monsters.

”Li Rong, you heartless monster! Why are you doing this to me? Ahh, Ahh,” the anguished voice of the woman cried out.

Wei Wan bend down a little and glared at her in the eyes. ”Why don't you just die already Yue Wan? You shouldn't have even been born in the first place! ” Wei Wan gave a mocking smile.

”You thought all this happened because of your step-brother,” she let out a sarcastic laugh and stated: ”Poor you, you had no idea you were merey a tool in my palm. But in the end, thanks to you, we have eliminated the sole heir of the Yue family. Hahaha!”

”Wh--What do you mean?” After thinking for a second, Yue Wan screamed in horror. ”Wei Wan, you Bi**h! I will kill you! I will kill you!” Yue Wan rushed toward Wei Wan, but before she could touch her, Li Rong caught her hand in mid-air.

'Slap___Slap,' the sound of the slap echoed through the night.

”You W***e. You dare to touch my WanWan?!? You think you're a princess now? Hahaha. You're just a runaway murderer,” Li Rong ranted while laughing.

”No! I didn't. You told me to do it. You said that the drug would make him unconscious, but you lied to me.” With tears streaming down her face, Yue Wan sat there with trembling hands.

”What have l done?” her voice was full of fear and regret.

”Ahhhh! Why? Why?” She shouted at Li Rong, the person she had loved more than anything.

”Who told you to be the only daughter of the Yue family?” Wei Wan's eyes stared at her in disdain.
