317 The Billion Dollar Exchange (2/2)

Wiping her eyes, she rushed to the sink and put on the tap;

''Yeah, I'm here, I'll be out in a bit; ''

She said; raising her voice, so he won't realize that she was crying;

''Okay, ''

He replied and stood by the door for some time before he walked out;

When she heard him move away, she reached for her phone;

As though the person who had sent the message sensed that she had seen the video; there was another text;

''How do you like my gift, beautiful Liling? I see your marriage certificate online already, so quick? I warned you baby but you refused to listen; too bad now you have to choose between the two men that matter the most in your life…

So beautiful Liling, these are my terms; if you want your father alive, this night, I want you to write a letter telling Liu Wei that you don't want to be with him again; pack your stuff and leave the country this night; else your father will die and I'll send his head to you on a platter;

This are my terms; when you're at the airport, call me and I'll let your father go, he's in safe hands now, but I can't guarantee his safety if you don't comply;

By the time Liling was through with the message; she was already wailing like a baby; she quickly put on the shower to prevent Liu Wei from hearing her voice;

She cried till she could feel her limbs no more;

How would she tell her to leave Liu Wei and the country without saying goodbye to anyone?

How would she leave everything behind and go away just like that?

All the while, she had thought that Liu Wei would be the one to leave her, never in her world had she imagined that she would leave him;

The mere thought of it, sent waves of pain coursing through her bones;

She immediately picked up her phone and dialed the unknown number;

It rang for a few seconds before the person on the other end picked;

''Hello beauty, you finally called, took so long;''

She recognized the voice immediately as Yan Ran's

''Please, I need more time, please, give me more time… 2 weeks… a week… please…''

''baby girl, you're in the bathroom right now, am I correct? ''

Liling froze at that statement;

''Yeah, I can see you, I'm just trying to let you know that if Liu Wei finds out; your father is dead and trust me, I'll make sure I don't go down alone, you are going down with me, so do the rightful, cause I'm running out of patience. ''

Liling bit her tongue to hold in her tears;

''Yan Ran, what did I do so wrong? What did I do to you? ''

''Are you asking me that?! Are you really asking me that?! ''

Liling shuddered when she heard the sound of glass breaking;

There was quiet for a moment before Liling spoke up again;

''I'm sorry Yan Ran, please can you give me 24 hours, by tomorrow night, I should be out of the country; please…''

Yan Ran was quiet; as though thinking about it;
