Novels by Yoanna

After I was kicked from Kang Xianliang’s room I went back to the one assigned to me from the beginning. Sitting on the bed I started thinking about the actions I could take. Pleading and whining were out of the equation otherwise I would be rolling on the floor wetting it with my tears of desperation. Which meant I had to be cunning and merciless to escape this man’s grip.However, it wouldn’t be easy. He put a lot of effort to establish us as a couple. Even if I wanted to end the ‘’relationship’’ the consequences would be disastrous. Kang Xianliang was a respectable businessman and desirable bachelor by many socialite women. They would hate me in their guts because I stole the man they had their eyes on. After we ‘’break up’’ they will gloat over my presumable misfortune. It wouldn’t matter who initiated the separation.Fortunatel

After he left me alone I was finally able to relax my nerves. I looked over my shoulder at the closed door. I didn’t intend to follow his orders. I wasn’t going to stay idle and let him order me around. I stood up thinking of finding a way to get back home. Waking out of his study I finally paid attention to the interior of the mansion. It screamed luxury and riches. The dominating interior style was German with a touch of Nordic. I walked around a little bit looking for the exit. I was thinking of calling a taxi like the previous time. Suddenly, I realised I don’t have my phone. I double-checked my pockets and surely my purse and phone weren’t there. At this moment I saw the butler who going to do his duties. Gloomily, I stopped him.‘’Excuse me, could you give me back my phone and purse. I want to go home.’’ The man’s expression stiffed followed by his apologetic look.

My heart was beating so hard I felt like it was going to leap from my ribcage. I took deep swallow breaths slowly realising I wasn’t dead. What the hell was this for?! I started trembling due to the abruptly accumulated adrenalin. My teeth were chattering and my body was cold. Above my head, I heard the low chuckle of that damn man.‘’Did you really think I was going to kill you?’’ I threw him an accusatory gaze and tightly pursed my lips. If I only opened my mouth I wasn’t sure if I would be able to shut up even if he ended my life for real.‘’Was I supposed to think of something else?’’ In the end, I couldn’t stay quiet. I spit the words through my gritted teeth while trying to suppress the rage and distress fighting to prevail over my emotions. This man and his unpredictable actions scared me almost the same way Xavier did.

Seeing the muzzle of the gun I felt strangely calm. Yes, firstly I was startled but after that, my body relaxed. My shoulders dropped weakly while I contemplated whether I would have the time to feel the pain from the gunshot. Surely, it would be a less painful death than the one I narrowly escaped. Maybe, because my emotions were still under the influence of the earlier nightmare, I felt exhausted and numb. I didn’t want to fight nor plead for my life. It was pointless, as Xavier said. Just a waste of breath.‘’Miss McCarner?’’ The man’s voice brought me back to reality. He motioned with the gun to the chair in front of his desk. As if in a trance I moved my legs from the floor and sat where I was told. My gaze was still glued to the pistol. He noticed my wary state and decided to put the weapon down. However, it was close enough for him to take it wherever he wanted.‘&rsq

It was cold. My body was in tremendous agony. I was soaked in a pool of blood. I tried to move but piercing pain circled through my veins. My heartbeat was wild. I inhaled deeply trying to get some air and at this moment I felt a sharp pain on my chest. Weakly I lifted my head and saw a bleeding hole below my heart.My first reaction was confusion. Wasn’t I saved? Why I was dying again in this warehouse? Was it all a dream? The woman who saved me, my travelling to China, Venice and Kang Xianliang? Were they created from my dying imagination? No. No, it couldn’t be. Impossible. What kind of hallucination was this? Everything was so real. But the pain of my broken bones and cut skin was real too. I felt despair filling my whole being. I started hiccupping and cried like a new-born baby. The air I breathed wasn’t enough and soon I felt nausea.‘’I see you have woken up.’’ This

While I tried to recover from my shock of being in a relationship I knew nothing about, Han Wei noticed my presence.‘’So, the unfilial daughter decided to come home.’’ Her deriding tone made the blood in my veins to boil.‘’Can’t you not jump into conclusions until you hear her opinion of the matter?’’ My mom said through gritted teeth. ‘’Maybe she has a reasonable explanation. Right, Luo?’’‘’I don’t have any relationship with that man.’’ My tone was firm and collected. I wasn’t sure what game Kang Xianliang tried to pull but I didn’t want to participate.‘’If you don’t have a relationship with him, why were you photographed in one of the high-class restaurants in the city? Even the dress you wear now is the same.’’ Y
