Chapter 355 - The Mafia King's Awakening - Pain (2)

*Flashback*

"Divorce…?" Wei stared at Lihua. He heard the words, but they failed to register in his mind. There was utter chaos in his heart, and he felt as if something sharp ripped through his chest.

Lihua quietly said, "Yes."

Wei stared at her for a long time until a nervous chuckle escaped his lips. "W-What are you saying, Lihua? What about divorce?"

Lihua clenched the blanket in her fist. "I am not going back on my words no matter how they sound. Wei. Did you really think that I will still live with you after everything that has happened? You think that I am supposed to...live with a murderer who took my sister away from me?"

He trembled.

"There is…" Lihua gasped, and a feeling of loss and sorrow erupted in her heart. "There is nothing else to be done. You...you ruined everything…"

Wei grabbed her shoulders. "D-Don't say that, Lihua. I know. I have made mistakes. I have lied to you. You-you punish me however you want…" the fear made him feel as if everything was ending. And he wanted to do everything he could to stop that from happening.

He hugged her hard, and his body trembled as tears fell. "But don't say that you will leave me... Please... I cannot live without you, Lihua. Y-You are everything to me. I don't know what I will do if I lose you. Please Lihua. I beg you...I want to live with you. With our c-child. I want to raise our baby with you. I want to do so many things with you. I want to take you to the whole world. But…don't say that you will leave me. I cannot lose you-"

"Lose me? Wei, do you realize how many people I have lost because of you?"

He froze.

Lihua pushed him away. "My sister, you because you betrayed me and with you, I...have lost the whole Jiang family too…It felt so nice to live in such a warm family. Mom, Dad, Uncle, Aunt, FaiFai, Jiang Li, Jiang Ruiling, Grandma...it felt so peaceful and happy. But I cannot live in that house anymore. I have to leave you, and so I-I have lost everybody along the way. It feels lonely. I had so many people behind my back till yesterday, and now I have nobody. No, Wei. You haven't lost anything. I am the one...who has miserably lost here."

The faded light in her eyes turned cold and icy. "That's why Wei, we have to separate."

"No…" Wei parted and closed his lips many times, but he couldn't say anything back.

"H-How can we live separately? Our love, our child...How will you and our child live alone…"

She looked away. "You don't have to worry about it," she blankly said, "I don't know what I will do, but...I will figure it out," she trembled, and tears dropped on the pillow. "I will give my everything to raise my child the best I can. Also…"

She clenched her fists. The next words that she was going to say were agonizing to her, too, as much as they would be to Wei when he would hear them. But she had to do it.

"I-It's only my child, Wei. You lost the right to call it ours after what you have done."

Wei shook hard. His mind went utterly blank. The cruel words stabbed and twisted his heart.

Lihua tearfully gasped, "The father of my child cannot be a murderer. He cannot be a liar. He cannot be someone w-who showed me the sky but... also pushed me down to the ground so hard that I don't even feel alive anymore."

"Lihua…" his voice was a soft mewl. He tried to hold her hand, but she moved it away.

It was heartbreaking. He felt dark and empty. He lost the right to call his child his. He was so thrilled to learn that he would become a father. But now, Lihua drew a line between them. He had nothing to do either with her or with her child.

She raised her palm. "Enough, Wei. I had enough. I heard enough. Your apology, guilt, or pleading cannot change anything. It's too late, and too many things have happened that cannot make me forgive you…"

There was a long silence.

Wei's figure tiredly collapsed on the chair. His eyes looked like they had lost all hope. Lihua wasn't going to forgive him. There was nothing that could make her change her mind, no matter how much he begged.

Lihua took a deep breath and finally looked at him. "Wei. You are the Mafia King. You have money, power and influence. But...I will still fight against you."

His eyelashes slightly trembled, and he looked at her in a stupor. He didn't understand what she meant.

Lihua's gaze was resolute and determined, but there was pain and sorrow too.

"You have killed my sister. Don't think I will," she clenched her jaw and found it difficult to speak, "I will let you free. You have to pay the price of taking away an innocent life."

He stared at her.

"I will fight for sis's justice. I will...I will put you to jail no matter what it takes."

Wei slowly blinked his eyes and tilted his head.

"Even if it looks impossible to stand against you, I will. Sis Jia…" she sobbed and choked, "the least she deserves is justice for her murder. I-I couldn't do anything for her. Until now, she always protected me, but I could give nothing in return. But this time, I will. This time, I will stand up for her. Her murderer has to suffer punishment. Even if it is my husband, I will send him to j-jail…"

Wei slowly widened his eyes. "Lihua. Is that what you want? I....I said that I would do anything you wanted. If I surrender myself, w-will you…" tears streamed down his cheeks, "will you forgive me?"
