Unexpected Encounter:They Were Meant To Be Together

"Well, I am not a Li so," Becca sighed and helplessly shook, "let me worry for them then."

"You kidding me? You shouldn't worry too because soon you are gonna become a part of our family officially okay? Remember my mom is a Xie so I have both the Li and Xie blood running in my veins so technically we are Xie's as well."

Becca raised her eyebrows and asked, "Wait, what the hell are you talking about?"

"What? You really think I did not notice what is happening between you and Yinhai? Well, I know I am very occupied with Guang these days but that doesn't mean you are out of my radar okay? So are you gonna tell me or should I ask Yinhai?" Qiang asked.

"There is nothing going on between us and did you forget that he is going on a date with that Yasmin?"

Qiang chuckled and helplessly shook her head, "Her name is Jasmine and dude, you do know how she is right? How can you possibly think that sometime is going to happen between that horny woman and my brother? Like seriously? My v.i.r.g.i.n brother will actually get lost in her cave even if they end up doing it for pleasure."

Becca frowned and smacked Qiang's arm, "Filter your words Qiang."

"What is there to filter? That is a fact Bec. As if you don't know the huge number of visitors her cave had when we were in highschool. There was like no guy in our class she did not sleep with."

"If you are talking about Jasmine then she was head over heels for Guang," Ashton suddenly jumped into the conversation startling both of them.

Becca frowned and snapped, "Were you eavesdropping?"

"You girls are loud so it's not my fault."

Qiang raised brows and asked, "What did you say about Jasmine and Guang?"

"Well, they did spend a couple of hours together in the empty library but no one knows what they did." Ashton added.

"Ahh I heard about that too," Recalling the rumour that she had heard in her high school, Becca chuckled, "There was also a rumour that Jasmine was polishing her sucking skills at that time so—"

Ashton grinned and nodded his head, "Wuhuu lucky Gua—" he stopped midway when Qiang glared at him.

"How I never heard that rumour? We were in the same high school right? And how are you all so sure that they did something? Maybe they were just talking and—"

Cutting her off, Becca chuckled, "It's Jasmine we are talking about and don't tell me you don't know how she is."

"Yes Guang came out off fresh and energetic from the library so may be—"

"Shut up, do you want me to go and tell Elsa about your bad habits?" Qiang threatened Guang, forcing him to keep shut.

Looking at Guang, she added, "And why should I listen to you people? I know that Guang never had anything with that Yasmine."

Becca chuckled and hooked her arms around Qiangs neck, "It's Jasmine."

….

"Look Ben, I know that you are worried about Clara and so am I but this isn't the right time to fight or discuss anything, we need to find Clara. You have no idea how mentally ill that Farak guy is and I am scared that he will harm her."

Pausing for a while, he added, "I swear Ben, after we find Clara you can trash me as much as you want but right now we need to look for her."

Philip was already very guilty and sorry for what he had done with Clara and now if something happened to her, he wouldn't be able to forgive himself. He was very well aware of how dangerous and merciless Farak Lafit is. A man who could kill his uncle without batting an eye in front of his parents and the entire Lafit family could do anything.

"I think he is right, we need to look for her first." Turning towards Guang, Sam asked, "Did you find out anything else?"

"I found out that Farak Lafit is missing too but brother Liyang is already looking into it."

Yinhai frowned and asked, "The Lafit family is in country S?"

Zian nodded his head and explained, "After their bankruptcy, they shifted to country S because of their collaborations with the Norway family."

"That is true, I was the one who helped them with the paperwork." Philip added.

"So there is actually a high chance that Farak has something to do with Clara being missing?" Sam asked.

Guang nodded his head and said, "Hmm it has to be him."

Massaging his forehead, Ben sighed and sat down on the couch. He was feeling anxious, heart broken, sad, angry and so many different kinds of emotions that he couldn't express.

…..

Outskirts of country S

With her head throbbing in pain and her vision blurry, Clara tried to get up only to find out that her legs and hands were chained to a metal pipe.

The floor was wet, greasy and cold, the air inside a room had a strong ironic smell which made her feel pukish.

Looking around her she realised that maybe she was inside a bas.e.m.e.nt. The room was visibly dark with only a small yellow bulb as a source of light.

Pulling her hands, she tried to free herself but couldn't. She clearly remembered walking towards the mansion after Sam dropped her home and then everything after that was blurry and very hard to remember.

Just then she heard a very shrill sound of a metal being dragged on the floor. She stretched her neck in an attempt to see who it was. Suddenly the brightened up when someone turned on the lights, completely blinding her sight.

Blinking twice and thrice when Clara opened her eyes, she screamed and squeezed her eyes shut when she saw a man's body hanging on the ceiling covered in blood.

"I see you are awake big sister."

Slowly opening her eyes, she turned pale in fear when she saw who it was.
