Chapter 29 - Life Is A Game Of Chess

Simply, a quality of woman worthy of his efforts. True, He deserves much better!

But instead of rumors and defamation, Lu Jianjun was only concerned for Little Tiger, in the past, Little Tiger wasn't able to handle her ignorance and if she denied or forgot about his existence no one knows how it will impact him emotionally. She has a huge influence on Little Tiger. After all, Little Tiger is a child with special needs.

It was Li Na who took the drugs and Little Tiger paid the price.

Afterward, Lu Jianjun's mother was utterly disappointed with him as she avoided him whereas Master Lu keep pestering him while trying to convince him to bring Li Na home and take her full responsibility by marrying her afterward.

It was a headache for him. Lu Jianjun ȧssured his father that he will take her responsibility. As he particularly told Lu Jun-hui to provide her everything and whatever she demands. Other than that he didn't know how to compensate her or fix this mistake.

He was pissed off!

By that time, nobody knew Li Na was already pregnant. She hid it from everyone because she was scared that Lu family will force her to abort the child.

As Lu Jianjun can't accept the idea of marrying Li Na, cause he was madly in love with a girl.

Sad, he can't keep her for himself.

Years passed one after another but she remained constant.

The first time he saw her. Those few second were engraved in his memories and it felt as fresh as it happened a minute ago.

It's been more than nine years, she was sitting in a cabin and he was passing by when just a random look inside made him turn back to gaze at her captivating and serious expressions. She was the first and the only woman that incited him to stare awestruck. In that very second, it was like there were just the two of them separated from everything around, only the two of them was all that was left.

Unwillingly, Lu Jianjun turned ahead like breaking some sort of spell, he steps forward as he cursed himself under the breath.

'What the f***!' She caught his attention at first look.

Unaware, the beauty doesn't know she just killed the biggest fish in the pond. Sadly, he couldn't catch her cause she was a whole different animal. Call it crazy but Lu Jianjun fell in love with that unique animal. Only one of its own kind.

Everything would have been perfect, only if his girl also loved him.

Sadly, she didn't.

Only if she needed him?

But she didn't. She has everything. Wealth, status, power, and a lover.

Only if... there's one percent of possibility to capture her he would have done that at any cost, except that he couldn't permit a shadow of sorrow or misery on her.

She had won over him eternally with the courage and attitude she has. She was imperfectly perfect. He didn't realize when she climbed up the stairs as she ascends the throne and became the queen. Queen of his heart...

But reality strikes the hardest.

To put it in words, Life is like a game of chess where your move is called your decision and God's move is called a challenge.

Lu Jianjun was so focused on the particular queen that he didn't notice she belonged to the opposite player and he realized only after she defeated the king. Lu Jianjun lost the game.

Defeated in love, Lu Jianjun wished it was just a misunderstanding that she didn't want him. Since the moment he realized this truth, and witness her proposing to another man. His whole world crashed down. He couldn't accept it. As he began thinking to himself what had gone wrong... and realized she had just popped the bubble of his fantasy.

Unable to swallow the loss, Lu Jianjun had numerous choices, a million ways to keep her but the price he needs to pay was her peace, to force her or kidnapped and lock her for himself. He had to destroy her fulfilled and the perfect world to keep her in his world.

But Lu Jianjun couldn't do it. He just couldn't.

Not in his wildest dream, he could think to hurt her, because that will be his worst nightmare. He wants to love her but not with the cost of her freedom. He was fine if he can't see the love in her eyes but he won't able to tolerate the hate or disgust for himself.

It's better if he stays away from her life cause she is happy without him, her life is content and her family picture is complete with her husband.

A few times he craved to see her and even convinced himself to be just friends with her. But then stopped himself to indulge into delusions. If that was so easy to just stay friends then afterward it'll be impossible to let her go. If he became greedy for her he will just end up demanding for more. If he gave in to his dėsɨrės he doesn't know what he'll do to satisfy the other craving needs. Even thinking about it makes his blood boiled. She is safe and secure being a stranger. Yes, that's the best way to keep the brute locked inside him.

Coincidently, many times their paths crossed as he walked through unfazed. Without giving her the second look which she forced him the very first time.

Because each and every possible way will only be led to her destruction just to satisfy his wish to keep her with him. Lu Jianjun can bear to be a stranger for her than being a reason for her destruction.

Five years ago, it was the time, Lu Jianjun became used to his meaningless life without her when someone violated his bottom line. He didn't know when it started. But the possessive creature inside him was awakened.

He didn't leave her for the world to destroy her.
