My Killing President

After the dinner, the couple went home.

Although Annabelle Xia hadn't been drinking much, her cheeks were blushed. As her long eyelashes swept low, she looked alluring. However, there was a hidden air of melancholy in her seductiveness. When Alistair Mu saw that, he felt heavy hearted. However, he hid his emotion deep in his heart.

After they parked in their house, Alistair Mu carried her upstairs.

He lowered her on the bed and wanted to get away to bring her a towel. However, Annabelle Xia grabbed him suddenly.

"Alistair..."

Alistair Mu turned his head back and looked at her. His well-tanned skin had a light tone of blush. The man had been drinking quite a lot.

"Accompany me for a while!"

"Let me go get you a towel." Alistair Mu said gently.

Annabelle Xia let him go and the man went into the bathroom. After sometime, he came out holding a white towel.

There was only the warm bedside lamp on and the room was painted a warm golden hue. Alistair Mu came out with a warm, wet towel and he wiped Annabelle Xia.

The couple looked at each other and he felt as if it had been a century since they spend time together.

When Alistair Mu was wiping her body, Annabelle Xia caught his arms.

"What's the matter?" Alistair Mu looked at her.

The next second, Annabelle Xia stretched out her arms suddenly and wrapped around Alistair Mu's neck. After staring in his eyes for a few seconds, she moved closer and kissed his lips... Alistair Mu had never been able to resist when Annabelle Xia takes the initiatives.

Even right now, even as he knew what she wanted to say... He just couldn't resist her.

In just three seconds, Alistair Mu grabbed the back of her head and kissed her back even more passionately...

Annabelle Xia lied back on the bed while Alistair Mu continued to kiss every inch of her body. The man was releasing his passion and impulses...

Under the warm, subtle lights, the couple in the bed made love to each other and conveyed their emotion and love.

About one hour later.

Alistair Mu lied on the bed and hugged Annabelle Xia. The man was breathing a little heavily.

Annabelle Xia looked somewhat exhausted as well. There was a mist of sweat on her forehead but she looked even more inviting.

The both of them didn't say anything and only the sound of breaths were heard that.

Finally, Annabelle Xia broke the silence as she raised her head and looked at Alistair Mu, "Alistair, I have something to tell you..."

Alistair Mu's body tensed up and he looked back at Annabelle Xia.

The woman wrapped her arms around Alistair Mu's waist. After contemplating for a while, she said, "Actually, you must know what I want to say already..." Annabelle Xia muttered silently.

All night long, she had been trying and thinking hard as how she should approach Alistair Mu. And now, she knew that she must say it already, "I know that my brother was the one that wronged you. But..." Annabelle Xia stared appealingly and pleadingly at Alistair Mu, "Can you let him go?"

In the end, Annabelle Xia said it...

Alistair Mu looked at her shimmering eyes and he just didn't know what to say.

If Ralphy Xia had only done just the incriminating case of the raw materials with radiation, he would have just swallowed it and give up revenge for Annabelle Xia.

But after that he continued to cause trouble for his company, accusing them for tax fraud while collecting their company's shares while the share prices plummeted... It was obvious that Ralphy Xia was overly ambitious and he wasn't just targeting Alistair Mu, but the entire Yun Rui!

Because of that, Alistair Mu had no choice but to retaliate.

Yun Rui was his blood and sweat for the past two years. He could give up Yun Rui for Annabelle Xia but he was shouldering the livelihood of thousands of employees of the company. If Ralphy Xia succeeded, what would happen to them?

If it wasn't for at Ralphy Xia going too far and too wicked, he wouldn't end up like that.

When Annabelle Xia saw that Alistair Mu remained silent, she said no more.

Because she knew that Alistair Mu heard her very clearly. And the man understood her perfectly.

If he wanted to say something, he would definitely tell her. If he didn't want to and she continued to ask, it would just make their relationship worthless...

Time passed slowly and Annabelle Xia stared intently at Alistair Mu, hoping that he would give her an answer. But in the end, Alistair Mu simply said, "It's pretty late now, rest earlier!"

"I still have something to handle. I will be going to the study room!" After saying that, Alistair Mu got down the bed, got dressed and left the room.

Annabelle Xia looked at him and said no more. She did not cry nor beg the man. Because she knew that if she had done it, their relationship would be nothing but a joke.

Alistair Mu left the room and closed the door gently.

It was a deafening silence in the room. So quiet that only Annabelle Xia's breathing was heard.

She lied in the bed where the bed sheets were filled with their scent. It was already midnight and she would normally fall asleep during this hour. But now, she wasn't sleepy at all.

The moonlight was gentle and light, but Annabelle Xia's heart was burdened and heavy.

Did... She made a mistake?

Yes, she did!

But even if she knew that she was wrong, she had no choice but to do it.

It didn't matter if she was the real daughter of the Xia family or not, she had no choice but to do it. Even if they didn't treat her like their own daughter, she was compelled to do it to repay their grace... But why had life made such a hurtful joke?

She thought she was starting a brand-new chapter with Alistair Mu in life. But it turned out otherwise.

It was obvious that the man felt that tension when they were together as well. They didn't have the joy and laughter from old times and only guilt and pressure were left...

She did not question Alistair's sincerity, just like how Alistair Mu did not question her genuineness in the relationship.

However, with what happened, they just couldn't pretend that nothing ever happened.

The woman hoped so much that none of that ever happened.

If things could be even a little bit different, they wouldn't need to end up like that.

However, the truth wouldn't change.

What happened had happened. No matter how she dreaded and escaped, she must face the truth...

Ever since that day, Alistair Mu disappeared.

He didn't come home for two days and he didn't appear in front of Annabelle Xia as well.

That two days felt as long as a century.

The woman simply went downstairs to eat and got back into her room. She did not go to the Xia house anymore, nor did she ask about Ralphy Xia's updates.

The woman seemed to know what she needed to do. Yet at the same time, she didn't know what to do.

One day, Teneria Xia made a sudden call, "Annabelle, your brother can be bailed after a few days. As for what will happen, it depends on the investigation later!" Annabelle Xia held her phone and smiled, "Really? That is just great!"

"You... Don't you want to see your brother?"

"No, I will be busy these few days!"

"All right then!"

And they hung up the phone.

Everything seemed to change.

Annabelle Xia looked at her phone and didn't know what to say. But she felt that she was suffocating.

Another night passed.

Alistair Mu didn't come home as well. Annabelle Xia sat on Alistair Mu's study room's desk and she was writing something.

After writing for some time, she looked at her letter and smiled.

The woman looked at the watch on her hand heavy heartedly for a long time. In the end, she removed it and put it on top of the letter.

In the bedroom.

That night, Annabelle Xia didn't sleep and she sat on her bed and looked outside. No one knew what she was thinking. But she was smiling faintly until very late in the night...

......

Annabelle Xia disappeared.

Alistair Mu found out about it two days later when he saw the letter she left on his desk.

The man lost his mind!

He went crazy to look for Annabelle Xia.

However, the woman simply disappeared into thin air and there was just no way to look for her.

The man tried everything he could but he just couldn't get any news on Annabelle Xia.

In the room.

Alistair Mu swept everything on his desk to the floor and the room was in a mess.

His hair was in a mess as well and his face was pale white and lifeless. He had untended facial hair and his eyes were bloodshot red. The man was filled with an air of despair.

When Jerry Kuang looked at him, he was just pained, "Alistair, you need to calm down!"

The man simply grab hold of his hair in anguish and shook his head, "She is gone... She is gone now, and I just can't find her. What should I do..."

"Maybe she was just out for abit to have a change of mood and will be back soon. Don't be so worried!" Sean comforted him as well.

Alistair Mu shook his head helplessly, "No, she won't be coming back anymore..." His eyes reddened, "How can I not worry? She is still pregnant. She must be devastated when she left..." Alistair Mu said as he looked at the watch in his hand. As long as she had that with her, he would be able to find her. But she purposely left it behind.

She didn't want him to find her anymore!

Annabelle Xia, how can you do this to me!!???

Alistair Mu screamed in his heart.

Jerry Kuang had never seen Alistair Mu acted this way. The man was beside himself and he was no longer the same man.

Love can be the most horrid torment at times...

"Are you telling me you are giving up? I don't believe Annabelle Xia wants to leave you!" Jerry Kuang said with a solemn face. The playboy-like man showed the most serious side of him.

"Yes, I have already dispatched my men to look for her. Believe in us, we will definitely find her!" Thomas Mo said from the side as well.

"Two days had passed and we still didn't get any news..." Alistair Mu shook his head. He didn't dare to even think about it...

...the idea that he would never find Annabelle Xia again.
