Chapter 71 - 71: Toxic Love
"No. I want to see it." Kelly suddenly said.
"What do you mean?" Kim Eunji asked in puzzlement.
"I want to see how you're going to punish him." Kelly requested.
"Are you insane?! It's not healthy for you!" Kim Eunji immediately denied her.
"It's not healthy for you either. And besides, I'm the victim here and also one of the main characters of this chaos. I should see how the story unfold 'till the very end." Kelly insisted. She was hoping that if she witnessed Feng Chen's end, her trauma would be gone.
"Kelly. I insist that you should stay out of this. My methods...my methods would never be pleasing." Kim Eunji was pleading her.
Kim Eunji was afraid that instead Kelly got better, she might traumatized even more.
"Please. I need this." 'To finally be in peace.' Kelly pleaded back.
Feng Chen had always been a sore spot in her life.
The evil man had carved a deep scar in Kelly's every being.
If only he did not came into her life when she was young and vulnerable. If only she was not rebellious back then.
If only she listened to Mike Roland and Kim Eunji back then, none of this would have happened.
"I think you have to talk with brother-in-law regarding this matter."
Kelly became silent.
"Does he know about your connection with him?" Kim Eunji tentatively asked her.
"No. Not yet. I thought Feng Chen would rot in jail that's why I was complacent all this time. Who would have thought that he would got out after two years of being in prison?" Kelly said.
She really had intended to tell him about this matter. But she had no time to do so. Everything happened in a blur. And she thought that bad memories would only ruin their moments.
"Kelly, you have to tell him. This is a very serious matter and he needs to know."
The door slid open revealing Mo Jing-sheng in a wheelchair with Kim Jeong Ho behind.
"What should I know?" Mo Jing-sheng immediately asked them both.
Kelly's face turned pale when she heard Mo Jing-sheng's serious voice.
"Master Mo, you're scaring her." Kim Eunji reminded him to be mindful with his actions around his wife.
Mo Jing-sheng immediately regretted how he had asked his question.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you, honey." Mo Jing-sheng apologized right away.
"Ah Jing, you're so scary. I don't like it." Kelly remarked.
Mo Jing-sheng sighed helplessly as soon as he saw tears coming from Kelly's eyes.
Kim Eunji hugged her best friend to comfort her while Mo Jing-sheng was coaxing her.
"I'm sorry, okay? I was just... there's a lot of things running in my head since yesterday." Mo Jing-sheng had tons of unanswered questions inside his head. And he was helpless as no one could answer him except his wife.
"Okay." Kelly wiped off her tears and looked at him straight in the eye. Kelly sighed.
"I'll help you sort out what was inside your head...If the matter was related to what happened yesterday, I'd answer it." Kelly said with convection.
"No. If this would only give you more strain, I'd prefer not to know." Mo Jing-sheng had thought about it countless of times last night.
Though he was so eager to know, Mo Jing-sheng rather chose to not know right now and give her time than giving her more emotional stress.
He had a hunch that his wife was somehow involved in this from the very beginning. Though he was upset that Kelly did not share this past of her to him, the important thing for Mo Jing-sheng right now was to avoid making her be stressed.
But Kelly was determined this time. Since the right moment had presented the opportunity for her to do so, she should might as well maximize it.
"No. I think I needed this. Aside from Uncledad and Kim Eunji, no one knew how I am related to Master Feng Chen of the Feng family."
Kim Eunji did not fail to show her support for Kelly by gently squeezing her hand from time to time.
"Feng Chen...he was my ex. I met him at a bar two and a half years ago. I was stubborn and naive back then. I lot to hang out with other people to feel more alive. Eunji even reprimanded me because of this habit. But I never listened to her. To cut the story short, he lured me in his trap with his sweet words and eventually we dated."
Their relationship was doing great during the first month of their relationship. However, everything changed after and the relationship that she thought was perfect, suddenly became her worst nightmare.
Feng Chen started to be violent towards her. He would vent his anger whenever he was drunk to her and then hit her. Then one time, he brought a woman to f*ck and let her witness them having s*x on their bed.
This was his form of punishment for her.
She had moved in with him after a week of being together that's why no one knew what was going on, even Kim Eunji was being kept in the dark by her.
Kelly have had enough of everything and wanted to leave him. She could no longer accept everything. Though she was a stubborn and sometimes a trouble maker, she knew she deserved better. That she didn't deserve this mistreatment from him.
She immediately brought up the topic that she would leave him because she had enough. She was no longer happy with him. However the man, Feng Chen, locked her inside his apartment because he didn't want her to leave him.
Also, he continued bringing women in their apartment whenever she made him unhappy towards her.
He indeed loved Kelly but his means were not right. He argued that those women were only his plaything. And that he only loved her.
Who would believed him though? Kelly became his prisoner. He wanted Kelly to be dependent to him. To the point that Kelly would believe that she's nothing without him.
Aside from those, she also found out that the man was heavily involved in women and child trafficking and production of illegal drugs.
She found out that he was the leader of a mafia.
Kelly attempted many times to escape. However, the latter would always caught her.
Kim Eunji did not found that something was wrong with it since she had to leave the US and travel to Japan for a project for two month.
So, for the whole two months, Kelly was living in hell.
Kim Eunji only realized something was wrong when she came back and Kelly did not even welcome her at the airport. She also could not track her phone as it was turned off.
She requested to see Feng Chen but the man refused to give her the audience.
Desperate and worried at the same time, Kim Eunji hacked every security cameras in the entire New York. She followed Feng Chen's every move. Because of this, she discovered the man's true nature. How evil his soul was.
When she finally tracked where he was staying, Kim Eunji broke in the apartment location and broke into the apartment. There, she saw Kelly in a miserable condition. She was covered with bruises as Feng Chen had enough of her.
She was badly injured that she almost die.
Kim Eunji became so angry that she wanted to kill Feng Chen. But Kelly stopped her because she's afraid that Kim Eunji might go back to being this cold blooded serial killer though it was impossible to happen since her will to leave her past was more than her will to live.
Because Kelly asked her to trust the Civil Law in punishing him, she did not place the law in her own hands.
She then anonymously tipped the authorities in the US when his group was on their biggest operation ever. He was arrested on the spot and then sentenced for lifetime imprisonment instead of death penalty.
They were so naive to believe that the law could hold back someone like Feng Chen.
While he was inside the jail, Kelly was healing both physically and emotionally.
Good thing she recovered well after a series of therapy sessions from Mike Roland.
Her life slowly turned back to normal. Kelly never thought she would fall in love again. Until she met Mo Jing-sheng.
The reason why she was not able to tell this to Mo Jing-sheng was because she was afraid that he would change how he looked at her. That Mo Jing-sheng might taught of her of someone filthy.
Well, she had just underestimated his love for her.
Feng Chen must have heard the news of Kelly's marriage and came back for revenge.
Mo Jing-sheng could not believe what he had just heard. His heart ached for his wife.
Had he known about this, he would have paid more attention to it.
"And that was how I'm connected to him." Kelly said and heaved a huge sigh. It was like a huge load was lifted off from her chest.
Mo Jing-sheng held Kelly's hand as he answered her.
"I'm sorry honey. I didn't know you have this history. Now I understand you better. This won't happen again. Okay?"
Kelly nodded her head and welcomed his warm hug.
"So, what are we going to do with the bastard?" Kim Jeong Ho asked.
"I'll kill him." Mo Jing-sheng immediately said.
"No, killing him would only give him an easy way out from all of his crimes." Kim Eunji said.
"He deserved to die!" Mo Jing-sheng was very angry.
"I agree. But simply taking his life would never be enough. Someone as evil as him should receive his due judgment." Kim Eunji casually replied.
"Don't worry, he would not last that long and he would definitely reach that moment. He'd suffer worse than death. How about that?" Kim Eunji added.
In the end, Mo Jing-sheng agreed with Kim Eunji. Kelly also asked her husband if she could watch it, too. But Kim Eunji insisted on not allowing her to witness it.
"You have to have a strong gut if you really wanted to watch it Kels. Watching me doing it might even stress you out more instead of helping yourself."
Mo Jing-sheng agreed with Kim Eunji. He didn't want to risk her and the baby's safety.
Nathan then came later that day. He learned about his wife's plan though he was reluctant to agree to it, he supported her. He trusted her judgment.
"Thank you hubby." Kim Eunji whispered in his ear. They were now on their way home. Marco was their chauffeur for today.
"You're welcome. Anything for you my love. You can do anything you want. Don't worry, I got your back." Nathan conveyed his feelings.
"So cheeky, eh?" Kim Eunji playfully nudged his side.
"Well, who would I be spoiling if not you?"
As his wife, she deserved to be spoiled by him and no one else.
Nathan hugged her tightly.
"Do you dare?" Kim Eunji taunted.
"Of course not. I love you so much that even this lifetime won't be enough to show it."
Kim Eunji only snuggled on his neck as her response.
The couple decided to leave the hospital to give Kelly and Mo Jing-sheng privacy.
Mike also arrived earlier and was now their companion. Mo Jing-sheng's parents also came later in the afternoon.
Of course they hid the fact about the main reason why they ended in that situation.
Mo Jing-sheng's father also agreed for his son's request to take a break as the CEO of the company and focused his attention to his family.
He was now in an indefinite leave.
Kim Eunji and Nathan arrived in their house and was then had their dinner.
After dinner, the couple decided to stay out for a while and had a walk till they reach the gazeebo
"So, tomorrow, I'll be meeting my in-laws?" Nathan asked Kim Eunji.
"Yes." Kim Eunji then looked at him and studied his reaction carefully.
"Why? Don't tell me you're nervous?" She teased.
"I'm not." He immediately denied it. "I was just thinking of something. Don't worry about it."
"Okay? Well, if you're thinking on how to impress them, then don't. I'll only be there because of J. That's all. The rest of them were insignificant." Kim Eunji did not really care about this family, except for J."
"Who's J?" Nathan suddenly asked.
"He's someone special." She shortly replied.
Nathan frowned when he heard her vague answer.
Kim Eunji then looked up when she felt his silence.
"Oh geez! Don't tell me you're jealous with J?"
"What if I say I am, what will you do?" Nathan said in dissatisfaction.
However Kim Eunji giggled.
"Well, you'll meet him tomorrow. You can ask him personally why he's special to me." Kim Eunji simply replied.
"Are you taunting me Missus Bai?" Nathan's tone deepened.
"I'm not. I'm simply stating the fact Mister Bai. So stop sulking. It doesn't suit you, you know." Kim Eunji said in a matter of fact tone.
"Oh? I see. Then I think you owe me two punishments now Missus Bai. I let you off last night since you're tired but now...I don't think I'll let you off." Nathan said as he slowly moved his face closer to her.
"Nathan..." Kim Eunji huskily said.
"Is your Aunt Flo still around wifey?"
"No more."
