RINA LORRIE was the only daughter born of a rich traditional Japanese household, owning a 5-star hotel in Japan. Served with the best of things since birth, she was used to getting things her way, neglecting the morality of her actions. Even when she broke up with her 6 years old relationship and fiance, she was able to completely save herself from the troubles that came with it.

Nobody criticized her, but the innocent fiance instead; blaming him for not being adequate enough for the princess. This also made it impossible for him to be hired by other companies afterwards.

Whenever she had friends taking privileges at her family's hotel, no complaints from their actions were resolved, buried to be forgotten instead. Even then, their hotel was one of the best due to the services offered.

If she liked something, nobody else can have it. This was the case with her cousin who liked a particular branded apparel that were the only set made in the whole world. She knew her cousin desperately wanted it for her debut, but the spoiled and selfish Rina Lorrie came to like it too. Her cousin had no chance at all. The poor cousin was so heartbroken that she cried for a night and didn't bother to get out of her bedroom until 2 days later. However, her parents couldn't do anything against the princess of Lorrie household.

In many of Rina Lorrie's encounters, people could only say 'suck it up' once she set her mind to get something or flaunt herself.

So when this princess that has been spoiled rotten met the Emperor of D City, who had the qualities of an ideal powerful man, she completely fell head over heels in love. And that was when she was only 15 years old, while he was 16.

10 years later, she still couldn't approach him even after stalking him for so long. From living to the same city, living at the same street, attending all his seminars, sponsoring his projects, investing on his corporations and collecting articles wherever he was featured, she'd done them all.

After everything she had done, she completely believed that she was the one for him. And she'd had this mindset after learning everything about him. From his favorite food, color, clothes, hobbies and etc. She was worse than most self-claimed stalkers.

She had even attended almost all parties Fei Long had to attend, but his electric blue eyes never fell on her. He was always stoic, indifferent and quiet. At most he would speak to someone in a few words, and the other would be lucky enough if he spoke with 10 words. But these aloof qualities of him were mesmerizing to her, and made her want him even more.

She had asked her friends to help her out, to catch his attention, to finally be able to show him that she was the ideal woman he can marry and have children with, but having seen his softer side being with his wife, her heart broke.

However, she didn't want to give up. 10 years of fostered feelings were not easy for her to let go, and here she was, walking towards the man she'd always loved and thought of. Even if he never had any thoughts of her, she still wanted to prove to everyone that she was the one! She had done everything to make herself perfect for him! She had to be the one!

Lorrie's eyes blazed at the sight of Fei Long taking care of Feng Mian like she was some fragile glass. She wanted to tear the happy family image apart, and she intended to.

"Excuse me, Emperor and Empress. Could I please have a moment of Emperor's time?" She respectfully said but her eyes never drifted towards Feng Mian. She only had him in her lovestruck eyes, unable to pull away the attraction since the first time she met him. His eyes were a pair of electric blue, able to make her heartbeat go crazy while his smile can make her world spin around.

"Why?" Fei Long did not turn to her, merely asking a simple question. However, this was enough to make Lorrie agitated. He should look at her and flash her his beautiful smile!! Look at her lovingly, because she was the person meant for him!

"Emperor, my father and the families of Craine, Cain and Cane would like to speak with you concerning SpaceX."

Fei Long glanced at Feng Mian, his eyes obviously threatening to cry, not wanting to go.

Feng Mian softly chuckled at his expression and unable to stop herself from kissing his lips, deeply and lovingly. Ignoring Lorrie altogether, Feng Mian wrapped her arms around Fei Long's neck, while he gently caressed her pregnant waist.

She stopped kissing him and whispered, "Do you really not want to go?" Although she looked stern, Fei Long knew she was being playful. So he said, "Don't want to go..." As if begging for her to keep him.

He made her chuckle once again, earning him a smooch as a reward. "How much do you love me again?" Her bright eyes burned him, like she was some passion fruit.

He nuzzled his nose over her nose and softly whispered, "More than I've ever loved anyone in this world. My heart beats because of you and my life only means us. Without you, I will not live... Not anymore... Mian..." His electric blue eyes turned glossy with tears, his confession brought pain in his heart. Everytime he expresses his love for her, it was overwhelming enough for him to cry. He never knew he was such a weak man, but before his wife, it was fine. She was his only weakness, until their child was born.

They exchanged hot breathe before he capture her lips, their eyelids fluttered to a close, savoring their kisses more intently. She moaned as he deepened their kiss, his tongue going inside her mouth. He was eating her mouth like a hungry man, completely forgetting about a certain Lorrie.

Feng Mian made sure to kiss back, equally sweet. Her hand grabbed a bunch of his hair and caressed his head as their lips remained clashing with thirst. The crowd tried to avert their sight away from the powerful but loving couple, blush creeping onto their cheeks.

They were every bit a loving couple, inseparable and not afraid to show it to the world.

Lorrie couldn't stand it anymore when she was kept waiting for a whole 5 minutes!! Not only that, but made her see the things she wanted to do the most, with Fei Long! She was supposed to be the wife he should be kissing with, cuddling with and pregnant with his child. Her eyes grew bloodshot from rage, her jealousy overtaking her rationality.

"SHAMELESS!!" She shrieked, calling forth the crowd's attention.

"This is doomed. Grab Lorrie away!" The brunette ordered through the phone as she hastily ran to reach Lorrie.

But with Feng Mian's one wave of her hand, a wall of men in black suit arrived, circling around them and blocking anyone who would interfere. Then her alluring but cold voice said, "Shameless, you say?"

Lorrie was angry. After all the effort she put to ignore Feng Mian's existence, she couldn't help but turn to glare at Feng Mian, grinding her teeth inside her enclosed mouth. Her knuckles had turned white from clenching too much. "You thief!"

"Care to tell what else you have in your vocabulary, Ms Rina Lorrie?"

Fei Long was quiet, despite being the man in between. He behaved himself as his wife entertained herself. He could have thrown Lorrie out of the venue and ban her from coming to D City ever again, but he also understood that by only doing such things, it would be too lenient.

Out of them husband and wife, Feng Mian was always the vicious one. Her targets would eventually find themselves living in purgatory, wishing to die instead.

He took her free hand and played with it as she continued to coldly stare at Lorrie.

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

Her hand was soft and in the next moment, he was simply transfixed with stroking and rubbing her hand instead of watching the entertainment.

Feng Mian gave her husband a side glance and shrugged. She couldn't quite understand where the stoic boss she worked with 6 years ago, leaving her with a sticky sweet doting husband instead. She had no complaints, however.

Lorrie felt belittled under Feng Mian's gaze, but instead of feeling fear, she glared back with so much hatred as if Feng Mian killed her mother and father. Her mouth opened and closed to say something only to realize she would be embarrassing herself further in front of Fei Long if she let herself be taunted. Hence, she clumped her lips together and kept her rage in control.

"You have my sincerest apologies, Empress and Emperor. I was merely reminded of an outrageous memory that made my emotions wild. It was not my intention to show such an outlandish behavior in front of you, and certainly not while you were in the middle of an harmonious moment." Lorrie bent her back to bow despite her shoulders shaking in restrained frustration. "Please forgive me." Her voice was not sincere, but bowing was enough proof she had momentarily discarded her pride.

However, Feng Mian would not be Feng Mian if she would let a fly escape without a bite.

"Who cares... Speaking of which, Rina Lorrie. You are at the age where one must get married. Have you found a candidate to be your husband for life? Surely with your Lorrie Hotel, there's bound to be a long line of suitors." Feng Mian's voice was languid, almost indifferent but the topic was Lorrie's sore spot.

Her parents have been pushing her to choose from the bachelors in their list despite knowing her long-term crush on Fei Long. They were getting on in years and cannot be patient enough to have their only daughter remain single. They've become even more desperate after Feng Mian and Fei Long's matrimony.

Lorrie bit the skin inside her mouth in agitation, her heart growing cold. She was beginning to not only hate Feng Mian for the fact of being Fei Long's wife, but also for what she was!

"I already have someone I like, but cannot be with him yet." This was the most blatant admittance of her feelings to Fei Long, and everyone in the venue knew of this. They immediately turned towards Feng Mian's face only to feel disappointed for there was no change.

"He must be one hell of a lucky man to have your love, Rina Lorrie. Being young, beautiful, rich and a unique character, your husband-to-be will surely not be bored."

In all four characteristics mentioned, all were applicable to Feng Mian and even superior almost to all. Except, everyone also knew how unique of a character Lorrie was. She was known to be the lofty princess from Japan and even brought the same attitude in D City where she did not belong. Truly a scathing remark from the Empress. Lorrie's husband-to-be would indeed not be bored with his days filled mostly of troubles.

Lorrie blushed, understanding Feng Mian's sarcasm. For indeed, Feng Mian was far more beautiful, far richer, much younger and even a rare woman only found in centuries. She was the first woman who ruled the business world and the first woman who slapped the stereotypic of a world dominated by men. She can dominate her husband, business and as much as everything else men were capable of dominating. She was definitely a powerful entity, and nothing compared to someone like Lorrie who merely finished an average degree in University, and does not even have a job even after graduating for almost 5 years now.

She bit her lower lip in frustration, her eyes burning with so much anger from the humiliation. Her clenched hands were trembling with restrained emotions. She was about to blow her top. Feng Mian was clearly provoking her!

Whispers spread amongst the crowd, for Feng Mian's voice seemed even louder amidst the drop-dead silence in the venue. Not a peep could be heard before the mass of whispers.

"Didn't her father told us in the committee the last month that her daughter was ready to get to know another man? Why does it seem like she is still hang up with the Emperor?"

"Cut the crap. Who can just let go of a 10 years old crush?"

"Heard she is obsessed with him. My daughter kept telling me about Ms Lorrie's misadventures in the previous Liu Corporation. Apparently, she was a frequent visitor in the cafeteria that even the guards had stopped asking for her identity card."

"Funny how a rich lady can act so desperate. Understandable though, the Emperor is just the pinnacle of men in D City, if not the whole business world."

"I'm sorry for myself, because even my wife is his rabid fan... Just before my daughter..."

Although the whispers were soft, they spread like wildfire and it became obvious that Lorrie was trying to intimidate the Empress due to her obsessive love to Fei Long. The typical trope of a woman in love to a married husband who thought she was great enough to seduce someone of a higher status than her. And even neglecting the fact that the man had never paid her any attention at all. She was a woman every wives despised.

"I... Don't belittle my feelings! I love him genuinely and worked hard to become the woman that can be compatible with him. Do not disregard my love..." Lorrie softly confessed, hurt by everyone's judgement and critical impressions.

A wife in the crowd gripped her arm as she glared at Lorrie. She was one of SpaceX sponsors, and only came with her husband in order to meet the Empress and the Emperor who rarely attended public gatherings. Who would have thought she would encounter someone who was as shameless as Lorrie, someone who didn't think loving a married man was not wrong. Someone who still confessed in front of the wife of her feelings to her husband.

Simply preposterous!

"You should have stopped your feelings from the moment you learnt about his relationship with the Empress! Everyone knew they were dating for a few years before getting married! And now you have the nerve to try and break their matrimony?! What gave you the right, Ms Lorrie?!" She was seething mad just imagining a young lady trying to do the same to her husband. She loved her husband dearly and although he was busy, he would try to come home as often to spend time with her. But if perchance, one day, he would be too tired with such a lifestyle and someone younger and delectable would tempt him onto her bed... Her heart burned with madness!

Other wives also empathized. Some of them have had similar situations, because many ambitious women out there would do anything to gain a little footing. Some even men.

In a moment, Lorrie was the target of scrutiny. It was fine when she was silently in love, but not act upon it!

Feng Mian languidly sat on her soft chair with Fei Long attempting to massage her shoulders that had begun to sore from her 8 months pregnancy.

Lorrie's eyes blazed even further, her face turning from white to red. "...Master Fei Long..." She looked at him pleadingly, hoping that he would help her just from the fact she was devoted to him.

But Fei Long was not the type to take any more chances. He'd learnt from a certain bitch and even more with Feng Mian's attitude with people that giving false hope, even a little, can cause detrimental losses. And he cannot afford anymore loss.

He was about to issue a command for someone to drag Lorrie out when a few madams were feeling overwhelmed by their imaginations.

Their husbands tried to hold them back, but after the wives banded, they were even more hyped. It was not only about them, but also the Empress. The Emperor obviously doted on her, so they felt obligated to protect the two from a little witch!

Afterwards, the men in black couldn't hold the fort for long and a couple of wives managed to get through the barricade.

Lorrie's friends also joined in, while their date merely stepped aside to get their hands off the commotion. Balthazar merely agreed to see the older 'sister' of Ying Yue who supposedly ruined everyone in the Zhao household. Although it was unfortunate that Ying Yue's mother escaped.

Meanwhile, Mo Chou Huang was still heartbroken and thought of accepting any women to mend his heart. Only, after seeing Feng Mian, his feelings became complicated. There really was no truth to what Ying Yue had said before. How can a woman rape another woman? Obviously, Feng Mian was not that sort of person, especially having married to Fei Long; the most difficult man in D City.

As some joined in the fray, others laid their back and watched. It was supposed to be the founding day of SpaceX, but Lorrie successfully acted out a drama as if she was Juliet and Fei Long was Romeo. Only, she was delusional enough to believe that the man she loved would actually pay her any heed.

Soon, Lorrie was on the floor, her face slapped side to side by a wife and another wife pinched her side. "Keep your heart if you must! Do not ruin other people's marriage!"

"That's right, that's right! You are such a wench! How dare you try steal our Empress' man?!" Although something was wrong with her sentence, for sounding like an avid fan of Feng Mian, nobody seemed to have noticed.

"That seductive face of yours caked with make-up... You must not continue down a mistress' road! If you think the Emperor is so low as to break up with the Empress for someone like you, then have your head checked!!"

They were hyped, as if they were Feng Mian who had their Fei Long flirted with. Their faces were red in anger, their mouth gritted in frustration at seeing someone like Lorrie. A person must maintain their decency!

A few more wives joined the fray, while Lorrie's friends finally came to her rescue. It was a complete mess that eventually, a few portion found the whole scenario amusing. After all, the Empress who was supposed to be the victim can be seen being fed with fruits by the Emperor personally. Her frost-cold eyes dancing with merriment.

The ruckus grew so wild that others have begun rolling on the floor, their clothes and hair disheveled. They looked more like kindergarteners than adults and that made Feng Mian laughed.

Her crisp laughter became more pronounced attracting heads her way, but after a while, she felt her stomach contract and her water broke. She was going into labour!

"Fuck, Fei Long! Get me to the hospital, hurry!" Fei Long paled when he saw the puddle of water, and only recovered himself when Feng Mian was slapping his cheek over and over.

"Hospital, hurry!!" She repeated, struggling to stand up herself.

Dean and Denise immediately controlled the venue and stopped the cat fight, bidding everyone goodbye for the night. The SpaceX founding day celebration was abruptly stopped by Feng Mian's early delivery.

Shi Bai hastened to follow after Feng Mian to be her moral support. Arata Ito followed after her, making sure he didn't forget the candid pictures that had been taken. After all, Shi Bai would be happy to know they were not forgotten amidst the commotion.

Next moment, Feng Mian was feeling the pain from the contractions on a hospital bed with Fei Long by her side. He was completely panicked seeing her in agony. He felt like he was having contractions himself.
