When beautiful things disappear.....
As if it was a dream, a nightmare, Leo woke up, he looked at his watch, it was still early, he got to the kitchen took a warm water, he must have passed out from the pain, school was resuming and he had a new deal he was chasing, he was on a new cast for a new movie love birds where he would play as a business man son flang.
He touched his front head, it could be a scar. He braced out of the kitchen to his bedroom, as he laid his head he checked his phone, he had gotten missed calls from his father, maybe he had gotten the news. Although he was aware about the sabotage thing planned by shin lu but he still went on with the plan for the hood day making a mark that he was ahead of them.
He was sitting down having his morning coffe.he stepped out, as he was about to open his car, qu came, she looked as though she had been going through a lot maybe from the pregnancy, he thought to himself.
I haven't decided yet but I think I will have to keep the pregnancy. She said looking around the environ.
Leo smiled weakly but that smile meant a lot of things, to her maybe joy or whatever it maybe, she couldn't at that time fathom it.
Ignoring the voice of the lady he had gotten pregnant, Leo looked at her.
Let's stay apart for a while. He got into his car and then zoomed off.
Qu kept staring at him, wondering about alot of things.
As she boarded a cab back to the estate, alot of things braced through her, she was going to become a mother sooner than expected, can she give this baby the life he or she deserve? Or was it going to be like the whales she had seen her whole life? She couldn't even know what she was going to do or should she just kill the child and go back to living her life, pretending like nothing had happened? She got a message on her phone,she had been paid by her agency, maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea going shopping and getting over this, she told the driver to make a stop at the suite store.
She was going to get jewelry, it doesn't have to be expensive, but it should atleast take her mind even in a short while.
Leo was practicing, his role in the new movie which he stared in the love birds, a classical movie that entails love triangle, between friends and the romance from it. His fans were so keen on his roles and also his super looks, he isn't the type that play with his facials. He did whatever to look super charming and he is a fashion icon. The new movie starred mia, an actress with alot of fashion sense, although the age cap between her and Leo was no small difference, one will say if she had a younger brother, he and Leo should be around the same age. Having risen to game for her extreme looks and her fashion sense, mia hated the spotlight, she once admitted during a movie primer to be Inlove with the movie star Leo but had said it would not affect her work for her up coming movie love birds with him. Although there had been rumour of her and the sing for China star yi dating but it was never clarified.
Mia, a soft spoken actress with no controversies and no hate even in the entertainment world, stepped out from a her agency car, as she step down, she saw Leo, she remembered how mian had once flaunt the news of their dating on her face couple of years ago and how she carried herself even during shows, she however once envied their relationship and wondered what might have happened that their relationship went bad.
As she came forward, Leo smiled at her, she wondered how she was going to control her self especially the scenes but she remembered how much her agency and the producers had invested in it.
Hi! She said looking at his shirt.
Hello mia, we meet again, you look....
Older? She said smiling a bit.
I was going to say beautiful! Leo said smiling back at her.
Thank you.
It was a long day, from cast, the director had to make the storyline interesting enough. It was time for them to rest.
Leo came close to his car with a bottle of water, he noticed a man from afar starring, as he came closer to him, he could recognize him, it was detective Kai.
You didn't tell me you are free. Leo said.
Did you know that a gang had a meeting yesterday, and they escaped? Detective Kai said.
No I don't! I'm not a police officer. Leo said.
The hood day, what is it about? Kai said.
You mean neighborhood? What's a hood day.
I don't know.
I don't know as well.
Do you think that because your father is the minister of justice now, you can do whatever you like?
Mr Kai....
It is detective Kai.
Whatever you choose to call yourself, when you have enough evidence come to me else don't stress me.
Where were you between the hours of eight yesterday?
At the hospital. Wej university hospital. You can look into the hospital file if you don't believe me.
Why were you at the hospital?
I hit my head at home so I went to the hospital. Leo smiled. Have a great day officer detective. He walked out on him.
Qu was at the suite store, starring at the bracelet, necklaces and wondering how they would look on her, she heard a voice behind her, they will look good on you, whatever you decide to wear qu. As look at his face, it was min. She couldn't believe it, she thought he had gone to the states, min took a closer look at her, you look pretty, qu blushed, he was even more handsome now that he has grown.
What.... What are you doing here? She stammered.
It's a store, I came to get jewelry.

Min laughed Soo hard , no, for myself, I don't have a girlfriend, I am more focused on studies.
Oh okay.

Okay.
They exchange contact and he left.
Qu was at her house, she had returned from all the shopping she was doing, suddenly her phone rang, it was min, he asked her if she had gotten home and she replied, he even asked her to come have dinner with him the next day and he would send her the address.
She got dressed the next day, it was about 4:30, her dinner date with min, she got to the eatery, there was a reserve table for them, she waited for thirty minutes before min arrived.
He apologies saying. He was caught up in something. Qu asked about. His school and he responded that something happened and he was fixing it before going back, he placed an order for them, just then Leo walked in, looking all jealous, min recognized him, being a fan, and asked him what he was doing there, he even took photos with him, happy to meet a celebrity.
I am here to see my girlfriend. Leo announced looking at his girlfriend.
Woa! Your girlfriend is in such a place, she must really be lucky. Min said.
Did you hear that ? She must really be lucky. Leo said looking at her. She felt irritated by his pride.
Do you know her?
Yes she's my fr...mm
Ex boyfriend. She said winking at min.

Yes, ex boyfriend. Min who was shocked said.
Seem like you know her. Min said to Leo.

Bos.... Boss??? Leo asked her. I'm her boyfriend, like her recent boyfriend,! Leo said pushing her seat closer to him.
Wow! I didn't know you have a boyfriend now. Min said
Yes she does. Leo responded taking a sip of their water.
Woa! That's big. Min said.
I want to go to the rest room,qu said leaving them behind.
Leo kept on starring at min who could not stop complimenting him. He however Stated that qu was his girl, asking min if he had an eye for her? He responded that he liked him. Leo smiled telling him that she was his.
Min left Leo and told him to extend his regards to her that they would talk on WeChat.
WeChat? So they already exchanged contact?
Just then qu came out asking about min.
So you have his number? Why?
Because he's my friend Leo! I wonder what you are doing here.

You wanted us to be apart.
I don't want us to be apart girl .... You are carrying my child, you are my theory, my girlfriend, is not like I'm jealous or anything.
Leo said.
And yet you are here interrupting my date.
Your date! Your date? I am your guy, your love. Okay, I have been..... You know what? I am coming to pick you tomorrow! Morning get ready! Jezzzz. Leo said leaving.
Who does he think he is?
Detective Kai, I am so sorry for keeping you waiting, I had a lot on my shirt. It was Mr lu, the chairman of the shin family, the senior member of the shin lu group. Despite his age, shin lu had a great amount of working hours in his company, his son, shin lu junior couldn't go on with his minister campaign because of the alligation.
It's okay, detective Kai said, smiling.although we haven't been able to get any evidence linking to Mr Chen, as all evidence was clean, he was indeed at the University hospital, there were cctv footage of him leaving the hospital. He said.
That rascal! Mr lu said.
It seem like he knew about our plan.
What about the substance. Mr lu asked.
It's a new substance. Kai said taking his leave.
Leo was already waiting for qu outside her house, he sent her a message, qu rushed outside forgetting that she was still in her nighties. Leo teased her asking if she was too eager to see him that she forgot what she was putting on, she rushed back inside had her bath and came out asking leo wgere they were heading to,he cast a gaze at her. They arrived, she came down, it was their acting site, why did he bring her there, she mubbled to herself.
It was mia, she recognized her, the actress with a pure sense, she had always admired mia pure fashion sense and how she carried herself despite being a charming actress, but what exactly was she doing there.
They started their acting for the day, the scene entails Leo and mia kissing. Leo looked at qu and smiled, he knew why he invited her over.
The kiss was Soo deep that mia started feeling it in her body. Qu tried to control herself, she asked the director when it was going to end. After the scene qu left! Leo chase after her asking her if she was jealous, she responded that she hated the way he kissed her, he smiled! Even as she walked out.
Qu was sitting down close to the suite store when she saw a car close to her, it was Leo.
Why are you here, you should keep kissing her.
Leo smiled walking close to her, I didn't know it will make you upset. I'm sorry.
I am carrying your child, yet she's the one you are kissing, am I not enough for you?
You are more than enough for me, it's just acting. I didn't kiss her, it wasn't me, It was just act.
Act? You were lock on lips, Leo, I saw it.... I saw it with my two eyes. She said.
Leo kissed her, it was deep. Was that enough? I am yours, no one else, okay?
They hugged!
They got into the car and left.
When they arrived, she was already asleep, he gently took her to his room. They spent the night together. By the time he woke up, she already was gone. He got dressed, he came down for a drink and Ning came up to him.
Sir, we have followed her, mian is working for her father, he is trying to steal the hood, he is trying to know Mr park and bypass to get to be his underlining.
That ungrateful bitch. Leo said . And the detective? He further asked.
He is working with flang but on a deguise for working for shin. Sir what should we do?
No! I love to see them try. Here take this premium black card and give it to qu. It's for the baby.leo said.
Get everything ready Ning, everything including the tower today. The hood doctor, keep an eye on the sleigh, and yh, do not let anyone notice, read the menu I sent you.
Okay sir!
Suddenly his phone rang, apparently, qu had been kidnapped, Leo was sent the address and asked to come alone. Leo wispered to Ning and then left.
He arrived at a place, walk into the park and saw qu blindfolded with a man in mask.
Let her go. Leo said walking closer.
Stop right there, who are you to give me orders, the man said pulling a gun at qu.
A real man doesn't need a third party, I know it's you an, let her go.
Do you think you are so powerful, ranging in here. The man ask
Leo could feel some men walking behind him, he allowed them come close, then he pushed one against the wall, brought out a knife and stab him, he kept fighting them till they were all dead!
This is all you got? He said panting heavily.
Suddenly a substance was released and it was choking, Leo and the man kept dragging the gun and qu was shot in the arm, Leo grabbed her arm, and started to run even with the substance. He removed her blind fold. Qu was losing blood. She wanted to faint at the site of blood even from her own arm. As they came outside, she could see an helicopter flying over them, someon pulled a gun out of the helicopter and targeted it at her, she was starring at her wounded arm, Leo saw it, he immediately hugged her blocking her, the bullet penetrated through his back, the helicopter left, Leo fell down, qu tried to hold on, he was murmuring I love you. as she fell to the ground, she grunted, all she could hear was sirens, upon sirens. She shut her eyes.
When she opened her eyes, the first thing she gazed upon was emergency, was she in heaven or heal, she could perceive the thick smell of drugs, was there hospitals in hell or maybe she was dreaming or in heaven, she manage to fully open her eyes and the first thing she fully saw was the cannula on her arm, the plaster, the drip line. She looked at the whole place, she was in an hospital. She quickly placed arms on her stomach, the baby is safe. A feminine voice said. It was the doctor. She remembered Leo. She removed her cannula, what about the man that was with me. She rushed out with the doctor following her, as she came outside, she saw some doctors rolling someone, fully covered, possibly dead, she saw Ning close to them. She rushed to where they are, stopping them and open the cloth, it was Leo. He was dead! She could feel streams falling down her cheeks with no restrictions. Wang came in running to her, only to found Leo there. She hugged her friend.
She was discharged but the world felt silent to her, she was going to be a single mother at her age, with a bedridden mother, what worse could happen. Leo funeral. She got there, saw chen chan, he looked at her like he had a lot to say, she paid her respect, she couldn't believe that he was no more. As she looked at the man she ever loved in a place she wish he wasn't. She saw flang coming out of the car, he was mian father, an, the man that had met her once was with him too. Mr Chen told her to go home, and as Mr flang and Chen bowed, an paid his respect and they all step aside to discuss.
It was late at night, she looked at her mum, she looked at the floor, she wanted to jump and kill herself, suddenly a hand grabbed her pulling her up.
Leave me! Leave me!! I can't, I can't. I love him.
Ms, I don't know how much you might have loved him but he gave his life so you could live, if you die now, wouldn't it be a waste? It was Ning.
He hugged her tightly and she wept.
Ning had stayed with her all through the night. She woke up and saw him, he apologize to her and gave her a premium black card which Leo had given him telling her that the last thing Leo would wand is to see her get hurt. He left.
The members of the entire hood were gathered with the surprising news of Leo demise. Leo had been in the hood before I gave birth to my daughter, one of the members said.
Today we are gathered here, to talk about who to succeed from Leo, as a park cover-up. We can't sor forever. Leo carried a charisma that gave the fierce look but we lost him to God knows who and now, I will suggest we vote for whom continue in that patg and I suggest an! An has been in the hood far too long and he just got out of jail not too long. Please welcome an, my nephew. Mr flang said as an came on stage. There was a loud applaud.
Hello everyone. Mr name is an.
Just then Ning walked in.
Who are you to detect the new cover up for the parks? You are mere dealer, stick to who you are.
And look at this kid, with no regards for people old enough to be his father. One man said.
If you're old enough to be my father, you should have been.
You walk in here, like you owe this place. Do you think you are one of us? You are a boy who just lost his boss go suck on your thumb. Mr flang said.
I didn't believe fools grow old, till I met you Mr flang. For Christ sake, Leo just died and all you are interested in is the coverup? anyways, this is the scroll from the parks, I am the successor! Ning said.
The successor? What do you know? You are just a boy! Lu said.
You know what this scroll represent. I have seen park! And you will not question it. Ning said walking away.
That boy, has a bit of an attitude. Mr flang said.
Isn't he the kid who lost his parent to the fire incident? Mr flang asked .
Yes! That's true. He has grown wings. Mr lu said.
I wonder who park is and how he got into everybody head. But whoever he is, in going to find out. Mr flang said.
