Chapter 17 - ​A Soul Under Attack :

Her thoughts pulled her into silence inside her mind the same questions echoed over and over. 

"What was all that? He didn't seem like an ordinary human at all. How did he vanish so quickly… and how did he know my name?"

Fear surged through Sheyaan as she held her chest her heart hammering as if it would tear it self free

the flashback of that terrifying moment left her forzen trembling in silence.

Just then, the door of the room opened and Fangxi walked in.

Fangxi was in a completely cheerful mood. Smiling brightly, he said,

"Sheyaan, look! I brought your favourite food."

But the moment his eyes fell on Sheyaan's face, his smile slowly faded. With concern in his voice, he asked,

"Sheyaan… what's wrong? Why do you look so scared?"

Sheyaan hesitated. In a trembling voice, she said,

"He… he… someone… came here…"

Fangxi quickly placed the food down and asked in shock,

"Who was here?"

Sheyaan paused, then suddenly composed herself and said,

"Hmm… no... one. Maybe it was just my imagination."

Fangxi let out a relieved breath and said with a soft smile,

"Yeah, it must have been your imagination. Come on, stop thinking and start eating."

Sheyaan nodded lightly and said,

"Yes, I'm really hungry, Fangxi."

After that, Fangxi and Sheyaan quietly began eating together.

While eating, Fangxi looked at Sheyaan and asked in a soft yet slightly serious voice,

"Sheyaan, do you want to continue your studies? You were in a coma for so many years, so your education couldn't be completed. Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Hearing this, Sheyaan lifted her gaze and looked at Fangxi. In a gentle but slightly sad voice, she said,

"I don't know… I don't understand how I'll manage my studies from now on."

Fangxi encouraged her and replied. 

"Sheyaan, don't worry. I'm here. If you say 'yes' to studying further, I'll get you admitted to a big university.

I'll also arrange extra classes for you so that you can understand every subject properly."

Feeling a little sad, Sheyaan asked,

"But… will you also go to university with me to study?"

Fangxi looked at her, paused for a moment, and said in a soft voice,

"Sorry, Sheyaan… I can't go with you to study anymore."

Sheyaan asked in surprise, quickly,

"But why?"

Fangxi let out a deep breath and looked into Sheyaan's eyes as he said,

"Because… I've become a CEO now."

Sheyaan looked at Fangxi with wide, surprised eyes and asked,

"What? Which company are you the CEO of?"

In a slightly heavy voice, Fangxi replied,

"I am the CEO of ZXMG Company."

Sheyaan was completely stunned. She quickly asked,

"But if you are the CEO of ZXMG Company, then what about Uncle? He was the CEO of ZXMG, wasn't he?"

Hearing this, Fangxi lowered his gaze. A deep sadness spread across his face. In a subdued voice, he said,

"I'm sorry, Sheyaan… I didn't tell you about Dad."

Sheyaan asked, completely shocked,

"What didn't you tell me? What happened to Uncle?"

Fangxi's voice began to tremble,

"He… Dad… Dad has passed away. He had a heart attack."

Hearing this, Sheyaan broke down completely. She was badly shaken. Stammering, she asked,

"What? When did this happen? And how? How did Uncle—"

She couldn't hold herself back anymore, and tears started streaming down her face.

Fangxi's eyes filled with tears as well. Crying, he said,

"I told Dad about your accident and coma. He was in the USA at that time, and when he was returning home from there…"

Crying, Fangxi continued,

"Dad had a heart attack, and that's how he passed away. This all happened because of me… And now Manglong Uncle has his eyes on your property and Dad's business."

Sheyaan listened in shock as Fangxi went on,

"Manglong Uncle created a lot of problems, but I didn't give up. I faced every difficulty and took responsibility for Dad's company. After he left us, everything had fallen apart…"

As he said this, Fangxi completely broke down and started crying. Tears filled Sheyaan's eyes too, but she gathered her strength. Holding him steady, she said,

"Fangxi, don't cry. We'll protect our property and the business together, okay?"

Fangxi wiped his tears and looked at Sheyaan with renewed hope. In a calm voice, he said,

"Alright… but Sheyaan, first you'll have to complete your studies."

Sheyaan lowered her head sadly and replied,

"I've forgotten everything, Fangxi…"

Fangxi gently tried to reassure her,

"It's okay, Sheyaan. I'll arrange the best professors and teachers for you, who'll help you learn everything again. Then

we'll get your admission into a university very soon. Tell me. are you ready, Sheyaan?"

Sheyaan looked into Fangxi's eyes and…

Touched by Fangxi's confidence a quiet glow appeared in Sheyaan's eyes she lifted her gaze smiled faintly and spoke with resolve. 

"Alright, Fangxi. I'll complete my studies!"

Hearing this, Fangxi and Sheyaan looked at each other and exchanged an excited high-five. A new sense of hope filled

both their hearts. Just then, the door opened and Fangxi's mom walked into the room.

With a warm smile, she said,

"Congratulations, Sheyaan! You've been discharged from the hospital."

The moment they heard the news, Sheyaan and Fangxi were overjoyed. Their faces lit up with happiness. Shortly after, they completed the hospital formalities and brought

Sheyaan home. Together, Fangxi and his mom gently helped Sheyaan lie down on the bed and made sure she was comfortable.

After a while, Fangxi sat beside Sheyaan and asked,

"Sheyaan, I'll look for a good teacher or professor for your studies. someone who can teach you everything properly at home. What do you think?"

Sheyaan replied happily,

"Alright, Fangxi! I promise I'll study with full effort and dedication."

Hearing this, both Fangxi and his mom felt very happy. Placing her hand affectionately on Sheyaan's head, Fangxi's mom said,

"Sheyaan, along with your studies, take good care of your health too, alright? I'll go downstairs now. You both get some rest."

Saying this, Fangxi's mom stepped out of the room.

As soon as Fangxi's mom left the room, Fangxi took out his phone and dialed a number. He began speaking in his

professional "CEO language." Addressing the person on the other end, Younshu, he said,

"Younshu, find the best professor and ask whether they can prepare a student for university admission within 2–3 months."

A surprised voice came from the other side of the call,

"But Boss… why do you need a professor? You're already so well-educated yourself!"

Fangxi said in his same cold, heavy voice,

"Do exactly what you've been told. Nothing more."

"Okay, Boss. As you say," Younshu said and Fangxi ended the call.

Sheyaan, who had been watching Fangxi closely all this time, said in a playful tone,

"Wow, Fangxi! You've truly become a real CEO. You spoke in such a 'amazing style'!"

Hearing her, Fangxi forgot his sternness and laughed,

"Thank you. for liking my style. And yes, your studies will begin in just a few days, so focus properly, alright?"

With complete confidence, Sheyaan replied,

"Alright!"

Smiling, Fangxi gently placed his hand on Sheyaan's head and…

In a calm, soothing voice, Fangxi said,

"Alright, go to sleep now. If you need anything at all, just give me a call. I'll come to you immediately."

Sheyaan nodded innocently. With a gentle smile, Fangxi left the room. Sheyaan closed her eyes and tried to fall asleep.

But the moment she drifted off, the atmosphere in the room suddenly changed. A mysterious figure, dressed entirely in

black, stood beside Sheyaan's bed. Dark smoke lingered behind him, and his face was partially hidden by a mask.

He was none other than Xavier.

Xavier slowly extended his hand. Suddenly, a red, lightning-like glow burst from it and struck Sheyaan's delicate neck.

The instant the red light touched her skin, Sheyaan writhed in pain. Her body tensed, and a painful scream escaped her lips.

"Aahhhh!"

Overwhelmed by the pain, Sheyaan's eyes flew open. She saw Xavier standing in front of her. and fear took over…

Xavier continued his attack on Sheyaan without a trace of mercy. Sheyaan tried with all her strength to scream,

but Xavier released a strange red light from his other hand, completely silencing her voice.

Her throat tightened. She was writhing in pain, yet not a single sound escaped her lips.

Xavier did not stop. The red glow on Sheyaan's neck flickered like electric current. She lay trembling violently on the bed.

The pain was so intense that her eyes had turned blood-red, and tears streamed endlessly down her face.

But Xavier remained unmoved. As his red, lightning-like power sank deeper into her body, Sheyaan felt as if her soul was being torn out of her.

Her breath grew heavy, her lungs struggling for air. She was frighteningly close to death .and utterly terrified.

Suddenly, Sheyaan's gaze fell upon her hand. A chain was wrapped around her wrist, with a black rose pendant hanging from it.

The moment she saw it, an instinctive feeling rose within her—

that this was no ordinary chain… and that it might be the only thing that could save her.

Gathering every last ounce of strength, Sheyaan clenched the chain tightly in her fist. Deep within her heart, she cried out—

"Help me… please… save me!"

She begged with her entire soul…and that silent plea went straight…

The voice reached Zavian's ears. At that moment, he was standing in front of the mirror, adjusting his clothes. But as soon as he looked at his hands, he was completely shocked.

His hands were slowly fading away. Zavian muttered in disbelief,

"Why… why are my hands disappearing?"

Just then, the same pain-filled voice echoed in his ears once again.

"Please… help me… save me!"

The moment Zavian heard that voice, his eyes turned blood-red. Filled with rage, he roared in his deep, demonic voice,

"Who has invited their own death? Who dared to commit such a filthy act?"

Saying this, Zavian rushed out of his room and vanished in a cloud of black smoke.

Kalene, who was standing there, froze in shock. Beside him stood Younshuan and Alisha, witnessing this side of Zavian for the very first time.

All three of them turned pale with fear, their mouths hanging open in stunned silence.

But Zavian cared about none of it. He was consumed by fury, and his hands continued to fade away. In the very next

moment, like smoke itself, he appeared directly inside Sheyaan's room…

As Zavian entered the room the scene before him ignited a storm of rage with in him Xavier was attempting to rip

Sheyaan soul away and Zavian's eyes burned crimson with uncontrollably fury.

Without wasting a single second, Zavian rushed forward and grabbed Sheyaan's hand. In the very next moment, he raised his hand,

and a deadly energy burst out from it, striking Xavier directly. The force of the attack sent Xavier crashing away.

Sheyaan's condition was terrifying, as if life had almost left her body. She was trembling violently, struggling to take deep breaths. Seeing her like this made Zavian's anger rise even more.

He slowly walked toward Xavier, who was lying on the ground. Zavian crouched beside him and grabbed his throat tightly, roaring in his terrifying demonic voice,

"No matter how hard you try to erase me, you will never succeed!

" Today, you crossed your limits, and you will pay for it. As your King, this is my command!"

Zavian's eyes crackled like lightning. But Xavier refused to surrender. With equal fury, he snarled back in his deep demonic voice,

"I will destroy you!

You are nothing but a mere light born from a human worm!"

With those words, Xavier vanished in an instant.

Xavier tried to snatch Sheyaan's soul…

but Zavien revealed his true identity.

The one who can take life so easily,

is he truly a protector…

or the ruler of another .
