*************R-18 Gruesome words*******************

The boy was holding so tight the gift of the girl. Devon can see the fear in his eyes when he perceived a woman with so many servants walking toward him.

She walked closer, and a servant snatches the gift of the girl in his hand and gave it to the woman who wears a phoenix hairpin.

Devon brows knitted together. He looked at the woman who arrived. She dresses elegantly and wears a phoenix hairpin in hair. This time Devon can hear them talking.

"Where are his servants? punished them with 30 lashes each." She looked at the young kid with fury in her face. She looked at the flower in her hand.

"How many times I've mentioned that the general's daughter is your enemy." The woman said and throws and step on the flower that the girl gave to him.

"Mother... I..."Devon can see the terrible panic in his sunken eyes.

"Drag him and do 10 canes. You need to learn your punishment." The servants of the woman literally drag the boy.

Devon can see how the woman severely punished the young boy. He was petite and young. Even malnourished. He discovers old marks all over his body. While he was being beaten. All the maids were doing nothing. Seems they are all afraid of the woman in front of them. Devon's face was twisted in anger. He desperately wanted to save the young kid. But he can't do anything.

At night with tremendous pain. The young boy sneaks out of his room and in spite of his acute injury. He desperately tries his best to walk. Even though his back starts bleeding again. He still went out. At his young age, it was surprising he was capable to survive all the cruel torture that his mother doing to him.

He went back toward the place where the gift of the girl was crumbled down. He sought it and when he found it. He picks it up and it seems like he carried it very carefully not to further damage the petals. He slowly went back to his own palace and put it in one of his boxes. Devon can see so many tiny things inside the box. He extracted some of the stones in his bedroom and buried the box.

As the days go by. Sometimes he saw him looking at the young girl playing with other girls in a far distance. The young kid keeps on hiding while looking at her. He can only saw her once in a while and every time he saw her. He will hide. Sometimes his own servants will punish him if they found out he was looking at the young girl.

There was one incident that the young boy wanted to meet the young girl. He was supposed to ask one of his brothers for help but alas the brother informed the mother of the young boy and once again punished by standing in the rain. Many concubines and many princes and princes were making fun of him. In a palace that even a mother can eat their cub for the sake of rules, hierarchy, fame, vengeance, etc. he cannot do anything. He is bound to be in that place.

The knuckles of Devon are clenching while looking at the kid being beaten over and over.

Every night he will bring out the box that has many tiny things that were carefully set inside the box and look at it. He smiles every time he looks at them. The girl gives so many small gifts to him every time she sees him but he tried his best to pretend to be mean or pushed her away. In spite of his mean demeanor. She keeps on being sweet. That is the reason why he falls in love with her. It was difficult for him to be mean, but if he will not be mean to her. His mother warned him that she will make a way to harm her.

Devon was observing the whole time about the life of the young boy when suddenly he was awakened. Someone is slightly shaking him up.

When he opened his eyes. It was Janice who dresses in white.

"Why did you not come home?" Janice immediately tears up.

Devon remembers about the paper and what happened this morning.

He did not say anything instead of. He grabbed the papers that were on his desk and throw her the copy that he printed last night.

Janice was wondering, what is it all about. When she starts reading it.

Her eyes were wide open.

"Devon this is fake. They allegedly made this up."Janice shakily said.

Devon walked toward the glass window and look at the morning sun.

"Before I will do something bad to you get out." he calmly said.

"No, no, Devon this is not true. This is fake. " Janice walked toward him and embraces him in his back.

"It is fake. Believe me. I was pregnant, and this birthmark was all true. Please don't belive this report. Someone is trying to slander me. Maybe that Sheri Hoal is doing something to twist my name again."

Devon brow knitted together and he forcibly removed her hand in his waist and clutch her exposed neck and starts choking her. He couldn't grasp why when she mentioned Sheri Hoal his blood starts to boil.

Janice starts to struggle frantically. She cannot breathe due to the grip of Devon in her neck.

"You snake" Devon shouts and fling her on the floor.

"Get out," Devon however calmly said.

"Devon... Don't I love you. Don't do this to me. Those were not true." Janice cried bitterly while holding unto him. She felt fear for the first time. She works so hard to get him. She is almost there. The title she wanted Mrs. Goori is almost reachable. She wouldn't allow it to vanish just like that.

"Get out," Devon shouted furiously at Janice.

"Devon.."Janice tearily said. Devon walked toward his phone and call.

"Call the security and get this woman out and never will you allow her to step one foot inside my building." Devon angrily said and fire that person who allowed her to come inside.

"No Devon listen to me. That medical report is fake. Please believe me." Janice was weeping uncontrollably.

"Get out before you soil my carpet with your disgusting blood" Devon almost kill her.

Luckily for Janice. Two security guards came.

Janice clings toward the legs of Devon, but the security guard doesn't know what to do since they know the woman who is clinging toward their boos is his fiancee.

"What are you still doing? Get her out!" Devon angrily shouts. The two security guards scrambled frantically and forcibly pulled Janice out of Devon's office. He almost kicks her but he will not lower himself to a person so as her.

The whole time Janice was screaming and shouting the name of Devon.

Devon didn't care and was merely looking at the view.

After a few hours of standing still, he walked out of his office. The whole office was full of rumors.

Devon went home. He saw Janice was sitting at his couch crying.

Devon went out instantly and dials his phone. "I want you to fire everyone who let that woman in my house. Immediately sell that house. I will send you soon a new address and get me some new clothes. "

Devon went toward a hotel nearby.

He was so tired that he immediately went to bed after receiving his key.

While sleeping. He started dreaming again, about the young kid and the young girl. Both are already in their teenage. One day some of his siblings caused a scheme and they left him outside the gate of the capital. Outside the gate, he saves a man. Since then the man teaches him diverse kinds of martial arts.

The father of the young girl perceives the condition of the young kid. Indeed, he is the son of the empress, but he was never handled as one. He is always being humiliated and few nobles who know his condition has started to feel compassion toward him. It was not an easy walk for a kid like him.

One time, the young kid was taking a peek at the young girl during a palace celebration. He doesn't show that he is concerned but the back in his mind one firm thought, was kept on playing.

"Xue Li, wait for me..."The young kid whispered said to himself.

Back at Eric's apartment.

Sheri wakes up late.

She looked at the place and it dawns on her that she was sleeping at Eric's.

Sheri sigh and starts to rise from the bed. She remembers something while walking toward the bathroom. She almost hit her head. She doesn't have any clothes. Her house is burned.

Someone knocked at her door while she's thinking to go and have shopping. She's still wearing her old clothes from yesterday.

Sheri went and opens the door and came four people inside.

"Ah.. Can I help you guys?"Sheri was a bit shocked because they just came in just like that.

"Madam, we came to measure you if you could please allow us to measure you." one of the women said.

"ah... wait." Sheri wasn't able to protest because the 4 women started to measure and take note of everything.

"Please, madam."One woman was indicating Sheri to go inside the bathroom.

Sheri was a bit embarrassed she doesn't have any extra underwear so she was thinking to better go out and buy and later take a shower.

Still, they insist on her to take a bath. Sheri has no choice but to obey them. They were supposed to help her take a bath but Sheri stops them and asks them to leave her and do her stuff. After an hour of just taking her time to bath. She was thinking perhaps the four women already left. To her surprise, they were still standing outside the bathroom waiting for her.

The four women show her the wardrobe it was quite hidden, and Sheri hasn't ventured the whole room yet. Sheri was surprised when she went inside the walking closet.

When she saw all the clothes that were hanging. They were all high-class clothes. Not a single one can be called cheap. The underwears were expensive. Dresses were tailored beautiful and all are her sizes.

The corner of Sheri's mouth starts to twitch because she absolutely hates this kind of extravagant clothes. In her old world, she loved to wears them but after her second life. She finds it awkward to wear something that she didn't pay with her paycheck.

She asks all the women to leave her alone, and they did. She chooses a simple outfit. Skinny jeans and a t-shirt and a leather jacket. Her hair is short so it's easy for her.

When she went out of her room, she saw Eric sitting in the long table with different food on the table. Sheri can see he didn't touch anything. It seems he's waiting for her.

He looks up and saw her. He was silent for a minute and when she coughs, he was awake.

"Glad you're awake."Eric put down his phone and pats the chair next to him.

Sheri shakes his head.

"I am more comfortable facing you." Sheri calmly said and sits in front of Eric.

"You don't have to be cautious toward me. Read" He passed the news paper to her. When Sheri opens the headlines, she read the front page. A sentence were printed in bold letters.

"Sheri Hoal innocent"

Sheri brow knitted together.

"System what is happening?" Sheri was frantically speaking in her head.

"Host there is something wrong in this world. I found out those changes in data have been kept on occurring daily. New things are kept on adding. I can't see anymore and can't follow what will happen."

"Huh?"

"Huh?"
