Your Love Is My Weapon

Xavier quickly took her to the hospital.

Arya heard Sunny crying in the ward when she was walking in the corridor.

Arya quickened her pace and pushed open the door. Two nurses couldn't control her, and Arya stepped forward to help.

"What are you doing?" Arya didn't understand why she was like that. When she left, Sunny was not so emotionally irritated.

It seemed that Sunny had found a straw to save her life and she held Arya tightly. “I'm so scared being here alone. Those images haunt me when I close my eyes.”

Arya understood her breakdown and patted her on the back to comfort her. "You will be okay. Everything will be fine while time passes.”

But she knew that the pain would never be alleviated. And the pain may even become sharper and made her suffer for the rest of her life.

Sunny held Arya and put her chin against her shoulder, trembling. "You won't understand. They tortured me... I would rather die. I'm miserable.”

"If you die, no one will know what you have experienced. But those who had hurt you can still live a happy life. Your death will not affect anyone but only make your parents suffer.”

When Sunny said she wanted to kill herself, Arya thought of herself in the past. She also wanted to die. It was the child who came to her by accident that saved her.

Arya felt pain when thinking of that child. She closed her eyes. "What I've experienced is even more terrible, but I'm still alive. You will not have the chance to punish those who hurt you if you kill yourself."

Xavier stood at the door and was shocked to see the sadness in Arya's eyes.

He knew that she had experienced a lot, but he was eager to get close to her and to hear her stories now.

'What exactly had she gone through so she could say that?"

Sunny was comforted by Arya and calmed down gradually. She didn't say that she wanted to die but she refused to let Arya go.

"I don't want to be alone.” She couldn't sleep and she would think too much if she was alone here. Arya patted her on the back. "I won't go. I'll stay with you.”

"I want to go home.” She felt that others looked at her with strange eyes.

She could not stand others’ gossip.

Arya agreed to take her home.

However, she didn't dare to let her stay at home alone. “What if she hurt herself again?"

She looked up at Xavier. "Can I not go back tonight?"

Only then did Sunny found that there was another person standing at the door. When she saw Xavier's face, she opened her mouth wide in disbelief. 'Why is he here?’

“What is the relationship between Arya and him?"

Xavier pursed his lips and did not answer.

Arya thought that as long as she was obedient to him, he would be kinder to her.

She lowered her head in disappointment, not even wanting to see him

"How do you know you will be rejected before I say anything?"

Arya raised her head abruptly and asked in an uncertain tone, "You agree?”

Xavier didn't answered directly, "Pack your belongings up and I'll help you with discharge formalities.”

Then he turned around and left.

Arya was still standing there, surprised.

She almost forgot how to react. His attitude and his actions were unexpected.

"I should have thought that your relationship is special. Otherwise, how could you be safe last time?"

Arya pursed her lips and put on the coat for her. Sunny grabbed her hand. "Do you know he has a fiancée and has announced that he's getting married soon? You..."

"Yes. And you misunderstand our relationship. I just..have a deal with him."

Arya knew that Sunny must have misunderstood her relationship with Xavier.

Sunny wanted to say something but she swallowed her words.

She could tell that Arya was not very willing to tell her.

Xavier finished the discharge formalities, and Arya had packed up Sunny's belongings and they left the hospital.

Arya and Sunny sat in the back seat. Xavier was driving. He glanced at Arya through the rearview mirror. "Where are you going?”

Arya told her the address of the house she rented.

Although she had been living in Xavier's villa, she didn't cancel the lease.

Because she knew that her relationship with Xavier would come to an end and she would come back.

Soon, the car stopped. Arya got off the car first then helped Sunny get out.

"Then we'll go in." Arya said to Xavier.

Xavier nodded.

He stared at Arya disappearing into the night. Instead of leaving, he lit a cigarette.

Others could not see through his expression was under the colorful streetlights.

Arya, who had already brought Sunny upstairs, was making up the bed. No one had been living here recently and she was changing clean bed sheets.

She asked Sunny to lie on the bed. She opened the window to get some fresh air and she found that Xavier's car hadn't left.

Her eyes became complicated. She could not see Xavier's expression clearly and could only see that he was smoking.

"Arya, what are you doing? Can you sleep with me?"

"Oh, okay."

Arya withdrew her eyes and turned into the bedroom.

"Do you have any wine?" Sunny asked.

"I can't fall asleep.”

Arya said yes and went to get her the wine. It was bought by Jasper.

She came in with the wine and two glasses.

Then she leaned against the bed with Sunny.

And she poured the wine.

"Can you tell me about you?" Sunny looked at her and asked.

Arya tightened her grip on the glass and gulped the drink down

Then she poured another glass.

"If you don't want to tell me, that's ok."

Sunny also gulped down the wine.

"You were right. Marshal's my half-brother.”

"My father cheated on my mother when she was pregnant with me. His mistress Estella gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl who are one year younger than me. They are Marshal and Harriet.”

"Four years ago, Estella came to the Harrison Family with her children. My mother found out the truth and couldn't bear it... She jumped down from the building..."

Arya's voice was choked with pain. She widened her eyes and raised her head to prevent tears from falling.

Sunny hugged her. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked.”

Arya clenched the glass tightly, her knuckles turning white.

She would never forget what her mother said to her before she committed suicide in despair.

She said, "Arya, I'm sorry to leave you alone in this terrible world. Promise me. You will live a happy life."

She was unable to stop her mother.

She would never forget how her mother was lying on the ground, with blood all around her.

She wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes.

She had once thought of committing suicide, but she didn't put it into action.

She could not be weak. She had promised her mother to live a good life.

"You're from the Harrison Family. Why doesn't anyone know? Other people think the Harrison Family only has two children, Harriet and... Marshal.”

Arya was no longer as excited as when she talked about his mother. She said mockingly, "My father sent me to prison for his only son. He probably didn't want to admit that I'm his daughter too." She omitted the experience that she had been framed.

She looked indifferent.

But she still felt pain when mentioning that.

Sunny hugged her tightly and she didn't know how to comfort her.

No words could comfort her.

They kept drinking. Maybe they could forget the unhappiness if they were drunk.

A bottle of wine soon was finished. They drank without eating anything and they were both in a bad mood.

They were all a little drunk.

Sunny lay on the bed. Her eyes narrowed and she was drowsy.

Arya couldn't fall asleep. She got out of bed, walked to the window, and looked downstairs.

The car hadn't left yet.

She went downstairs without thinking too much.

Maybe it was because she was a little drunk or maybe there was another reason...

It was a little cold outside. She gathered her clothes and walked towards the car.

There were several cigarette butts on the ground. She looked at him. "Why haven't you gone back yet?"

Xavier said faintly, "Why are you still awake?"

Arya smiled.

"Get in the car. It's cold outside.”

It was indeed cold outside. It was almost winter, and the wind was bone-chilling cold.

She opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.

Xavier reached out to hold her hand and rubbed his thumb against the back of her hand. "Your hand is so cold."

Arya did not move and just let him hold her.

"Thank you for today.” Arya said sincerely.

"How are you going to thank me, huh?"

His voice was low. He said with a half-smile, making the atmosphere romantic.

But his words destroyed the good impression he left on her today.

Arya's expression was no longer that relaxed.

"Mr. Jones, what do you want?" Before Xavier could respond, she unbuttoned her clothes with her other hand.

Xavier's face gradually darkened, and his eyes were cold as if they were filled with ice.

"What do you mean?"

Arya smiled. "Don't you want this?"

Xavier was about to explode.

“She thinks that I only want to sleep with her?

"In your eyes, I treat you well just for having sex with you?"
