Marriage with My Boss - Chapter 4 You Mess With the Wrong Princess.

SLAP! Hana slaps Rui across the face. The maids and the butlers are shocked.

“You bastard! Just what the heck are you thinking?!” “I did nothing wrong.” “My background, you knew?” “Yes.” She tries to slap him once more but he catches her hand.

“Let go…let go I said!” “What I said earlier is the truth. I want you to be my wife.” “Over my dead body. I wouldn’t marry you!”

“Why? What’s your reason to reject me?” “Mr. Zhan. I don’t need a reason to reject you. Now let me go.”

“In all your lifetime, you only date one man. A man who’s not into you but your money.” She got angry that she kicks him right in the nut.

He loosen his grip. He fell onto his knees and both hands on top of it. “Argh. You—” “I rather die than marry you.”

She turns her heels and left the room. The maids walks up to him. “Master. Are you alright?” Ivan was there. “Master. You have done it.” Ivan then walks away.

…

Next morning, he gets up but still in pain from last night. He heads out of his room. He spots Hana in the garden with Sora. She then left with Sora to drop him off to the school. “Hana. Are you mad at Dad?”

“Of course I am.” “You don’t want to be my new mommy?” “Sora. You deserve a better one than me.” “But…no one loves me more than you, Hana.” Hana pats his head. “I’m sure. Someone will other than me, Sora.”

Sora enters his school. He waves at her as she did the same. She turns her heels and head back to the mansion. (Great. I have to face that bastard.) As she walks, someone grabs her behind and covers her mouth. “Mmph!”

…

Rui is in his study room, waiting for her to come back. “Where is she?” He looks at his watch then to the window. “She should be back by now.”

She got knocked out. A bag over her face. Her hands are tied. “She’s probably waiting. Hurry up!” “What can we do when there’s so much traffic?!” She slowly opens her eyes. (Where am I? It’s so dark.)

BEEP BEEP. “Hurry up, you old man!” (One in the driver seat.) Man 2 said, “Oh my god. That woman is going to kill us.” (Two on my right.) Man 3 said, “Not even that. She’s not going to pay us.” (Three on my left. Who are they? Why did they kidnap me? I have no enemies besides…her…Melody…)

The van stops. “The van is out of gas.” “I need to use the restroom.” “Me too.” “Hey! Keep an eye on her.” “Yeah yeah.” (Two are gone. This is my chance to escape.)

She loosen the rope. “The gas pump are done.” The door opens and then closed. The man walks out and removes the pump. He closed the gas door and returns to the car. He opens the door and she use that time to kick him hard.

“ARGH!!!”

She removes the bag over her head and make a run for it. She runs into a four way street. “Damn it. Where am I?” She looks around and doesn’t know where to go. She decided to take the path where have houses nearby.

She runs to the left side of the road and quickly runs to the houses. Two of the man comes back. They both sees him on the ground. They runs and checks inside of the car. “Where is she?”

“She escape.” “What?! We’re dead meat. We need to find her!” They all get into the car and also head to the four way street. “Damn it. Which way did she go?!” “We need to go separate ways to find her.

Two of the men gets out of the car. The one in the car takes the road up ahead. Another one takes the road on the right, while the last man takes the left side of the road.

Hana kept running. She reaches the houses. She enters the far one. Knock Knock Knock Knock. The door opens. She sees a old woman. “Please help me. I’ve been kidnap. Please let me hide here for a bit. I beg you.”

The woman looks around and nods. Hana enters in. The old woman leads her to the basement. “Stay here.” “May I use your phone?” She nods. She went to get the phone for Hana. Hana takes a breath.

The old woman comes back with the phone. She hands the phone to Hana. Hana dials Rui’s cell. Rui receives the call from an unknown number. He answers it. “Hello.”

“Rui. It’s me.” “Hana? Where–” “Can you come and get me?” “What?” “I don’t have time. Just come. Track this number and come as soon as possible. I’ll tell you what happen later. I don’t have time. They might come and find me.”

She ended the call. “What’s going on?” Rui grabs his jacket. “Ivan.” Ivan appears. “Track this number for me.” “Yes, Master.”

Rui gets in his car and drives to find Hana. Ivan texts Rui the address. Rui heads there immediately. Knock Knock. The old woman and Hana froze. (Is that Rui?) The old woman went upstairs and checks who it was.

BANG BANG!

Hana was startled. “..Gun shots?” Hana stands up and notices a secret door on the floor. She opens it and went inside. She follows the path without looking back. She found a door.

She quietly opens it. She looks around her surrounding and make a run to the road. A car almost hit her. “Hana.” “Rui.” She quickly gets in the car. “Go. Go. Go.” She laid back and trying to catch her breath.

Rui speaks up, “What’s going on?” “I need to use your phone.” He hands his cellphone to her. She dials someone’s number. “It’s me. Check Sora’s school security cameras for me.” “Okay. Hold on.” After a short while, “You’ve got kidnapped?” “Yes. There’s three men. Scan their damn faces and let me know if you find anything on them.”

Hana hangs up. She sighs. Before Rui could say anything, she speaks up, “I think those men are taking orders from Melody.” They stops at the stop light. Rui looks at her, while she looks out the window.

“They shot an innocent elderly woman, who helped me to stay hidden.” Hana was mad at herself. They return home and headed to her room. She grabs her cellphone and calls someone. “Got anything?” “They met a woman behind a bar. She’s …” “Blond medium-length hair, wears an expensive dress?” “Yes.” “Release it to the press. And the photo of the elderly woman. Do it anonymously.” “Yes.”

Hana ends the call. “If you want to kill me, you should’ve done it from the start instead of harming and killing the innocent people.” She toss the cellphone on the bed. She sits down on the bed. “Damn it. Damn it.”

…

Next day.

SLAP! Melody fell on the floor with her hand on her cheek. Her dad was furious. “You paid them to kill that elderly woman?!!!” “Father…what are you talking about?” Her father throws a newspaper at her.

She grabs it and read the headlines; ‘Miss Melody Paid 3 Men to kill an Elderly Woman!’ Her eyes widen and blurted, “No I told them to kill that skanky maid of Rui’s.” She gasped and covers her mouth.

Her father is even more furious. “MELODY!!” “Father, I hated her. She’s going to be Rui’s wife.” “And you think Rui is going to marry a killer?” Melody falls into her knees. “Papa. Help me. Please.” Her father looks away.

A maid comes in. “Master. Miss.” “What is it?” “…Police officers are here to take Miss away.” Her eyes widen. “No.” She holds onto her father’s leg. “Papa. Do something. Please. Cover it for me.”

Her father closed his eyes and sighs. “Papa. I beg you.” The officers came and take her away. “Papa.” “Melody.”

He turns to his daughter. “You commit a crime. You need to compensate for what you did.” “Papa…” Melody cries. “You’re…not going to help me?” “You killed an innocent elderly woman, Melody.”

He gestures them to take her away. “Master.” “It’s my fault. I spoil her too much. If only her mother is still here. Maybe she will listen to her more obediently.”

Hana was standing by the window. Her phone beeps. She takes out her cellphone and sees a text message of a clip of the today’s news. She clicks on it and there’s footage of Melody was taken to the station. She puts her cellphone back into her pocket.

“You mess with the wrong princess, Melody.”
