My Wife Is My Life! novel Chapter 2

Vana's life forever changed when she was eighteen-years-old.

Before she turned eighteen, she was the Gu Family's precious little gem. She was the woman that everybody was envious of. However, the moment she turned eighteen, her entire life had changed for the worse.

Four years ago, Emily informed her that Billy had been kidnapped. When Vana went to the place where it all happened, she'd been taken hostage in exchange for Billy. Before she knew it, she was dragged into an even darker room where she was continually insulted by these men.

A mysterious phone call saved her life. Before she knew it, she was being smuggled abroad and sold to Eritrea. Wars were happening continuously as everyone ran back and forth with guns slung to their hips. Although she wasn't being harassed by these men anymore, she was still scared out of her mind.

After four years of surviving, she finally had a chance to return home, only to be exposed to thousands of scandals. Now, she had nowhere to hide.

A part of her was afraid that she wouldn't be able to stay here anymore.

That was fine. A part of her hated this place anyway, but she couldn't leave her parents. They had taken care of her and treated her whole heartedly for so many years. She didn't want to leave her grandfather who treated her so kindly throughout the years. She also didn't want to leave Billy, who grew up with her and even promised to marry her when the time was right.

Back then, she was their precious jewel. But now, she was a stain they wanted to remove.

Vana wandered outside, having nowhere else to go. In the evening, she finally returned to her company dormitory.

She was now working under the company that her grandfather, Edwin Gu, had founded for her. It was a jewelry business under the Song Group, and it had many branches locally and abroad. The SS Jewelry was now favored by many celebrities and A-listers.

"May my deep love guard you forever." That was the one-liner they used to advertise the SS Jewelry, and it was that one line that had embedded itself in everyone's hearts. Charles Lu, an A-lister, even said how the SS Jewelry was a must for socialites.

Four years ago, Vana had greatly admired Renee Song, the Song Group's top designer and decision maker. She was also the wife of Andrew Deng, the legend in the business circle.

If someone were to speak of the couple, all kinds of luxury and high-end brands would flash to mind. They were a power couple, who meant to rule the jewelry business.

Vana had always admired the creative pieces that Renee Song designed.

Five years ago, at the fairy palace fashion ceremony, the Song Group launched the 'Classic Series'. They were called the 'XS Jewelry', showcasing the highlights of Renee Song's work. From XS01 to XS12, they all displayed the intricacies and effort that Renee Song put in to design them.

Words couldn't describe how much Vana admired this outstanding woman.

She felt incredibly lucky to work for the SS Jewelry.

When Vana returned to the dormitory, her feet already numb from walking. Then she saw two girls chatting with each other.

They turned towards her, and their expression changed immediately.

"Vana, what are you doing here?" Petty Lin was about to grab cup of water, but she was frozen into place. She shot a look at the woman beside her.

Julie Zhu hid something behind her, laughing awkwardly. "Why don't you go back home? It's late. There are only two beds in the dormitory, you know. It's time you leave."
