Chapter 40: Emilia
Chen Tian was walking down the street and had no idea that chaos was going on around him. He had no idea that the small things he did have would set off a chain of events that would change his life.
"Damn it, I am late," murmured Chen Tian as he looked up at the sky. He quickly retrieved his phone from his pocket and checked the time. To his dismay, his eyes widened in surprise as he realized that it was already 8 p.m. This meant that he was already late for the party that his aunt had organized.
Worst of all, he was shocked to see that his aunt had called him multiple times, but he hadn't answered any of her calls.
"Shit! I am in a lot of trouble! My aunt is going to kill me!" Chen Tian quickly dialed his aunt's number and waited anxiously for her to answer. He hoped he could explain himself and avoid any further consequences.
Luckily for him, he didn't have to wait; his aunt picked up the phone.
"Hello, Tian. Where have you been? Do you know how long I have been trying to reach you!?" Chen Ying's angry voice sounded from the other side of the phone, indicating her clear displeasure.
Upon hearing her voice, Chen Tian immediately understood that his aunt was angry and knew he couldn't let the situation escalate.
He realized that he needed to come up with a convincing explanation to placate her and make amends, or else he might face the full force of her wrath.
"Sorry, Aunt. I was at the library and had my phone on silent, so I couldn't hear it ringing," Tian replied softly.
"You! Do you realize what time it is? Hurry back home. Your birthday party started 30 minutes ago!"
"Y-Yeah, I'm on my way!" Chen Tian hastily hung up and started walking towards his house.
'I believe that she is angry with me. I am in a lot of trouble when I get home.'
As soon as the call was disconnected, Chen Tian's heart raced with urgency, and he took off in a sprint towards the train station.

"Beep! Beep!"
"Leila, how much longer till we reach our destination?"
In a luxurious car, a youthful woman directed her inquiry toward another woman, who appeared to be in her early twenties, asking about the estimated time of arrival to their destination.
The woman seemed impatient and wanted to arrive faster at the place she wanted to go to.
She was eagerly looking forward to the event they were attending. She kept checking her watch and tapping her foot, hoping they would get there soon. It was clear that the event meant a lot to her, and she didn't want to miss any part of it.
The woman looked like a mix of Asian and European women. She has pale white skin and golden hair like Europeans, but her Asian face and body are so noticeable that she wouldn't look like a mixed woman if it weren't for her hair and skin color.
Besides, she wasn't very tall either. It is only about 160 cm tall, which is the average height of an Asian woman.
What attracts the most attention about the woman's appearance are her golden eyes and her style, which looks very feminine and refined.
"We'll be arriving at our destination in approximately 20 minutes, Miss Emilia," the other woman spoke up.
She had lost count of the number of times she had made this statement. Glancing over at the young woman in the back seat of the luxurious car, she could see that she was agitated and in a hurry.
"Heheh~ I can't wait any longer. Today, at last, I will be reunited with my beloved~~"
Emilia's voice quivered with anticipation as she spoke. She had been counting down the days until this moment, longing to be in the arms of her one true love.
Her heart raced with excitement, imagining the sweet moments they would share together.
Upon witnessing how her young miss had fallen, the other woman couldn't help but shake her head in loss at the young woman's words.
"Ah, Chen Tian! It has been such a long time since we last met, and I have been missing him so much!
"…"
"Miss, it hasn't actually been five full days since the last time you saw him, has it?" Leila said.
"Humph. I highly doubt that you could possibly understand the depth of my emotions that I experience every day for a single minute without his presence, which is like hell for me.
"…"
"But, miss, he doesn't love y..."
"He does!" Emilia shouted with a crazed look on her face.
"He is just shy, but I know he loves me. This time around, he will acknowledge his love for me." A dangerous glint appeared in Emilia's eyes.
"And today, I will ensure that it happens. After he accepts my gift, everything will fall into place. I have prepared extensively for this gift, and I am confident that it will have the desired impact."
"Miss, I still don't understand why you are so invested in this man. Is he truly that important?" Leila asked.
"Important! He is very important to me. He is the beat of my heart, the rhythm of my soul, and the love of my life. Without him, everything feels incomplete," Emilia said with a crazed look on her face. If this were an anime, she would have had hearts in her eyes.
"But you know, Miss, that your father..."
"Don't talk about that bastard!" Emilia replied sharply, cutting off Leila's sentence. Her crazed look disappeared, and a disgusted expression appeared on her face. "He may have given me life, but he has never been important to me. For me, Honey is the only one who truly matters."
Her eyes were glowing dangerously, but soon the light seemed to fade. Obsession could be felt coming out of her body.
Leila felt a sudden chill down her spine as she looked at Emilia and realized that something was not right.
"I will kill everyone!!"
"W-What?"
"I will kill everyone who dares to step between us. He is only mine!!"
"…"
"Young Miss is at a point of no return." Leila thought. She had no choice but to remain silent in response to her young miss love.
'Miss, I really do hope that everything works out for you because this is your very last chance.'
"Now go faster!" Emilia urged Leila to drive faster.
"Yes Miss"
With that, Leila pressed down harder on the gas pedal and sped off towards their destination.

[A/N: I think we're dealing with a crazy yandere.
Will Chen Tian be all right?
Maybe, yes, maybe...]
