Chapter 1The Voice from Beyond

The day sky-filling fireworks bearing my name lit up Hong Kong, Julian Star dialed my number.

"Yvonne, happy birthday. Pity I still can't be by your side this year to celebrate."

"Be good and wait a bit more, three days later is our eighth anniversary, I will definitely go back to accompany you."

Phone hung up, the woman under Julian entwined him like a water snake.

"Really going back?"

"Then what about me?"

Looking at Serena's eyes red with grievance, he heartached and kissed her passionately.

"If not go back, she will make a scene."

But what Julian didn't know was, I would never throw a tantrum at him again.

Because I died two years ago.

The one who just answered his call was merely an AI Voice Clone system I made for him before dying.

* * *

Julian flipped over, pressing Serena who was originally straddling him under his body.

"We have to be fast, my flight is at ten tonight."

Serena stiffened.

"Leaving tonight? Didn't you say three days later?"

Julian said carelessly:

"Mm, plan to go back early, give her a surprise."

Words fell, he pinched her chin and kissed fiercely.

A big hand exploring constantly, strength so big as if to knead Serena into pieces.

I have never seen Julian like this.

He in my impression, was such a gentle person.

Still remember my 18th birthday coming of age day, I overheard his conversation with friends.

"Star Bro, your that little princess finally eighteen today, are you preparing to go big tonight?"

"Look how thoughtful brother is, prepared ultra-thin ones for you, whole ten oh~"

Julian threw the box in hand onto the ground.

"Yvonne is still small, no."

"What rotten idea, roll roll roll."

Crowd scattered, I watched Julian sitting on sofa irritably lighting a cigarette.

I pushed the door, he immediately extinguished the cigarette.

I picked up the box thrown on the ground, sat opposite him, looked into his eyes.

"If you want, I am willing."

"As long as it's you, I am willing anything."

I could see lust rising in Julian's eyes.

But finally, he just pressed that not fully extinguished cigarette fiercely on his own hand.

"I am not willing, I want to keep your best everything for our wedding night."

"So Yvonne, let's get married early, okay?"

I floated aside, watching the two entangled on bed inseparable.

Good thing, ghosts don't feel heartache.

Afterwards, Serena leaned obediently in Julian's arm bend.

"Does your family's that good girl also play with you like this?"

Julian satisfied touched Serena's head.

"Yvonne understands nothing, of course won't."

"Speaking of in bed, still cooler with you."

Serena looked up smilingly asked:

"Then how about you divorce her, marry me?"

Her voice just fell, Julian immediately cold face.

"Back then when I took you abroad, I said, I give you resources, you provide physiological value for me, not let you have excessive delusions right?"

A trace of jealousy flashed in Serena's eyes, but still lowered head.

"Sorry."

"I overstepped."

Abrupt phone ringtone broke the stiff atmosphere between the two.

Driver's voice came from phone.

"Mr. Star, I arrived, go to airport now?"

"Mm, I go down now."

Julian pushed away Serena, neatly got off bed dressed.

Serena bit lip asked:

"Then when will you come back?"

Julian put on last coat.

"Not coming back, these two years hard on you, resources I gave you before unchanged, additionally I wire you another $20 Million."

"You take money, stay here act obediently, don't return to Hong Kong, if matter between us two known by Yvonne, you know consequences."

Julian reached out touched Serena's head.

Just about turn leave, but grabbed by Serena.

"Can you, not leave today?"

Serena mumbled:

"Tomorrow is Charity Gala, you said back then, would accompany me go."

"I looked forward for long time, just treat as good gathering good parting..."

Julian looked down, met Serena's eyes full of begging.

Still remember three years ago day Julian left, I also begged him like this.

"What project started so urgent?"

"Can't wait tomorrow accompany me finish birthday then leave?"

I red eyes, looked at Julian somewhat aggrieved.

Together with Julian twelve years, every my birthday, he always pushed all schedule, prepared one week in advance.

But this time, he just took out a necklace from chest.

"I know tomorrow is your birthday, but Yvonne, this project really important, won't work without me personally watching."

"This necklace is I specially begged French designer make birthday gift for you, I put on for you, treat as I accompanied you birthday."

He gently put necklace on my neck, didn't even have time look one glance, dropped a kiss on my forehead.

"You be good, I have to go, wait I arrive place, call you."

But that day, I waited from day to past midnight.

Didn't wait Julian's reply.

Until 2 AM, outside lightning thunder.

I shrank in quilt, dialed his phone.

Phone rang many times, finally hung up.

I got, only Julian's one cold message.

[Yvonne, I am busy, reply you later.]

That time, I really thought Julian was busy.

Busy to forget say happy birthday to me.

Now think, he just put all heart on Serena.

Julian looked at Serena, hesitated long time.

But finally, he dialed assistant phone.

"Delay ticket to tomorrow night, I still have some things here."

"You find time tomorrow go see Yvonne, see what she likes recently, tomorrow auction, I good bring some gifts for her."

Julian has heart remember me.

Pity, I long died.
