"Ms. Feng, welcome. How was your flight?" some guy asked me with his fake smile.
This is annoying...
"Someone get rid of him." I said, continuing to walk toward the car.
"What? You can't..." he didn't have time to finish before my men gagged him and dragged him out of my sight.
Approaching the car, my assistant immediately opened the door for me.
"Thank you, Little Lin." I said as I got in. I could see how embarrassed she was by the way I addressed her, but she remained silent.
She sat down next to me and handed me the papers...
"Ms here's everything you asked me to find out about this girl." Little Lin said.
"Honestly, madam, I don't know what this girl is all about, but... I heard she slept with someone and is now pregnant, are you sure..."
"Don't worry, let's go to the hotel instead. I'm tired after the flight." I said, to which she nodded, and we headed to the hotel.
Meanwhile, I was looking through the documents, and on the main page was a beautiful young woman, not yet eighteen, with a name under the photo.
Hoshino Ai...
A character with a sad fate, to be a single mother, and to die at the hands of a psychopath...
I don't know why, but I ended up in this world, in an anime world where everyone hides their faces behind masks, but I will definitely break one mask...
When I first regained consciousness, I was lying in a crib, practically immobilized, unable to control my body. And then I saw him, the terrible man who had tormented me for over 12 years.
And he got away with it, for a while... He was one of the richest men on the planet, the one who should have been my father in this life, but instead, he was a mad scientist...
But after enduring so much suffering, I managed to kill him, making it look like an accident, and ultimately, his entire empire was inherited by me, as his biological daughter...
And only then could I properly learn about the situation in the world...
And that in this world there was Hoshimi Ai.
So, I renamed my father's company, or rather, the monster's company, to Wolf Industries. I named my company that because of the experiments I conducted at home... As a result, the gene mixing, which was very painful, resulted in me growing wolf ears...
Which was strange in a world without mysticism.
I bought the studio Ai played in and secretly supported her for several years, until I had to, at the beginning of the story.
My company, at least its main office, is located in China, and in this life, oddly enough, I'm also Chinese, but that doesn't matter to me... I was tempted to interfere with Ai, but then I would definitely disrupt the plot, and she certainly didn't have children, so I decided to simply watch from the shadows...
"Little Lin, did you manage to find out who the father is?" I asked, putting down the documents.
"Yes, Boss." she replied.
"Then I don't want that man to live to see the dawn." I said, feeling anger boiling in my veins.
I knew this would happen, but still...
"As you command." she said, taking out her phone to make a call.
As soon as we reached the hotel, I didn't go inside, but looked at Lin.
"Go and rest." I said.
"Boss, what about you?" she asked, looking at me.
"I have things to do." I said and walked to the parking lot where the Porsche was.
"Boss, do you really like this girl? She's almost ten years younger than you, and she's about to give birth..." She paused, looking at me. My expression didn't change, but there's one thing that tells me I'm starting to get angry.
My eyes...
When I'm angry or frustrated, my eyes glow, most likely another side effect of that monster's experiment.
My eyes used to be blue, but now they've turned a blood-red color. It looked like I was wearing contact lenses, but I wasn't.
And besides, after twenty, my aging seemed to slow down, because for six years now, I've looked like I was twenty, even though I'm almost 27, but I can't know for sure how I'm doing because I don't have a doctor I can trust to do a thorough checkup.
Yes, I even crossed out my birth name, and now my name is Fen, but few people know that it's short for Fenrir, from Norse mythology...
Even in my past life, I loved that kind of thing, and since I'm sort of a she-wolf now... I decided to play around with my name a little...
At least I'm not in heat...
If this were some manga where there were three genders, Alpha, Beta, and Omega, which gender would I be? It's a strange thought, but I'm sure there would have been an Alpha, but this world isn't like that, and it's not the world of manga either...
In the end, little Lin said nothing more, and I headed to the car.
I didn't want to abandon little Lin like that, but time was short, Ai, I was due any day now.
Getting into the car, I headed away from the city, to a remote place where the hospital was supposed to be...
Getting to this town wasn't difficult, in a fast car, and in the first rays of dawn, I drove into this small town.
Having parked on the side of the road, I decided to sit in the car for a while, scrolling through my news feed.
"This is so annoying!" I said, throwing my phone into the backseat with a flash of anger.
All these people, actors with big smiles, how annoying they are, the two-faced scum...
"Sigh... Damn!" I said, slamming my hand on the steering wheel.
After my outburst of anger, I managed to calm myself down and picked up the phone again.
As expected...
All the first articles about my arrival in Japan.
Now it makes sense...
The guy who met me at the airport was most likely the heir to some other company that wanted to collaborate with mine...
I should probably sort things out with that company later...
During this time, my company has captured practically the entire entertainment market, from games to movies, so there are those who want a piece of the pie, but instead, you could say I happily shove it down their throats until they choke from lack of oxygen...
In this life, I've killed more than once... Although most of the murders were on my orders... And all those I killed were scum who didn't deserve to live...
So that's how they started calling me the "Lone Wolf," well, for now...
"Sigh... It's already 9:00, I think it's time to visit her." I said, looking at my phone, then shoved it into my coat pocket...
Opening my visor, Looking in the mirror, I saw before me again who I had become in this life...
"Gray suits me." I said, running my hand through my hair.
Gray hair plus red eyes... I understand why many are afraid of me, because it definitely evokes the image of a ruthless woman capable of killing, although it's true...
Getting out of the car, I walked down the street until a small shop caught my eye.
"A flower shop?" I asked myself.
What kind of flowers does Ai like?
Even though I've known her for two years, I don't know her favorite flowers.
Yes, about two years ago, I was already in Japan, and that's when I bought an idol agency. That's when we met, where Ai worked. And during the whole month I was in Japan, I often went to her rehearsals and even concerts...
The way she smiled at me...
I know it wasn't a fake smile...
Forgetting the past, I went into the store and emerged a few minutes later with a bouquet of peonies. I don't know if she'll like the flowers, but I hope so...
"Maybe I should buy her some fruit too." I said, walking down the street, lost in thought.
Yes, I'll do that, and ten minutes later, I was already walking toward the hospital, holding a bag of fruit in my left hand and a bouquet of flowers in my right.
And soon, I entered the hospital and approached the reception desk.
"Good afternoon, what do you want, or are you here to see someone?" the nurse asked, sitting on a chair.
"Yes, I know there's a young pregnant woman in this hospital." I said.
I didn't know if she gave me her real name, but I'd rather not say it.
"Are you related or..."
"None of your business," I practically growled, and I saw the nurse turn pale and tremble.
"I..."
"I'll take you." I heard a male voice behind me.
Turning around, I saw a man in a white coat...
Isn't that my future stepson?
"Okay." I replied, and followed him.
Apparently, he didn't want me to do anything to that girl at the reception desk, so he decided to interfere. And I don't blame him; I could have easily hurt her if she hadn't given me what I wanted.
"Here's Hoshimi Ai, lying in this room." he said, to which I gasped.
Opening the door, I saw Ai, the same dazzling girl I'd met two years ago. Even her large belly couldn't diminish her attractiveness.
At the moment, she was asleep, snoring softly.
Well, I can wait...
Approaching the bed, I saw a vase on the nightstand, in which I placed the flowers, and went to the restroom to get some water.
Returning, I noticed that Ai had woken up and was currently holding the bag of fruit I'd left behind.
Looking up, she was very surprised and was about to get up, but I walked up to her, placing my hand on her shoulder.
"Mrs. Director?! Why are you here?" she asked, shocked.
I smiled at her.
"I wanted to visit you, and I also bought you these flowers..." I said, blushing slightly, then added.
"I didn't know your favorite flowers, so I bought peonies. So I don't know if you'll like them," I said, scratching my cheek.
She smiled, taking the vase from me to smell the flowers, then beamed brightly.
"I like them." she said, causing me to shudder.
"That's great... Oh, let me peel an apple." I said, taking the bag and removing a couple of apples.
"No, you..."
"I insist." I said, taking a knife from the drawer.
Sitting down next to her, I began peeling an apple.
"Mrs. Director, are you mad at me?" Ai asked as I was peeling the apple, causing me to pause.
"No." I said and continued.
So, I sliced her an apple and gave it to her.
"Why?" she asked when I handed her an apple slice.
"An apple contains a lot of nutritious vitamins…"
"That's not what I'm talking about! Why? Why aren't you angry? Why are you so calm?! I kept this all a secret, so why are you so calm? Shouldn't you be angry at me?!" she asked, almost on the verge of tears.
I shook my head and took her hand...
"Ai, I'm not angry... And you shouldn't either, it could be harmful to the babies," I said.
She didn't answer me, but simply took a slice and began eating.
"When are you due?" I asked, watching her eat.
"The doctor told me within two weeks," she said.
"Okay, then I'll stay with you, and we'll come back together..."
"You don't have to..." I cut her off, placing my finger on her lips.
"But I want this." I said, to which she fell silent.
So, I spent the whole day in her room, watching her smile at me, making me want to kiss her, but...
I couldn't, not now...
What if I scare her away...
What if she's disgusted by me?
And leaves, and I never see her again...
I don't want that, not now, not ever...
I have to figure out if this is what she wants...
Or will I just be her friend and boss...
And even if that's the case...
I definitely won't leave her...
And I will protect her until my last breath...
I want her smile to continue shining like it does now, and only then...
Then, I can be with her...
