Don Wei's Pov

He punched the punching bag again and again as the bag began to slowly break. "Don-sama." Sebastian's voice ripped him away from his thoughts, as his butler had tea and sugar waiting for him. Huh, Sebastian, always had sugar waiting for him nowadays, well it was expected, his mother had them trapped for a month now. For a month he and Eva had been trapped in his childhood home. His parents never letting him leave, afraid he would escape and leave them again. Sebastian had told him the story. His sister's Lihua's death had devastated his parents, the only thing keeping them sane was the thought of him, their beloved son Don Wei coming back, well admittedly coming back on his hands and knees after that no good whore Maya had left him, but still coming home to them. But when they heard of her death and he had still not come back home their sanity had begun to waver, only for them to think it was his pride, yes it was his pride keeping him from coming back to them. But eventually, that pride would ware away and their Don, their son would come home. But as the days turned into months and the months turned into years still, their son would not come back home and their sanity began to waiver. Even more so as they realized he began to look sicker and thinner, they kept track of his life and they noticed how he began to rapidly age. What had that whore done to him? And so when they finally reunited with their beloved son they would not let him go easily, not again, not anymore. Don shook his head, remembering the tale. His parents' sanity obviously began to slip when he left them. but he had no idea just how much it had slipped. Lihua's death probably made it worse, with a sigh he began training again. After a while he stopped and decided to go back to his room, knowing full well where Eva was and also knowing full well she wouldn't speak to him, years of neglect and abandonment and the weeks in Alwas and Oban had made her cold towards him. Her eyes would always look at him with distrust and hurt. Something that he found harder and harder to face. He knew full well she was with the baby, he also knew that somehow that Nourasian was sneaking in food for the baby. He heard by now that Nourasian babies could only eat a certain plant until they were one year old, it seemed that was true for half nourasians. Where Eva's breast milk was going since it wasn't feeding the baby... he didn't want to think about.

As he reached his room, he looked at the mirror and found that within a month his appearance had greatly changed. He had been working out more, so his body had returned to what it was before Maya had died, that of someone that though not buff had a toned athletic body that stated they were fit. He used to train in Martial arts when Maya was alive and before he met Maya, his parents had him train with Shaolin monks ever since he was 8 so he had grown a nice athletic body which he had lost after Maya's death. Apparently he had nothing else to do but work out, his parents not letting him outside, not letting him work with his company (he wondered how it was) since they didn't want to be reminded of his wife and his daughter who hated him shunned his company and he didn't want to talk to his parents who had trapped him and Eva so the only way to relieve the stress was to work out. Apparently it had gained back the body he had lost after Maya's death, he looked at the abs Maya would lovingly trace her fingers on during their sex life, he also noticed he looked a great 20 years younger, the wrinkles of age had gone away and his hair had grown back to the black shade it was before Maya's death. Apparently not working did wonders for him. He also noticed that his hair had grown longer, it was now shoulder length. The same length it was when he had cut ties with his parents. He had cut his hair when he eloped with Maya due to the fact he needed to look more businesslike due to not having as many connections when he lost his parents' influence. His parents probably preferred he looked like this, to the way he looked before he left them, it helped them pretend he never left. Only Eva's presence ruined that fantasy. It was an understatement to say his parents resented Maya and Eva. No the accurate thing to say was they blamed the two for subsequently "ruining" his future. The only reason they kept Eva at bay was because the only other option was to give her to the nourasians. No boarding school would take a girl who'd given birth to the child of a lapdog of a Krog, and he made it clear to his parents he would never forgive them if they just threw her to the streets. he sighed as he got ready to take a nice long soothing bath, only for his mother to appear. Her grey eyes looking at him with utter kindness as she smiled. There was insanity in those eyes as well, but that he was partly to blame for it. Li-Feng Wei came to her son, all gentleness and with a smile and voice filled with utter sweetness and warmth asked him. "How are you doing sweetheart?"

"Fine mother." Was his reply. But he knew she could sense the sort of dead loneliness in his voice. She smiled sickeningly sweet, as he knew what she was going to say, she always said it nearly every day ever since she trapped them here. It was almost a mantra for her. "Don, if you're lonely you could always remarry, I know several women from good families who are more than interested in you." He faked a smile. He knew his mother loathed Maya and wanted a daughter-in-law that fitted her ideal, that of a traditional modest woman. That and she wanted a grandchild who wasn't Eva. He also knew he was feeling lonely, but sadly she was incorporating the loneliness wrongly, why he was feeling lonely wasn't because of lack of a wife, but because he daughter Eva ignored him the way he ignored her for years. He felt the pain he caused her. Sighing he told his mother yet again, "Mother, I told you over and over I'm not interested in remarrying." Li-Feng looked at him before pursing her lips and sighing. "Don, you deserve so much more than that whore." Sighing he looked around wondering how long they were going to be trapped here. Obviously his mother wasn't planning on letting them go anytime soon.
