In the vast stretch of green land under a red sky with clouds, a woman stood before the other smiling woman with two more people behind her smiling and laughing at the injured woman before them.

And for some reason, their faces were all blurry.

The woman who was wearing a green robe and a flower crown on her head smirked as she raised her hand, "I am going to send you to eternal damnation, you demon..."

She said as she gathered the energy from around that became a golden light in her hand before throwing it on the already injured woman.

"NO!"

Ziyi's eye suddenly opened before she sat straight on the chair.

She was alone in the house and was sitting at the dining table where she had fallen asleep she rubbed her eyes as she heard the doorbell ring.

Ziyi slowly got up from the chair and walked to the door and once she opened it she was met with a smiling man, "Hello Mrs. Wang My name is Marius. Marius Jiang."

Ziyi who had just woken up from a deep sleep was still a little dizzy as she stood at the entrance and stared at Marius with no expression at all on her face and even Marius who stood there with a smile after a few seconds felt the awkwardness between them.

Marius cleared his throat and spoke again, "I heard that you needed a house helper. I am sent here by the agency you contacted."

Ziyi stared at him for some time before she nodded and moved to the side, making way for Marius to come in.

Marius pressed his lips together before he came inside this eerie-looking and god knows how old building.

He sighed, his poor mate must be bored after staying alone, and it also seems like she does not like to talk at all, which was going to be trouble for a chatterbox like him.

"You can start by cleaning the hall and the kitchen." Ziyi finally spoke as she came beside him and that was sudden that he became quite shocked for a split second, "Is there anything else?" 

Ziyi thought about it for a second before she said, "the garden."

Her voice was so robotic and emotionless and Marius felt like he was talking to a doll and that made him uncomfortable for some reason, her eyes were really hollow and they looked dead.

"What about the garden?" Marius asked.

"Clean it as well. The overgrown grasses and other unwanted things should be gone," she said as she looked at Marius who nodded.

Ziyi yawned again and stretched her limbs as she closed her eyes and stumbled back, Marius raised his hand and grabbed her hand before immediately letting go, "I am sorry, but are you okay?"

He asked and Ziyi nodded, "I am fine just tried." she said before she went to the dining table and sat down on the chair and put her head down on the table, and went to sleep.

While Marius just watched her, for some reason he felt that something was not normal with her.

However he didn't want to think bad about his mate so he kept his hands on his waist and sighed as he looked around, life is weird, like the second in command of the strongest pack has to work as a labor.

Marius smiled before he shook his head, "well anything for the mate." he said before he got to work.

~~~

It was so dark here, and so cold all she could see was just darkness and nothing around her, that is before she heard a voice calling her.

"Mrs. Wang..."

"Mrs.. Wang..."

"Mrs. Wang?!" Ziyi slowly opened her eyes again only to see Marius before her looking at her with a smile, "everything is done you can look around."

Ziyi however sat straight and instead of looking around she stared at Marius, "What are you doing here?"

Marius's smile vanished from his face before he coughed and said, "What... are you talking about..."

However, Ziyi suddenly stood up and walked to him and came very close to him Marius's eyes widened as Ziyi's cold face came near him and her eyes stared at him as if looking into his soul.

"Marius Wang... or should I say, Cheng?"

Marius's eyes widened, Cheng was his nickname that only his family and close friends use how come Ziyi knew about it.

Ziyi then raised her hand it looked like she was about to hit him so out of reflex Cheng grabbed her hand and as soon as he does he felt as if he was electrified, his nerves felt tingles and he felt shivers run down his spine.

What the hell?

He thought as he let go of her hand, he did not feel this before when he had touched her hand then why now?

So he looked at her again and this time with a hint of seriousness, "how come you know that name?"

Ziyi yawned again as she sat on the chair before she looked at Marius and smirked, this time her face had some expression and her eyes didn't look dead, "fatty, chubby bubby, why are you so fat? your family must be starving because you eat all their share, you are making this earth sink, damn I can't even breathe beside you, because it seems that you are inhaling all the air into this ballon size body of yours."

Marius's face became paler and paler, as his eyes widened and realization dawned upon him his heart clenched, "you... you are that..."

Ziyi smiled, "you finally remember now? The fat student you bullied?"

~~

Marius has never been a good person.

Never.

He wasn't born evil though, he was more like a gray person, and the sort of people he hated the most were weak and pushover doormats.

And when he was in school there was such a person in the school in his class, that very person was a very fat and chubby girl, the girl was so fat that everyone always made fun of her however she was kind to everyone.

She would share her notes with them she would share her things and sometimes food with them too and those people, would never thank her because they took her as their slave and would demand things from her and order her around and the girl who was afraid to be isolated or left alone would always listen to them.

And Marius hated her because of this, the more he saw that girl being used around and not being able to say no, and sitting at her place while looking down as everyone made fun of her was very irritating to watch.

Was being alone worse than being insulted and used like a doormat?

How hard was it to say no? How hard was it to walk away, how hard was it to be alone, Marius was sure that it wasn't as hard as enduring insults.

Then one day something weird happens to the fatty, it was one of those days when Marius was having a bad day and he saw the girls and boys bullying the fatty.

They took her notes and when the fatty asked them back, the girl said that they were left back at home, and because of that Fatty was punished and sent out of the class and if that was not enough these fuckers also took the fatty's lunch.

Marius felt more and more bubbling anger that was going to drive him insane as he watched, the things going on in his class, the fatty just had to say no, just walk away! stop enduring this!

For god's sake ask for help!

However the fatty did nothing instead she smiled, she god damned smiled and all the limits were crossed the class monitor said to the fatty, "hey,  fatty can you tie my shoe laces please?"

Marius sat straight when he heard that, there was no way absolutely no way that this bubble would do this right?

She has to have that much respect, no way.

However Marius's eyes widened when he saw the fatty bent down and she was actually going to tie her shoe laces, his eyes widened, and when he saw that fatty touch the shoe laces Marius's anger exploded and he banged his hand on the table as he stood up.

The sound was so loud that everyone looked at him and can see that he was fuming Marius glared at them before he walked towards the fatty who looked at him.

She was looking at him with the hope that maybe he might help her however all her hopes vanished when Marius took a water bottle from a random desk and opened it and threw the water at her face!

The fatty was shocked and Marius yelled, "I hate people like you so much! you fucking fat bitch! you deserve everything, fuck you!" He said before he walked away, and from that day Marius started saying hurtful words to her as well.

He would bump into her in the hallways and say that she was too fat and that she occupied so much space that no one else can walk, or sometimes he would take her notes as well and tear them.

Sometimes he would make her trip,in hopes that one day just one day she was going to yell at him one day she would turn around and slap him across the face or cry or report him, she would do something just something.

But no she remained a pushover till the end and Marius hated her. Until one day she was finally gone from his life.

~~~

Marius didn't even remember that girl's name however he never really forgot her, somewhere in his subconscious mind he always wondered what happened to that pushover.

And here was that pushover right in front of him looking at him with a smirk, Marius looked at her up and down and for a moment he thought that Ziyi was starved or what because she was so thin now.

So thin that she looked sick.

Marius's ideology had still not changed even now he hated the pushovers and door mates, he was a beast by nature and he has seen that only the strongest and the fittest survive in the world.

The weak with willpower can also survive however people who are pushovers and always wants others' validation and are always used and thrown and yet never learn their lessons always live a miserable life.

However now that he looks at his mate he feels complicated, is Ziyi still like that? a pushover? because if that was the case then he might have to work harder,

However, she looked and feel different.

After a long silence, Ziyi finally spoke, "What happened? why are you quiet? you never expected to see such transformation huh? Or is it that I still look ugly."

Marius came out of his trance and smiled, "you seem to misunderstand something I don't care how you look, your looks are of least importance to me both in present and in the past as well."

Ziyi looked at him, for some time before she smiled but her smile seemed bitter, "whatever." she said before she got up and looked around and was actually amazed that Marius had done everything

The hall was clean the furniture was all arranged and the kitchen was surprisingly arranged and even had all the ingredients and even the fridge was filled with vegetables and meat.

 What the hell?

She looked at Marius who had a proud smile on his face, "so, how is it?"

"Did you take someone's help?"

"Of course not, I did everything on my own."

Ziyi clenched her fists, "liar. get out."

"Woah, Woah, I am not lying really,"

"Fuck you, you are always lying." she said before she glared at him, "Leave I said your work is done."

"But what about the food? I can cook it."

"No need I will make my own food," she said and Marius sighed.

"Okay, okay I will leave for now." He said before he winked at her, "see ya."

While Ziyi just glared in his direction.

Author's note: Before any one of you misunderstand as Marius said here he never hated her because Ziyi was fat or anything her appearance never mattered and even in the present if she was fat Marius would not mind but what he hated about her was her personality.
