SECRET MARRIAGE - Book 1 [LK Adaptation]

Li Yedam laughed, "Maybe because I'm just like you...."

"You..." Lalisa paused pointing at him, "You are an orphan too?"

Pouting a little he sighed, "Unfortunately, I don't have that kind of good luck"

Lalisa's eyes dimmed a little and she immediately scowled, "There nothing good about being an orphan." Only her heart knows how much she misses he real parents. How much she wants to find them as soon as possible.....

"But being an orphan is better than being related to the Li's" Li Yedam shrugged.

"That's for sure. They only know how to use others for their benefits. Li Yedam, if you are not an orphan then who are you? What is your connection to them?" she asked curiously.

"I want to know what do you think elder sister? Who am I? What is my purpose in telling you all of this? Do you think I am telling you the truth?"

"I don't know... Maybe I believe you or maybe I don't. What's your story?" Lalisa asked. As much as she knew the facts Li Yedam is Li Youbin's son. She is the only outsider who was used as a slave by the Li family.

If Li Yedam is not Li Youbin's son then he wouldn't have been treated so well. Li Youbin is a poisonous snake who only wants benefits for himself. And apart from that he won't be caring for anyone else.

And on what basis should she believe him. When she was being dragged and drugged in her past life, where was he? Why didn't he save her then?

When she was in that fire calling for help, where was he? In the end she died. So, whatever story he is going to create has to be a lie.

"Would you believe what If you told my story, elder sister? Would you believe me If I say I am not Li Youbin's son? Would you believe me if I say I not that self obsessed woman's twin? Would you?" he asked looking into her eyes.

"Honestly, no! I would never believe your words because I think this is a new trick of yours to trap me again... After all you have the Li's blood in you, how can you not be deceitful, malicious and cruel?"

"Oh!! C'mon.... Elder Sister first of all I'm not lying to you. And please don't mention me and that Li family in one sentence? I'm not that self obsessed woman who thinks that the whole world revolves around her. Just look at my face... From which angle do you think I look like her?"

Snorting Lalisa rolled her eyes, "Ofcourse you both won't alike. You both are fraternal twins...."

"And you believe that?" Li Yedam mockingly laughed.

"Then what it is? I'm curious Li Yedam, if what you are saying is the truth? Then who are you?"

"I can't deny that I have the Li family's blood in my veins but it's clearly not Li Youbin's. And elder sister my surname is not Li... "

"I am Gao Yedam...." he said proudly. His eyes teared a little when he said his name and a small smile crept onto his lips.

Gao Yedam?

Puzzled Lalisa looked at him, waiting for him to continue speaking. Taking a deep breath, Li/Gao Yedam opened the file which ge had taken out earlier and passed a picture to Lalisa.

Looking at the picture in her hand, Lalisa's eyes flashed a little. It was a very cute picture of a man and a woman holding a very cute little baby in their hands. Raising her eyebrows, Lalisa looked at Li Yedam.

"The baby in the picture is me. They are my real parents. Gao Kun my dad and Li Haoyan my mom, the younger sister of Li Youbin."

"Li Youbin had a younger sister?"

"Hmm... My parents died when I was a small baby. This company was started by my dad and was previously called the Gao Corparation but after their death it was changed to the Li Corparation "

"Elder sister, you know Li Youbin is such a greedy scum that he didn't even leave his own sister. He took me in when my parents died so that the company would be his. Elder Sister, you think he treats me well but that is only for this company.... "

"Why do think he never let me work in any project? I'm a CEO but just in name, elder sister. And I know that once this company reaches the top, he won't spare any means to destroy me and give everthing to that self obsessed bitchy witchy daughter of his."

On hearing Li Yedam's story, Lalisa was shocked to the core. She was completely speechless. If what Li Yedam said is true, then how much more despicable can Li Youbin really get?

"Elder Sister so.... do you believe me?" Li Yedam asked controlling his emotions. For anybody, speaking of the past is never easy but today he had to tell about everything to Lalisa.

After a long silence, Lalisa took a deep breath and asked, "How did you know the truth?"

"Well, four years ago a person claiming to be my uncle met me secretly and told me about all of this. At first, I didn't accept all of this but later I investigated, I found out some clues. That scum Li Youbin had hidden the information so well, that finding it was really a trouble for me but with my uncle's help I uncovered everything..."

"Since, then I am acting infront of them Elder Sister. And if you think clearly then you will notice that I was never involved in any schemes of the Li family. I always wanted to help you get out of this too, but you were so deeply attached to them that you never realised my clues...."

"And thank god, that you are finally clever so I decided why not work together. Let's be partner in this revenge..."

"You want to make them pay for what they did to you while I want them to suffer and get back what is mine. So, Elder Sister let's join hands and help each other. What do you think of this proposal?"
