With those dream shattering words, Ana started to feel the tears rolling down her face, and she realised that nothing would be the same in her life. She figured that staying there was not worth loosing any more face in front of Jinhu and his parents. Her shoulders slumped, and she started to drop her head, so she did not have to look anyone in they eye.

As Anna started to turn to walk away, and try to retain what little dignity she had, she heard Jinhu, continue to talk. "Oh, by the way I have something else to tell you."

This made Anna pause and turn back to look at Jinhu, while trying to stop the tears. She looked at him and could see a look of triumph on his face, like he had done something else. Her fears were confirmed as Jinhu continued "Oh by the way, forget about your a.s.sets in Australia. Once I received my Australian Citizens.h.i.+p a few weeks ago, I made sure that all the a.s.sets in your name were transferred to me, including your retirement savings (Superannuation). You have no a.s.sets and no way to get them back. I made sure that the transfer was watertight, and you cannot claim that I used that Power of Attorney you gave me to deal with bills in your name to try and get anything back. The Legal System accept my claims, as everything appears to have your signature on it, and you do not have the money to fight me to get it back, particularly as all the debt a.s.sociated with the a.s.sets still remains in your name."

Jinhu, took a breath "And forget about making any claim against my a.s.sets here, as the law says that because you are not a citizen, and we did not have a relations.h.i.+p recognised here, that you cannot claim anything or own any a.s.sets."

Anna was stunned at what was coming out of Jinhu's mouth and could not say anything.

Yang Lin continued, smugly "Thank you by the way for the lovely apartment you have given us, and the fact that you will be paying to loan on it, so we do not have financial worries. I have arranged for people to pack the trash that is your personal belongings, and Jinhu has arranged for them to be taken away and stored. All at your cost, of course. Plus, we have changed the locks, so you cannot enter it."

"Why?"

Jinhu, promptly answered "I needed someone who was gullible from the outset. You believed me since the time we met, and I could get what I needed from you, without you knowing. I obtained my Australia Citizens.h.i.+p, without losing my citizens.h.i.+p here, which means that our family business can own the a.s.sets that it needs in Australia without significant financial impacts on it. Given I have citizens.h.i.+p I do not need to carry on the charade that I have for years, and can do what I was always meant to do and marry Yang Lin."

Jinhu paused for a second and continued "Get out of our sight now. You have one minute to leave, otherwise my in-laws, who by the way are party officials and work for the government, will have you arrested. Here is a return plane ticket, for a flight tomorrow morning. If you are not gone from here within 24 hours my in-laws will use all their abilities to have you arrested for being illegally in the country. Your hotel room has been cancelled, and the hotel have packed you stuff. You better collect it and get away from me."

Yang Lin, then threw at Anna's feet, some cash stating "Wh*re's are always paid so here is your payment. It is the only cash that you will get, and I know you have nothing else, as Jinhu has taken the money that was in your account, as he should."

Anna stood there in shock at what was being said, tears rolling down her face. He bent down and picked up the ticket that had been thrown at her feet also. She had her pride and said "I will not take your money."

"You better, as that is all you will ever get from me" came the harsh words from her beloved Jinhu, "As I said that is all the money you have".
