Chapter 3 Stay Away 1

• Father was stunned and he asked nervously, "Who are you referring to?"
• Who else?
• The blood jade ring hanging on my neck was glimmering after these two days. It seemed to came to 'life' after getting nourishment.
• "Qingxiao, try to talk to him... See what he wants."
• What he wants?
• I think he wanted me to die.
• The third night, I could no longer take in the torment. And so I gritted my teeth, pushed his shoulders and said in a quivering voice, "Can...can we talk please?"
• "Talk?" He sneered, "What do you want to talk about?"
• Even as he spoke, his movements did not stop. And my words were shattering under his merciless impacts.
• "You... what do you want... Ahh..." I mustered my courage and asked, "Did our family... did we offended you? Or did you... have any unfulfilled wish?"
• He laughed and stopped momentarily. And I caught my breath.
• "Posthumous wedding is between two dead persons... We... We are not suited." I was hinting that I am a live person, "You should find a suitable partner."
• Find a female ghost. Stop pestering me.
• "You would be a suitable partner when you die." He smiled and replied cruelly.
• Great grandfather mentioned that as an offering, I would be fated to die. The reason could be an accident or even suicide.
• Could there be no other way to end this? The marriage could only be completed by me dying?
• "I..." Hot tears flowed down my cheek.
• He laughed and continued, "Feeling unfair? You did nothing wrong and yet you were given to me as an offering."
• He raised his hand to pinch on my chin. His fingers were cold.
• "....Blame yourself for being born in the Guan family." All of a sudden his tone turned sinister and he sneered.
• There was absolutely nothing I could do but cry.
• Father asked me to talk to him. But how?
• The sin came from my birth. And there was nothing I could do about it.
• "Stop crying!" He roared agitatedly, "If I wanted you to die, I would've done it 2 years ago. You should be thankful!"
• What did that mean? That ridiculous wedding night, nightmares after nightmares and never-ending torment in the nights were all because of him. And I should be thankful to his 'grace'?
• "Then what do you want?" I couldn't stand it anymore and hammered his shoulders. But it was simply a tickle to him.
• I no longer had the strength to fight back.
• "Can it end with my death?!" I screamed, "Then I will do it myself. Will you let me go!?"
• I slid my hand under the pillow and drew out a scissor. It was known that putting a scissor under pillow could keep away from ghosts. But it did nothing on him.
• My action of stabbing myself with the scissor infuriated him. He flicked on my forearm and I felt a sharp pain. The scissor fell by the bedside.
• "I dare you to hurt yourself again!!" His wrath was like a chilling blizzard and it scrapped on my skin.
• "Guan Qingxiao, I am warning you now... If you are to hurt yourself, or take your own life, I will make sure to send utter despair to the Guan family!"
• He raised his hand and chocked on my neck. He didn't even grip hard but I felt a suffocating sensation.
• "Isn't the partner supposed to die in a posthumous marriage? Please... don't torture me like this..." I begged.
• "Torture?" He sneered and replied, "You think I am torturing you? Then there's nothing I could do. You are my wedded wife and it wouldn't change even if you're dead. Even if it's a torture you must stomach it! After seven days, I wouldn't even touch you even if you beg me! What a kill joy to do it with a dead fish!"
• Seven days?
• Four more days then...
• He grabbed on my waist furiously and vent his anger with his aggressive movements.
• I melted in despair on the bed.
• Am I dying?
• My consciousness left and I felt like a tiny boat riding on raging waves in the sea of desire.
• I was drowning.
• How did it feel to overindulge oneself?
• When I got down the bed, I was considering to take supplements to replenish my body. Otherwise I am positive that I wouldn't be able to last seven days.
• My lower body was in maximum discomfort. It was an inexplicable sore, numbness, swell, pain... I felt like dying. And my intimate part was feeling a burning sensation. As if every bone and muscle in my body were screaming in protest.
• For the past few days, he had left plenty in me. Then... should I take an after pill just in case?
• My mind was in a mess. I checked the time on my phone and after simple washing up, I left the room.
• This was my first year in college and today was the first day of school. If I were to be late on the very first day, I figure my tutor would be cross at me.
• My tutor was a part-time graduate and I recalled he seemed to be a nephew to the school leaders. It was common sight in college for part-time graduates to tutor for their majors.
• Ever since I participated in the catwalk doing orientation party, he had been aiming for chances to speak with me. He would get me in the staffroom from time to time and asked if I am interested to be the class monitor or something.
• I was always careful to maintain a distance away from him but today, I simply had no strength to hasten my steps. When I rushed to the classroom, I was late.
• The tutor laughed and announced in the classroom, "I am fairly open minded. For those who are late, leaving early or absent from class, they would need to do physical labors... Guan Qingxiao, come to my office after class."
• The student booed him. I lowered my head and sat beside Su Meng.
• Su Meng eye-rolled the tutor and whispered to me, "That crazy bastard, who didn't know his thoughts?! He were was addicted to the curves of your body! Your big breast, tight hips and slim waist... Be careful!"
• The class ended soon enough. Su Meng planned to accompany me to the staffroom but she was summoned by the student council in last minute. In the end, I went alone.
• He was all alone in the staffroom and the other tutors had yet to return. Could the man have his own agenda for ending his class so early?
• He asked me to sit in front of his computer and key in student's data. And he stood very closely behind me, sometimes pretending to lean over.
• I wasn't an innocent girl. Two years ago the phantom had taught me all I needed to know between man-woman relationship.
• I rose and said, "It seems like you don't plan to let me work in peace. Then I shall leave first, you can look for other students to 'help'."
• He grabbed on my arm out of the blue and sneered, "Guan Qingxiao, I've been eyeing you for a long time. And there I thought you were an innocent girl.... But look at these marks! You must be having sex fiercely last night!"
• He pulled my shirt hard and my collar was to the point of my shoulder.
• My clavicle, neckline and even the upper place of my breasts had bruises all over.
• Those weren't kiss marks, but the bruises from his ruthless pinches.
• "Look at your charming body! You are nothing but a slut! And you've been having fun!" His breaths were getting rapid and he pounced over...
