Chapter 1 My Secret

• Beep. Beep.
• The mobile phone on top of the basin vibrated and displayed a message notification.
• Arriving in three minutes. Get ready.
• I turned off my phone screen and reached out to wipe off the mist from the mirror.
• My face was red after a hot shower but my heart was in pain as though it had been sunk in an ice bath.
• Who would have thought that a married woman such as myself would be waiting for a stranger's touch in a hotel room?
• I hate it!
• The hatred of betrayal from my husband, Feng Shi, and even so for being blinded by love. The worst of them all was that I could not upkeep my parents' inheritance.
• If that person is able to help me get back all that I've lost, there's no big deal in sacrificing my body, right?
• Clicking sounds could be heard as the room door got opened. I took my eyepatch and wore them over my eyes.
• Click.
• The sounds of the door closing and footsteps walking closer towards the bathroom could be heard.
• As the footsteps got closer, I couldn't help but shake from my nervousness. While at that, wondering why that guy would request me to cover my eyes.
• Is it because he's old and ugly? Or maybe, he's someone I know?
• The more I thought about it, the more scared and curious I am. My head was in a mess which somehow caused my heart to race heavily as well.
• But the promise he made to me somehow calmed my nerves and stopped my negative thoughts.
• I straighten my back and leaned against the basin.
• “Ha...”
• A chuckle could be heard as I felt his presence in the bathroom. Unknowingly, I started to step back which almost made me trip over the bath towel.
• “Ah!”
• Right then, an arm reached over my waist, preventing my fall. Followed immediately after, I was swept off my feet.
• I reached out to his collar and felt the sensation of his muscles running down the tip of my fingers.
• “Wait for me on the bed next time.”
• His domineering tone together with his manly hot breath next to my ear sent shivers down my spine.
• I was placed softly on top of the bed before he started moving his hands up the skirt that he chose for me.
• His finger hooked on to the ribbon around my waist and went on to untie and undress me. “Are you cold?”
• I bit my lips and shook my head.
• A cold breeze wrapped around my body as my skirt got taken off. But instead of chills, I felt hot.
• His gaze and wandering fingers were like the flame, lighting up every inch of my body.
• The man continued his unprecedented ways to conquer my fortress while leaving marks all over my body.
• Never had I felt this sensation before in my three years of marriage. I never knew sex could be so tormenting yet satisfying. While I was still immersed in the pleasure, he left.
• Only when a message notification sound was heard then I awoke from my senses.
• Taking off my eye patch, I reached out for my phone at the bedside table. There was an unread message: The cheque is on the dressing table.
• Soreness was all over my body. But I endured it and made my way towards the dressing table. A blank cheque could be seen laying on top.
• A blank check...
• As I picked up the cheque, tears started rolling down my cheeks.
• Never would Feng Shi have guessed that a body he scorned still had a price tag for it.
• If dad and mom were still around and found out that I sold my body, it'd probably drive them mad.
• But if mom is still here, Feng Shi would never push me to the edge of no return...
• Just when my head was in the cloud, the phone rang. Looking at the caller ID, I wiped my tears off.
• Once the call got connected, Feng Shi's sound could be heard.
• “Ye Huan, the charity auction is going to start in two hours. If you sign on the divorce papers, I might consider keeping your mother's favorite jade earrings. If not, ...”
• “If not, you're going to auction it off?” I scoffed while interrupting him. “Feng Shi, I will not sign those divorce papers. Not today, nor tomorrow! As long as I'm alive, Lin Luoluo can only be a mistress!”
• I trembled with anger as I hung up Feng Shi's phone.
• The moment I caught Feng Shi and Lin Luoluo right in the act, I really wanted to kill them.
• I want revenge! I want revenge! I want revenge!
• As hatred grew wildly within me, my emotion gradually became calm instead.
• A smirk appeared on my face while I looked into the mirror and found the pair of swollen eyes of mine.
• Be it body or soul, I'd do anything to retaliate against Feng Shi and Lin Luoluo's betrayal. Even if it was going to take my life.
