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.
