His Perfect Wife Strikes Back 62 Forget Him
I wake up in the middle of the night and the person next to me is gone. So I sat up and saw Daley standing in front of the window with his back to me smoking. The white moonlight fell on his perfect side face, and he smoked slowly and sadly. He put on his trousers but his upper body was bare.I grabbed a sheet and wrapped it around my body. I walked slowly toward him with my bare feet on the ground. When I came up behind him, he turned to me with a cigarette between his fingers."Would you like some?" He said, handing me his cigarette.I took a puff from the cigarette and handed it back to him. I stood at his side, looking out of the window into the distance. The night was so quiet that the deep sound of the tide could be heard. The breeze carried the salty smell of the sea to every corner."I want some more." I seemed addicted to his cigarettes, and when the smoke poured down my throat and into my lungs, I felt a joy I had never felt before."What is Frade's relationship with you?" H
His Perfect Wife Strikes Back 63 To The Dock, Quickly!
When I woke up the next day, there were two flowers on the head of my bed. A white rose and a poppy. There is still crystal-clear water on the petals. Two flowers intertwined, the petals in full bloom as if smiling at me.Daley's not with me. I can't even remember when he left. I was tired last night. I woke up feeling as if I were drunk and my head was still in a daze.Rita brought me breakfast. She came into the room with a dark and silent face. She put the breakfast tray on the table and turned away. I don't understand why she is so cold to me. I feel a little guilty. Did she suspect an unusual relationship between me and Daley? Was she jealous?Since the windows were not closed in time last night, there were traces of rain on the window frames and the floor. I went out to the balcony and looked at the gray sky. It was only one night, and the temperature seemed to drop sharply. The wind blew from the window and I couldn't help wrapping my arms around myself.It's cold.I had a cup

"Stop!" I said to the driver.The driver pulled over under a tree on the side of the road. I held a knife to his neck with one hand and reached for the keys with the other."Stay in the car!" I threatened the driver.He sat in the driver's seat. I quickly opened the door and got out of the car and immediately pressed the car's lock button. I glanced at the driver and mouthed an apology to him.He shook his head at my behavior. I put the keys on the hood of the car and immediately turned and ran to the dock.A gloomy sky hung over the land, and the blue water turned dark blue in the light of the sky. I quietly followed a porter to the ship. The man in the gray tattered T-shirt was carrying heavy loads on his shoulders. He looked down at the road and didn't realize that someone was following him. Not until he put down the goods did he see that I had entered the warehouse. The man looked surprised before he could speak. Another man's voice came."Hey, you! What are you doing here?" A gru

Daley was silent the whole way home, and we sat in the car at arm's length. The driver was the same one in the baseball cap. He glanced at us through the rearview mirror and gave us an inscrutable smile.Maybe even the driver guessed my relationship with Daley. He or Rita must have called Daley, and it's a good thing Daley saved me from that Monster Spencer. Unfortunately, I was back on Pudding Island. I can not escape from the haze of the island.The entire exchange lasted less than five minutes. But the truth is that the scaredy-cat Spenser was scared out of his wits as soon as he heard Daley's name. He personally untied my hands and asked me not to tell Daley what he and the sailors had done to me."You didn't get hurt at all, did you?" Spencer begged me. "I was just trying to help you out. You've been in the cargo hold since you got on the ship. Nothing happened, and you haven't seen the rest of the crew."I heard a strong desire to survive in his voice, and I could see that he wa

"Where are you taking me?" Even in doubt, I grabbed my coat from the bedside and put it on.“You think I've poisoned your mind with o.pium, and now I want you to see your heart clearly,” Daley said. “The rain has stopped. Don't you want to go out and get some fresh air?”"Going out for fresh air at a time like this?" I glanced behind him. It was dark outside, and the air was damp."But it sounds good."I changed and went downstairs to find Daley wearing a long-sleeved shirt and a long backpack behind him. It's a good thing he wasn't wearing that long white coat tonight, or I would have thought he was going to ask me to be part of his death trial again.The night wind blew in my face. I couldn't help shivering. Daley drove me out of his house in his car. We were silent on the road as the car rolled slowly down the road. The road was dark on both sides and the wind rustled the leaves.There are no street lights on the island at night, so we have to rely on car lights. I sat in the passe

I follow the direction of the sound and look for prey along the way. I deliberately slowed down as I approached the sound. I started to learn to look around like Daley.A fog gathered, blocking my view, and the starlight suddenly dimmed. My eyes could only see the dim shadows of the trees. Daley crept up on me. He leaned into my ear and whispered."Listen with your ears," he said.I close my eyes and listen carefully. The noise was near, but I couldn't tell which way it was going. Daley tapped me on the shoulder and then looked right in front of me.In the dark grass came the cry of an animal, followed by a barking dog. Then came the sound of a brief animal scuffle. My eyes were fixed on the sounds, and this time I was sure they were there.Daley handed me his shotgun, which I carefully moved in the direction of the sound. Then a sudden night breeze blew over my ear. The cold wind cut into my neck and made me feel a chill.The wind dispersed the mist among the trees, and the stars wer

The moment he spoke, my heart broke. He saw right through my deepest secrets. His intelligence terrifies me, and his eyes burn in the dark like the fires of Hell. He wants to burn me, and then slowly devour my body and soul."Get away from me." I turned my back on him, and with every deep breath I took, the cold, damp fog went straight from my nose to my throat and into my heart. It was complete coldness, a torment of fire and ice."Eva, it's time to face your heart," he said, his voice trailing behind me like a strong rope around my body. I wanted to run away, but my feet could only freeze in place.No, I could have turned around and left. I could have resisted him in silence, but I couldn't. For so long, no one knew what I had lost, not even Frade could understand me.Why him?"Eva," he says softly as he walks over to me. I can feel the weight of his hands on my shoulders."So that's why you have the death list, isn't it? They didn't just hurt you, but they hurt your baby" His tone
His Perfect Wife Strikes Back 69 Do You Want To Go Home?
Soon Daley killed his enemies on the island. I can't remember their names. But many people said the same thing to him before they died. "Puddin' island will never be left to outsiders.""I am already a king," he said as he killed his last enemy.Until one day, when he was out with me, I found that everyone we met was respectful to him. Then I understood what he meant.He got pudding and everyone was afraid of him.It made me wonder how he would react if I asked him again to let me go? Is he still gonna say yes?If he says no, will he kill me?I was very careful around him. Sometimes, in the middle of the night, he would sneak into my room. Every time I would pretend to be asleep. I thought he would do something terrible to me. But he just ran his gentle fingers across my cheek and left with a sigh.Every morning, there is still a fresh white rose with dew on my bed. We didn't have s.ex again. Did we all stay sane without o.pium?I don't know when there seems to be a wall between me an
