It was late autumn.

I had just finished dinner and was watching TV with Dave sitting at the other end reading a book.

He patted the sofa beside him and said, "Put your feet here."

"What's wrong?" I looked at him suspiciously.

"Put your feet here." He repeated without answering me.

I hesitated for a moment but still did as I was told.

After, Dave sat down beside me and placed my feet on himself.

"What are you doing?"

I was surprised and wanted to pull my feet but Dave held my feet tightly and warned, "Don't move. Otherwise, you will regret it."

"Don't do this. My feet are cold."

I knew how cold my feet were and I was very embarrassed as my feet directly touched his abdominal muscles through his shirt.

"Why didn't you tell me your hands and feet get cold during winter?"

I didn't respond but the next day, when Dave picked me up after I got off work, he didn't take me back to my place, instead he took me to another building in the same unit but a little distance from my apartment.

    I realized my face was covered with my hands and feet tied to the chair.I tried to move and suddenly heard footstep. I shouted subconsciously, "Help!""Help? Hahaha!" A woman's voice rang and it was a voice I would never forget.I couldn't help but feel my flesh creep. "Mrs. Boone." I called out with my voice trembling.She was the head of the gang sisters who had abused me in prison. This woman was the cause of all my pain."Not bad. You still remember me. I heard you are living a good life now. You live in a big house. In that case, how can you forget sorting me out?"As soon as she spoke, all the painful memories in prison came back.As my head was covered and all I could see was pitch black darkness, fear rose in my heart.I begged, "Mrs. Boone, I'll give you anything. Anything at all. Please let me go..."I was scared out of my wits at this time."Let you go? You are day dreaming! Since you are here, there's no way you will be leaving here alive." She paused and added, "But befo

    "Lita Defiant! I'm saving those photos on a cloud drive. If I don't log on the cloud within the next few hours, those photos will automatically be uploaded onto domestic forums..... Ah!"I yelled out loud but before I could finish my words, someone had kicked me in the stomach.I was in pain as I curled up on the ground, repeating the same words hoping Lita would hear me."What are you yelling for?"They all came over and began kicking and hitting me. The stench of blood in my mouth getting stronger and stronger.I started to feel my limbs going numb because of the pain. Lying on the ground, I dared not move at all.The most ridiculous thing about all this was me thinking about Dave Mitaka. I thought if I could make it out of here, Dave and I would get along with each other since we were already on good terms.Lita seemed to have heard what I said because Mrs. Boone repeated exactly what I had said. After a while, she said to the ones hitting me, "Stop hitting her. Can you afford to

    They came back and tortured me the same way they had done in prison but this time, they beat me up more unscrupulously. As I curled up in the cage, they held candles in their hands above the cage and let the wax drip down into the cage.I could only keep dodging, but end up getting burnt from time to time.Later, they changed the candles to cigarettes then knives. It was just like they were playing a game.No matter how hard I tried to dodge, I would be hurt.My body was cut by the knives and my clothes was soaked in blood.Fearing that I would die from loosing too much blood, they stopped torturing me.I lay in the cage in a twisted position. Although I was not badly hurt, I felt pain all over my body.It was already late at night. I felt uncomfortable and couldn't fall asleep when I heard Mrs. Boone making a phone call.I couldn't tell who she was talking to but judging from her tone, it sounded like she was coaxing a child.A child? I found this idea ridiculous. For a woman like M

    I was not seriously injured. My wounds were all superficial and would healed soon. Fortunately, although Dave had been shot, the bullet only grazed his skin. His organs were fine but he needed to rest.On the second day after I was admited, a detective came over for my statement and I told him everything.Thinking of everything I had suffered recently and that Lita had made me lose my baby, I decided I would not let her go this time.I told him all I had suffered in prison in a somewhat exaggerated tone and at the same time showed him the scars.It could be seen that he somewhat sympathized with me after seeing the scars.Taking advantage of his softheartedness, I told him everything about what had happened after I was released asking him to investigate whether it had anything to do with Lita. In the end, I asked him to keep the progress of the investigation a secret from everyone else.I feared someone would some how intervene with the investigation.He hesitated for a moment but ag

    Lita's words made me ascertain that the Detective didn't tell her anything and Dave was busy with the affairs of his company so he also didn't have any idea about what I had going on.It seems I will be making her pay for what she has done this time.Without further ado, I hung up the phone.Although I knew Lita would get her retribution soon, my heart was still in a mess after all, she had answered my call, proving that Dave was with her.In the afternoon of the next day, the Detective called and notified me that Lita had been arrested from her studio earlier. Lita had said a lot of arrogant words in front of the police but facing the evidence, she had to confess what she had done.Lita was detained and was not going to be released due to the seriousness of her crime.How familiar this plot was! It was me who had been detained those two previous times and now is her time.The second day after she was arrested, I went to see her.When Lita saw me, she rushed up and yelled angrily but

    Although I drove Helen and Thomas away once, it didn't mean that I could live a comfortable life.Other relatives of the Defiant Family, who had never contacted me before, also called me several times. I didn't know their identities and answered their calls.Only after I picked up their calls did I know they were relatives of the Defiant Family.In the years when I was in Defiant Family, they didn't even say a word to me, let alone getting along with me. However, at this time, for Lita, they all tried to play up to me, hoping I would make peace with Lita outside court.It was impossible for me to agree with their requests.After I hung up the phone, I blacklisted all the numbers one by one.I only care about one person in the Defiant Family.In the end, Judith called me in person.When I received Judith's call, I couldn't help but feel nervous. Knowing that I surely couldn't hang up her call, I answered.Judith chatted with me for a while over the phone then she asked if I had time at

    Dave caught up with me, pulled me back down the stairs, and pressed me against the wall. Burying his head in my neck and pressing his thin lips against my ears, he said slowly, "Withdraw the complaint, okay?"This time, it was clear he spoke in a gentle tone.There was even pleading in his tone.I closed my eyes, clenched my hands into a fist, and pressed them against the wall, "It's impossible. Unless I die."My answer was still the same."I knew all about your investigation earlier. I know you hate her. You are angry and you want to take revenge in this way. I understand your feelings so I never intervened in this matter, allowing the police to investigate. Now, she has been in the detention center for a month... If you think it's not enough, I can help her make it up to you."Hearing him, I was infuriated. "Make it up to me for her? Why do you have to do that for her?"I pushed Dave away. Looking at him, my heart hurt so much.I seemed to have realized something, "I get it. You w

    After the phone connected, I said briefly, "I'll withdraw my case."The one over the phone was silent at first. After a while, I heard him say "Okay.""However, I have two conditions.""Name them.""First of all, you can't do anything to the orphanage and Haick Design.""Okay.""Secondly, I want a divorce."I had already figured it out. However much I loved Dave, Dave would only have Lita on his mind and in his heart. In that case, I shouldn't hold onto those unrealistic illusions anymore.Dave had never fallen in love with me. From the beginning to the end, he was always in love with Lita Defiant.Originally, I thought Dave would agree with my request without hesitation but there was silence instead.After a long while, Dave said, "I won't agree with the second one."I was a little surprised. "There are two conditions. Both of them are indispensable. At present, Mr. Mitaka, you'd better consider whether to save your lover or not. Enough with this painful marriage""Is our marriage a

    By the time Kelvin, Jessica, and I arrived at the underground garage together, Marie had parked her car there. We got in the car, successfully bypassed the reporters from the exit of the underground garage, and stopped at the residential quarter where Kelvin had rented.Kelvin wasn't short of money. Although he didn't live here, he rented a large house with three bedrooms and one living room which was equipped with luxurious decoration and well equipped furniture.Jessica was very quiet along the way as if she knew what had happened. And it probably was because she knew that we were good to her that she was very cooperative.She did whatever we asked her to do.Wherever she went, she held the doll tightly in her arms.In the hospital, Jessica was always taken care of by nurses.

    Holding the cell phone tremblingly a little, I said, "You... You are despicable!""Well, I admit it." Oogway said in a lazy voice, "I'll wait and see how you will deal with this farce."After that, he hung up the phone.Looking at the screen of my cell phone, I was in a mess.How could this be? I suddenly felt that I seemed to have been played hard by Oogway.Most ridiculously, I had sympathized with him.Marie sat aside and looked at me, asking with concern, "What happened? What did he say?""He said he would wait and see how I would deal with this farce," I said.As I repeated Oogway's words, it was as if I could imagine the expression on Oogway's face.He should look playful and mocking.He should find it quite interesting to have played me at his fingertips, right?Ding!Ding!Ding!My cell phone rang. Among the three people who knew my number, one of them would never call me. So only the other two would call me.I took a look at it and saw that the caller was Dave.I picked up t

    Time passed by.At this time, the sound of a car suddenly came from the door. Then I heard the sound of someone opening the door with a key.All of a sudden, Oogway straightened up and stepped backward slightly.Looking at me, he raised his hand and gently touched the top of my head with his big and bony palms, saying lightly, "I'm sorry."Looking as gentle as usual, he curled up the corner of his mouth and put on a faint smile.After saying these words, he turned around and walked away.The door opened with Marie and Dave standing at the door.When the two of them saw Oogway, they immediately looked inside. Seeing that I stood there intact, they seemed to be relieved.Without saying anything, Oogway passed by the two of them and directly left.Soon, he disappeared into the night.Dave came in and glanced at the cell phone on the sofa. Walking up to me, he asked nervously, "Did he do anything to you?""No." I shook my head.Thinking of Oogway's words just now, I couldn't be more emoti

    After confirming that he was still drunk, I felt a little glad in my heart. However, I was a little nervous as well, fearing that it would be a trap.As I was worried about what Oogway would do next, he suddenly sat up from the sofa with a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth, tilting his head, "See? After leaving me, you are living a good life. So, no one needs me.""It is not like this," I said subconsciously.However, I didn't know why Oogway would suddenly say this.Oogway had a completely blurred look in his eyes. He raised his head and looked up in my direction. It was unknown whether he was looking at me or not. Moving his lips slightly, he said, "Sure enough, no matter where I am, I'm redundant. No one will like me. Do you know? In fact, when I was young, my mother often scolded me.""She scolded me for being a good for nothing, saying that I didn't have the ability to make my father stay with us and that I couldn't do anything well. So I had been more conscientious than

    There was a photo of what she had worn that day, revealing her bloody crotch.In her posts, Emily complained about her miserable situation and accused Oogway.Word by word, she recalled all she had experienced in her posts, including why she had worked as a maid in Oogway's house, how Oogway had deceived her and taken away her virginity step by step, and how he had asked others to abort her child after she got pregnant.I read the posts roughly and realized that Emily was on her own and no one was behind her.Emily, who wasn't a good writer, complained, failing to convert her meaning articulately.Moreover, she didn't know that she should divert the public's attention and mislead them. Therefore, among the comments below her posts, although some were about scolding Oogway, the ones scolding both Oogway and her made up the most part.Most of the comments read as below."Mistress! You reaped what you sowed!""You are a mistress. In that case, before being beaten up to death, everything

    The result of Bryan's body check would come out about an hour later. Callen looked through it once and told us with certainty, "All the indexes of this kid indicate that he is quite healthy for the time being."Hearing what she said, I was finally at ease in my heart.Callen paused as if she wanted to say something further. However, Dave suddenly stood up, saying, "That's good. We can leave now."Realizing that Callen had something to say, I continued to ask her, "Is there any other problem with him?"Callen seemed to get Dave's point, saying, "No. However, you'd better bring him here to do a body checkup every year. If I'm still here, I can do it for you for free."Knowing that Callen wouldn't say anything if I pursued my question, I had to give up.After that, we took Bryan to the Dinosaur Museum. Rushing through the huge Dinosaur skeletons, Bryan enjoyed himself so much. While Bryan was chatting with the commentator, I saw that Dave was reading texts on his cell phone and got cl

    As I looked at Oogway, the scenes where he had been kind to Bryan kept flashing across my mind.In my opinion, no matter how perverted someone was, he shouldn't have done this.He shouldn't have gone so far as to do something to a child.Thinking of this, I shook my head and stepped back to Dave's side. Looking at Oogway, I said, "I bet on the remaining 50% probability. I bet that you didn't do anything to Bryan!"Hearing what I said, Oogway smiled in satisfaction and nodded. "Okay, you can go."Seeing him like this, I was frightened. Even so, I knew that I shouldn't lose my nerves and that I should stick to my choice.Bryan's smiling face kept flashing across my mind. What if something indeed happened to my cute child within a few years?Dave knew what I was thinking.He pulled my hand and whispered in my ear, "Don't be afraid. I promise you that nothing will happen to Bryan. Just follow me.""I... "I looked at Oogway. And I saw that the look in his eyes indicated that he was happy

    Looking at me, Oogway said calmly, "You can bear a child for me, can't you?""I..." I hesitated for a moment, feeling messy in my heart.Dave, who had been standing on the side, stood up and pulled me, "Oogway, you can't force others to love you. Don't you know about this?"As Oogway and Dave both pulled me, the bodyguards beat Emily so hard that she looked to be in pain.Seeing the situation on my side, she looked ferocious and said to Oogway, "Master, Master, please don't beat me. It is your child in my belly. Don't you remember that you hugged me in your arms and told me that you loved me? Are those words all fake? I gave my virginity to you. Why..."Oogway looked at her and said lightly, "Oh, the one I love is Eunice."Hearing his brief words, I got his point immediately.Staring at Oogway, I said, "You love Eunice Stanton. Emily is a substitute for Eunice?"Oogway looked at me with surprise in his eyes. Soon, he became gentle, saying, "Don't think too much. It's you that I love."
