what

Tears streamed down a young lady's face like tap left undone. She knew that the light that had kept her from being swallowed by the dark was gone.

She sat on the cold floor as she stayed with her father's corpse, her knees hurt like hell but she couldn't find the courage to leave she knew that the moment her father was taken away it was over. Soon the night ended and the rest of the family came to "pay their respect".

"It's over now let's go back"said Qin Yumei. Ling Chuxi raised her head to look at the woman she once called her mother. Qin Yumei was a beautiful woman in her late forties her skin had a magical glow time had treated her well.

As Qin Yumei looked at Ling Yichen's picture her face was expressionless, she didn't look like a woman who had just lost her husband at all but for her she had been waiting for this day for as long as she could remember this man was finally gone.

Soon after, the man's body was taken to the cemetery to be buried and the funeral ended. As for Ling Chuxi her nightmare had just began because soon her uncle came to live with them because he said he had to protect them, with him was his two children a daughter named Ling Ruorou and a son called Ling Xiaoting .

Ling Ruorou really hated Ling Chuxi and she would yell at her every time they meet. It had been a few months since her father's death, the abuse that her father had once shielded she directly endured. She was treated like a slave.

That was until one day when her mother started to be very nice for no reason but soon the reason appeared. It was early Saturday and Qin Yumei had woken up Ling Chuxi because they were guests coming to visit them. The house was every lively as the maids walked up and down make preparations for the guest.

Soon the Butler came and announced that the Hale family had arrived. Qin Yumei said"Hello welcome to our home please come this way "she was very careful not to make any slip ups. "Good morning to you too thank you for having us" said Master Hale .

Master Hale was a very good looking man in his early fifties, he had a gently and soothing aura around him that made everyone want to get close to him. Behind him was his son Langston Hale he was a man that would make one run with just one look from him. He was cold and his face was always grim like someone owed him money.He was rumored to have had most of his business rivals killed.

As they all say down Ling Chuxi had a feeling that someone was glaring at her but she didn't have the courage to look up. Qin Yumei and Master Hale started to conversing with each other.

"As we already said yesterday on the phone we are here to collect the bride. We have already made a special reservation for the marriage.Astwo to get married after we leave here."

Master Hale said

"Yes we have already gotten her ready her bags have also been packed .She will be leaving with you like we said" said Qin Yumei.

From start to finish Langston had never said a word. It was like the people before him we not discussing his marriage.As soon as they left they went to the civil bureau to register their marriage.

When they were done Langston looked at his father and said "You are happy now I got married to the one you wanted. Now take it away I have to go explain this to mygirlfriend. I can't believe you made me marry that thing"

Ling Chuxi looked so lost she had her head down she never looked up. Even when Langston was insulting her it looked like he was not talking to her. She had lost hope since her father died. She kept telling herself that all her suffering will pay off someday.

"Like hell you are going to take her to you house that's where she will be staying from now on and there is no negotiations. If you ever do anything to her I'll make you pay."with that Master Hale turned around and left.

"I don't love you and I never will get that thru you head."He turned to the assistant"give her the address and cash she will get there on her own""let's go to Lan Xinyu's apartment" After the assistant gave Ling Chuxi the address they left.

This was the first time she had gone out in a while because while she was at the Ling house never allowed to go out and she did waste it. Instead of going to Langston's house she went to the cemetery to visit her father. She spent a while cleaning around the grave after she was done she sat down and talked a bit with her father before she went to Langston's house

***** ****** ****** ******

When she got home it was late in the evening. She went to the kitchen and made some food for herself before going to the room the maid had assigned her. The room was better than the shabby closet she slept in back at the Ling house .She used to have a room back when her father was alive but when Ling Ruorou started living there she demanded that she give her the room. She was forced to give it up by Qin Yumei in the end.

It had been a month since she started living in Langston's house she was very happy because he didn't come back more often and the house maids treated her very good. She was happy that things were finally looking up for her.

It was that very night when everything changed. She was in her room sleeping when someone opened the door.

Langston crawled into her bed she woke up immediately "get off me. who is this?"she had just turned around that she saw that the man that had entered her bed was Langston. She tried her best to push her away but she wasn't too strong.

Soon Langston began to kiss her all over. She hated it so much she began to fight more the man got on top of her he stunk of alcohol. She didn't know what to do so she bit his lips till they were bleeding. He hissed at the sudden pain.

"please stop don't do this. I don't want to do this" she pleaded with him but her please fell into deft ears "You know how to talk why didn't you say anything when I was forced to marry you.You could have stopped this now my girlfriend left me.Are you happy now ? Since she left me now you will be my woman"

With that he forcefully concurred her body claiming it as his. She didn't know how it went as she had passed out due to the pain.
