Three hours prior to the encounter.

The glare of the sun passing through the open curtain window disturbs Lin Ai from a night's deep sleep. Stretching out her arms over the head made her yawn. Reluctant to stir from the cozy place, she settles deeper into the soft bed.

"Miss Lia Lin Ai, time to rise and get ready for the day." A stern voice said.

Shifting, her gaze spots a lady wearing a simple black samfu and bottoms standing nearby.

She asks with a slight interest and irritation in her tone, "What is the point of preparing since there are no plans mentioned on the schedule currently?"

Upon seeing her, Lin Ai rolls her eyes, feeling annoyed.

"Lei, what is it point since I have nothing on the schedule?"

Who is Lei? Lei has been working for my family for as long as I can remember. Our relationship is neither good nor bad. The only reason she is here is because my father wants surveillance on me. Lei is the head of the team and who knows what she is reporting to my father?

Lei pulls back the comforter and yanks Lin Ai to her feet.

"Now get washed up. I already have everything prepared in the bathroom."

Ambling slowly to the bathroom, Lin Ai takes off her nightgown and step into the tub. Warm water feels nice on her skin. However, her enjoyment could not last long because Lei always had a set timer. Lin Ai quickens her routine. Heading back to the bedroom Lei and other women assist her in slipping into a lace ivory mini dress, ruby heels, and an ebony leather jacket. Carmine tints color Lin Ai's lip, and ears showcase gold dangling earrings. Lei put her black hair in half up and half down with curls on the sides

"Lei, is my father gone already?"

"Yeah, in fact, he did not even come home last night." Lei answers.

Of course, he did not come home last night. He probably spent the night at the company. After all, the company means more to him than to me. Most of the time she live with Lei and other women is on a regular schedule visit. Living in luxury in this white mansion feels like a prison rather than a dream house. The only thing my father sees me as is a marriage object in which he can procure business deal out of. It's not like I have a say in the matter to whom my husband should be. The order is to follow with no question to ask.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

Ringing of the cell disturbs Lin Ai from her thoughts. Lei gave Lin Ai the phone. Seeing the id Jia Qingren on the screen surprises her. For it's been quite a long period since they previously met one another.

"Qingren darling, hello."

"Come to my villa." Jia Qingren demand.

"Oh! What is the occasion?"

"You will see when you arrive," he responds.

"Ok, I will see you then."

 A sigh slips from Lin AI's lip after hanging up the phone. Her heart could not stop thumping rapidly after hearing his honeyed, sultry voice.

"Get the car ready to depart."

"Alright miss." Lei said.

While she went to prepare the ride, Lin Ai walked toward the driveway. A gold Porsche approaches next to her. The chauffeur opens the door; she got in. The trip to the villa was a tranquil one. Many opulent houses came into view as we drove by. Lei will probably report my meet up to father. Shortly, the vehicle arrives at the villa. Lin Ai caught sight of a beautiful villa with a red pagoda shaped roof and wooden modern style for the lower section. Stepping out of the car, she promptly dialed Jia Qingren.

"Darling I'm here. Are you coming out to greet me?

"Just head to my room. Someone will guide you there??" Jia Qingren replies.

Surprisingly, the front door was not locked when she reached there. A worker showed her the way up the stairs to his room. Nervous feelings hinder Lin Ai from barging into the room. Eager to see him, she gathered courage and taps on the door. However, no one responds. Her ears had detected some strange sounds coming from within. Being inquisitive, Lin Ai palm glides to rotate the knob on the door. Poking her head in the chamber, the scene flabbergasts her. Lin Ai eyes beheld her beloved boyfriend Jia Qingren engage in coition with an unknown woman. She steps back, feeling her breath caught in the throat.

My goodness! This cannot happen to me! Who is that woman with Jia Qingren/Am I hallucinating right now? Stepping forward once more, Lin Ai saw the two individuals still engaging in the same activity. Reality comes after several times of rubbing her eyes. I can not believe this! They seem to enjoy the cowgirl position without minding my presence. Overwhelmed by revulsion, her body was on the brink of vomiting in that instance. Heat surged in Lin Ai's cheeks as she averts her eyes. Her heart burns with intense ire. Should I confront them? I must. Briefly, her mind mule over whether on how to start the confrontation. I must act now, otherwise my dignity may never recover. Drawing in a deep breath, Lin Ai shoves the door wide open.

"Wow! Jia Qingren, you did not have the decency to cover up. Is this what you wanted to show me?"

The two of them briefly stops what they were doing upon hearing her inquiry. Their countenance exhibits no trace of embarrassment whatsoever. Jia Qingren seemed pleased with a sly grin.

"Precisely. Why should I feel ashamed? Actually, I no longer have the desire for you to be my official girlfriend." Jia Qingren bluntly expresses.

"You had the nerve to insist I come here. I witness your adulterous act. Why couldn't you just convey this over the phone?"

"Haha! frankly, I want to witness your reaction." Jia Qingren utters.

"Dignity and integrity did not matter to you at all. Did you even think about father's agreement?"

"Nope, plus the marriage contract heavy benefit your family." Jia Qingren says.

"Why did you not bring it up to father during the marriage contract discussion phase because I was not even there?"

"Marrying you were part of the agreement; however, I hardly see that as a benefit to me. I am a man bond by no woman." He states.

"Then why did you even bother to sign the paper if you were against the marriage in the first place?"

"Business is business. He agreed to a financial trade if I wed you." Jia Qingren says.

Basically, I am just a pawn in my father's game to expand his business empire. What is the point of staying here?

"I guess there is no reason for me to be here."

Paying no attention to them, Lin Ai walks toward the exit.

Before she ventures further, Jia Qingren shouts, "Why don't you serve as my personal whore?"

Hearing him uttering those words evokes a strong sense of indignation in her. Personally, she could not let that statement slide with no consequences. Marching to him, Lin Ai lifts her hand and strikes him hard on the cheek.

"You think too highly of yourself. Do you honestly believe I am a promiscuous woman that is inclined to fulfill your wishes any time you desire?"

"Bitch! You can't smack my man. You are filthy," a mellifluous voice spoke.

Lin Ai's gaze fell upon the woman sitting on top of Qingren. Long fiery wavy hair frames her diamond shape face. One thing stands out about her is piercing almond golden eyes surrounded by dramatic makeup. A dimple could see on the right lower cheek. Her nose and mouth look perfectly shaped. She had a svelte body, so it is understandable he might have slept with her. Was I jealous of her? Well, perhaps I was self-conscious of my figure. Lin Ai experiences an abrupt, intense slap across her face. Her balance became wobbly as the gal grabs Lin Ai's hair. She stood close and her grip was strong. Stretching upwards, Lin Ai pried the woman's hand off her hair. The lady's gaze seems threatening, as if she wants to do something. Eager to flee, Lin Ai back up without noticing where her legs lead her. Finding herself stuck between the wooden wardrobe and bookshelf. Lin Ai’s eyes squeezes shut as a clenched hand charge directly at her.

Ah, that is how I found myself in this precise situation with this unfamiliar woman. Who knows how much time has passed since the assault began? The gal has not given up on hurting me. Lin Ai could hardly comprehend what was going through the gal's mind and why she felt the need to attack her over Jia Qingren. Her assumption is it was jealousy and obsession. What is she supposed to do? The lady moves are too quick. It is not like Lin Ai can easily push her off. Heck, she bet Jia Qingren is enjoying it while watching on the side.

"I am heading out. This is boring to see."

Hearing him speak those words irks Lin Ai. It is like he views this as a trivial matter. After all, he was not the one who got hurt. He did not bother to pity me in my dire state. My guess is that he does not mind violent woman. If only I could be strong, then I would give him a piece of my mind. Lin Ai's ears pick up the clicking sound of the door closing. Even if the woman quit her horrendous action, Lin Ai could only focus on the aches and pain to even lift a muscle. Her will to fight vanished a long time ago. She remained there motionless, unaware of the horror that was about to befall her.

In the next instance, the gal loomed over Lin Ai. Her piercing stare unsettles her. She did not even sense the pressure change around her stomach. Lin Ai's eyelids could hardly remain ajar because of the swelling. Honestly, the woman's next move terrifies Lin Ai because she perceives the gal might perform another outrageous act. Her body became immobile because of pounding headache and vision impairments. Before she knew it, two sharp heel caps came directly down from her eyes.

"Ah!" Lin Ai screams out.

Blood had gushed everywhere through her eyes and ran down the side of her face. Gradually, darkness enveloped Lin Ai as her consciousness faded. If Lin Ai knew her life would take an unexpected twist, perhaps her decision would have differed from the start.
