Goodbye, Twilight

I was not young anymore.I did not remember how I felt at that moment. All I remembered was that we had one of our worst fights that night.I cried and lost my temper. I destroyed our photos. I turned the house into a mess.Harry was not angry. When I grew tired of crying, he hugged me. He kissed away the tears on my cheeks and said, “Aurora, you’re a good girl. I love you. I only love you…”His heart ached for me, and the emotion in his eyes was real. I decided to trust him.But the suspense in my heart only intensified. I started to pay close attention to his behavior. Once again, I saw him staring at the photo.I felt bitter. My eyes welled up. Suddenly, the figure of a young man appeared in front of me.I was only four years old when I met Harry.As far as I remembered, I was an orphan.My mother got pregnant out of wedlock. She insisted on having me. But she had a hard time during labor and died of a hemorrhage.Everyone said that I killed her because I was cursed. Sin

When I grew older, I got into the best high school in town with good grades.I happily showed him the offer letter. He trembled and repeatedly wiped his hands on his shirt before taking the letter shakily.“Aurora, you’re awesome! Look at your excellent grade!”He looked around the house. He wanted to find something to celebrate the occasion. In the end, he went out with his money box. “Aurora, wait for me to return.”I was stunned for a moment. My joy vanished within an instant.The breeze moved the old wooden door, and it made a rattling sound. The window was covered with old clothes. Harry slept on the floor. We did not have any extra beds. He always slept on the floor.High school education required a huge sum of money. Harry was already working so hard, but we could barely make ends meet.I was practically a grown-up. I could work and share his burden.Harry pushed the door open and entered. He brought in a colorful box and said, “Aurora, I told the boss that you earned go

I had been Yvonne’s subject of experiment many times. This time, after I woke up, my body felt especially sore.Yvonne smiled and said, “You finally woke up. You slept for almost four hours.”I rubbed my arms. “Why does my whole body ache?”“That’s entirely normal. Thank you for being my ‘lab rat.’ I’ll treat you to a meal later.”“Great!”Yvonne locked the door. Then, she took me to a steakhouse.It was Valentine’s Day. The steakhouse had many heart-shaped balloons at the front entrance. They also stuck a huge pink poster at the entrance.If only Harry were here…While I was thinking about him, I received a notification. It was a text from Harry.[Aurora, Happy Valentine’s Day.]I replied. [Harry, Happy Valentine’s Day to you, too!]I was about to type more when Yvonne interrupted me. “Why are you still on your phone when you’re dating me?”I put down my phone. The variety of food served was tasty. But somehow, I felt that something was missing.My phone rang. It was a ca

I dodged Jessica’s attack. Still, she scratched the corners of my lips a little, and blood dribbled down my face. I refused to give in and kicked her hard in the knee.Jessica cried out in pain. Her large body trembled, and so did her greasy flesh. Her gaze was filled with murderous intent. She glared at me, and the corners of her lips curved up into a sinister smile. “I was being nice, but since you won’t play nice with me, I’ll make you pay!”Right after she finished her sentence, several bulky men came up the stairs.The man who led the group wore a gold chain. He sized me up with a leering gaze. “Jessica, I didn’t know you had such a pretty niece!”Jessica’s eyes were filled with intense hatred. “Oh, she’s good at seducing men. You and your buddies need to be gentle on her…”The men drew closer to me. I tried to shut the door, but Jessica blocked the way.I felt everything in front of me begin to spin. My mind went blank. The long-forgotten fear surged through me.A wave

“Harry isn’t around anymore. You need to wake up. How much longer are you going to stay trapped in this?”I crouched on the floor and covered my head with my hands. “Impossible! This is impossible. You’re lying!”I felt as if there was a lump inside my throat, and tears streamed down my face.I hit myself in the head in despair.I remembered everything.I did not have a great university life because of David.People often looked at me with a strange and judgmental gaze. I often received disgusting and vulgar messages from unknown numbers.Yvonne was my only friend.During my junior year, Harry came to the university to look for me once.He approached a guy and asked, “Do you know where Aurora from the law school is?”The guy gave him a knowing smile. “Buddy, you’re here to find her too? Well, you’ll have to get in line. She’s quite popular!”“What do you mean?”The guy had chuckled lewdly. “She’s sleeping around with men to earn some income. You’re not from our university,
