LOGINRUYI WYNTER ❦“Ruyi…”Hydrangea guy entered the apartment, so tall he had to bend slightly before he could pass through the doorway. He was wearing a designer leather coat and his black mask that covered the scarred part of his face, and somehow, even with half his face hidden, he looked too handsome.Sometimes I wondered why he spent his time with a broken and rejected married woman like me. When he could pursue emotionally intact, hot and appealing women,Wasn’t that doing himself a disservice?I heaved a deep breath when he closed the door behind him. For a split second, I had thought it was Lucien standing at the door.That was exactly Lucien’s voice. I brushed the thought away immediately. I was probably just hallucinating. Lucien had taken up far too much space in my thoughts since I met him.“I’m glad you let me know about your apartment change,” Hydrane said as he dropped the expensive shopping bags he had brought with him onto the bed. I felt awkward.I didn’t know what to sa
RUYI WYNTER ❦I spent the rest of the day at Lucien Blackwood’s mansion, with men in dark suits attending to my every need, though I still felt strangely out of place being treated with such care.While I waited, I found myself scrolling through real estate apps, looking at standard apartments and eventually getting connected to an agent who began sending me options for studio apartments and serviced mini-flats in high-end, secured estates.The neighbourhoods looked too luxurious, too beautiful for someone like me.But then I paused. They weren’t actually as expensive as I had imagined. I had worked hard all my life. I had saved every little bit I could to help pay Jace’s debt, even after Lucien had told me I never owed him money, but life. I had still persisted.I kept working myself to the bone because I believed that one day Jace and I would somehow gather enough money together, pay what we owed and finally buy our freedom.But now, for the first time, I was beginning to understan
RUYI WYNTER ❦Jace, the moment he dropped my hands and left me there, alone in that cold apartment for another woman, I knew I could never be the home he came back to anymore.Perhaps the betrayal of him sleeping with another woman on our anniversary, the years of cheating and every lie in between should have been enough to shake the love I still carried for him. But somehow, they weren’t. I had kept holding on to the hope that he would change, that somewhere beneath everything he had become was still the man I once knew and loved.Perhaps even seeing him dress another woman in my clothes and take her to our matrimonial bed hadn’t been enough to make me leave that cold apartment I had been conditioned to call home after our marriage. I had stayed because of love, loyalty and every sacrifice I had convinced myself was worth making.But the moment he dropped my hands and walked away, leaving me with the uncertainty that I might never see him again, something inside me finally broke.The
JACE ROYWANBeing stuck with charmless Ruyi was already fucking depressing enough. It became even more frustrating having to deal with a depressing, broken doll who did nothing but nag, blame and accuse me.How much more disappointing could she possibly become?Nagging me about who I fucked, as though she hadn’t spent every damn day acting like that. If someone had told me years ago that my Ruyi would turn into this, I would have laughed in their face.She needed to get a grip and realize how lucky she was that I even came home to that damp, cold apartment after working for hours.No husband should have to work himself to the bone only to return home to a stiff, miserable wife who made him feel like he was walking into another fucking job.Leaving was the best decision I’d made. I got to spend more time with Sophia, satisfy my needs and, at the same time, make Ruyi understand what my absence meant.Maybe that was the punishment she needed. She needed to realize that if she kept acting
RUYI WYNTER ❦The morning light and the distant whistles of birds woke me from my sleep, and an intense hangover immediately punished my head, a dull, throbbing ache spreading behind my eyes as I groaned and squeezed them shut again, wishing I could somehow crawl back into whatever darkness I had just escaped from.My eyes opened slowly. The ceiling above me was familiar, but the room itself wasn’t.I pushed myself up slightly, only for the movement to send another sharp pulse through my skull, forcing a quiet whimper from my lips as I pressed my palm against my forehead.I looked around. The sophisticated furniture, the dark polished wood, the enormous windows, the heavy curtains, the expensive sheets beneath my body…My breathing changed instantly. I knew in that moment, that I was in Lucien’s mansion.I froze beneath the sheets, every sleepy thought evaporating at once.. How did I get here? I looked down at myself. I was still dressed.My clothes were slightly wrinkled, my hair a c
RUYI WYNTER ❦In that moment, I was drunk. So high that I had lost every bit of decorum I possessed.“You…” I pointed at him through my hazy euphoria. It all felt like a dream, like the Hydrangea guy wasn’t truly standing there.And that was… strangely exciting. Because I couldn’t think about Jace anymore. Every time I looked at him, I only saw one face.Lucien.Lucien’s face kept bleeding into the Hydrangea guy’s, until I couldn’t tell where one ended and the other began.In that moment, I wasn’t afraid. Because none of it felt real.“You stupid, stupid Lucien…” I laughed, pointing at him again.“Hahaha…” He paused.Even through my blurred vision, I could tell I’d surprised him. Whether he was Lord Lucien or the Hydrangea guy, I no longer knew.And I didn’t care. Because I genuinely believed there was nobody there. Only my drunken mind. And somehow… it felt beautiful.The lightness. The nothingness.I reached for another bottle and tipped it back greedily, but before I could swallow
RUYI WYNTER ❦ Lucien’s fingers were still buried deep inside me, two thick digits stretching my sheath open while I sat naked on his lap, the short white robe hanging open around my shoulders. Lucien sucked harder on my nipple, pulling it deep into his warm mouth, tongue flicking the sensitive ti
LUCIEN BLACKWOOD╭⋟────────────╮Should I just kill him?A weak, sniveling man who controls Ruyi without chains, without spoken threats, without even raising his voice. A man you still hold loyal to your bleeding heart, letting him drain you dry while you hope and call it love.I stood in the shad
LUCIEN BLACKWOOD ⫘⫘My fingers rested at the edge of the mask.Ruyi stood so close I could smell the faint trace of my own bath oil still on her skin. Her hair framed her face, her eyes wide with nervous hope and that soft compassion she always wasted on the wrong people.I studied
RUYI WYNTER ❦I walked into the flower shop… a little surprised when I suddenly felt a warm hug from behind me. I turned slightly and saw it was Shana… She resumed work early today.“Good morning, sister,” she said with a bright, happy expression.“Uhmm… you are here so early,” I replied.“No sist
