Chapter 2

Aвтор: Flori
I felt my body go ice cold. I had become the old man’s plaything.

He said that if he was not poor, he would not have purchased me who had already given birth.

He told me to give birth to a daughter so he would have someone to fool around with when she got older.

I was drenched in cold sweat. I knew that if he did not die, my life would be a living hell.

My fingernails that used to flip musical scores were all broken.

I clenched my teeth and used all my might to strangle the old man.

However, I got slapped in return.

He stepped on my abdomen and beat me with all he had.

He cursed me for being disobedient and invited all the other single men in the village to his place.

I was terrified and cursed them all to burn in hell.

Days passed as my attempts to kill myself failed continuously.

I was slowly going insane.

Finally, my bodyguard appeared. He always looked so serious.

He brought the police with him.

He also sent me to a mental hospital.

I did not know what it felt like to die.

But I knew how it felt like to live in hell. I had gotten a good taste of it for over ten years.

I felt wronged. If I had another chance, I would make them go through what I had been through!

The sound of glass breaking pulled me back to reality.

I saw shattered glass on the floor when I went downstairs.

The piano that I practiced on every day was covered in orange juice.

Lynn wrapped her arms around my mother’s neck as she said in a timid and soft voice, “Mom, I didn’t break the bottle on purpose. I just wanted to take a look at the piano. Will Harper be mad at me?”

She bit her lower lip to pretend that she was scared and made her voice tremble.

She saw me in her peripheral vision and cocked an eyebrow at me tauntingly.

If I had noticed that in my last life, things would have been different.

She was hostile toward me. From the moment she returned home, she was planning to take everything away from me.

I sat down before the piano and stared at it.

Music started to play as my fingers danced on the keys.

“It’s fine if the piano’s ruined. You have just returned home, so let me play a song to welcome you back…”

  • The Train Of Despair   Chapter 14

    The Grant family had gone bankrupt.In this world, there would no longer be any rich Grant family. There was only me. After I sent Lynn back to the village, I returned to the city in peace. My father had already made his escape, while my mother was left alone in a small dark house. She saw me standing at the door and sneered. “I thought you didn’t remember that. You’re too good at pretending!” “Only your daughter is foolish enough to forget everything. I remember what happened when I was five.”I was very calm. When I was five, my biological mother sent me to the Grant family and left. The next time I saw her was in the newspapers. The folk singer had committed suicide after failing to become a nun. Then, I saw a new piano at home. Whenever I was at my limits, I would play it. I told myself to hold on a little longer. I did not expect Lynn to ruin the piano on her first day back. In the middle of the night, I tried my best to wipe the piano clean. While do

    William walked forward and grabbed Lynn’s small face. “Do you really think we slept together? It was a security guard from the other night. I paid him twice his salary to sleep with you, and you enjoyed it so much…”“What?” Lynn held her tummy and cried. “Security guard? I don’t believe you! I clearly saw your face!” William put on a villainous smile. He then slapped her. “Who do you think you are? Do you think I’d sleep with you? I find you disgusting and dirty!”Lynn started crying harder, then wiped her tears and said, “Don’t you want to marry me? Don’t you want to spend your entire life with me?” “Oh…” When she said that, William seemed to recall something. “Your mother-in-law is a savage. Now, both of my parents are in the ICU. Thanks to you, I finally hold the reins to my family business.” “She’s not my mother-in-law!” Lynn was still in denial. William pointed out the window. “Well, you’ll find out soon enough. We’ll reach the station soon!” Lynn was moment

    After Lynn got rich, she started to spend frivolously. She even came to brag about her limited edition branded bag to me. “Harper, we should find a good place for our vacation!” I was not listening to what she was saying. The bodyguard escorted her to the train. It was only after Lynn boarded the train that she felt that something was wrong. She took out her phone to make a call, but I tossed it out of the train window. “The scenery is beautiful. Isn’t it nice to just admire it?” I looked out the window. It was noisy on the train. The bodyguard detained Lynn so she could not move. She was confused when she saw there were fewer trees and more mountains outside the window. She asked nervously, “What’s so nice to look at? The trees are so bare.” “What’s nice to look at?” The village where I lived in my last life had very few trees. One day, a leaf flew in and landed beside my hand, but I could no longer tell what color it was. The sky started to darken, and the surro

    My mother had never seen such a vulgar person before. She hid behind me in fear and pointed at Mary. “If you continue to act this way, I’m going to call the police!” Unexpectedly, Mary stood on the chair and took out a marriage certificate and slammed it on the table. She then gestured for his son to kiss Lynn.Even though the large man was not smart, he was physically very strong. He pinned Lynn against the table as the two children started to cry. He kicked the children away and drooled all over Lynn.Lynn could not even scream. “Call the police! Call the police!” my mother shrieked and slammed the door to try and open it. It was only then that the door opened. My father had indeed gone out to make a police report. Mary and her family were taken away. They were cursing on their way out. Lynn put her clothes back on while trembling. She threw herself into my mother’s arms and sobbed. “Don’t let them come out! Sue them!” she said viciously as she grabbed onto my m

    William’s mother was taken away and all the relatives left the scene. My father had never been this embarrassed before. He turned around and demanded an answer from Lynn.It was only then that Lynn confessed that she was already married. “How can it be possible? You were kidnapped, so you didn’t have the documents to be registered!” My father slammed the table forcefully. Lynn was feeding her children some cakes when she answered in a trembling voice, “I took another person’s identity and their ID. I was afraid that you’ll look down on me, so I didn’t dare to tell you.”The large man’s eyes lit up, and he bowed to my father. He said in a loud voice, “Father!” The two children rushed forward. “Grandpa… grandma…” Looking at her beautiful daughter, then at her two messy children, and the idiotic man bowing down before them, my mother started crying. However, my father was not swayed. He turned around to make a call and locked the doors. I had never seen such an expre

    My words gave Mary an idea.Now, she would work towards making her grandchildren inherit the Grant family’s wealth. In the living room, Lynn was crying hysterically. She held her clothes and kept saying that William had taken advantage of her after he got her drunk…William’s face was red, and he rubbed his hands anxiously. “I had too much to drink yesterday and was drunk. I thought you’re Harper!” A hint of murderousness flashed across my eyes. I had planned to send William Lynn’s way eventually anyway. I broke the silence. “Seems like fate got both of you together, so you can be her fiance instead!” The entire family was shocked when I said that. Lynn’s eyes lit up in anticipation.My mother blinked and accepted my proposal. She said, “I’m sorry Harper, but it has to be this way.” My father was the only one who slammed the table and was against it. However, he had no choice but to agree after Lynn fainted. They would be getting engaged in three days’ time. I
