Returning home desperately, I was feeling very ill which lasted for a week and made me immobile. As I awakened, I heard my mother say that I was thinking about Lester Ye even when I had a fever. She didn\'t dare to ask me what happened at the Ye\'s house but told me cautiously, \"It\'s really not a problem…we just spend money to find a man then as long as you get pregnant, it\'s fine.\" \"No, Lester Ye and I are still husband and wife in law. If I am pregnant with someone else\'s child, then there will be no possibility to overturn my case.\" I shook my head and flatly rejected her proposal. \"We still have time, there must be other ways.\" I had no choice but to convince her. The court hearing will take place a month from now. I was overwhelmed upon receiving the subpoena. I remembered the cruel words of Lester Ye when I was leaving and it made me sick. No need to think about it, his methods must be indispensable. It turned out t
Before I was locked in, my hair was cut short until ear-length. A set of prison uniform was handed to me. The moment the shackles were put on I soon realized that my life … is really over... No matter how glamorous you used to be…none of those matters now… The number 1203 became my code name. \"1203, you will live in this room from now on.\" This is like a high school dormitory in the 1990s, with four bunk beds in a room of a few square meters which would accommodate eight prisoners. “Yollie Mu?” I heard someone directing the question to me and I nodded subconsciously. In a matter of seconds I noticed the group gathered around me. They were older than me and and robust in shape with vicious looks in their eyes. \"Come here...\" I don\'t know who gave the order. Unaware of what’s coming, a fist hit me in the stomach. Turning around quickly and holding on to the iron gate I screamed, \"He
A death row prisoner...what\'s the use of a healthy body? I got a feeling of a numb heart…suffocating…that even my breathing hurts. In his eyes, my life was nothing of value. I closed my eyes and pondered…thinking of a way to escape. I can\'t just sit and wait for death otherwise what awaits me is definitely an abyss that will never be restored. Being a prisoner, when I was admitted to the hospital, I was watched by authorities. I wanted to escape. What a foolish idea! I need to contact my mother and let everyone know about my pregnancy. In this way, the execution of my verdict can be carried out without going back to the cell. But this seemingly simple requirement may not be that easy. For sure, Lester Ye would do something and force me to abort. By then my last hope would be gone. There was no phone in the ward that I could use to communicate. The only thing was the bed bell that could call the nurse. After thi
The helplessness and panic in my heart rose to the highest point. Even when Lester Ye forced me to take contraceptives, I was not so desperate. But now it is different. There is already a small life that has settled in my body. It is a blood-linked baby. Natural maternal love instinctively makes me want to protect it at all costs. But right now I am just so helpless. I keep on twisting to free myself and tears can\'t stop flowing out. Upon seeing the instrument in the doctor\'s hand stretched towards me, with my eyes closed, the fear in my heart reached its highest point. Baby, you take the first step, wait for mom, I will be with you soon. At this moment, aspirations of life and death were in my heart. \"Who dares to touch my daughter?\" Unexpectedly, my mother burst into the operating room without knocking and aggressively pushed aside the doctor who was stupefied. She took my clothes hurriedly and covered my b
Knowing that one’s life is almost coming to an end is far more terrible than an unexpected death. Two years, which is more than seven hundred days and nights of waiting and if the case cannot be reversed then I am done. The violence received in prison is far more better than the “cold violence” shown to me in this house.From the first day I came, no one had spoken to me. Apparently, I have been ignored all the time as if I do not exist. Lester Ye mostly came back at night bringing along different women with him each time. A wry smile is obviously seen on my face as he always know how to hurt me the most. I really have had a hard time when I was conceiving. The morning sickness was so severe that I throw up more than I could take in food. I lost weight during those times until the situation eased up after more than three months. My mother would call every noon asking me about my situation or report for any progress of my case but today I had an unus
\"How? How is it possible? I can’t believe...\" Right there and then, I lifted the quilt and got out of the bed barefooted as swiftly as I can and run out of the room. In the hallway, I met a doctor coming out beside a hospital bed led out of the room. It was covered with a white sheet and an arm was exposed hanging under the sheets. I saw a golden hollow ring on her finger which was my parents wedding ring back then that never left her hand from that day onwards. I opened the white sheet with trembling hands, revealing my mother\'s bloodless face. I can feel that the sky has dropped on me. The only person who protected me in her whole life has really gone then I passed out. When I awaken, I heard the nurse say, \"You must take good care of yourself. You donated blood when you are pregnant. Had the doctor not find it out on time, you would have lost the baby.\" After hearing those words, I was so glad and relieved that th
Returning to Ye\'s house, I locked myself up. With my mother gone and a dad disowning me as well as my husband having his heart by himself. There seemed to be nothing in this world that belonged to me. Until Lester Ye opened the door and appeared in front of me with the food. I looked at him mockingly with a crazy smile and tears come flowing again. I found myself really useless. After the incident, I would only cry. I am afraid that my tears are the least valuable thing in his heart and the effect of it is what he wants the most. \"Eat.\" He looked at me with deep eyes as he brought in the food. I don\'t understand why he still have the guts to face me so calmly after doing this kind of thing. I suddenly doubted whether the Lester Ye in my mind was just an illusion. The boy who was able to save me during the time of my desperation, was it really him? As he came closer, I suddenly took a chance to knocked the bow
Several things happened in the Mu’s family that caused the family’s reputation to plummet down and the funeral did not take place in the usual way. When my mother\'s ashes were buried it started to rain. The guests has dispersed leaving only a brand-new tomb standing in the tomb forest. The pace of time must not stop just because someone has passed away. On the third day after my mother’s funeral, the Mu family announced that they have found their missing daughter. They invited friends and relatives to a banquet to celebrate her return from the disaster. Back at the Ye’s place, I saw an invitation card on the table. I can feel the irony of it. My mother\'s bones are not yet cold but my dad can\'t wait to take Liza Hui\'s daughter home. I opened the post and Lester Ye\'s name was on it. I rolled my eyes put it down and went upstairs. As I was lying on the bed, still in a state of confusion, I heard noises so I went out to check on it. As I
