I ended up with the guy who used to bully me in high school. As the morning light filtered into the room, I only slightly moved my arm. The arm clamped around my waist instantly tightened its hold. Caleb Thorne lowered his head and kissed my neck, his deep voice carrying the huskiness of just waking up. "Did you sleep well last night?" I froze for a moment, then obediently nodded. In the past, maybe I would have resisted a little, but he spent three weeks teaching me a lesson. Obedience is best. He took my hand resting by my side, intertwining his fingers with mine with interest. Burying his face in my neck, he chuckled with amusement. "Didn't throw away the ring I gave you this time?" ... He was referring to the diamond ring on my ring finger. There were two before this. One I hid in the freezer, and one I threw into the fountain in the garden downstairs. I don't want to recall the consequences those two rings brought for now, but the result the third ring brought is probably: I am marrying him, the person I used to fear the most. 1 I like spending time in the bathroom showering. Because I don't have to face him, and I won't think of certain terrible memories. But staring at myself in the bathroom mirror, the misty fog couldn't hide some glaring marks on my body. My eyes were red, staring at myself in the mirror. Until Caleb's slow knocking sounded at the door. "Still showering?" "If you don't come out, I'm coming in." "..." It's not like he hasn't done the thing of entering the bathroom without greeting. I immediately turned off the shower and wrapped myself in a towel. ... Breakfast was neatly arranged on the table as usual, but Caleb probably didn't have time to enjoy it. The morning news was playing on TV. With his slender fingers, he neatly tied his tie. Seeing me staring at him, he leaned down and scraped my nose. "Like watching? You tie it for me next time?" I turned my face away. But he just chuckled carelessly. And he deliberately picked up the milk I had drunk, drinking from where my lips had touched. ... "Be good, wait for me to come back." "I'll take you to see wedding dresses tonight." 2 Caleb left. I stared blankly at the TV for a long time. Then I raised the glass he just drank from and smashed it heavily against the TV. The TV only shook, but the glass shattered on the floor. The loud noise caused the servants downstairs to exclaim. But I hugged my knees, sitting there crying. ... Caleb was my nightmare in the past. In high school, he was the most vicious bully in that group. He threw all the books in my bag downstairs from a high place. He also organized classmates to isolate me. With his instigation, those girls dragged me into the restroom and slapped me. As long as he led the bullying, no one dared to help me. Because Caleb was the son of the CEO of a huge corporation. Several buildings in our school were donated by his family. He led the wanton ridicule of me. At that time, bullying me became a trend in the class. I heard his face was the dream of all the girls in school. But to me, he was the demon who tormented me sleepless night after night. Such a person. Seven years after graduation. Said he wanted to marry me. 3 I couldn't change the habit of trembling whenever I saw Caleb. Even though I had been sleeping in the same bed with him for three weeks. No one helped me. My mom, knowing someone of Caleb's status wanted to marry me, couldn't be happier. Caleb seemed to have changed cars again. The back seat of this car was very spacious. But I didn't like cars with spacious back seats. The partition in the middle had risen. No one knew what he would do with me in the back. But today's Caleb was quieter than usual. Probably because I kept trembling. The temperature in the car rose quite high, but I was still trembling. Ignoring my reaction, he pulled me into his arms. "Evie, are you that scared?" The man's whisper teased my ear. He knew exactly why I was like this. "I'll take you to choose a wedding dress, okay?" I controlled my trembling bit by bit, but still laughed sarcastically. Who would have thought, the person who pushed me into the abyss step by step. Is now speaking softly about taking me to choose a wedding dress? 4 Caleb took me to this shop, located in a private villa. The crystal chandelier reflected dazzling light, illuminating the wedding dresses displayed on the mannequins. I wasn't in the mood to look, nor to choose. I let Caleb discuss with the designer which style to customize for me. I let the assistant measure my body with a tape measure. The backyard of this shop was a small garden. I was more interested in that place. While they were chatting, I lifted my skirt and went to the small pond in the backyard. There was a door in the backyard. It seemed that passing through it would lead to a road of infinite freedom. Actually, I thought about running away countless times. But when I gathered the courage to run, I沮丧ly realized I had nowhere to go. My mom desperately hoped I would marry Caleb. She held my hand and told me not to be willful. I sat by the small pond until Caleb finished talking and came to find me. "What are you thinking about?" Caleb was often like this, high and mighty. But I showed him my arm. On my wrist, there was a small red mark. This circular scar had a layer of hypertrophic scar tissue around the edge. "Look, you burned this with a cigarette butt." I pointed to this place. One day he was in a bad mood, pulled me into a corner, and pressed a cigarette butt there. It hurt so much, so much that I forgot what else he did afterwards. The person looking down at me concentrated for a moment, then squatted in front of me. Even though I desperately didn't want to admit it, Caleb's face was indeed perfect. So perfect that it looked like it was carved by the most famous sculptor in ancient Greece. If he looked at someone with a pair of gentle eyes, anyone would probably drown in them. Otherwise, why does the Western Bible say that the devil always has the most bewitching face? The light and shadow of the lighter flickered. He lit a cigarette in front of me. I subconsciously trembled, afraid the cigarette butt would fall on my arm again. But the next second, he lightly pressed the cigarette butt out on his own wrist. In the same position as mine. He looked at me quietly, "Feel better, Evie?" "..." I lowered my eyes. The ash flickered, and the fresh wound was particularly glaring. He suddenly reached out and pulled me into his arms. "Evie, if you can share a little of this pain with me, it will be fine." Fireflies of summer slowly rose from the pond. I stared at the flowing moonlight. "Caleb, you know clearly that those pains were brought by you." The man's body stiffened for a moment, then he stroked my hair bit by bit. "Then I'll atone for my sins, okay?" "..." 5 After Caleb left this morning, I threw that glass of milk at the TV as usual. At times like this, the servants would usually warm another glass of milk and hand it to me. But today, I didn't want to drink it. Actually, I used to like drinking milk the most. When I was in school, my mom always made me bring a bottle of milk to school in the morning. But one day, during recess, Caleb sat on the desk in front of me. He was already quite tall then, leaning over, his shadow almost enveloping me. I heard someone sneering, then someone said, find some fun, Master Thorne. But he smiled at me, spreading his palm in front of me. I handed over the milk bottle in my hand. After unscrewing the cap, before the milky scent could drill into my nose. The creamy white liquid poured down from the top of my head. Nose tip, collarbone, collar, skirt hem. It seemed every place was stained with that smell, but except for me crying, everyone was laughing. "Hey, look at her like that, who is she seducing?" "I'm really impressed, Master Thorne, your bad taste..." My cheek was suddenly rubbed by a thumb. Caleb sat in front of me, supporting his chin. He pinched my chin and looked at me for a while. Sneered. "So ugly." "..." So, now I always hate milk. But the one who hates this the most is probably Caleb. After I knocked over the second glass of milk today, the servant who brought me milk almost knelt in front of me. "Miss... just drink it..." I turned my neck, saying I wouldn't. Then my gaze fell on the landline next to the sofa. I crawled over and pressed the buttons. This landline could only call one person's mobile phone. Only, the male voice answering the phone this time was not Caleb's voice. "Miss Qin?" Oh, it's Caleb's special assistant, the one who always drives. "I'm looking for Caleb." "He's in a meeting, Miss Qin..." "Then I'm coming over." I hung up without waiting for the other side to say anything. Entry and exit to this villa area were strict. There were security guards at the gate. I raised my head and told the security guard that I was going to Caleb's company. This is probably... the benefit of being about to marry Caleb. No one stopped me, and I walked unimpeded all the way to the top floor. Only when I was about to break into the meeting room, his special assistant stopped me. "Miss Qin, you can wait in the lounge next door first..." I pushed open the heavy door of the meeting room with one breath.
