I knew I had been imprisoned, as the room was completely strange to me.
The window was far from the floor and even if I stood on the bed, I couldn’t see what was outside.
Instinctively, I was seized with panic about the unknown in an instant.
But such a feeling only lasted for a short while. At the thought of my baby, I regained my composure gradually.
Sitting on the bed, I stared at my flat belly in a trance while stroking it gently.
It was hard to believe that a baby was growing inside.
I was at a loss when I found out about my pregnancy at the beginning, but at the moment, I was somehow looking forward to the birth of my baby.
I thought it was the only thing that comforted me after suffering so much recently.
For a moment, I even began to imagine our happiness just around the corner.
However, before I could think further, Zhao Dong came in, followed by Xiao Yue. They both wore a grim expression.
“Lin Feng, come on! You may leave as soon as you sign the agreement,” Zhao Dong persuaded me in an earnest tone as he handed me a new divorce agreement.
As I was certain that its content must have been still in their favor, I pushed the agreement away with a snort.
“Lin Feng, you two are done! Why are you still trying to get entangled with Dong?” Before Zhao Dong, who was wearing a sullen look, could say anything, Xiao Yue reprimanded in fury.
With that, she took Zhao Dong’s hand, as if showing off their intimacy deliberately in front of me.
“Well, I’ll sign it as long as you agree to pay the debts of the company. What’s more, you should give me my share before I move out of our house,” I said with a smile, trying to make myself look unconcerned.
I had done so much for Zhao Dong in the past five years but ended up like this. So I would be lying if I say that I didn’t hate him.
But I had my own dignity and self-respect. The more they wanted to see me down, the more I was determined to convince them that I didn’t care at all.
As expected, they seemed to be taken aback at my attitude, and the teasing words they had already organized well got stuck in their throats.
Their faces grew even grimmer.
Next, they resorted to all kinds of measures, but still failed. Then Zhao Dong walked away, leaving his threat to me.
As Xiao Yue didn’t leave with him, I knew for sure that she had something to say to me when I saw her staring at me expressionlessly.
However, to my surprise, she walked over and gave me a hard push.
Caught off guard, I staggered backward and bumped against the wall.
While I was still laughing at my naive assumption that she was going to apologize, she rushed over and slapped me without saying a word.
Then she grabbed me by the collar and roared angrily, “Ha, you bitch! You just can’t stand the two of us together, so you refused to divorce him regardless of the fact that he never loved you!”
I was about to slap back, but when I heard what she said, I suddenly stiffened. My disguise was crushed, and my heart was bleeding again.
In the five years of our marriage, I had been treating him with my heart and soul.
After quite a while, I came back to my senses before I slapped her back in the face viciously.
Anyway, she was the last person in the world who was in the position to teach me a lesson.
Flying into a rage, she was about to beat me again when she suddenly heard Zhao Dong calling her. Although she didn’t want to give up, she had to leave. “Let’s see what will come next!” she stormed out of the room after threatening me.
Watching her leave, I looked down and touched my belly with a self-mocking smile.
Now, the baby and my brother were my only moral support.
I was lucky to have them.
This was the only thing I felicitated, which could keep me going.
Xiao Yue meant what she said. After a while, she came back and attempted to force me to sign the divorce agreement again.
After I turned her down again, she rushed towards me, holding a stick.
I was very weak from my pregnancy and was no match for her at all. Therefore, after a while, I lost all my strength to fight back.
The stick kept falling on my feet and arms heavily, but I gritted my teeth to prevent myself from crying out. I curled up on the floor, trying to protect my belly.
Xiao Yue didn’t stop until she was exhausted. “You deserve it!” she said contemptuously before leaving.
I was too feeble to rise to my feet. Lying on the floor, I managed to maintain my last trace of consciousness as I glared at her receding figure.
