Li Xueyue shot out of bed, panting and clawing at her throat for air. Tears moistened her eyes and suddenly, it was difficult to breathe. She could feel choked sobs rising in her body, but she suppressed them and simply hiccuped. No matter how hard she grabbed at her throat, the disgusting sensentation of hands choking her down could not be forgotten.
Days before she was left for dead in the forest, Zheng Leiyu had choked her, his eyes filled with menace when she confronted him about his intentions with Bai Tianai. He always did as he pleased with her, but had never once mentioned that he would marry her.
When the door to her room slammed open and bursts of rain and wind crashed in with it, Li Xueyue instantly reached for the knife under her pillow. Her eyes were locked on the door which was firmly shut behind him.
