Life imprisonment!
That's right, Shi Yu was sentenced to die in prison after the murder of Luo Ya, the chief secretary of Glory international corporation's CEO, Xie Ming.
In a dim room with no single source of light, Shi Yu sat on the icy cold floor, her head buried between her knees.
Her whole body was weak, feverish and numb.
She had stayed in that same position for days. She had cried , grieved till she lost her voice and no more tears could come out of her eyes for countless days but she had no idea how many days she had spent so far in prison.
It had been 7 days since her sentencing.
She had not taken a single drop of water nor food.
Her mouth felt bitter. Her body was still in shock and disbelief. Her face was pale, her lips purple with bruises from biting them, her long black hair was messy.
She had completely fallen.
She was like a flower that had withered away in winter.
Her former glory, achievements and halo, all had gone down the drain.
She was lonely, sitting at the corner of a dark room, her friends gone, her family murdered...
And all of this was caused by her!
Falling in love with that bastard had cost the lives of everyone she cared for. She was regretful but unfortunately there was no medicine for regret.
...
Suddenly, Shi Yu raised her head weakly her eyes full of vigilance when she heard light footsteps approaching.
It was in the middle of the night.
For all the time that she had been locked up, she hadn't heard a single sound nor someone near her cell.
She had been purposely locked up in the furthest isolated cell away from everyone.
The room was completely dark, cold and the silence was hyptonizing. No food nor water had been delivered in the entire week. She was sick, dehydrated and on the brink of death.
The person behind this clearly wanted her to have a mental breakdown!
Shi Yu listened with narrowed eyes as the footsteps approached.
The footsteps couldn't be more familiar!
Hah, so much for his hatred. She was already destroyed, wasn't he satisfied?
" What do you want? Are you only satisfied till you see my blood, after all that's your hobby... "
Although her eyes had no soul or life in them, Shi Yu's voice was calm as she shone a sarcastic smile towards the dark figure Infront of her.
Xie Ming gazed at the delicate figure hunched at the corner of the room. His eyes were empty.
He was like a machine robot with no life or emotions.
Snapping a finger, a man with a murderous aura entered and lit up several candles lighting the previously dark room. The man then pulled a chair, wiped it clean and gestured for Xie Ming to sit down with a bow.
" Do you think you're worthy? "
Xie Ming's lips curled without showing a single emotion. His eyes were trained on the thin figure curled on the floor. She had lost a significant amount of weight but was not as broken and devastated as he had last seen her.
She was calm and indifferent as if nothing else in the world mattered to her anymore. It seemed as if she had completely lost her soul.
Shi Yu felt as if she had heard the funniest joke ever.
" Haha... Unworthy? " She laughed mockingly and sneered.
How comes she had never noticed how cruel this animal was?
" You said unworthy? Xie Ming, I've realized that not only are you heartless, you're also a shameless lowlife bastard! Don't you feel a sense of shame standing all high and mighty Infront of me claiming I'm unworthy?! "
Shi Yu spat at him, her cold eyes threatening to bore a hole at his forehead.
" You stand on your high moral ground yet instead of being a man you cozy up to a woman to obtain power and wealth, shouldn't I call you a golddigger? " She laughed coldly as if she had gone crazy.
" Haha... Mr Xie, would it be wrong if I call you a wh*re? After all, since we met every single coin you've used comes from my pocket. It wouldn't be wrong if we count that as payment for all your hard work and meticulous services, right? "
" Shut up! "
Xie Ming finally had a reaction on his expressionless face.
Shi Yu's voice was loud and it echoed throughout the empty room, her words piercing through his skin like sharp needles. His expression was ugly as he glared at her, his frosty eyes emitting a killing intent.
