*Drip* *Drip*
The water dripped from the tap in the corner of the room, while I laid on the cold floor silently each day waiting for my death.
It's been months since I have been trapped in this room inside the mental institution. Each day I wait on him, clinging onto the very little hope I had left. Once, not even once did he come to check on me and the only reason I could think of was that I had been abandoned. My husband, Hao Li Qiang had abandoned me completely.
We have been married for five years but never once had he looked towards gently or talked to me. He treated me like I never existed. I had known Li Qiang since we were young, he was big brother's best friend and I had fallen for him at first sight. I worked hard to become his wife but he never showed any interest in me.
'Why? Just why?
I loved him so much but why did he do this to me.
Why does he treat me so indifferently?
Why did he despise me so much?
Was I wrong from the start? Did he never once love me? Did he just use me and threw me. He destroyed my family just for her?'
Her, my sweet cousin, Li Rongrong, he was always concerned about her, why? Did he love her?
Maybe brother was right after all, I shouldn't have chased after him, I shouldn't have loved him, if I did what I was told, then maybe it wouldn't have led to our families diminish.
'I miss you father, mother, brother.' 'Where did you leave me behind? I'm sorry, its all my fault that all this happened. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, sorry.
*Creakkkk*
The door to the room slowly opened and I looked up to see who it was, hoping it might be him.
"Oh! Look, if it isn't my cousin Li Ming Yue. How are you? You are still alive after ending up in this situation, you were better of dead."
I looked at her eyes clearly seeing the disgust she harbours towards me. "W-Why di-id you do it? Why did y-you lie to h-him? Why did you destroy my family?" I mustered slowly as I didn't have any strength left due to being starved for days.
She looked at me as if amused at my question. "You know Cousin, you are so naive, that's why you're so easy to fool. I didn't do anything it was all your husband who did whatever happended to your family. He just asked me who had caused the accident and I just a very little lie, that it was you since you were jealous of me. And that's all it took for him to destroy your family. You being here, you brother being mysteriously killed, your family's bankruptcy, it was all his doing."
I looked at her astonished, so it was him after all. He really did do those things.
'I had heard about it from my relatives a few months ago that it was him who caused my families bankruptcy, so I had gone to his company to confront him but I was captured and put in this mental asylum since then. I was tortured in the hospital for months, I held onto the very little hope that maybe he would come and rescue me but never had I had expected that this was all his doing.'
I wanted to cry but no tears came out of my eyes. I only felt numb like something had broken within me not allowing me to cry or speak.
