Chen Zhi bit her lips tightly, her once bright red lips now devoid of any color.
In her confusion and dizziness, she felt like a tiny boat on the vast ocean, drifting aimlessly, at any moment capable of being swallowed by the sea.
Chen Zhi panicked, scared.
She tried hard to think of her mother's face. Thinking of her mother's critically ill appearance, her heart became firm.
Nothing was frightening, losing her mother—that would be truly terrifying.
She must be strong, she must overcome psychological barriers, she must move forward without looking back!
*****************
The night deepened, the world grew quieter, and at some point, everything ended.
As soon as the man left her body, Chen Zhi felt a cold shiver throughout her body. Exhausted, she closed her eyes and instinctively grabbed the blanket to wrap around her body, buried her head in the pillow like a wounded little animal, curled up, and fell into a deep sleep.
Si Ye came out of the bathroom, saw her pitiful state, and a cold laugh flashed through his dark eyes, along with a chill.
That's all it took to defeat her?
The real torment was still to come. He would make her understand what pain was, what hurt was, what hell was!
Revenge had only just begun!
............................
When she opened her eyes again, it was already eleven in the morning.
The man beside her had long since left the villa, although he too had not slept all night, he possessed great spirit and physical strength.
Chen Zhi gritted her teeth and propped herself up, feeling pain and weakness in her legs, unable to exert any effort.
Looking at the bruises all over her body, she couldn't help but gasp for air.
Tears almost spilled out, but when she saw the check for five hundred thousand on the nightstand, she forced them back.
Chen Zhi, you cannot cry!
This was the path you chose, you have no right to cry!
Since it had happened already, consider it a nightmare.
Now that you're awake, everything is past, you should forget about all of last night and continue with your life.
To avoid more pain, she could only desperately comfort herself, only by doing so, could she feel a bit better.
With much effort, she managed to sit up in bed, and her gaze inadvertently fell on the sheets.
The white sheets, dotted with fresh red, a testament to her selling her body last night.
Chen Zhi's chest tightened with pain, she turned her head hurriedly, quickly got dressed and washed up, and rushed downstairs, eager to leave this suffocating place.
As she arrived downstairs and was about to leave the villa, the housekeeper, Zhou Ma, suddenly came forward to stop her and said mechanically, "Miss Chen, the young master has ordered that you move in today, someone will come to collect your belongings shortly."
Chen Zhi opened her eyes wide in shock, "Why? I don't want to move in here!"
Wasn't it agreed that it was only for one night? Could Si Ye be going back on his word?
Zhou Ma's expression was indifferent, "These are the young master's orders, if you have any questions, you can ask him."
"No need, I won't be moving in anyway," Chen Zhi said, and without looking back, she left the villa.
It was agreed, only for one night. Now that the transaction was complete, she had no reason to stay.
