Chapter 62: Was that his facade?

She clutched the pen tight, still refusing to sign the papers. Not like she cares about money, but she wanted to mortgage these shares to fund money for her mother's dream of starting her own boutique.

"You don't believe me," Qi Wren's low growl sounded, "Is this I got after sacrificing myself to get married to you?"

She frowned, looked up at his blurred face. "Sacrificed? What are you saying? Haven't you said to mom and dad that you've fallen for me the moment we met? And that you'll always cherish me?"

"Oh! Is this the reason why you're doing this to me?" His nails dug on her thighs. Ignoring her wince, he chuckled darkly. "You are getting back to me because I've not given you 'that'."

"Wren!!" her face cringed.

"Fine, don't give." His grip on her loosened as he got up, "I'll tell your father you are still a virgin even after four months of marriage. How do you think he would react?"

His words actually shocked her. Never had she dreamed that one day her husband would say this. It was his own decision to give her time and let her familiarize herself with everything. And she was really grateful for it.

Least was she aware one day he would use it against her.

Was it her illusion?

Or was it all acting?

It was an arranged marriage where her grandfather and aunt pushed her to meet Qi Wren. Though she requested her parents to give her more time, their answer was the same old what every girl hears.

'You cannot run from it forever. One day you have to get married. Maybe he is the chosen one for you. Your Mr. Right!'

Mr. Right!?

The only face that pops up after hearing this word was Dr. Wang Shi's. But who was she fooling? No matter how tall you are, you cannot touch the moon in the sky.

Giving in to her fate, she accepted her family's decision and met Qi Wren.

With just two meetings, her grandfather sealed her fate. They didn't bother to ask her opinion and thoughts. Her parents at least heard her and tried talking sense into Patriarch Zhao's ear to give her a year or two and let her finish her studies.

But her aunt never let that happen.

Eventually, she was tied to Qi Wren.

But on the first night, he didn't touch her and left for the other room with the kind words. 'Take your time.'

Was that his facade?

Suyin heard the sound of doorknob click and rushed to stop him. Despite struggling with her vision, she held the corner of his shirt. "Dad got a stroke last month. Please."

"You know what to do,"

After getting the documents signed, he left her into a crying mess on the floor and walked away. All she heard was the sound of the door click.

Completely oblivious, the night's still long.

Don't know how long it passed, she was still sitting on the floor, dazed. Her stupor broke with the sound of the door click as she looked up. "Who?"

Her eyes faintly detected a tall figure. He reeked of alcohol. "Wren?"

"Yeah. It's me." He wobbled on his steps and stood near her. "I don't have a woman for the night. So have no other option but to use you."

"WREN!! Behave yourself. Must you use such words for me? I'm your wife." She swiped her wet cheek. "You are drunk. Sleep.. AHHH."

"Don't you hear what I say?" his hands grabbed her throat. "Wife or w*ore. You are the same."

Feelings his hands lifting her nightdress, she wriggled, "Wren no. I have got an exam tomorrow." Her words came choked.

Hell exam! She just wanted an excuse to free herself.

"No. Your exam is tonight. It is to satisfy your husband." He pushed her, and she fell on the bed with force. "Though I hate this ugly face of yours. But in the end you are a woman, equipped with the right thing I needed at the moment."

His words were beyond disrespectful. No husband would use it for his wife.

She tried to run, but he pinned her down. She hadn't expected him to be so strong that his weight and grip would make her helpless. He turned her over, slide her clothes up. "Wren. Please. Don't do this. I'm not ready."

"As if I care You're just disposable for me,"

Every facet of Qi Wren's personality was laid bare that night.

"AHHHHH."

What followed was the endless tortures until she lost her consciousness He tore into her as if she just a lump of meat. A thing that was only good to satisfy a man's physical needs.

The next day she woke up with 'purple' and 'red' flowers blossoming on her body.

It was beautiful

So beautiful that she would always remember the art of the artist.

Even today she asks herself many times if it was a r*pe or her husband making love to his wife. After all, he was her legally wedded husband. She was his legally wedded wife. Everything was LEGAL in their relationship.

It was his right to claim her.

There's no such thing as husband raping his wife..

"Mam, it's done. Shall we start with a pedicure?"

Suyin opened her eyes at the words of the masseuse. The massage was meant to relax her body and mind, but for some reason, she felt exhausted.

"No.... head massage with warm oil. And get an accu therapist too for my next treatment," Suyin closed her eyes again. This time she seriously needed a nap.

"Sure,"
