22 The Angel, Broken, Stares Into the Abyss (1/2)

Yeo Ri did not want to do anything.

She didn't want to move. She didn't want to be awake, but she didn't want to pass out either. She also didn't want to cry anymore.

She stared upwards blankly, wondering how much longer she could take being in this situation. How much longer will he desire her body? How much longer does she need to endure?

For a moment she wondered if she should just end it all.

Gun and Hyuk's faces flashed in her mind. Their smiles, their worried looks, all their frowns and sorrows flashed in her head.

No—

Her heart skipped her beat. She berated herself for ever thinking of offing herself. How selfish of her.

Not now. Not when they are still trapped.

”Yeo Ri, remember to clean everything up. You don't want your brothers to find out, do you?” Lee Do Joon smirked. He snorted, ”though I wouldn't mind it if they do. I'd like to see what those two brats could ever do to me when they find out.” He chuckled in amusement, imagining their faces in his mind.

The girl flinched at the sound of his voice. She shifted her body, curling herself up in a foetal position, as if protecting herself.

The man looked over at her, smiling in the same disgusting way as he always did. While other women might have thought it to be charming, she couldn't see anything but the evil within.

Finally, the man left the house.

Yeo Ri stayed in the same position for a little while longer, but time was ticking. Gun or Hyuk could return home at any second. Reluctantly, she peeled herself off the couch and began cleaning up.

She wiped down the place where he had raped her and doused it with disinfectant. Then, she sprayed the air with air freshener, making sure that the disgusting smell did not linger.
