Chapter 289 - Blacks Part One (2/2)

Her eyes shot open immediately her body fully submerged inside the deep, dark water.

She had never been so scared like she was at that moment. Because at that point, she thought it was over. She was going to die! If not from drowning, then probably from the cold.

No matter how she tried to swim up, she could not. Her heavy clothes were all soaked and was pulling her down no matter how hard she tried.

She could feel her lungs closing and her eyes finally closed while she gave up with the image of her Father and Aunt in her head.

”I am Sorry Father. I am sorry Aunt. I am sorry Weiyoung” She apologized in her mind to the only people in her life as she stopped struggling and gave up.

As she narrated, it felt like she was thrown back to that moment and she suddenly had goosebumps all over her body.

Muchen saw her shivering and held her tightly after pulling up the duvet to cover her properly. He knew it was not a physical cold. But there was nothing he could do at that point.

No wonder she did not like the waters. It finally registered to him. She had 'died'  there once. Must have been pretty traumatic for her.

”I'm sorry” Muchen kissed her temple and turned her face to look at him.

”It must have been difficult for you”

She bobbed her head up and down and tears escaped from her eyes. ”It was. It was very difficult” She admitted and wrapped her hands around his waist.

Ever since then, she did not only have nightmares of that night where she killed that man, she also had nightmares of how her body plunged into the deep, dark and cold water.

And whenever she woke up from that nightmare, it was always with cold sweat.

”When I woke up, I saw myself in an unfamiliar room. I had actually thought it was the afterlife. But then, I saw someone helping me clean my body. It was a young lady about four years older than I was then. She was called Jaz.”

”She had been so happy to see me awake and after tending to be a bit, she told me to make sure I run if I ever got the chance.”

”I was told I had been unconscious for five days and my first thought was to see my family. But that was impossible. I saw Hell instead”

That time, she had met Fuji for the first time when she was taken into his private chambers. She had heard rumours that she was the first underaged he had actually asked to see him privately. They all knew he only did women in their twenties so no one actually thought much but rather, were curious why he kept her.

She had screamed and refused to go since she was smart enough to know what probably awaited her. But no matter how hard she tried, the women were far stronger than her since they were obviously members of the gang.

When she arrived his chambers, he had looked at her lustfully and told her how pretty she was and how he had watched from the the car on that night as she ran for her dear life.

He had touched her cheek and impulsively, she slapped him hard on his face.

His eyes shot wide opened when she hit him. It was as if he had never been hit in his entire life and that was the first time someone dared do that.

His gaze turned cold and before she knew it, a group of men entered inside and dragged her out.

She had never in her life received the kind of beating she received that day. She was wiped all over her body and they told her they would stop if she agreed that she was wrong for hitting him. But no matter how much they wiped her, she did not relent and told them he was a piece of shit who deserved it.

She had thought they were going to beat her to death until the order came for them to stop.

For two days, she fell into unconsciousness.

She did not know the kind of concussion they had used on her body but she did not see the scars when she woke up. She only felt pain internally.

They had told her ”Fuji did not like women to be scarred” so they always made sure no scars were left on the ladies skins.

He asked her whether she wanted to go home, and promised to let her go if she went to bed with him. She had refused to show her tears to him and told him she would do anything else but not that.

Her Aunt had taken time to educate her on sex education. Her father had also told her to keep herself for the one she truly loved and would want to spend the rest of her life with. Besides, she was still going through the trauma of her near rape case. She did not want to have anything to do with this perverted old man. He was obviously in his forties while she was just fifteen!

He seemed to like how determined she was and told her the only way out was to be initiated into their gang.

He had promised to let her go after the initiation and she had been stupid enough to believe him.

After giving her a strange liquid to drink, she asked to go back he. But he had told her that part of her initiation required her to defeat the weakest member of each level and had asked her to train until she could beat them up.

She had cried and cussed him, and had even threatened to kill herself.

But he had warned her that if she dared kill herself, then her father and Aunt would die.

She had no choice but to keep training. A week turned to two, two turned to three and before she new it, months passed and yet, she could not defeat even the weakest one in level one.

She could not escape from his clutches because he seemed to be everywhere and whenever she tried to run away, she was seriously beaten when she was caught.

Her hair was cut short, her skin pale, her eyes, dead.

Everyone thought Fuji took her as his daughter and that was why he was being lenient with her. But she knew best. He was nothing but a disgusting perverted old man who wanted to sleep with her.
