Chapter 1 (2/2)
An hour ago, she was still in the bar with her ‘fiancé’ and best friend to celebrate their marriage that was supposed to take place a week after. She was incredibly elated at the thought that she could finally be with the person she loved.
A little while later, her best friend accompanied her to the bathroom… and from then on, she did not know what had happened next.
After she had regained her consciousness, her last moments’ thoughts… revolved around how she felt desolation and despair after the world betrayed her.
Rong Yan did not understand. What happened to the love they had before and the love they had now… Why did she end up in such a predicament?
Rong Yan felt her body being put into a rough sack, and next, she felt a rope being wrapped all around her with stones tied on each end.
They then hoisted her into the air, with the stones weighing her down. The two men shouted, “One… Two… Three. Throw!”
With a heave, they threw the sack into the icy river water and it made a huge splash. The piercing icy water slowly overwhelmed Rong Yan; it gushed into her mouth, nose, and ears… the breath of death enveloped her and the darkness grew heavier.
…
Rong Yan thought that she would die this time.
But, after the long darkness, she opened her eyes again.
She was lying in a shabby rented house. Looking around, the place she was at looked both familiar and unfamiliar. Rong Yan pinched herself hard. Wasn’t this the house she rented two years ago?
Why was she here?
There was a desk calendar on the table at the head of the bed. The date on it was March 2011…
A thought flashed past Rong Yan’s mind. She survived… She came back from the dead and returned to two years ago…
Rong Yan sat on the single bed and was in a daze for a long time.
She suddenly burst out laughing, but as she laughed, tears fell from her eyes.
With tears seeping from it, her eyes held a cruel and cold gaze. It was even colder than the river, like an evil spirit climbing out of Hell. That reckless madness was for what was coming next—destruction!
