Hui Yin clawed her way out of the suffocating darkness, desperately trying to breathe.

There was something heavy on top of her, and as she struggled, it forcefully held her down. Kisses rained down on the soft skin of her neck, and Hui Yin made a soft sound of protest.

"No...please stop. Stop!"

She forced her eyes to open.

A familiar pale blue ceiling greeted her, with blue curtains and celebrity posters on the walls.

Hui Yin blinked.

It looked similar to her apartment when she was still twenty-two.

"Stop?" asked a dangerously low voice.

Her eyes focused on the man above her, who looked so sinfully handsome that a woman could take one look at him and immediately fall under his spell. A pair of dark, fathomless eyes stared back at her, looking displeased.

Hui Yin bolted upright.

"Lu Shen!" she exclaimed, and tried to get out of the bed.

But the man continued to grip her arms, imprisoning her under his body. Hui Yin struggled harder, but Lu Shen didn't ease his hold. In fact, he just held her even tighter.

"Let me go!"

Hui Yin could feel panic clawing its way out of her throat, fear tasting bitter in her tongue. There were no extremes Nian Zhen and Lu Shen would choose not to go, as long as they got rid of her.

Nian Zhen would push her on the way of an incoming car just to get rid of her baby, and Lu Shen was choking her to death so that Hui Yin would never be able to tell anyone about it.

In desperation, Hui Yin bit the man's arm with her teeth. As he loosened his hold on her in surprise, Hui Yin jumped out of the bed and grabbed the lamp on her bedside table. She raised it above her head, ready to swing it on Lu Shen in case he lunged at her.

But the man on the bed didn't move. He stared at Hui Yin, looking surprised.

The girl stood in front of him with a lamp on her right hand, her chest heaving up and down. Despite the wild look in her eyes, Lu Shen could not help the desire that filled his body as he stared at her.

Jet-black hair framed her small face in soft waves, some strands sticking on her flushed cheeks. Her nightgown had hiked up, showing her creamy white legs.

Against his will, a certain appendage on his lower body stood up and took notice.

Hui Yin glared at the man that was trying to kill her. She was both feeling fear and desire—after all, she had loved him for nearly a lifetime. Although she clearly knew better, it would be hard for her to forget her feelings for him so easily.

"Get out," she demanded, trying to hide how much the lamp shook in her trembling hands.

"Get out, or I'll call the police."

Lu Shen stared at her for a second longer, then shook his head. He grabbed his phone and coat, then walked over to the door.

Before he went out, he gave her a frosty glance.

"You're a crazy girl, Hui Yin," he said, then slammed the door behind him.
