Survival in Desperation: Breaking Free from Darkness
墨書 Inktalez
I woke up to the strong smell of smoke.
The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was the peeling wall and a ceiling that looked like it could collapse at any moment.
Where am I?
Before I could gather my thoughts, a sharp pain shot through my jaw.
I was forced to tilt my head back, staring at the unfamiliar man who pulled the cigarette from his mouth.
In the next moment, he gripped my chin and shoved the cigarette butt into my mouth.
"Cough, cough..."
I choked on it, tears streaming down my face.
The man let out a mocking laugh, full of derision.
"Well, woman, you finally woke up."
Memories slowly came flooding back.
Just a few minutes ago, I had been out shopping.
On the side of the road, an elderly woman with white hair had stopped me.
"Young lady, I'm hungry. Could you buy me a bowl of noodles?"
Seeing the pitiful look on her face, I nodded without thinking.
But just as I was about to pay, the old woman stopped me.
"Miss, I'm going to eat here. Can you join me?"
At that thought, I suddenly jolted awake.
I remembered that in that unremarkable noodle shop, after I followed the old lady inside.
Just as I was about to take out my phone to pay the bill.
The moment I entered the shop, someone had covered my mouth and nose!
When I opened my eyes again, it was like this.
My heart sank to the bottom as I felt the dampness of the floor beneath me.
The pain in my body hit me at that moment.
In an instant, I understood what had happened.
I had originally thought I was just being trafficked, but unexpectedly...
My stomach churned violently, and I almost vomited bile.
That old lady and that man were in cahoots!
They had set up such a trap to lure me into this place!
"Beast..."
I used all my strength but could only utter this powerless curse.
"Woman, what is your name?"
The man was burly, with a raw gaze that made me feel exposed.
His large, dark hands made me want to retch.
Yet, despite my physical discomfort, an idea struck me.
"Big Brother, please let me go. I'll give you whatever you want."
"I promise I won't say a word about this."
Upon hearing my plea, the man indeed loosened his grip.
But in the next moment, he spoke a string of words in a dialect I couldn't understand.
"What did you say?"
Perhaps sensing my urgency, he switched to Mandarin and said:
"You are now my Wife, and you are not going anywhere!"
"As long as you behave, once we have children, I will take care of you for life."
His words sent a chill down my spine.
I felt like I was losing my mind.
"Let me go!"
"Help!—"
I struggled desperately against him.
However, I was restrained by the man with one hand.
“Woman, you’re too weak,” he said.
As soon as the words left his mouth, he lunged at me.
“My name is Zhao Yue. Remember it well, woman.”
“I…”
I desperately tried to evade him, but my hands and feet were tightly bound by ropes, leaving me unable to move.
The feeling of being violated again made me wish for death.
I nearly bit my teeth to pieces.
Zhao Yue untied the ropes binding me.
But in their place was a chain fastened around my neck.
I felt like a dog.
Every day, I awaited my master’s favor.
I didn’t know when this torment would end.
Perhaps with death.
Yet despite everything, I continued to eat as usual every day.
I couldn’t give up.
My heart was filled with a deep aversion to death.
And a hatred for Zhao Yue.
Since that day, Zhao Yue had not stepped outside again.
Aside from tormenting me in bed, he would just stare at my belly and sigh.
“Woman, why aren’t you pregnant yet?”
“If you don’t conceive soon, I’ll have to send you away.”
Zhao Yue’s words sent a chill through me.
“Where are you sending me?”
“To Uncle Liang Wu ’s house.”
The worry on Zhao Yue’s face only deepened.
“ Uncle Liang Wu is getting old and can’t move, so you need to behave yourself.”
“If you’re not pregnant by the end of this month, I will send you away.”
“The Wang Ermazi from the neighboring village also wants a wife.”
