But this strange thing is far from over.
In the following days, every time I woke up, I felt uncomfortable all over, as if I had been crushed by something heavy. I subconsciously touched my body and felt a dull pain in my lower body.
Moreover, I always felt that there were other men outside peeping at me, whether I was taking a shower or watching TV in the living room. This feeling of being watched made me very uneasy. I often saw a figure passing by outside the window, which made me more certain that I was being watched.
I suddenly remembered the man who broke into my house that night and the man who was watching me outside the restaurant. Their figures gradually overlapped in my mind, and I increasingly felt that they were the same person. He might be looking for an opportunity to retaliate against me, and this thought sent shivers down my spine, filling me with fear.
I have thought about calling the police, but when I picked up the phone, I suddenly realized that I couldn't produce concrete evidence to prove my suspicions. It feels like being trapped in an invisible cage, unable to break free.
After weighing the pros and cons, I have decided to go to a lawyer first to prepare for divorce proceedings.
Perhaps, this is the only choice I can make for now.
That day I went directly to the lawyer's office and got the divorce agreement for Chen Ming, but he didn't even look at it and refused directly.
"Chen Ming, our marriage is already in name only. When you abused me, I recorded it. If you don't sign, I will resolve it through legal means," I said coldly.
He suddenly exploded in anger when he heard my words, pointing at me and cursing, "You are really despicable. You have been freeloading off me for so many years, and now you want to cut ties with me with just a few words?"
"Freeloading? Haven't you spent my money before? Have I not paid the rent?"
"Damn it, I haven't even settled the score with you for making me wear a green hat!"
His curses became increasingly offensive, each word feeling like a knife stabbing into my heart. Gradually, my head started to spin, and my body uncontrollably collapsed.
"I don't know how long I've been unconscious. When I woke up again, I was already in a hospital bed, and a female nurse was standing next to me, giving me an IV."
"What's wrong with me?" I asked the nurse.
She adjusted the IV tube and said, "Don't you know? Congratulations, you're pregnant. Be mindful of your emotions and try not to get upset easily."
"What? Is it Chen Ming's child?" I muttered in a daze.
This news is hard for me to accept for a moment. I sat blankly on the hospital bed, my mind in turmoil. This child may bring more trouble and distress to my life, and I don't even know how to face this sudden change.
On the third day of my hospital rest, Chen Ming came to see me. What puzzled me was that his attitude had improved significantly, becoming gentle and considerate.
He brought over the chicken soup he made himself and said, "Here, drink it while it's hot."
I pushed him away and said, "You can leave. I've made up my mind to divorce this marriage. You don't need to pretend to care."
His expression changed and he threw the bowl onto the nearby table. "Divorce is fine, but I have one condition: you have to give birth to the child for me first."
"What's wrong with you? There's no way I'm giving you the child!"
What really surprises me is how could he possibly want custody of the child? In my impression, he doesn't like children at all. He usually finds children noisy and is very disgusted by them.
What is Chen Ming really up to?
He stared at me for a while before speaking, "Are you sure you want to do this? How can an unemployed woman like you raise a child, especially when you're pregnant and need someone to take care of you?"
"I don't need you to worry about me!"
"Don't just toast without eating, or you'll have to drink as a penalty."
He took out his phone and showed me a photo, it was a picture of the bed from before, I didn't know when he took it, and I didn't know why he took such a picture.
Chen Ming looked at my terrified expression and coldly smiled, "If you dare to divorce, I will post these photos online. Let everyone see the true face of Zheng Siyu."
For a moment, my heart was in chaos, my mind blank. I never expected Chen Ming to threaten me so despicably. If these photos were to be leaked, my reputation would be ruined.
I thought for a long time, gritting my teeth as I looked at him: "You are really despicable."
He stared at me and laughed. A sense of shame surged up in my heart, but agreeing to his conditions was also my delaying tactic. I needed to find an opportunity to delete all the photos from his phone.
We returned to that run-down neighborhood once again.
In the evening, I lay in bed tossing and turning, feeling unusually heavy-hearted. Chen Ming brought a bowl of hot soup, claiming it was good for pregnancy, with an unnatural smile on his face.
I took the bowl, but noticed a strange look in his eyes when he glanced at my belly. I felt a sudden unease, a sense of foreboding.
" Siyu, this is the Fetal-nourishing soup I just finished brewing. Drink it while it's hot," he said.
Since I got pregnant, Chen Ming has been brewing Fetal-nourishing soup for me every day. But I always feel a little strange, as if something has been added to the soup.
The room was filled with all kinds of strange puppets, each of them stuck with silver needles.
In order not to arouse his suspicion, I tried my best to stay calm and pretended to drink the soup as if nothing was wrong. However, as soon as the soup touched my lips, I felt nauseous. I forced myself to endure the discomfort and drank the soup.
Chen Ming left the room satisfied with the bowl in hand, and I immediately went to the bathroom, desperately trying to induce vomiting to get rid of the soup.
I stayed in the bathroom for a long time, and when I returned to the room, I found Chen Ming had already fallen asleep. I carefully took his phone and planned to delete the photos he had secretly taken.
Just as I was using his fingerprint to unlock the phone, he suddenly opened his eyes fiercely and stared at me with a fierce look in his eyes. I knew something was wrong, but it was too late to react.
"What are you doing?" he asked sternly.
I replied calmly, "I was just looking at your phone."
He sneered and said menacingly, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Let me tell you, Zheng Siyu, I have backed up a lot of photos. If you dare to divorce me, I will post these photos online. Not only you, I won't spare even your mother!"
I can't believe how he could become so crazy. I angrily questioned him, "What do you want? If you dare to touch my mom, I will never let you off!"
"As long as you treat me well, your mom will be safe."
That night, I tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, filled with fear and helplessness. I knew that I was firmly under Chen Ming's control, and there was no way to escape his threat.
