Jack pounced on me as he spoke.
With my hands and feet tied, I was unable to dodge. I was suddenly pressed down by Jack.
The cold ground would only make me feel more scared.
"Jack, wake up. Let go of me. I have my man. I'm married."
I shouted to him but Jack didn't listen to me and said, "Don't lie to me. Why did a married woman show up in public and act the sexy scene?"
Jack said, touching my clothes.
Jack pulled my clothes a few times but failed to take them off. Then he tried to pull my pants again.
"Go away. Don't touch me -"
I knew my words were useless, but I didn't know what else I could do.
The feeling at that time was like when I was sold by my mother, powerless, and nothing could change.
Tears streamed down. At that moment, the person I thought of was Robbie. I wanted him to save me as he had done before.
"Jack, what are you doing?"
Someone jumped off the stage in a hurry.
The one who came pulled Jack's collar away from me and flashed the light of her flashlight on my face.
"Isn't that Jasmine? Jack, how could you bring Jasmine here? Do you know that their men are searching for her everywhere? There is a pot of hot pot outside."
I couldn't open my eyes because of the flashlight, but I still heard the voice. It was Annie.
At that moment, I seemed to see a glimmer of hope. I struggled to sit up and shouted, "Annie, Annie, help me! Help me out!"
"Don't be afraid, I'll untie it for you right now."
Annie then squatted down and was about to untie me.
Jack, however, pushed Annie away. "Don't let her go. It's her who lets off Warren. I have lost my money, and my wife. I won't let her go. She must stay here to be my wife."
Annie stood up and hit Jack's chest a few times. "Are you crazy? Look at yourself. Could Jasmine be your wife? She is an actress and a star. It's impossible for you to do that? Can her crew let you do that? Can police let you do that? Don't make any trouble for yourself and your brother. Okay?"
You couple slept in the same bed all day long, so your say that so easy. Have you ever thought about me?"
"If we do not think about you, we wouldn't have agreed to give you money to buy a wife. Now it seems that we are wrong. Look at what you have done? If I didn't come to you, what terrible thing would you do to Jasmine? Let go of her. You are twenty years older than her. You can be the father of her now."
Annie said and untied me again.
But Jack stopped her again.
Annie was not strong enough to tear Jack apart. So she picked up the flashlight and pointed at him, "Okay. If you won't let her go, you cannot touch her. Can you hear me?"
Annie climbed up the ladder.
Jack asked in a hurry, "What are you doing?"
"I'll ask someone for help. I don't believe I can't beat you!"
Hearing Annie's words, Jack immediately ran up to her and grabbed her trousers, "Are you my sister-in-law?"
"Because I'm your sister-in-law, I can't watch you go astray."
