Evershining Stars, Everlasting Love novel Chapter 9

"Nance Mo! How could you be this nasty! You make me sick!" Ignoring my question, Jerry Lu cursed at me and yelled. Then he came forward and yanked my hand, dragging me into the room.

I struggled in panic, screaming. Finally, I bit down hard on the back of Jerry’s hand. I felt like I was being driven crazy by him these days.

Jerry let go of his hand in pain and glared at me, cursing, "Bitch, how dare you bite me!"

Tears of anguish filled my eyes. Who made me like this? Was it me myself who had forced me to be this crazy? Of course not, Jerry's ugly face was getting bigger and bigger in my eyes, which was horrible to see.

"Jerry, let’s just get a divorce. You asked me to sleep with Vince Yi to save your company, I have done it as you wish. Your company has already passed through the crisis. I’m begging you, let me go. You can live a happy life with Duo Lian! Let’s stop torturing each other!" I wept, tears streaming down my face. I didn't want to cry about my three years of wasted youth. Someone wanted to destroy me, I had nowhere to hide.

"No way." Jerry rebuffed, "Nance, you’d better stay at home and listen to me. If you dare to go out at night again, don’t blame me for not warning you." After saying this, he shut the door heavily and left. I flung myself on the bed, burying my head under the covers and bursting into tears.

I was ready for a life-and-death struggle against him, but Jerry didn't violate me. I understood that in his heart he felt I was a dirty woman, hence he definitely wouldn't touch me. After all, he had put up with me for the past three years.

Jerry had a fetish about cleanliness. I was sure someone had fabricated a rumor that I was not a virgin when I married to Jerry. That’s why Jerry didn’t want to touch me these years. But in order to win that bet, he treated my family and me very nice.

Now that I had known the truth, I felt every moment I stayed with him was torment for me. I hadn't worked for three years, which meant I was just a loser who had accomplished nothing now.

I was aware that if I chose to leave Jerry, I would have to step into the society which was a brand new world to me now. As to whether I would continue to work as a model, I had lost my confidence, to be honest.

After crying for a long time, I slowly sat up, looking around the room in sadness and solitude. It was a room that completely belonged to me, the original design of the decoration was done by me. However, it had became a beautiful cage, locking me tightly in this miserable marriage.

I didn't eat anything, sitting quietly on my bed all day and night. I laid down when I was tired. I chose the most extreme way to confront Jerry; I went on a hunger strike.

Juerry came back late at night, didn't notice anything unusual about me. Seeing me stay in bed, he went to his guest room to sleep without saying a word. The next morning, he left again. But in the afternoon he returned and kicked my door open, went in, and pulled me out of bed. I was so hungry that I had no strength to resist.

"You want to die, don't you?" Jerry yelled at my ear viciously.
