Vivian couldn't breathe.
After waiting for such a long time, he had finally laid claim on her.
From that day onwards, she could only belong to him and no one else.
Her body ached everywhere.
When Vivian finally woke up the next morning, it felt like she'd just been crushed under a truck before being glued back together.
She just felt so tired and fatigued, from her head to the tips of her toes.
All of a sudden, last night's memories flooded back into her head and started playing like a movie.
Chow finally did it with her last night.
Vivian opened her eyes with a start and looked to the side.
There was no one around her. In fact, she realised that her surroundings had become a lot more familiar.
At some point, Chow had brought her back to her room.
She could still feel the tremors in her body. Vivian's entire body had been marked by him.
"I-I belong to you, only you... I'm yours..." Vivian had already lost count of how many times Chow had coaxed her to say it the last night.
He rammed harder into her every time she said it aloud.
She wanted to forget all of it, but how could she?
Even if she had been terrified, she was still fully awake and conscious when he did all of that to her. She could remember everything clearly.
She even remembered how Chow's face looked when it was covered in sweat.
Could she really forget such intimate memories if she tried?
Vivian bit her lower lip. Her heart kept pounding against its cage.
In hindsight, she knew that this day was inevitable.
With Chow sneaking into her room every other night, she knew that it wouldn't be long before they finally did the deed.
That was why she begged for him to at least wait until the day she turned eighteen.
She had initially planned to escape to a college thousands of miles away and leave him before her eighteenth birthday.
Now, Vivian was really afraid that Chow would walk out of her life.
Just like now, she didn't even get to wake up in his embrace.
Tears gradually started falling from the corners of her eyes. She hurriedly wiped them away and buried herself farther under the blankets.
Creak—
The door creaked open. Light footsteps followed.
Vivian's whole body immediately tensed up. She peeked out from under the covers and looked at the door, only to find that it wasn't who she thought it was.
It was Aunt Blaine, the only helper allowed to roam freely in the main building.
When Aunt Blaine saw that Vivian was awake, she hurried over and placed a breakfast tray on the bedside table.
Vivian's face blushed a deep red. She lowered her head, having no courage to even look at Aunt Blaine. "Aunt Blaine," she greeted softly.
Aunt Blaine had always known about the twisted relationship between her and Chow. Of course, she had never approved of it.
Vivian was suddenly aware of the fact that Aunt Blaine must already know what had happened the night before.
