At the Lord Seven-star Hotel...
Cindy Cheng was feeling inexplicably nervous and uneasy as she sat quietly in the wedding room.
She was going to get married with Horald Tao tonight, but her husband didn't show up yet.
They had been in love with each other for three years already. Horald Tao came from a financially stable family, even though they weren't exactly rich. He was diligent, hardworking and promising. Cindy Cheng was very satisfied with the man she dearly loved.
All she wanted was a peaceful and stable life with him.
Ding!
The door opened, but the lights suddenly went out.
The spacious suite had turned really dark. Its atmosphere suddenly felt so depressing.
"Horald, is that you?" Cindy Cheng called out. Her tensed breath almost got stuck in her throat.
No one responded to her, but the sound of the footsteps was approaching.
"Horald, can you turn on the light?" She was starting to get flustered. "Horald... Ah!"
A strange and barbaric force suddenly rushed over.
"You are not Horald! Who are you? Let go of me!" Cindy screamed form the top of her lungs as she tried to grab on anything around her. But her hands and feet felt too weak to move.
What happened to her?
"I'm your Brother Qin. Have you already forgotten about me? You fiance sold you to me as goods. Now, let me spend the wedding night with you," the man ordered.
'Brother Qin? Is he Claude Qin?' He was the son of the hospital president who had been desiring her.
Cindy Cheng's face became pale because of desperation. "Get out! Don't come near me!" she shouted.
"It took me a lot of time and effort just to get you. Tell me one good reason why I shouldn't touch you? Why don't you just give up? How about I let your fiance tell you the truth?"
Claude Qin suddenly pulled Cindy Cheng's hair. His face looked so ferocious as he started to lose his patience. Then, he dialed Horald Tao's number.
Cindy Cheng was feeling so humiliated.
The phone was quickly connected.
Before Cindy Cheng could shout at the phone for help, she was quickly shrouded with despair.
Horald spoke as gentle as usual,
"Mr. Qin, are you satisfied with my gift? Even though I will be married to Cindy, I have never done anything to her. Just keep your end of the bargain just like you promised, okay?"
"What did he promise you? Tell me!" Cindy demanded. She gritted her teeth and wailed in grief. The hatred present in her eyes was cold to the bones.
"Cindy..." Horald's voice suddenly froze.
Meanwhile, Cindy was trying so hard to control her emotions. Her heart felt too hurt to breathe. "Horald Tao, I'm your wife," she wailed.
"Yes, you are my wife. So you should help me. Mr. Qin said that President Qin would give me a house if I agreed to this. Not only that, but he'll also assign me as the director of the cardiosurgery department. Cindy, don't you know how much time and money I have spent on your brother? You owe me that much. If you screw this up for me, I'll cut off your brother's medical expenses!"
What Horald said stabbed into Cindy's heart like a sharp knife.
Despair overwhelmed her. She bitterly curled her lips and gritted her teeth. "Horald, you're not human! You're a sick man! If you dare touch my brother, I will definitely kill you!"
"Then don't let me down!" Horald then hung up the phone.
