On one side it was the comfort of a good friend and on the other side was the deep affection of Collin. It was so stifling that she felt difficulty in breathing. What can she say that can enable Collin to forget about her dirty body? Mia bit on the lips and stared into the mirror, deep in her thoughts.
A slender figure waited quietly at the door and looked at the woman who was staring at herself in the mirror. He clenched his teeth as he said, “You are really something. Not long after you sold yourself you managed to become the girlfriend of a rich kid? You are moving up the clientele ladder!”
When she spun around, Mia’s body almost slumped onto the ground. The hellish voice already made her body reject it. Mia looked coldly at William in disbelief, bit down on her lips, and finally found her voice, “Mister Brown, I think these are my personal matters and none of your business.”
What right did he have to question her? They had already broken all contacts and never to be involved in each other’s lives. She felt justified when she thought about this. She steeled herself land turned towards him, “Excuse me, Mister Brown.”
“Shameless!” William suddenly raged. He grabbed her hand and tossed her. His yell reverberated loudly within the small restroom and hurt the ears. Mia fell onto the cement edge of the washbasin. Her back throbbed in pain as if it was broken in two. Her body slumped onto the floor.
Once the sharp pain eased and she regained her strength, she lifted her pale face and blood drained lips, “What the hell are you doing, Mister Brown? Are you going back on your words? I see that Collin respects you wholeheartedly. What will he think if he finds out that you are such a petty man?”
“Are you threatening me?” The tall and overbearing figure with darkness towered over her head. He lifted her by her collar and Collin’s jacket slid off onto the floor. William looked at her chillingly and threateningly like daggers shooting from his eyes.
She strained her neck and at this moment he was as scary as the devil.
“You want so much to be his girlfriend? What if he finds out that you’ve slept with me and had a transaction, will he still want you?”
Why does it have to be like that? Mia closed her eyes helplessly. She didn’t want to be involved with Collin but if the news of her past were to leak out, she would have difficulty living with it. She couldn’t bear with the thought of others looking at her as a prostitute.
Her eyebrow twitched several times before she softly begged, “Please don’t, I beg you…”
“Oh? You are so concerned about this relationship?” William didn’t hold back and wanted to hurt her absolutely. He thought about her cries and struggles when she was with him and now with Collin, she was all tender and gentle. He can’t help but rage. He didn't know that this was jealousy and he just shouted, “I need to do the society a service by getting rid of a scheming slut like you!”
She was a parasite? Was this what he thought of her all this while and why he was so cruel towards her? Mia’s heart sank and her small hands twisted his sleeve, “You can kill me … but you can’t slander me.”
“Kill you? That’s too simple!” He violently flung her down, William grabbed a bunch of her hair. What’s wrong with him? She no longer was involved with him. She could be with anyone she chose. Why was he so angry?
“Damn you!” He shouted violently at Mia who looked on in fear. He simply didn’t want her to have a peaceful life and said, “Mia, I’m going to tell Collin that you are a shameless woman. You are a woman who can be bought with money. Of course, I won’t forget to tell him how enchanting it was to fuck you!”
Slap! A huge feeling came over her and she forgot her fear of him and swung with all her might and landed a slap across his face. All this happened in a flash.
The slap left an imprint of the hand onto the face. Blood drained from Mia’s face and she looked at her hand in disbelief. William winced in pain as the slap practically deformed his face. He smirked and said, “How dare you hit me!” His voice thundered of anger and rage. His face displayed a burning rage and cruelly declared, “Now, immediately I will let him know your filth!”
Her body moved forward and she was helpless about it. The huge hands clenched down on her body and she writhed painfully and helplessly like a leaf destroyed by the autumn wind.
She doesn’t dare to think about what will happen next. She bit down so hard that she began to taste the thick blood. Tears of despair started to flow.
A cell phone started to ring. William took out his cell phone as he lifted her up. He yelled after accepting the call, “What? Sophia fainted?!”
Mia’s body drifted down like a leaf falling from the tree. Her entire body was shivering. William had already left in big strides but traces of his violence lingered on.
When will this nightmare come to an end?
“Mia, what happened to you?!” Brooke screamed in shock as she ran over and looked at Mia who had collapsed onto the floor. She shook her head weakly as her body ached. Brooke tried in vain to lift her up.
“You’re hurt, who did it, let’s call the police!” Brooke saw the bruises and took out her cell phone.
Mia mustered all her strength and stopped her finger. She shook her head, “It’s useless…”
“It’s that man…”
She clenched her teeth and nodded. The pale small face was obviously laden with fear.
