Volume One, Chapter One: Caught Again

Hiding inside a trash bin, Su Yu had already been wandering outside for two days.

From her previous experience of being caught, as long as she kept herself concealed and did not show her face, the all-seeing surveillance system would not detect her.

If she was not detected, then that depraved madman Si Yan would not be able to catch her!

Just endure it. As long as she held out, she could go back and find her grandfather.

He was the only family she had left in this world.

Unaware that she had already been carried far from the area where a trash bin belonged, Yun Jin remained curled up inside it...

Meanwhile, in the castle.

The servants knelt all over the floor, trembling with fear.

Si Yan idly toyed with the gun in his hand, the dark cruelty on his handsome face barely concealed.

Once that disobedient little thing was caught, how should he punish her?

Break her legs.

After all, she had been disobedient!

“Sir, Madam has been found.”

Si Yan nodded. The assistant beside him then pushed in the trash bin containing Su Yu.

The assistant, Huang Yu, tipped the bin over, and Su Yu tumbled out.

Si Yan crouched down in front of her, his angry eyes fixed on the filthy woman before him.

He frowned slightly, disgust plain in his gaze.

She had even hidden inside a trash bin just to avoid him.

Was she really that afraid of him?

Su Yu had fallen asleep inside the bin, and she woke only when she was thrown out.

The moment she opened her eyes, she saw the man she feared most.

The pain from two days ago between her legs seemed to throb again.

Her fear of him was very real.

She kept shrinking backward, almost as if she wanted to crawl back into the trash bin.

Seeing her movement, Si Yan’s irritation rose.

He reached out and pinched her chin, his voice cold as an ice cellar. “Baby, how many times is this now?”

“Didn’t you promise your husband in bed that there wouldn’t be a next time?”

“Looks like you remember how to eat, but not how to learn a lesson. Only by locking you up will you behave!”

Su Yu’s face hurt from his grip, tears gathering in her eyes at once. She cried out, “You’re not my husband! I want to go home!”

“Right here!” Si Yan snapped, fury blazing in his eyes.

“This is your home. That shabby place you keep thinking about—you’ll never go back there again!”

Her tears splashed onto his arm, and she suddenly opened her mouth and bit down on the man’s hand.

Si Yan breathed out in relief, then cursed under his breath.

Damn it.

She dared bite him.

Si Yan’s eyes darkened, and he carried the woman who was trying to crawl back into the trash bin away.

“Bastard, let go of me!”

“I told you, I want to go home. This is not my home.”

“My home is in Yuanxi, you bastard.”

“I hate you!”

Su Yu was crying and struggling, but in Si Yan’s eyes her resistance amounted to nothing at all.

When he was in a good mood, he would even think her tears and tantrums were her way of flirting with him.

A huge splash of water burst up from the bathtub.

Su Yu was soaked through, and she even swallowed a few mouthfuls of bathwater.

The man’s broad hand tore open the filthy clothes on her body.

“Ah!”

“Si Yan, you monster.”

“You tore my clothes again...”

Su Yu weakly struggled, already stripped clean and curled up in the bathtub.

“Cover what? There isn’t a part of you I haven’t seen, kissed, or touched!” Si Yan said, washing her carefully with bath foam in his hands.

After their nights in bed, it had always been him who bathed the unconscious Su Yu.

Hearing that, Su Yu glared at him with red-rimmed eyes.

Si Yan was nothing but a beast.

An unappeased wolf, no less a treacherous one!

“This time I let you run for two days. Are you still not satisfied?”

Si Yan looked at her with those cold, shadowed eyes. “Your husband is so good to you. I serve you well in bed.”

“Why do you keep running?”

The question sounded calm, but it made Su Yu anything but calm.

She knew it was the prelude to his madness, to his cruelty.

Whenever Si Yan looked at her with that expression and spoke in that tone,

she knew she was in for it.

Sure enough, a bath towel wrapped around her and swept her away.

He threw her onto the bed.

The man’s tall body pressed down over hers.

Su Yu was terrified and rushed to beg, “Si Yan, don’t do this.”

“I was wrong, I won’t run anymore...”

“Si Yan, let me go.”

Si Yan ignored her pleas. With one hand, he seized both her wrists and raised them above her head, while the gold chain at the bedside locked her hands in place.

“Beg later. Save your strength now.”

Si Yan took the condom from the bedside and bit it open.

“Mm, you lunatic, let me go!” Su Yu was already in tears, her body twisting helplessly.

“I’m begging you...”

Si Yan bent down and licked away the tears at the corner of her eyes, looking at her red, swollen gaze.

A flicker of reluctance passed through his eyes. Such beautiful eyes, and by tomorrow they would be swollen again.

Who told her not to behave? He treated her so well.

Yet she refused to appreciate it and even lied to deceive him.

Saying she had someone she liked, and that the pretty boy was her childhood sweetheart!

“Baby, begging me is useless. Maybe begging someone else would work.”

A wicked smile curved Si Yan’s lips. “For example, beg me to...”

...

Night had already given way to morning, and Su Yu had long since passed out.

Si Yan was satisfied as well. He unfastened the gold chain and carried Su Yu away to bathe her.

It was all his fault for being too strong.

He would have to abstain for a few days again.

After applying medicine for her, Si Yan contentedly held her and went to sleep.

Through the entire night, Su Yu slept uneasily.

She kept dreaming the same dream over and over.

In the dream, she had been foolish enough to bring a wild man home—a pervert, a madman.

She had even begged her grandfather to treat the gunshot wound on his body.

It was he who had ruined her once peaceful life.

She had never asked him for anything, only wanted a little money for medical expenses.

Her grandfather’s treatment was expensive, after all, and he had consumed many precious herbs.

Was it unreasonable to ask for some money?

But that wild man had lied.

He tricked her into coming to this city, imprisoned her,

and bullied her.

He would not even let her go home.

If she had known, Su Yu would never have followed him here.

Then she would not have been bullied by him.

No, no—

She should never have saved him in the first place!

The benefactor had not asked for him to repay her with his body, yet he insisted on it!

Su Yu hated him. She hated him very much.
