C3 I Forgot about That Night of Pleasure

As soon as he closed his eyes, a woman's face suddenly flashed before him, like a scene from a movie. He was like a beast, pouncing on her, her fair skin exposed through the torn dress. Was it her? He frowned, trying to recall her face, but it slipped away from his memory again. He was never afraid of anything. In fact, with the power of the Yan family, there was nothing to fear. However, since someone had orchestrated this, if a reporter captured it and spread some unsavory rumors, it could cause some trouble. He was someone who avoided trouble, and if any was on the horizon, he preferred to nip it in the bud.

...

Yuhan returned to Moon Bay. Moon Bay Estates was the city's most renowned luxury villa community. This wasn't her home, and she couldn't go back home, not with the marks of last night's chaos all over her. Anyone could see what she'd been through if she didn't cover it up. This was her marital home, hers and Ann Beiqi's. They had always been deeply in love, and she had let him do everything except cross the final line. She loved him, she was sure of it. But she never imagined Ann Beiqi could be that kind of person...

Thinking about last night, the feeling of injustice surged within her again, but she forced it down. She didn't want to be here, she even wanted to smash this place to pieces. A marital home... what marriage was left to speak of?! She held back her tears, but there was nowhere else she could go.

"Ma'am, this is a high-end villa area. If you're looking for someone, please have them contact us first," the security guard at the gate politely stopped her.

A surge of anger and sadness rose within Yuhan. Contact Ann Beiqi? Did she really have to reach out to him? The thought of his disgusting words from last night made her sick. "Z4008, code 35481, I am Ann Beiqi's fiancée." She emphasized the word "fiancée" heavily, as if she wanted to swallow it whole.

The security guard gave her a slightly suspicious look, but after she entered the correct password, he let her through.

Inside the elevator, as the doors closed, she found herself alone in the confined space. Suddenly, she couldn't hold back her tears any longer, and they began to fall in large drops.

Leaning against the wall, she covered her mouth with both hands, sobbing and choking, yet unable to make a sound.

Stumbling back home, the first thing she did was head to the bathroom. She turned on the shower, letting the warm water cascade over her.

Yuhan felt utterly filthy, her body marked by the chaos of the previous night. Even her first time had been taken by a stranger.

Water streamed down her cheeks as she scrubbed her skin until it was red, as if trying to wash away not just the surface but the very bones beneath.

Finally, she couldn't hold it in any longer and broke into loud, uncontrollable sobs. Her tears mingled with the water, her cries drowned out by the noise of the shower.

She had once loved Ann Beiqi so deeply! Even now, she couldn't believe he would betray her. She loved him so much that she didn't even have the courage to confront him.

She was used to maintaining a calm and wise demeanor in front of others, and everyone thought of her as a strong woman.

But... there was no such thing as a strong woman, just someone barely holding it together!

Just like now, even though she was crying her heart out, in this small bathroom, no one would see her weakness and helplessness.
