Come With Me
Chapter 1 An Ugly Plot

Not all marriages were about love.

Took me and Robbie Luo for example. The reason why we got married was something that we would never bring up in casual conversations because it was just too horrifying. Just thinking about it often made me cringe.

All because the story behind it was all too shameful and really ugly that it was never worth telling anyone...

Well, that story was an ugly plot directed and acted by none other than my mother herself.

During that time, she mercilessly drugged me. Not only that, she even delivered me to some strange man's bed that I had never even met before! And that man was no other than Robbie Luo.

There it was, me being drugged. The man and I unconsciously got entangled with each other in the bed. Meanwhile, my mother came over with a group of people who seemed to want to catch us "performing". Oh, did they take unsolicited photos of us! Suddenly, we felt the cold water from the basin being poured all over us. But that was not enough for her just yet. Afterwards, she pointed at the bloodstains in the sheets and then asked the groggy Robbie Luo, "Now how are you going to make up to us? Do you want us to report this case or will you compensate us to keep our mouth shut?"

I felt that my head was splitting in two. Weak from the drugs, I just vaguely saw that Robbie Luo's back in front of me.

He was naked on top at that time, and only had a sheet to cover the lower half of his body.

But Robbie Luo wasn't in a hurry to answer my mother's question in any way, nor was he frightened by my mother's threat. Instead, he calmly bent down to pick up his trousers from the floor. He slowly drew ou a cigarette from his trouser pocket, lit it, and took a long drag on it.

He then turned to my mother and said plainly, "5000. Take it or leave it."

At that time my mother was so bent on the money that she didn't even spare a second for me. After all, I was just her bargaining chip.

"Five thousand? I can't believe this! You are so rich! How dare you pay only five thousand for sleeping with my daughter?

She is still a virgin! Your offer is too low!"

However, Robbie Luo just stayed calm and said, "Then report this case to the police. I also wonder why I'm here. In fact, I don't even know why you are here."

My mother's face turned pale upon hearing his words.

During that time, she would never have thought that the well-known Robbie Luo would even dare to call the police and report the issue regardless of his image. At that moment, her jaw was agape as she was speechless. She could not do anything but turn to the men behind her for help.

Ever since I was a child, I had already known what kind of a person my mother was. And through these few dialogues, I was able to set my story free, and get to the truth of the matter.

During that time, I had no time to consider my own embarrassing situation, let alone losing my virginity. There I was, struggling as I tried to get up and resist the remaining traces of drugs in my body. Then, I turned to my mother and said, "Mom, that's enough! Let these people leave. Let's go home."

However, I didn't expect that my mother would come straight to me and slap me on the face brutally.

"Are you out of your mind? Do you know how much money a girl's virginity could be sold for? And now you let this man take yours for free?!"

Right then and there, I was able to do nothing but cover my red and aching cheek as I looked at my mother's raging face. I didn't want to cry at all. All I knew was that I felt so pathetic for having such a mother. But on the other hand, I also didn't want to help my mother cheat and even let her use me as her cash cow. I bit my lips and had nothing to say to such a despicable mother. All I knew was what I felt at that moment-shame and disgrace.

Meanwhile, I just sat on the bed and looked at Robbie Luo, who was quietly smoking in his chair.

I walked up to him, bowed my head, and then said, "Sir, I'm deeply sorry for what happened today. You can leave now."

But as soon as I finished my words, my mother came rushing between us like a lunatic and kept punching me in the face and body as if I were a punching bag. She kept cursing, "What a shameless woman! If had known that you were such a bitch, then I would have sold you two years ago! At least I didn't need to waste so much time on a pathetic whore!"

I didn't have the strength to resist her fists. I could only let her hit and abuse me over and over again. She said all the bad words she wanted to say and threw all her anger on me for her fruitless plot.

Robbie Luo, on the other hand, couldn't have been any more bothered as he watched such a disgusting drama.

So, he stood up and threw the money on the bed. He then put on his clothes and was already ready to leave.

As he left, my mother immediately looked at the money that he paid, which was way less than what she had estimated. However, she knew that she should keep her mouth shut and not dare mention anything about reporting the case to the police anymore.

But little did she know that the people who followed her had turned against her even before Robbie Luo left the premises.

"You still owe us one hundred thousand. You promised us that you would give us thirty thousand. Is this some kind of a joke? You don't have any money! How are you going to pay us? You old hag! If you don't pay me back this week, then I'll fucking kill you!"

Upon hearing threats being thrown at her, my mother's anger immediately vanished out of thin air.

At that point, her rage had turned into hopelessness. She begged the people to give her a couple of days more so that she could gather enough money to pay them.

However those men didn't agree. Then, my mother turned around, pointed at me, and said, "As you can see, my daughter is absolutely a good hooker. I can make you a proposal. I can give you a discount. How about 2000 a pop?"

Afraid that they would hesitate at the offer, my mother lowered the price even more. "No good? How about 1000?"

They smiled after hearing such an offer and my mother felt like a ton of weight had been lifted from her chest.

Seeing that my mother had, yet again, dealt me like a trading card, broke my heart.

I didn't cry nor shout, because I knew that my mother would never look out for me for money.

Even if it was just a dime.

I thought that it would be a night of horror for me. But Robbie Luo, who had opened the door and was ready to leave, stopped on his tracks.

He turned his head and looked at me. Then he spat out his last smoke ring, and threw the cigarette butt on the ground. He crushed it with his shoe and then spoke calmly, "I'll give you one hundred and thirty thousand. On one condition-let me marry her."

Upon hearing that her debt would be paid, my mother's eyes widened. The joy of regaining the money she lost almost made her jump with joy.

Robbie Luo, who leaned on the bed then, looked at me. After a while, he talked to me and said, "You have the option to disagree, if you want to."

At that time, my eyes were not focused at him, but those men who was unbuckling their belts around me. What Robbie Luo had said was like my life-saving straw. I could actually have a life. At that point, I knew that was my last choice.

"I agree! !" I said it without any hesitation in my voice for I was so sure that this would be my ticket to escape.

All I knew was that my life would be a thousand times better anywhere in the world than to stay with my mother. I knew that I had to get out of there.

And marrying someone was the best way for me to escape from my mother's wretched clutches.

But that moment, I hadn't known the gap between heaven and hell was such an unbridgeable gap.

I would never work it out no matter what I tried.

It was not that if I worked harder, things in my life would get better eventually.

Neither did I know that some hells were decorated with gold, trying to look as if heaven.

And this place was no other than the Luo family.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
