Twisted Marriage: Secret Loves (Gale and Shawn)
Twisted Marriage: Secret Loves Chapter 1

Chapter 1

In the dirty and messy backyard of Sea City mental hospital, GaleWarm stared at the meat and bones in front of the stray dog. She hadnot eaten for three days and would starve to death if that continued. Inorder to survive, she had to grab food from the dog's mouth! Ever sinceShawn Wood threw her here two years ago, the only thing on her mindevery single day was to survive. The Wood family is the wealthiestfamily in Sea City, and Shawn was the heir to the Wood family, whichmade him the most powerful man in Sea City. Gale still rememberedhow Shawn Wood strangled her neck desperately, staring fiercely ather, saying, “I want you to suffer for the rest of your life. You won't beable to beg for death. You will pay it all back what the Warm familyowes me!” The more miserable she was, the more satisfied ShawnWood was. Two years ago, Shawn's father had a car accident and wasseriously injured. He was sent to the hospital for emergency treatmentdue to his critical condition. The emergency doctor on duty was Gale'sfather, Peter Warm. Unintentionally and mistakenly, Peter used thewrong medicine, leading to Shawn's father’s death due to excessiveblood loss. The police intervened and found that Gale's father wasmainly responsible for the wrong treatment and was sentenced to life inprison. After hearing the news, Gale's mother suffered a cerebralinfarction and went into a vegetative state. That was the day thatmarked the end of Gale's former life. She refused to believe her fatherwould do such a thing, but no one listened to her. Shawn ordered thatshe be thrown into a mental hospital like a bag of garbage, and he alsoordered that no one should take care of her, be it life or death. Sincethen, she has been treated far worse than a dog. However, she vowedto live on. Her parents were still waiting for her. Only by surviving canthere be hope for the future! Suddenly, the sound of an unlocking lockinterrupted her thoughts. “Gale, someone has come to pick you up!"said the dean. Gale was stunned and asked, "Who?" After her fatherwas imprisoned, her relatives and friends avoided her. How could therebe anyone to pick her up? “You'll see.” She never thought that shecould leave. Without Shawn's consent, who would dare to save her?Gale walked out of the mental hospital with anxiety and anticipationwhen a van stopped in front of her. Before she could see who it was,two or three big men jumped out of the vehicle and covered her headwith a black sack! “Help me...” Before she could finish her sentence,they hit her head hard, and she lost consciousness. When Gale wokeup again, she found himself tied to the big bed in the hotel, unable tomove. “What's going on? Where was this?’ Gale had a bad feeling inher heart as she recalled what had happened before she was knockedout. A bald and fat old man rubbed his hands excitedly before her.“She's really pure. I like it!” It was only then that Gale understood thatthe dean had tricked her! No one came to pick her up, they gave her tothis old man! “Don’t come any closer..." She gritted her teeth andyelled, “Go away!” “Serve me well, and I will not treat you badly...” Theold man rushed over with a grinning smile while Gale retreated, thinkingof a way to escape. She hurriedly shouted, “Wait!” “What's wrong?”Gale pretended to smile tenderly and said, “Don’t rush. Take your time.Untie me so we can have some fun together...” “Okay, as long as youpromise not to run away.” As soon as the rope was untied, Gale kickedthe old man fatally, and he howled in pain! She took the opportunity torun away! “Catch her!” She could only hear the sound of chasingfootsteps from behind. If she were captured, she would be finished!Panicked, Gale saw an open door and broke in without a secondthought, locking it behind her. She was gasping for breath whensuddenly, a pair of hands appeared around her waist! It was dark whena deep hoarse man’s voice rang out, “...A woman?” Gale felt his hotbody and asked in a panic, “Who are you? What do you want!” “To useyou to get rid of the medicine on me.” As soon as he finished, he pickedher up and threw her on the bed. She could not see the man’s faceclearly, but she could smell the faint familiar fragrance on his body...This tone, this smell, actually reminded her of Shawn Wood! No, it isimpossible for Shawn to be here! “Stop! Let me go!” Gale keptstruggling as she cried out, “Don’t...I'm not that kind of woman...” Theman leaned in and whispered in her ear, promising, “I will marry you.”“Umm...” He pressed his lips on hers. It was only almost dawn whenthe man finally fell asleep. Gale's body was sore all over. She thoughtshe could escape the disaster, but she was violated nevertheless. Herlife was miserable enough. When will her luck change? Although thisman was thousands of times better than the old man and promised tomarry her... Unfortunately, if she agrees to marry, she will drag him intoShawn's line of fire with her. She can not do that. Thinking of this, Galepicked up her clothes and quietly left the hotel. She was a little dazedas she stood on the street. In fact, she could take the opportunity toescape, but she knew that Sea City was Shawn's territory, and everypass was strictly guarded. Even if she escaped, where could she go?Moreover, mom and dad are here. There is no way she would leavethem. In the end, Gale returned to the mental hospital. She had tofigure out what the dean's conspiracy was so that she could protectherself in the future. As soon as she arrived at the door of the dean'soffice, she heard quarrels coming from inside. “That old man took afancy to my daughter. How could I be willing to let him marry her? Ihave to hand over Gale!” “But Shawn was the one who sent her here.How dare you do that!" “Mr. Wood still remembers her. We have torescue her now!” All of this was indeed the dean's plan! Gale clenchedher fists angrily and was about to enter when the dean came out with asad face. He looked up and saw her. Before he could celebrate, he sawthe conspicuous hickey on her neck. The dean scolded, “B*ich, whoexactly did you sleep with last night? I almost got killed because ofyou!” Gale had no idea who that man was, so she brushed it off as anightmare. She coldly questioned the dean, “Why did you give meaway?” “What do you mean by giving you away? I think you are gettingcrazier and crazier! Quick, put her in the ward!” Gale gave the dean acold look. “I'll go by myself.” ... Meanwhile, at the hotel, Shawn openedhis eyes and sat up as he pinched between his eyebrows with hisfingers. He looked at the big messy bed as the memories from the nightbefore flashed in his mind. The girl's delicate and smooth skin, her thinvoice, and her first... However, his bedside was empty. Did she runaway when he fell asleep? It was completely different from the money-worshiping women who often chased him. He was tricked last night,and the woman just broke in and helped him with his problem. Shawnmade a phone call. “Go and replace out who was the woman who brokeinto my room last night.” “Okay, Mr. Wood.” Since he promised to marryher, he will keep his promise. Even if she ran to the ends of the earth,he would replace her! Shawn rolled over and got out of bed, looking at theempty glass at the head of the bed. The stepmother had not given up.She kept sending women to him when she got the chance, and sheeven used such drugs this time. It seemed that the only thing that couldstop his stepmother was to get himself a woman. “Mr. Wood, today isAlex Wood's death anniversary,” the assistant reminded him when hegot into the car. “Well, let's do as before.” Once a year, Shawn went tothe cemetery to pay his respect to his father and then went to see Gale,the woman he hated most. ... In the mental hospital, a luxurious andexpensive car was parked at the entrance. A man with long legs strodein slowly. The dean almost wet his pants with fright upon seeingShawn. "Mr... Wood...” "Where is Gale Warm?" Shawn saidindifferently. “I...1...I'll call her right now!” The dean ran to the ward in ahurry and threatened Gale, “It's best to keep your mouth shut. If heknows you are not pure, we will die!” Gale was about to answer whenshe saw a tall figure appear. Shawn Wood. He is still as handsome andarrogant as she remembered, with a noble temperament and a senseof pride. Gale immediately tensed up in fright. “Mr. Wood.” “Are youafraid of me?” He smiled mockingly. Yes, she was afraid. She was evenafraid to breathe and dared not look at him. She lowered her headsilently. Her stray hair fell on her cheek, tickling it, and she held backand did not remove it. “Gale Warm, it's been two years, and you don'tseem to have changed. It's boring.” It was clear that he had a deep andcalm tone, but it came off as bone-chilling to her. She was not asembarrassed and haggard as he imagined, which caused hisdissatisfaction. He had no idea she had made great efforts to livebarely as a human in the mental hospital. In the first few months shecame in, she looked like a pathetic beast. “So, this game is over.”Shawn narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully, “You are free.” Free?That was shocking. Gale clearly knew that he was thinking of a newway to torture her. She could not help trembling. She stepped back,and Shawn came closer. “I will put you right where I can see you andhumiliate you at any time to relieve the hatred in my heart.” He saidcoldly, “From now on, Gale, you will be a dog by my side.” Shawnturned around, and his back was tall and straight. “Keep up!” She waspuzzled. “Where to?" “Civil Affairs Bureau!”
