\'Slap!\'
"Eight." A man in black coat stated calmly.
\'Slap!\'
"Nine." The man continued to count while slapping the girl who was tied on the chair.
\'Slap!\'
One big slap resounded in the room. The girl who was slapped spit out blood. It was the blood on her inside cheek who was forcefully slammed in one of her teeth.
"Ten." The man in the black step aside to reveal the man who was seating leisurely in the coach.
"Have you learn your lesson, my dear fiance? "
The girl, which was me, dazedly look up to him.
In my eyes, he was covered with shadows and demons.
He was a beast.
But I think it was good to feel physical pain. When I was slapped earlier, it was painful that my head become dizzy. That my face became numb. All my thoughts was in that hand to make it stop. Not the scene I saw earlier that breaks my heart.
But then, I saw it again. Linfeng\'s gentle smile to Wuyue. My heart was like tearing apart again. Hot tears filled my eyes.
"Slap me again. Slap me.....again....Slap me again! You feel I belong to you right?! You said I am your pet! You kidnapped me and do this thing to me! You are a beast! You are all a beast! You are all promises! " Pain and raged fulfilled my mind. That I fearlessly blurted all those things out.
"Hmmm? Still not learned your lesson? Well, those ten slaps are just a warning." Then Gao Huan looked at the man who slapped me.
"No one will give her food in three days. You are in charge of her. When she escaped again like this time, I\'ll kill you. Receive your warning later."
The man paled from what he heard. "Y-yes...young master..."
And then it was dark again.

Remembering that scene Xiong Zhi took a stepped back.
Guan Gao Huan continued to take one more step forward. His left hand was raising in a very slow motion. He still wear that creepy smile that made Xiong Zhi sweated. Time was still frozen to Xiong Zhi. Another memory passed.....

*******
Eight months had passed. I was currently playing with the guzhen. Aside from watching news, reading newspaper, reading business magazines, reading novels, playing with Guzhen were the time my mind could be calm.
For eight months, I only met the beast twice. Once with Wuyue, and second when he caught me when I escaped. What strange was he did not visit me anymore. I knew he was busy since the news was all about him and the SC company who always competed with him in every project. He become more busier since his business collaborated with the Xiong Empire. I also hear the news that his grandfather\'s health deteriorated.
Well, it was a good thing that he was busy. He had no time to pester me to marry him early than scheduled.
But the strange thing was,
we keep moving.
I mean, me and the men who were guarding me, never stayed in a place for three months. It was the fifth place already that we stayed at. It was an island. Whenever we moved, they would just drugged my food and the next thing I woke up I\'m in different house, or so I say, mansion. A different isolated mansion. So now, my planned to escape dragged to zero. How could I escape when they placed me in an island? Where should I hide then? In the wild forest? In the sea? Should I swim until I found the next island?
So all my hope to escape was gone.
If Linfeng was just looking for me...
Again, the last scene when I saw him came to my mind. It still broke my heart. I don\'t want to remember it. But memories of the passed when he was still by my side hunts me. When he gave me gentle smiles, gentle pat, and gentle warnings.
Were they all....just a facade? A part of his job?
Again a lone tear run down my face.
All my best memory were all with him in the picture.
I stared in daze when I heard the sound of helicopter. Which made me uneasy. Did he came back?
After moments, a tall figure stormed in my room. He shouted loudly,
"All of you get out!"
All the body guards left quickly. Leaving me and him alone.
His expression was dark. He walked towards me in heavy step. Each step was a beat of my heart.
Why was he angry? I did not escape this time.
I am scared. What he was going to do to me?
When he was one step away from me, he raised his hand and fiercely slapped me.
SLAP!
My vision got blurry as hot tears filled my eyes. I tasted blood. A stinging pain was left in my left cheek.
Yet...he was still not yet done.
He raised his left hand and slapped my right cheek.
SLAP!!
The sound was louder than before. I heard a crack. It was my neck.
It was f.u.c.k.i.n.g painful. I could not hold on the blood as I spit it out. And I spit it on him. At least I made it known that I really hate him.
His face got darker if that was possible.
Then he grabbed my hair harshly. Without any words he lead me outside the room. Or should I say he dragged me outside the room. He walked through the long hallway, through the big living room, we passed the kitchen, he opened a back door, and he dragged me to a bas.e.m.e.nt that I don\'t know exist.
In the stairs, he didn\'t care If I missed the step or care about my burning cheeks and injured feet.
He find a long rusty heavy chain and chained my wrist. I fought back and slammed my fist to his face. He was startled at first then he gave me a black eye. I groaned out in pain. My head spun. I saw red. It was hard for me to keep my balance as I was still dizzy and I felt my skull was going to crack.
Then I felt my arms being raised by the chains. Before my feet be suspend in the air, the pulling was stopped. I was standing or hanged with my feet on the ground.
I looked at him in furry. I could only see clearly with my right eye.
Then he raised his hand again. And slapped me.
\'Slap!\'
\'Slap!\'
He slapped me twice. Like he was venting his anger on me. Like I was a punching bag. It so f.u.c.k.i.n.g hurts. My eyes teared up by the pain. I wanted to cry.
\'Slap!\'
I wanted to beg.
\'Slap!\'
I wanted to tell him to stop. That whatever I\'ve done wrong I will not do it again. That I\'ll obey him, or even agree to him. To marry him early than scheduled.
But
But aside from the endless pain he was inflicting on my body...there was a fury inside of me.
The inside of me was raging....was mad.....was mad at this beast!
\'Slap!\'
"You\'re a psycho...." I said through gritted teeth.
I will not concede nor beg you.
\'Slap!\'
This slap was added by more force. Looks like his face was getting darker like the butt of third Uncle De.
"You\'re a beast.."
Now his face was like the soul of Wuyue, ugly and black.
\'Slap!\'
I don\'t know if it was harder than the last slap. My face had long gone numb.
"You\'re a bastard--"
\'Crack!\'
That\'s my nose. Now I got two black eyes and a bruised nose. Blood was dripping from my face.
Like I was poured by cold water, the senses returned to me again to welcome the hellish pain.
"Aghh...you...are....a demon....bastard...." My conciousness was staring to fade.
But before I was relieved from the pain I heard him say to the man who was rushing to the room,
"Take a picture of her and send it to HIM."
