I was locked in the basement of the Lu family and couldn't see the sunlight every day.

Lu's father knew how to kill someone's spirit. The walls were covered with mirrors.

I saw my own ugly face as soon as I opened my eyes.

I smashed the mirror and used the shards to cut my wrist.

The bathroom was the only place without surveillance. I lay in the bathtub filled with water, feeling the blood slowly flowing out of my body.

When I was about to lose consciousness, I heard Lin Ya's voice. She slapped me:

"Shen Jingyu, you're useless!"

Lu's father arranged for Lin Ya to monitor me 24/7, shattering my thoughts of suicide.

Lu's father wanted to punish me, and Lin Ya couldn't wait to take action.

"Do you think by killing me now, Lu Siyan will listen to you?" I lay on the bed expressionless.

Lin Ya's raised hand fell down.

"Do you think I don't want you dead? Siyan is getting married. I wouldn't care even if you died a hundred times," Lu's father snorted coldly and pushed his wheelchair away.

There were ten surveillance cameras installed in the corners of the room. I couldn't sleep well.

A large screen looped the footage of Lu Siyan and Chen Yu being together.

I looked at Chen Yu's vibrant face on the screen and inevitably caught a glimpse of my own desolate and pale appearance in the mirror.

"Siyan's fiancee is really beautiful, much prettier than you," Lin Ya couldn't help but mock me. "They grew up together, and she's a medical expert. You can't compare."

"Shen Jingyu, what do you have this time to show off?"

"Don't you like Lu Siyan? Haven't you thought about marrying him?" I retorted.

"Siyan can be with anyone, as long as it's not you. You'll only hurt him," Lin Ya brutally pulled out the IV tube, leaving a long blood streak on the back of my hand.

"Shen Jingyu, sometimes I really want to dig out your heart and see if it's truly black."

Lu Siyan gradually became less cold and even cracked a few jokes occasionally.

I remembered that Lu Siyan's initial interest in me started with a cold joke.

It was the seventh day of my captivity when Lu Siyan was getting married, and the wedding was held on a yacht.

Lu's father had someone take me there as well.
