Rebecca screamed, her voice trembling, "I'm not dead! I'm alive!"
Her voice was full of uncontrollable fear and despair. Her voice was hoarse as if someone was strangling her and tears blurred her eyes. "I can tell you whatever you want to know. Please don't... don't do this to me!"
Liam pressed on her body and said in a very rough voice, "Do you admit it now?"
Rebecca nodded fiercely. "Yes! I admit it."
"Are you Rebecca Lambert?"
"I am!"
Liam reached out and picked up the wet hair that was stuck on her cheek. "Why are you so scared? I'm just teasing you. Since you're alive, why don't we talk about the old days?"
Rebecca gritted her teeth and squeezed out two words from her throat, "Let go..."
"Be good." Liam chuckled. His laughter was rough and full of lust. "Don't you think you should be punished for lying to me just now?"
Rebecca closed her eyes and begged him with tears, "Don't..."
"Don't what? You always wanted it when you were with me back then." He stroked her back lightly with his finger. "In the past few years since you died, I missed the days we were together. Do you want to relive it again, huh?"
His remarks brought goosebumps all over her body. Rebecca screamed loudly, "B*stard! Let go of me! Let go!"
Liam pressed her body tightly. The more scared she was, the more excited he seemed to be. "Your voice is still as pleasant as ever. I kinda miss it as I haven't heard it for so many years."
He slowly moved his fingers up to her neck and wrapped around her like a snake. "Do you miss me?"
Rebecca was completely devastated. "No, I don't! Get lost!"
The man froze as if he was startled by her scream. Rebecca was overjoyed and was about to struggle out of his restraint, but he suddenly yanked at her hair and abruptly pulled her back. She screamed out in agony as she felt a sharp pain in her scalp.
"What did you say?" His voice was low and mellow but full of anger. "You want me to get lost?"
Rebecca knew that he was pissed, and her lips began to tremble in horror.
Liam sneered and carried her up. Realizing what he wanted to do, Rebecca screamed at the top of her lungs, but it was useless to resist. His action became fiercer...
When Sharon returned home, she looked very absent- minded that she didn't hear Hazel calling her a few times.
"Madam?" Hazel was shocked by Sharon's appearance. Her face was so pale as if something unfortunate happened to her that her soul had left her body. "What's wrong with you?"
Hazel shook her body.
Sharon suddenly came to her senses and said, "H-Hazel."
"Yes, it's me," Hazel immediately said.
Sharon opened her mouth and wanted to ask something, but finally said, "Hazel, is there something to eat? I'm hungry."
Hazel managed a smile. "Yes, there is. Take some rest while I go and cook you some food. It'll be ready right away."
Sharon came to the sofa and sat down. Her mind was in a mess as if there were several hemp threads entangled together. She could not figure out a lot of things.
She held her knees and sat on the sofa, lost in thought. After a long time, Hazel's voice came from the kitchen, "I'm done. It's time to have dinner."
Sharon took a deep breath, got up, and sat down in the dining room.
Hazel served one dish after another on the table.
Sharon picked up the utensil and suddenly said, "Hazel, I have a question for you."
"Oh, please ask away."
