Yes, she endured the days when he would vent his anger and frustration from work on her, slapping her repeatedly, on one occasion when he was really drunk, he forced her to have s.e.x with him. Yet, she forgave him, in her heart she felt that he would change, that she could mould him to become a better person. Who would have thought that it would never be?

Was enduring all of that, all for nothing? Did he think it was over because he said so?

What was the point in living? or having a beating heart in the chest? or breathing air in?

She gave him everything, there was nothing he asked for that she wouldn't do, even if it cost her dearly she would still go ahead and do it because he was the one person she considered as the love of her life. Sadly, it seems he didn't feel even an iota of love in return towards her. Despite all the things she heard about him seeing someone else, she refused to believe it, until she the day she decided to surprise him by showing up on his birthday. Just thinking about it, caused her pale face to flush a deep red in embarra.s.sment. Why did I have to show up uninvited? If I had called ahead, none of this would have occurred. She wanted to cry but tears refused to fall from her eyes.

The young woman felt dead on the inside, almost like a living corpse, staring sightlessly ahead. What made it even more painful was that someone had tipped the press about what was going on and on seeing the news it was mostly bas.h.i.+ng her and the dynasty she had built with her sweat and blood.

The others present in the room were unaware of the turbulent thought going through the mind of their young miss, all they could she was a pale faced fragile young woman with bloodshot eyes, her hair was a mess, even the cloth she had on looked so rumbled as though it had never seen the face of an iron. Her gaunt appearance, made her look like a waif rather than someone that was of importance.

I made you Feng Duan, you will not leave me, you hear?! You most definitely would not leave me! I will find you and....

That was the last thought that crossed her mind, her vision kept going in and out, until she finally blacked out. Faintly she could hear voices screaming for an ambulance to be called. That was the last thing she heard before entering a world of pitch black darkness.
