Chapter 1: the Wedding Night

Sitting on the big bed, Lainey Warren shivered like a frightened bird with a pitiful look. She looked timidly and cautiously at the fierce man in front of her, feeling like her heart was grabbed by a hand. “What… What… What do you need me to do?” Her voice trembled. “Do you know what you’re about to face?” The man asked in a cold voice. The left side of the man’s face looked perfect. However, on the right side, there was a long scar from the corner of his eye to the cheek. Moreover, the skin on his right face was uneven and shocking, as if it had been burned by a fire. At this moment, the man was staring at Lainey expressionlessly. He frowned tightly, as if he was going to vent his dissatisfaction at any time. The cold aura that was revealed from the inside made people feel more and more terrified of him. He kind of looked like a bad guy or a villain from those TV shows. “I, I know.” The man’s gaze was too intimidating, making Lainey subconsciously move a few times back to get away from him. Yet she no longer dared to move as she thought of his identity. His name was Winfred Sloan, and he was Lainey’s newly married husband. Today was their wedding night. “Huh!” Looking at Lainey, who was obviously so scared of him that she was almost about to wet her pants but still had a stiff upper lip, Winfred laughed and bent down to pinch her chin and raise her head. “Are you afraid of me?” Lainey shook her head shook quickly, “No, I’m not. You’re my husband. I’m not afraid of you.” Although Lainey said so, she was almost scared to death in her heart. Yet she didn’t dare to show it as she knew she couldn’t irritate Winfred. Winfred’s hand followed Lainey’s chin all the way down to her neck and then grabbed it with stronger force. He asked, “Then aren’t you afraid of death?” “No… I’m not!” The big hand on Lainey’s neck exerted more and more strength. She clearly felt that the air in her lungs was being rapidly drawn out, the strong sense of suffocation made her face turn red and then green. Lainey desperately wanted to breathe, but still did not dare to move. She’d be worse off if she offended Winfred. Lainey looked as if she were on her way to execution, which amused Winfred. He smiled, but his face look even more horrible and violent as that long scar twisted along with his face muscles. After teasing Lainey enough, Winfred let go of her neck. Lainey gulped in the fresh air. For the first time, she felt that it was so good to be alive. “Take off your clothes.” Winfred coldly gave the order. Lainey was stunned, and her face turned red immediately. She had never undressed in front of a man. But it was only normal for Winfred, her husband, to make such a request to her. Was he going to sleep with her now? “Are you unwilling?” Seeing Lainey dawdling, Winfred frowned unhappily and turned around, “If you’re unwilling, get out!” “I am!” Lainey hastily reached out and pulled Winfred’s arm, saying with tears in her eyes, “Mr. Sloan, I’m willing!” Her dad had told her that if she couldn’t please Winfred, the Warren family would go bankrupt. Then they wouldn’t have the money for her mother’s treatment, which would then cause her mother’s death. Therefore, Lainey didn’t dare to and couldn’t offend Winfred. Lowering her head, Lainey began slowly unbuttoning the white puff-sleeved shirt she was wearing. “Should… Should I continue?” After taking off the shirt, Lainey only had a pair of underwear on her body. Under Winfred’s sharp gaze, she blushed. Lainey held herself with arms, her head about to lower to the floor.
