The Devil who devoured Snow White

304 It's her fault

Opening her eyes, Lu Mengjie found herself inside a strange room. In fact, it was a bedroom. Where the hell was she? She got up from the bed and walked towards the balcony. The moment she did, she saw armed men, walking around the place as if they were guarding something.

Huh? Were they her friends or foes? Who were they under?

She went back in and headed towards the door. She turned the knob only to find it locked from the outside.

What the?

She continued to turn it but to her dismay, or remained locked.

What should she do? If she was locked inside the bedroom then surely, those men she saw would not help her. She tried to recall the last thing she remembered and when she did, her heart began to quicken when she remembered that Cian was XX.! The last thing she remembered was Cian, covering her nose with a handkerchief that was sprayed with chloroform.

She began to become frenzied and frantic. She was traumatized by XX and just thinking that the same thing was going to happen to her only made fear spread out throughout her body.

As she scanned the room, it was then she realized that the photos inside were actually photos of her. Aside from that, she noticed a CCTV inside the room, reminding her of the horror she experienced. Her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Rule number one when put in a dangerous situation: be calm but… how could she become calm when her body remembered how scared it was because of Cian!

She fell to her knees and tears fell from her eyes. She held the necklace she was wearing, the snowflake pendant, as she just had a mental breakdown.

"Help… please… someone, save me…" Lu Mengjie would usually be composed. She had been kidnapped a few times and in each time, having a calm mind helped her in thinking of a way to escape.

This time, it was different. She was forced to recollect what happened to her in the past. XX was the only person she feared the most. Click. Clack.

Hearing the door being unlocked from the outside, Lu Mengjie only raised her head when the person entered.

Her glossy eyes widened in surprise when she saw Cecilia, holding a tray of food. Behind her, another guard followed inside.

Cecilia? What was she doing here?

"Oh, you're finally awake. Eat up." She placed the tray on the coffee table. "If you need something, just shout."

She was about to leave the room but Lu Mengjie hurriedly reached out to her, grabbing her by her leg. "Wait!"

With cold eyes, Cecilia looked down at her. "You need something?"

As adrenaline rushed into her body, Lu Mengjie stood up and pushed Cecilia down.

It was her chance to escape!

"Hey you!" The man tried to stop her but Lu Mengjie had a few skills of her own to defend herself. She had studied martial arts, she may not be an expert but knowing some moves could help her defeat a grown man.

Grabbing the man's wrist, using the force he initiated towards her, she turned and threw him upside down. She took the chance to run out of the room once after.

"Wait! Mengjie!"

She heard Cecilia's voice behind her.

Lu Mengjie couldn't think straight at that moment. There was only one thing in her mind: to escape!

As she headed down the stairs, knowing that there were plenty of men waiting outside, she headed to the kitchen instead. She needed the knives to protect herself but just as she was about to enter, she bumped into someone.

"Oh my, you're awake."

In front of her, Cian stood with an amused smirk.

Seeing him caused her body to quiver so terribly. By instinct, she raised her arm and threw her fist at him but surprisingly, the man was quick enough to grab it.

"Now, now, Mengmeng. As much as I like seeing you become so feisty, you can't just hit someone you bumped into. Shouldn't you apologize instead?" He said with a smile.

As Lu Mengjie tried to pull her fist back, Cian only tightened his hold, refusing to let go. "BASTARD! LET GO OF MY HAND!!" She fumed in fury and at the same time, in fear and panic.

Instead of doing that, he pulled her towards him. He caught her waist with his other hand and pulled her body against his. "I'm rather hurt to see that you don't miss me at all."

Lu Mengjie's body became stiff from what he did. She could fight him right there and then but her body didn't listen. It froze the moment he held her in his arms. Her body was instantly enveloped by fright. Her heartbeat increased its pace and her breathing became ragged. She was covered in cold sweat as she looked at him in horror.

"Now be a good girl like you've always been back then." Releasing her fist, he cupped her chin with his free hand instead, pulling her face closer as he leaned forward. "I've waited for you for so long."

Using the chance, she pushed him with her other hand, putting distance between them. "You sick psycho, you're not getting—"

Slap!

Lu Mengjie felt her left cheek sting. She could taste blood inside her mouth because of the cut on the side of her lower lip.

"I really do prefer it if you're a good girl but I guess I don't have a choice but to help you to turn into one."

"Brother." Cecilia's voice was heard. "You shouldn't hit a woman."

"It's her fault, Cecil. I didn't want to hit her but she gave me no choice."

Cecilia took a step in between them. "Then why don't you leave the lessons to me?"

Lu Mengjie clenched her fists tightly. Her head was hanging low. Thanks to that slap she received from Cian, her mind went back to its original track. She was able to get herself out of her panic state.

"Fine. I'll leave that to you."

"Thank you." Cecilia turned to the woman behind her. She grabbed her shoulder as she said, "come. Let's go back to your room."

Lu Mengjie was reluctant to obey. She never thought that Cecilia was in cahoot with her brother. How could Yong Liwei trust her?
