The Mystery of Revenge by G. X. Chen Page A

was a dream came true; for her, it was a timelyrelief.
    However, the marriage wasn’t problem-free. Less than a year into happy and peaceful family life, Yi-yun started to complain about being bored after spent half of his savings on clothing and other stuff. Even though he went through hell when she was in one of her sour moods, he never regretted marrying her. She was the love of his life. The real relief came when Yi-yun met June, who was able to provide her with the entertainment and companionship that Fang Chen couldn’t afford in his final year atschool.
    After befriending with June, Yi-yun was happy, at least for the first few months. Then she met Tom. Fang Chen had to admit the guy was talented, but he was never blind to the fact that Tom was a penniless and hopeless loser. After all, why would Yi-yun, who loved money and comfortable life, fall in love with a man who had nomoney?
    Never being a jealous guy, Fang Chen smelled a rat when he first saw them together at the Ritz. Yi-yun was so fascinated by his music that she didn’t even know what the planet she was on. Looking at those captivating eyes of hers, Fang Chen wished he didn’t quit his piano when he was a teenager. The admiration she had for the pianist reminded him the time they first met. She used to be so enthralled by his goals and dreams. The poor soul, she’s just too naive to see the real value. Who cared about classic music anymore? Even the big-name orchestras were losing money everyyear.
    At the dinner table that night, Fang Chen had tried to draw her attention by talking about his recent work, the multiple projects he had been handling in vain. While looking at her husband out of politeness, her mind was a thousand milesaway.

    How upset he was when he finally realized that her heart had been a thousand miles away as well. She was no longer in love with him, and she totally forgot what he had done for her. She forgot the day when she was sobbing in his arms because she was broke; she forgot the fact that he had prevented her from being disgracefully deported. Since they were together, he had always put her needs above his own, and he had been working very hard to provide her a comfortable home. Yet for a mere penniless musician, she was ready to throw them all away. His heart wrenched with pain when he looked at her; even in her sleep, she was stunningly beautiful. Poor Yi-yun; she was solost!
    Driven by a sudden tender impulse, Fang Chen turned to his wife and kissed her. Her eyelids trembled when he touched her lips. “Dear,” she said, half-opening her eyes. “What time is it now?” she asked, yawninglazily.
    “Three o’clock,” he said, throwing his arms aroundher.
    “No, please don’t.” She frowned and moved away while grabbing the blanket to cover her. “I need some sleep,” she said it in such a disgusted tone that sounded like a knife thrust right into his heart. The bitch! Fang Chen was furious. Who did she think she was? She was his wife, the legally married wife. How dare her to refuse him while flirting with another man! Swearing loudly, Fang Chen pulled the blanket away from her and flipped her body over with bothhands.
    “Don’t ever talk to me like that, Yi-yun!” he shouted while tearing her nightgown off violently. “As long as you’re my wife, I can fuck you whenever I wantto.”
    Yi-yun was horrified. “No,” she screamed. She was totally thrown off-balance as he had never been so violent before. Struggling madly, she tried in vain to push him away with her hands and legs as the fury and anger had turned Fang Chen into a beast that had no brain but incredulousstrength.
    Gentle in nature, Fang Chen had always been polite and caring even when he was dying from his craving for his wife and lovemaking. Never before had he forced Yi-yun into anything. He was so doted on her that he was willing to sacrifice as long as she was happy. What was the return he got from his kindness, he wondered, nothing but betrayal!
