Giving Love Another Try

I never backed down, even when I was at my lowest and faced oppression.

He tried to mold me into his first love and asked me to learn piano.

But I refused.

Without showing his anger on the face, he punished me by putting me in the cold storage room.

He was unaware that I was actually skilled at playing the piano.

"Are you going to let her get away with hitting you?" Someone said indignantly.

Beau sneered, "Why would I stoop to her level?"

He then grabbed Arya standing beside him, slapped her on the face, and poured her wine, saying, "She is disobedient, but there are many obedient women."

To Beau, I was just a plaything, and to his friends, I was a doll to be manipulated.

One night, Beau got drunk with his friends and asked me to pick him up.

His friend teased me, "Beau says you're a country girl. Can you imitate a rooster for us?"

"Bruce, please don't insult the roosters."

I looked at them coldly, "No."

Bruce continued, "Beau, your woman is disobedient. Amber is also from a poor village. She did whatever I told her to do just for a bag. She's so obedient."

Beau leaned on the sofa, flicked the ashes from his fingertips, and looked sober, saying, "If you imitate a rooster, I can send you to a prestigious acting academy and help you enter the acting world."

I wanted to study acting, enter the acting world, and make money on my own.

Beau said in a contemptuous tone, "You still want to be a star? Are you worthy?"

The room erupted in laughter and lewd comments, and someone even tried to touch me.

"Aren't you making enough money around Beau? Do you want to be slept by more people?"

"Let me see if you are qualified..."

Unable to bear it, I picked up the bottle and decisively smashed it at the most outrageous person.

Soon, a dull pain began to pierce my chest.

Beau kicked me to the ground and grabbed my neck, "You think you're so noble? I'll crush your pride. Don't forget, I'm the one who brought you out of that mountain. If it weren't for me, your parents would have sold you to some stinky man."

His first love was a talented young pianist, as bright as a star, but unfortunately, she died in her best years.

I was just a speck of dust, unworthy of dignity.

That night, they continued to party and went to the hot springs.

Beau leaned on the car seat, tapping his fingers on the window frame, and a hint of boredom flashed in his eyes.

Suddenly, his cell phone rang.

He looked slightly relaxed and gestured for Arya to answer it.

Arya said, "It must be a prank. Someone named Haley said Leila passed away. She was drinking with us just now. How could she suddenly die?"

I thought he would believe Haley's words.

He should have buried me for the sake of my face.

However, he squeezed Arya's hand and snorted coldly, "Don't worry about her. How could she die so easily?"

That's right. Beau never believed me.

That time, when Haley rescued me from the cold storage room, I was already stiff and my family doctor declared that I had no vital signs.
