My Husband Turned Me into A Snake Woman

Seeing that I remained silent, a fleeting trace of hesitation flashed through Victor’s eyes, but it disappeared just as quickly.

"Lock her in the karaoke room with the snakes. She can come out when she admits her mistake and begs for mercy."

With that, Victor threw me and the entire bag of snakes into the glass-walled room. He then crossed his arms over his chest, confidently waiting at the door for my screams and submission.

I used to be terrified of snakes. Even after my body was gradually altered by the researchers on Snake Island, transforming me into something inhuman, the sight of a snake would still make me tremble.

But later, in order to break me completely, the researchers threw me into a pit swarming with thousands upon thousands of snakes. There was no food, only the snakes themselves.

They forced me to adapt. Forced me to survive. Forced me to forget that I was ever human.

If I didn’t want to die of thirst or starvation, there was only one rule to follow—survival of the fittest. The strong devoured the weak.

After living in the snake pit for two months, I no longer saw snakes as terrifying creatures. To me, they had become nothing more than delicious food.

As I opened my mouth and bit into a green snake. I saw Victor’s staggering steps reflected in the glass.

"Eve, are you insane? What are you doing…?"

Victor had no idea that a single rat could never satisfy my hunger.

But this bag of snakes he had so graciously delivered to me was the greatest gift. The perfect nourishment.

Under the horrified and bloodshot gazes of Victor and my parents, I raised my head high and swallowed the writhing snake whole.

Victor’s eyes were bloodshot as he rushed into the karaoke room, yanking the snake from my hands and tossing it aside. Then, he pulled me into a tight embrace.

"Enough, Eve. Stop forcing yourself like this. Let’s not fight anymore, okay?"

I didn’t understand why he had taken my food away.

At the research institute, in order to secure more funding, they had transformed me into a "snake woman" and sent me to serve men with particular tastes, to be their amusement.

I had learned that only by pleasing men could I earn the right to eat.

So, I parted my tongue into two halves and obediently knelt before Victor.

Tucking my loose hair behind my ear, I reached out to unbuckle his belt.

His pupils shrank in disbelief and his voice turned hoarse and heavy.

"Eve… what exactly did you learn during those six months on Snake Island? Do you even remember that you are the heiress of the River Family?"

Victor suddenly grabbed my hand, his face filled with pain.

"When you played the piano, you were like a goddess, high and untouchable. How can you use these hands, the same hands that won national piano awards, for something so degrading, just to please men?"

His knuckles turned white from how tightly he gripped me. I didn’t understand his reaction, only that his hold was hurting me, so I instinctively pulled my hand back.

He was the one who sent me to this island. Here, my body had been altered into something others desired and my mind had been tamed into submission, turned into something less than human, something closer to a snake.

To survive, these hands, this mouth and every inch of my body had long since been used for things far filthier than he could imagine.

And now, he was disgusted by me. Calling me dirty.

I stared at him, unblinking. Yet, in the face of my gaze, he didn’t even have the courage to look me in the eye.

His lips pressed into a tight line. Then, his voice was cold and sharp.

"Find out exactly what happened to Eve on Snake Island in the past six months!"

The wait felt endless. Victor held me on his lap, wrapping my hands tightly in his palms, as if trying to pass warmth into me.

But he didn’t know that every drop of my blood had been replaced, that I had long become a cold-blooded creature. No matter how much warmth he tried to give, he would never thaw me.

Half an hour later, two men dragged my caretaker before us.

"I entrusted Eve's well-being to you," Victor's voice was icy, pressing down like a blade. "Now tell me, how did she turn into this? Neither human nor snake, all in just six short months?"

Under his interrogation, the caretaker trembled uncontrollably.
