A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Mr. and Mrs. Tao lived in another place not too far away, so the only occupants of this villa were Mark, Tina and a few maidservants.

All servants in this villa were well trained to play dumb about Tina and Mark's behavior and to keep silent about their secrets.

Tina was sitting lazily at the table while Mark fed her food affectionately. She revelled at her newly painted nails and casually said to Mark, "You know, I have been home for a long time now."

Mark understood what she meant and said, "Don't you enjoy staying at home? It's dangerous outside."

"Dangerous? But if I stay at home every day, no one will see my beautiful face," she said.

Tina ran her fingers over her face, which was looked exactly like Emily's and continued, "As for Emily, how dare she..."

"What did she do to you?" Mark asked nervously.

"Nothing," Tina answered quickly. She did not want to worry Mark about it.

Tina recalled her memories from that past when Emily grabbed her by the throat arrogantly and disrespected her. She fondly remembered how the feeling of suffocation got her excitement at that moment.

Tina had to admit that Emily was quite different from before. This really raised her interest. Though Emily was not so weak as before, still she craved to see how Emily kneed at her feet and wiped her shoes. She wanted to try something more interesting this time.

'That would be interesting, very interesting, indeed, ' Tina imagined in her mind.

Mark understood that Tina did not want to tell him so he squinted his eyes at her and asked gently, "What do you plan to do about your painting from yesterday?"

"Oh, you mean that..." Tina thought about the black and gloomy eyes of a young woman and continued, "Bury her alive somewhere you like."

"Okay," Mark answered and continued feeding her.

On second thought, Tina changed her mind and said, "No. Let her be. Besides, I worked so hard on that painting, it would be a waste to throw it away."

"All right," he said. Most of the time, Mark would agree to all her requests.
