Bye, My Ex-husband
Chapter 1: Take What We Need
It was late into the night, and the lights inside the Lu family villa shone brightly, a stark contrast amongst the otherwise dark street.As she stood in front of the windows looking out, Janessa Qui made her last call to Rayan Lu.
After a few rings, the call was abruptly ended, as she expected.
She took a few deep breaths to steady herself before flinging the phone aside, unwrapping her bathrobe, and stepping into the steaming bathtub.She closed her eyes to rest.
The warmth of the water calmed her, and her eyelids soon grew heavy.
A few years back, her father passed away, and now, her mother was seriously ill.This made her Uncle Aydin restless most days, and he ended up causing trouble for everyone.
She had only been working in the company for a few days, but she was already exhausted.Before she could fall into a deep sleep, she could vaguely make out dull footsteps from outside the room.
It seemed close by, but she couldn't bring herself to open her eyes and step out of the bathtub.When she heard a muffled ‘bang’, she woke up completely and was suddenly alert.
"Who is it?" she called.
Janessa quickly wrapped herself in her bathrobe and hesitantly opened the door with eyes wide open.
The bright light emanating from the hallway made it difficult to see the man's face, and she was terrified of the sudden noise he caused.
When she finally recognized his face, her heart skipped a beat.
"Calm down, it’s me!" the man drawled.
His voice was low and hoarse, and she could smell alcohol from where she stood.
Janessa’s tense body relaxed a fraction at the sound of the familiar voice.
Out of instinct, she moved back into the bathroom.
She warily looked at Rayan Lu, who was obviously intoxicated.
"I'm taking a bath right now. You need to leave!" she ordered in a shaky voice.
There was a hint of embarrassment in her words.
Rayan’s brows furrowed as he looked back at Janessa with hazy eyes.
His sharp features had an indescribable expression in them, different from the brooding and domineering expression he normally wore.
With every step he took towards her, Janessa's body coiled in tension, and her breathing soon grew ragged.Even after all this time, she still couldn't forget what he had done to her on their wedding night.
