An excruciating pain forced Naomi Ching back to consciousness.

She managed to open her eyes, finding herself smothered under something heavy.

It took her a split second to realize it was actually a large man covered in weird scars on top of her, and she could feel a warm sensation pouring into her body!

Her eyes widened in horror and she struggled to break free. "Who are you? Get off of me! Get out! You pervert! *sshole!"

She used everything she had in her to resist, but the man easily stopped her.

He was too strong, and the pain took her over. She could not even make a sound. Her mouth opened wordlessly, her throat was so dry.

The man did not say a word. He didn't stop, and acted as if he never heard her.

This was Naomi's first time experiencing such terror. She felt like her internal organs were hurting so much as if they did not belong to her!

She could not stop crying, which seemed to anger the man even more. The man raised his hand to cover her eyes, and his impersonal voice was full of derision. "Why are you crying when you're the one who's selling yourself?"

Naomi froze in shock.

What did he mean by "selling yourself"?

She was Ching family's second daughter. She would never have to stoop so low as to sell herself!

However, as she thought that, a memory flashed in her mind.

She remembered going out with her stepmother, Amelia Hsu, and her stepsister, Dianna Ching. How did she end up here, under this man, forced to experience such a nightmare?

There was only one possibility. She had been drugged by Amelia and Dianna and they’re the culprits!

What gave them the guts to do such a thing to her?

Were they not afraid that her father would settle the score with them?

Confused and repulsed, unfortunately, she couldn't extricate herself from the situation. The man straddling her was very fierce; he did not give her any breathing space, as if he wanted to plunder her very soul.

Finally, when the man left, thoroughly satisfied, she was in so much pain that she didn't have the strength to even turn over. Even just breathing was exhausting.

Lying on the bed with her eyes closed, she felt someone put a pill into her mouth. She did not have the strength to swallow it, and the pill stayed stuck in her throat.

As she swam in and out of consciousness, she vaguely heard the conversation around her.

It was her stepmother and stepsister, Amelia and Dianna!

Naomi struggled to open her eyes, but her eyelids were so heavy, as if they were weighed down. She concentrated on the conversation instead.

Amelia was asking, "Is the birth-control pill effective?"

Dianna replied confidently, "This is from Mr. Lu's men. They said that it's the best and latest pill available. Just one will be effective!"

Only then did Amelia breathe a sigh of relief. "You must not let her become pregnant with Mr. Lu's child. She's not worthy!"

Dianna naturally agreed. "Of course, although Mr. Lu is... ill, countless women are waiting in line to be Mrs. Lu. We can't let her take advantage of us!"

Then, Diana seemed to notice something and was a little worried. "Mom, she looks like she's having trouble breathing. Is she going to die?"

Amelia sneered, "It's better that she's dead so that she won't interrupt our plans in the future!"

Dianna let out a sigh of relief. "That's true. For someone whose own father hates her, giving her death would be showing mercy."

Naomi felt her blurry consciousness tremble.

What did Dianna mean? Her father hated her this much?

As confusion swirled in her mind, she heard Amelia laugh. "Her father doesn't hate her so much now, though. By selling her off to Mr. Lu, he got a hundred million yuan in return to save his company. He can't even wait to celebrate!"

"If it wasn't for Mr. Lu saying that he only wanted her once, her father would have sent her to his house and let him trample on her every day!"

Dianna laughed gleefully. "She's such a fool. She really doesn't know her limits. Her father is already my father! The three of us are family. She is nothing but an outsider!"

Although Naomi could not open her eyes, each word was hammered straight into her brain.

The hurt she felt in her heart even overwhelmed the physical pain she was experiencing.

So it was not only Amelia and Dianna who had schemed against her. Even her own father had conspired!

She was overwhelmed with grief, but because of what she just went through, she had no strength left to cry.

"All right, let's not waste any more time."

Naomi heard Amelia say. "She probably won't live much longer. The sea is just here under the cliff. Why don't we just throw her into the sea and destroy all traces of her!"

Dianna agreed immediately.

The two of them joined hands and lifted Naomi up.

Naomi was drained of every last bit of energy. She could not open her eyes or her mouth. She could not lift even a finger. She could only allow herself to be carried away like a living dead person.

She kept shouting in her heart that she was still alive!

That this was murder!

She would not let them go even if she died!

However, Amelia and Dianna could not hear her desperate thoughts.

Naomi felt the cold sea breeze blowing on the cliff, and the next moment, she was dumped into the cold water.

Her remaining consciousness completely dissipated under rough waters.
