Fated love: the unwanted bride

She knew now, her forever with Sylvan Cheney… was twelve years.

Raindrops on her bangs brought her attention to the heavy rain.

She ran back to the side of the road, bought an umbrella, opened it, and started home.

Night fell, the light from the streetlamps shattered by the rain, fragmented and broken.

The night was already dark, the wind blowing into her collar, so cold.

The sky was like ink, soaked with rainfall, surrounded by darkness, only the ceaseless cars passing by.

A gust of wind blew, and Jasmine Yale firmly gripped her umbrella.

Her cold had just gotten better, but now with the rain, it would come back.

She used to be healthy, but since she lost her child three years ago, her health had been declining, frequent colds, fevers, and nightmares.

A drop of rain fell on Jasmine Yale’s eyelashes, her vision blurred instantly.

She held tightly onto the umbrella, walking along the roadside with her head down.

When she walked onto a quiet street, the rain worsened, showing no signs of stopping, the wind sweeping through.

Her shoes were soaked.

Jasmine Yale looked down regretfully at the new shoes she had just bought recently.

As she hopped over a puddle, continuing forward, suddenly, a rustling sound!

A black Benz came to a stop by the side of the road–

Jasmine Yale was about to evade, the car door opened, two bodyguards in black suits climbed out.

The men’s expressions were grim, standing under the rain, as if they couldn’t feel the downpour.

One in front, one behind, blocking Jasmine Yale’s path!

“Who are…” Jasmine Yale was shocked, her eyes wide with panic!

Did she cause troubles in Sinkapore? Impossible.

“Miss Yale, please come with us.” the bodyguard in front spoke.

“I don’t know you guys.”

“That doesn’t matter, we know you.”

Jasmine Yale grabbed hold of the umbrella tightly in fear, two steps back with trembling body.

Her heart was pounding, like a deer running wild.

Her hands were cold, ice-cold.

Did she offend someone? Who were these men? She didn’t know!

“You must be…”

Before she could finish, someone ‘bangs’ her from the back of her head, she could feel a soft thud and then collapsed.

Her head hurt, her vision went dark.

She only remembered, the umbrella slipped from her hand.

“Thud”–

It felt like bells tolling – – disrupting tranquility.

Her head pounded with a severe headache, her ears ringing ceaselessly, as if disturbed by a swarm of bees.

When Jasmine Yale came to, she didn’t know what time it was.

In front of her was pitch black, as if she couldn’t see her fingers when extending her hand.

Within the darkness, she forced her eyes open, hoping to find something.

But, she couldn’t find anything.

Except for never-ending darkness.

Groping in the air for anything but clutching only at the air and a substantial wall!

Who were they? Why did they kidnap her?

She was an imperceptibly mild person.

“Help!” she banged on the wall, her voice weak.

She didn’t know how many hours had passed, and she didn’t know where she was.

This feeling of not knowing anything… was terrible.

She felt along the wall, but there was nothing, just the wall and the damp smell.

Her steps were small, she was afraid of bumping into something.

It was silent, infinite silence!

After her shopping trip, she hadn’t eaten, now she was very hungry.

It seemed, she had been knocked out for a while now.

“Help…” Just as she was about to speak again, suddenly, she heard a sound.

Very faint and weak.

Jasmine Yale moved towards the sound, placing her ear against the wall to listen..
