Memories (1)

Lin Qiuyue was thrown into a small room.

"No... let me out please....let me out...I need to see my children." Lin Qiuyue cried as she buried her head in her legs.

"No one will hear you" a faint voice came from her back. Lin Qiuyue raised up her head and turned to look at the person. A young girl probably 20 years old was standing in front of her. She was beautiful with procleain skin filled with various scars over her body.

"Who are you?" Lin Qiuyue asked.

"My name is Bai Mei" the girl said as she got closer to Lin Qiuyue and sat down close to her.

"The doors are all sound proof. So no one can hear you".

"What is your name?" Bai Me asked as she looked at Lin Qiuyue.

"Lin Qiuyue" Lin Qiuyue answered as her eyes wandered around the room.

"Why are you here?....did they kidnap you? " Lin Qiuyue asked curiously.

"No.... I was brought here....just like the rest of the girls here" Bai Mei answered.

"I don't understand.....what do you mean?" Lin Qiuyue asked.

"This place is where the rich, powerful and influential dispose unwanted people like you, me and the rest of the girls here" Bai Mei answered. Lin Qiuyue couldn't help but ask her to explain further.

"During his campaign, my father posed himself as a righteous man without any flaws just to get votes from the mass... but he did have one flaw... ME" Bai Meisaid as her eyes turned red.

"My mother was nothing but a side piece to my father so I was born an illegitimate child. Since my father was running for office, he had to make sure that no one would be able to dig up any dirt about him so he sent me here" Bai Mei said as tears fell from her eyes.

"How long have you been here?" Lin Qiuyue asked as her voice was laced with pity.

"Since last two years" Bai Mei answered. Lin Qiuyue eyes were welled up with tears.

"What about you?" Bai Me asked. "How did you get here?"

Lin Qiuyue was silent for a while before speaking.

"Some years back, my grandfather fell into debt. In order for him to pay back, he begged the Qin family patriach for a large amount of money and they both agreed on a time that my grandfather would pay back. After paying all the debt, my grandfather started working very hard to pay back the Qin family before the time they both agreed on but unfortunately he died as a result of high blood pressure so the debt fell on my mom" Lin Qiuyue explained.

"What about your father... didn't he do anything to help your grandfather?" Bai Mei asked.

"Hmm... after my grandfather fell into debt with the Qin family, my father divorced my mom and disowned because he did not want to get on the bad side of the Qin family." Lin Qiuyue answered.
