Gold ring with one love shape diamond, embed with small diamonds around it.

What was meant as a sign of love and devotion for other couples was nothing but a testament of his ownership on me. A daily reminder for the rest of my life. Until death do us part wasn’t an empty promise as with so many other couples that entered the holy bond of marriage. 

There was no way out of this union for me. So I was own by my husband until the end of my life. The last few words of the oath that men swore when they were inducted into the Black Clans could just as well have been the closing of my wedding vow.

This wedding wasn’t about love or trust or choice. It was about duty and honour, about doing what was expected.

A bond to ensure peace in Black territory and White Clans stop more bloodshed in between two big clans on this earth, B Clans and the last W Clans feud that clashes more than 2000 years.

"Well, he was busy helping her insult me."


"I bet Xu getting his ass kicked for letting you slip away. Serves him right."


I almost felt sorry for Xu, but then I reminded myself that he'd known about Fenli all along. 


It had been written all over his face. 


Were they all laughing about me behind my back?


 "Are you talking to Big sister?" I could hear Qinli excited voice in the background. 


"That's none of your business. Get out of my room, you little bird."


"I want to talk to her! She's my sister too!"


"Not now. This is private." There was shouting, then the bang of a door, followed by fists hammering against wood.


 My heart swelled with warmth and I smiled. This had been my life not too long ago. 


Now I only had a cheating husband to return to.


 I paid and left the restaurant, returning to roaming the streets. 


Now was dark but they were still crowded with people on their way home from dinner or on their way to a club or bar.


"You can't let him treat you like that. You must fight back."


"I don't know if fighting him is something I want to do."


"What can he do to you? You aren't his enemy or his soldier, and he said he didn't beat women, nor would he force himself on you. What's left? Lock you in your room without dinner?"


"Maybe you should cheat on him. Go to a club, find a hot guy and sleep with him."


"He'd kill him. I don't want blood on my hands."


"Then do something else. I don't care as long as you pay him back for what he's doing to you. He'll probably just keep cheating on you. Fight back."


But Qina was the fighter. I preferred subtle tactics. 


"I should get rid of this phone now. I need more time to think and don't want Fu Shao to track me down."


"Call me as soon as you can. No matter the time. If I don't hear from you tomorrow morning, I don't care who I have to take down to fly to B city."


Before Qina could say any more, I turned my phone off, disabled it and threw it into a dustbin before walking the streets aimlessly. It was past midnight and I was getting tired. 


The only thing that kept me going was the image of Fu Shao going crazy because he couldn't find me. He hated not being in control and now I'd slipped away from him.


So I wished I could see it as bought a coffee and wrapped my fingers around the warm paper cup as I leaned against the facade of the coffee shop and let my eyes wander over the thinning number of passerby.


 Every time a lover walked past me, holding hands, kissing and laughing and being in love, my chest tightened. My eyes burnt from exhaustion and my earlier crying. 


I hailed a taxi and let it take me to our penthouse building.
