Ember Of Love

"Room A405, Maple Hotel."

After reading that message again, Yoyo You clutched her phone until her fingers started to turn pale. She looked up at the building in front of her. Her gaze fixed on the gigantic name of the hotel that was ornamented with bright lights.

She was outside the most famous hotel in the city center, which was a gathering place of people from the upper class. An ordinary person would find it hard to check in here.

Her eyes darkened and fury surged up in her heart when she thought that Chappell Li was with another woman inside the hotel.

She took a deep breath to calm herself down before she entered the hotel and get into the elevator. After a while, she stopped in front of a room.

She thought that she was already in front of the door of Room A405 now.

A hint of rage flashed across her eyes. She didn't know what would transpire when the door opened. Her hand trembled when she raised it to knock.

Chappell Li had been her boyfriend for three years. And during all those times, she had always been submissive to him. She became so obedient that even she couldn't believe herself. She strongly believed that a couple should trust each other and give each other space. But she didn't expect that the space she had given to Chappell Li would lead to something inauspicious.

She took a deep breath and prepared herself to knock.

But as soon as her knuckles touched the wooden door, it slightly moved. She was stunned.

'They didn't even lock the door?'

she thought. The people inside seemed to be so excited that they didn't even care if they closed the door.

With face flushed in anger, she opened the camera of her phone and pushed the door open. She wanted to make sure that she was ready to take photos of Chappell Li and his other woman.

Bang!

"Ahhh!" She screamed in pain when her whole back hit the door. Someone pushed her hard, and she didn't see it coming.

"Ouch!

Chappell Li, how dare you!" she yelled through clenched teeth.

She heard a breath coming in gasps, and a tall, slender figure approached her. The next second, she felt that the collar of her dress was pulled and torn.

"What are you doing?" She broke out into a cold sweat, but she plucked up all her courage to scold the figure in front of her.

The man in front of her was not Chappell Li.

The man ignored her screams and even moved closer and closer to her. This time, she could smell peppermint mixed with alcohol. Much to her surprise, the man's thin lips claimed her lips aggressively.

Panic suddenly overwhelmed her. She didn't know what was going on.

Before she came here, she received some messages containing photos of Chappell Li entering the hotel with a woman. And the sender even gave her the room number. Was everything a lie? She couldn't believe that she was fooled. And one thing was for sure now. She put herself in danger.

She turned her head away to avoid the man's touch. She was about to speak when she felt that he wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her up.

"Let me go!" she shouted hoarsely. She kicked her legs hard in hopes that the man would put her down, but it didn't work.

The man frowned, and his steps wobbled for a moment. But then, he managed to throw her onto the bed. He pressed his body against hers, his big hands wandered around until they found the zipper of her dress.

Since she was sure that he was not Chappell Li, she tried to plead. "Sir, please calm down. This is just a misunderstanding," she said in a trembling voice. She tried scratching his body, but she only became more panicky when her hands touched his solid muscles.

'I am doomed, ' she thought to herself.

Her mind went blank as she stared at the man absentmindedly. From the faint light coming from the window, she was able to see his impeccable face and misty eyes.

Although it wasn't that bright, she could tell from his eyes that he was not in his right mind. "Hey, wake up!

Are you crazy?"

The man must be drunk. Or worse, he was high in drugs.

This time, the man became more audacious. He grabbed her waist and dragged her towards him.

"Help! Please help me!" she screamed desperately, hoping that someone heard her. But as time passed, she couldn't hear any sign that someone was outside.

She felt nothing but hopelessness now as she stared at the ceiling. She couldn't do anything to stop the man, who was pressing his body hard against hers. All of a sudden, her eyes opened wide, and her body trembled when she felt his warmth inside her.

The man had taken her effortlessly. She subconsciously grabbed his shoulder and bit it with all her might.

He must have felt the pain because he stopped what he was doing. She took the opportunity that he was in a trance. She pushed him away and staggered to the door, though her legs felt weak.

The man went after her and held her waist. But she scratched him again, kicked him hard, and reached for the doorknob.

She heard a muffled sound behind her as if something hit the edge of the bed.
