Derek knew very well that this was just Meredith's disguise, so he did not have pity for her, just to vent the unhappiness in his heart.

It took some time before Derek finally stopped and pushed Meredith away when she couldn't almost feel her body.

"Get out.”

The man walked into the bathroom and ordered her coldly like he was giving orders to some lowly prostitute.

His words stabbed her like a sharp knife. She knew that Derek hated her, but the way he treated her was like trampling her dignity on the ground. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

However, she did not dare to stay here; she silently picked up the scattered clothes on the ground and teetered back to the room with her aching body.

After locking the door, Meredith ran into the bathroom immediately. She looked at the disheveled woman in the mirror and felt gloomy.

She had led a life like this.

Meredith thought sadly, turning on the tap, washing her body, and lying down on the bed exhaustedly.

For the next few days, nightmares kept repeating. Derek would sometimes call her into the master bedroom, torture her, and then kick her out.

Because of this physical and mental torture, Meredith soon became much thinner and haggard. She could only hope that Derek would get tired of this boring thing someday and let her go. Meredith was just about to take a car home when she came out of the office in a daze when suddenly a car stopped in front of her, "Meredith, you haven't been replying to me lately. Why..." Parker had contacted Meredith for the past few days, but she hadn't replied. Out of worry, he had to come downstairs to her company to wait for her. By the time he saw Meredith, he was so startled that he couldn't finish his sentence.

"What's happened to you? Why are you so skinny?” Parker hurriedly got out of the car. Meredith looked at him dully. Only when she found out it was Parker did she squeeze out a smile.

"It's you..."

Now, no matter what Meredith did, she felt extremely tired. Every night, she was humiliated by Derek. In order to escape from the painful feeling, she had to deceive and isolate herself. Only in this way would she not be driven mad by the sense of shame.

Over time, she felt that she was not normal.

She habitually avoided what was happening outside. She could only understand what others were saying when they talked to her several times.

"You look terrible, Meredith. What happened?"

Parker was really frightened by her appearance. The last time when she was framed by Ava to be the other woman and was insulted by others, she was not like this - a puppet without a soul.

"What happened was that..." Meredith looked at the concern in Parker's eyes. The guard in her heart cracked a little, but she didn't dare to say the following words.

Seeing that she hesitated, Parker got out of the car and helped her to get in, "I'll take you out for a ride.”

Meredith wanted to refuse, but when she saw Parker's concerned eyes, she calmed down eventually. Perhaps, this was the only person in the world who would care so much about her.

Parker took her to the beach

"Come on, look at the sea. Maybe you'll feel better.”

Meredith got out of the car quietly and looked at the blue sea in front of her. The melancholy in her eyes was not a little less.

From the day she was raped and lost her virginity by a man she didn't know, she felt like she could no longer go back to her original life.

Parker sighed when he saw that she was still silent.

"I won't force you if you don't want to tell me. How about I tell you my story?”

"Now that you look at me, you might think I'm doing pretty well, right? In fact, you probably wouldn't have imagined the days I spent as a child.”

Parker recounted his past.

Parker's mother used to be the most beautiful girl at S University in J City. Although she had an ordinary family background, her temperament was unique, so she was chased by countless men However, her luck was not good. After falling in love with a rich young master, she always thought that she met the right one. When she went to do the antenatal examination, she was stopped by a woman who claimed to be the man's fiancée. Only then did she realize that she had become the other woman unwittingly.

Being proud and dignified, she left the man, but could not bear to abort the child. During her childbirth, she had a massive hemorrhage and the boy became an orphan at birth.

The boy grew up in an orphanage. Normally, a healthy and intelligent boy like him would easily be adopted, but every time he was adopted for more than three months, he would be sent back to the orphanage.

Over time, the people in the orphanage all rejected him; they thought he probably had sticky fingers or even had some unmentionable disease.

The boy finally heard the truth one night before he was sent back to the orphanage for the last time.

It turned out that he was the illegitimate son of a prestigious family. Although his mother was dead, his father's legal wife knew of his existence, so every time he was about to live a good life, that woman would use her power to stop him.

When the boy learned all this, he did not let himself be sent back to the orphanage but went straight to a local underground casino. In the beginning, he was the lowest thug, but he never stopped seeking status...

In order to achieve his goals, he had done many wrong things.

Of course, one of the wrong things was causing Meredith's unjust imprisonment, but Parker kept this in his heart and did not say it.

Meredith was shocked when she heard what Parker said. She had always felt that he was a warm person. She had never expected his past to be so dark.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know..."

Meredith was sorry. She didn't want to rub Parker's nose in it.

"You don't need to apologize. I want to tell you my story, and just want you to know that there are no such setbacks that we can not overcome.”

"Do you know why I helped you when I first saw you?"

"Why?" Meredith asked.

"Because the look in your eyes at that time reminded me of myself." Parker said, his eyes fixed on Meredith.

Meredith lowered her eyes, "I..."

with difficulty, she told Parker everything that happened that day.

She talked about how she followed Ava and lost her virginity in a room somehow, but she omitted everything related to Derek.

"What?" Parker's heart ached when he heard her words and looked at her sad eyes.

He suddenly hated himself for not protecting the girl in front of him.

"What do you want to do now?"

Meredith clenched her lower lip. Parker did not despise her; instead, he wanted to help her, which made her feel reassured. "I want to find out where my mother is. I want to overturn that conviction and let those people pay the price. Also, that rapist must be found out and brought to justice. After that, I will find a place to live in seclusion with my mother.”

With that said, Meredith felt that these things were impossible. Originally, Derek had changed his attitude towards her a while ago, and she was going to ask him to help find her mother.

But now... She shivered at the thought of the man's violent look.
