Julianna's POV
Do not look back!
The wind was howling through the storm, and the Pale Lightning was roaring over my head, like a horrible monster chasing me, as if it would consume me in an instant.
I was barefoot, running madly down a dirty, glass-strewn path, ignoring the pain of sharp glass piercing the soles of my feet.
With every step mixed with blood and sand, pain dispersed my intoxication, The rain soon dispersed a string of footprints behind me.
"Don't waste your time, Bitch! It'll be great to fuck you in the Rain!"
A drunk said behind me hoarsely.
It was only one of them talking, but there were no fewer than two footsteps!
Do not stopping, Do not turning back, Do not giving up!
I don't even have time to remember how it all started, except that one minute I was drinking vodka at a swimsuit party at Gideon's house, and the next I was tied up in a dark dirty warehouse.
I didn't even get a good look at the person who kidnapped me, and I didn't know how on Earth I was kidnapped here. I didn't have time to think, soon, I heard a man outside the house talking excitedly about how many people were going to fuck me tonight.
I was shaking all over, but I gritted my teeth and told myself I had to get out of this shit place !
Gideon must still be waiting for me to come home!
When I think of my fiancé Gideon, all of my courage and determination comes from my brain. I take a deep breath and look around. I can feel my hands are tied against the back of my chair.
Luckily, there was a piece of metal sticking out of the back of the chair, and I cut my rope and ran out the window before they came in, despite the scraping on my wrists.
As I jumped, they found me!
I thought of the hunting scene, where I was like a deer on the run, and my escape might have been an impromptu performance for them, like a bunch of hyenas that never get enough to eat, running madly after any prey that came into sight!
My heart was already beating wildly in my carotid artery, I wasn't surprised that my heart would jump out of my throat the next second.
I have a feeling that they don't just want my body, they want my life!
Gideon and I are getting married next month, and I am not gonna die here like this!
A thunderbolt struck, and I found myself in front of a 10-foot barbed wire fence!
The narrow path did not allow me to turn away--the three stooped, booze-reeking tramps were standing two metres away from me, smiling obscenely.
A man with his dirty shirt open walked up to me.
Even though it's raining now, it can't wash away the stench from them!
"Stop struggling, Slut!" The three men quickly surrounded me. One of them licked his lips. When I saw his yellowed teeth, I couldn't help but feel my stomach twitching.
As his large, muddy hands tightened around my neck, I realized I was still wearing the Bikini Gideon had given me!
His rough hands wrapped around my breasts and squeezed my nipples.
"See, what a sensitive body you are, you are a total slut!"
"Let Me Go!" I screamed. "If you hurt me, I swear! My family will hunt you down forever!"
"There are simple ways to avoid this, as long as kill you, your family will not know who did it!" A man unbuckled his belt, a lewd smile.
"No!" I shook my head frantically, my loose hair held tightly by a man. I was like a puppet at the mercy of others, completely powerless to fight back.
"Scream louder, bitch, the Thunder will match your raucous cries, and we'll be even more excited!" Another man grabbed my wrist, forcing my body to cling to his disgusting chest.
The Smell of sweat, and the smell of alcohol on their breath, made me sick to my stomach.
It's a sin city in the middle of the night, and I know for a fact that the only thing you can call for help in here is the bald rats coming out of the sewer!
Gideon! Where are you? Please, come here!
"Someone wants you dead. If the employer hadn't wanted to see your body, a sexy slut like you would have gotten a good price on the dark web!" A man smiled gloomily.
Another deafening thunder!
"Who? Who Wants me to die?" I have no strength to struggle again, but his words let my body is like being struck by lightning, a violent shiver.
Suddenly, my phone rang.
"Oh, It's the boss! You can guess who it is. " A man took out his phone and grinned after looking at the screen. "This is our last kindness to you. You must let us enjoy your body later!"
I do not care what he said, just opened my eyes widely, held my breath staring at the phone screen!
"Does Julianna dead?" The voice on the telephone is cold, low, "Don't forget to send me the photograph of her body !"
"Gi......Gideon?" My heart was instantly torn by this familiar voice!
Why Him?
Why is Gideon, my fiance of three years!
Julianna's POV
I don't know if Gideon heard me screaming, just when I was about to say something, a man put a heavy hand over my mouth.
"This kind of seductive beauty is rare to us. We plan to enjoy it. Don't worry, I'll send you a photo of the corpse in an hour!" The man chuckled, his eyes wandered over me!
No, it can't be Gideon. I don't get it--Our wedding is next month, he love me so much, he wouldn't do such a cruel thing to me!
Or in this humiliating way to kill me!
"Whatever. Get it over as soon as possible, and get rid of the body!"
Just now I wasn't sure if it was Gideon's voice, or rather, I couldn't believe it was him!
It pains me to see the truth!
But that's the harsh reality, isn't it?
I finally believe, is him, the man who I loved so much!
I knew him so well, his voice came to me in my dreams everynight, how could I hear it wrong?
But I don't want to Die! I want to know why he killed me in such a cruel way!
"Darling, is that Bitch Dead?" Suddenly, another familiar voice came from the phone--Bella, Gideon's childhood friend!
"Soon, baby, after kill her, I finilly can marry you!"
The smell of rain, garbage cans and sewers, like Gideon and that Bitch's rotting soul!
That's the reasion!
My blood seemed to reach freezing point, and as soon as the phone hung up, I bit down hard on the hand that was covering my mouth, and with a scream from that dirty man, I broke free for a moment, but I knew that escape was impossible, even if I Die Tonight, I'll take someone with me!
I quickly crouched down to pick up a piece of glass, and then cut the throat of the man closest to me.
Blood splashed into my eyes, eventually it ran down my nose and into my mouth.
Stinking!Filthy! Disgusting!
Suddenly,a sharp pain in my heart behind me--A sharp knife went into my chest, near the heart!
I held the glass tightly in my hand and looked viciously at the man whose throat I had slit--not enough, not nearly enough!
I want Gideon and Bella and these bastards all down to Hell!
I Can't die yet!
My heart began to beat more and more slowly, the Thunder carrying my heavy heartbeat sounded like sad and stirring music playing for me!
I can feel my life in the passing, tiredness and fatigue that I had never experienced swept over me.
I feel cold, drained,worn out.
"Fuck! This bitch killed Jason!"
"I don't think we need to get rid of the body. Tomorrow, when these bodies be found out, the police will decide that they killed each other, so it's just easier!"
......
My two eyes are black and finally are heavily planted in the puddle.
Why me? I just turned 21, and I haven't even had my birthday next week. Am I going to die?
It's cold, so cold. It is freezing!
At this moment I have lost all my senses, I feel my body is so light, like a huge force sucked me out of this cold body.
My hatred was like a black cloud rolling in the sky. At last, I felt my blood, hate and tears turning into dark and violent raindrops, soaking the crime capital!
After the Lightning, I finally found myself out of the cold body, such as a light smoke floating in the air general, I became a ghost form!
Just as I was about to take a closer look at the tiny body in the pool of blood for the last time, I saw a figure running frantically toward me in the distance.
He ran up to me madly, knelt beside my body, took me in his arms, and then he let out a roar!
I saw his eyes red with pathos, and I heard his hoarse voice repeating, "I should have come sooner, Julianna!"
Lyon?
Gideon's brother-in-law, the guy I've only talked to a few times!
I watched him frantically kiss my cold forehead. Even though the body was unconscious, I could feel his hot tears.
It turns out that the people who love me are the people I have been most afraid of!
If I had to do it all over again, I swear, I would never let the people who love me pay for me in silence again, and I would never let go of the people who want me dead!
The people who killed me, I'd give it back twice as much!
But sadly, I Won't get a second chance.
Or, will I?
Julianna's POV
The warmth wrapped me up like a mother's womb and gave me unprecedented peace.
I closed my eyes, but still can feel a soft light shining on my eyelids, and then gradually fill the light until it covers my whole body.
I slowly opened my eyes and felt the breeze caressing my cheek.
"Darling, are you awake?" The deep voice came from the bedroom door, I rubbed my eyes, against the light to see the familiar figure!
"Gideon!" My Brain snapped and I sat up from the bed.
"You looks so pale,babe, are you all right?" Gideon asked, frowning at me as he approached me with a steaming cup of coffee.
I quickly shrank toward the head of the bed, my heart beating faster and my face paler.
Until now, I was totaly awake. I remembered all the nightmare!
In My Dream, I saw this handsome blond man, my fiance, trying to kill me!
My hand trembled and stroked my heart, and the sharp pain of the knife in my back seemed to linger in my memory.
"You had a nightmare?" He chuckled and handed me the coffee. "You have nightmares every time you get your period. You seemed to be talking in your sleep last night."
Was everything a Dream?
That horrible, dark night, even Lyon, who holding my cold body, is a dream?
"What did I say when I fall asleep?" I gasped for the cup of coffee, frowned at Gideon.
He cocked his head and thought, "My name, of course!"
"By the way, my dad just called me and said he and Mom have set a date for our wedding." Gideon was about to turn around when something occurred to him and he looked down at me.
My heart throbbed again.
Wait a minute,what he just said? A date for out the wedding?
I suddenly found that I am now wearing a winter nightdress, the window branches are bare!
And I remembered yesterday's summer bathing suit party here so clearly!
Even though I had a nightmare,but that dosen't mean I will confuse reality with dreams!
As my thoughts grew clearer, I began to remember this familiar scene--a year ago, a week before our engagement party!
Every hair on my body stood on end. I looked up at him with a trembling voice. "March 20th!"
"What?" He paused.
"Our wedding is set for March 20th!" My breathing grew heavy, and I felt as if a huge stone had been tied to my body, pulling my whole body downward.
Gideon was surprised. Then he burst out laughing. "My dad said he and Mom set the wedding date this morning, but they lied to me. I guess they already told you!"
Actually, no!
I picked up my phone by my pillow and looked at today's date--June 3,2023!
I am reborn to a year ago!
Back before the nightmare!
In a trance, my coffee spilt all over the bed.
"Julianna, are you sick?" Gideon, startled by my gesture, hurried up to me and tried to touch my cheek!
Instinctively, I avoided his hand.
His hand was frozen in mid-air, and this time he seemed really flustered: "Don't frighten me, my dear, what's the matter with you?"
God knows how much I wanted to question why he had been pretending to love me!
Even though I'm filled with hate right now, I know that God has given me this chance to be born again, to have enough time to look at the people around me, the people who seem to care about me, but actually want me dead, this time, I will open my eyes, dispel the fog that covers the heart, see those demons clearly!
"I am fine, just a sudden pain in the stomach, so did not hold the cup." I pretended to be calm, looked up at him calmly said.
Gideon took my word for it. He nodded. "That's all right. Just let Miss Smith to get a new sheet."
He paused. "By the way, I have prepared your a formal dress for tonight. I'm pretty sure you will love it."
A formal dress?
I suddenly remembered that we were going to his father's seaside mansion for dinner tonight to welcome back his young uncle, Lyon!
