Secret of Hidden Marriage

Cissy plodded through the crowd in a subway station, feeling like her body was falling apart.

She rubbed her aching shoulder. She was immediately lightened up when she looked at the light in a block of flats.

This was her home where lived a man she loved.

When the elevator arrived, she rushed out to open the door of her flat with keys and found a pair of woman's shoes on the hallway. It looked very familiar. Cissy bought it for Gloria Luis as a present.

Why Gloria had not told her that she would come, she wondered. Gloria was not well acquainted with her boyfriend. They knew each other because of Cissy.

Then, she was stunned by what she heard. It was Gloria's voice, but somehow it sounded so coquettish and so breathless.

"Chad, Chad! Harder!"

"Easy, my girl," said the man amusedly.

It was Chad, but he was also panting and sounded quite different from usual.

All of a sudden, Cissy's brain went blank and her face turned pale. She knew what that sound was, even though she had no experience.

Clothes scattered everywhere in the living room, indicating how passionate they were.

The licentious noise of the girl came from the master bedroom door that faced the living room.

Cissy had thought she could enjoy a moment of warmth after she got home from a tiring job. Now she had to face a very cruel scene. Thinking of this, she cowered.

"When Cissy is working in a film crew, you, you... so horny... seems like she didn't satisfy..." said Gloria coquettishly, holding Chad's shoulders.

"Don't you like it? How could she compare with you? She's frigid," said the man gasping and sniggering.

Cissy walked in the living room calmly. Judging from the opened door, they had been very hurried. Cissy could see two naked bodies twining together from the living room. This scene made Cissy disgusted.

It was early winter and the weather had cooled a little. Cissy went to the bathroom and got a basin of water. Then she carried it to the bedroom and poured the water into them before they noticed her.

"Ow!" Gloria screamed and the two naked bodies moved apart instantly. When they saw Cissy, they were both stunned.

Looking at the panic-stricken pair, speechlessly and calmly, Cissy felt her heart was torn into pieces.

Chad had never thought Cissy would come back today. She was a stuntwoman and should be working in the crew since there were many action scenes for the leading role she did stunts for.

"Shouldn't you be in the crew? Why are you here?" Chad was nervous and his eyebrows frowned.

"How could I miss such a good scene?" Cissy's eyes were full of anger. The thought of killing them flashed through her mind.

"Cissy, it is because you don't want to do it with me!" said Chad fiercely.

He picked clothes randomly from the closet and put them on, then threw a blanket to Gloria.

After she covered herself, Gloria, without a trace of shame on her face, glared at Cissy.

"Get out of here!" Cissy shouted when she noticed Gloria's provoking glare.

Gloria turned to look at Chad with her red eyes. She trembled with cold, trying her very best to show how pitiful she was.

Gloria's poor looking motivated Chad's protectiveness. "If you have to yell, yell at me. Don't do that to her. She was your best friend!" said Chad.

"What? Is it what the best friend does? You had sex in the flat I bought, and I cannot even yell?" Cissy laughed at Chad's ridiculous words even she was still extremely angry.

Her best friend? How could Chad say so!

"The flat you bought? I signed the property ownership certificate." Chad smiled coldly.

He didn't want to quarrel with her, but he felt that he was offended when Cissy said that she bought the flat. For Chad, Cissy was implying that he was good for nothing.

"It's you who should get out of here," murmured Gloria after she heard what Chad had said. Then she got closer to Chad like she was afraid that her words would infuriate Cissy.

"Did you hear that? It's you who should get out of here." Chad laughed coldly.

Men were quite into pretty and delicate women, who could motivate their protectiveness. Sure enough, Chad held Gloria into his arms.

Cissy was aching all over and her heart was aching the most. The ache was so severe that she could hardly breathe.

"Ah!" after a loud shout, Cissy jumped up and kicked Chad to the floor.

"Are you crazy?" said Chad disgustedly wiping the blood on a corner of his mouth after he was kicked in his face. "You kicked me?" The mobile phone Chad had just picked up with his trembling hand was swept to the floor by Cissy with her foot.

"Just wait. I will tell Yilia. And I will call the police on you for trespassing and assault. You're going to jail." Chad was not worried that Cissy would hurt him again.

To buy this small flat, Cissy concluded an extremely harsh contract with Global Entertainment. Yilia Chaine was kind of her agent, responsible for everything of Cissy.

Cissy disliked social engagement and could not accept the casting couch, so she was not in Yilia's good grace and was usually given some tiring jobs.

"OK. I'll wait." Cissy calmed herself down and took a look at the cuddling pair coldly, then ran away.

Cissy drifted on the streets, frustrated. In such a big city, there was not a secure place for her to cry alone.

Her eyes were sore, but no tears flowed out of her eyes. She lifted her chest and walked through the flow of people, aloof and proud, with no destination.

Then she went into a bar and drank a cup after another till she felt numb and heavy. That was not good for her, she was aware.

In a leather couch, out of reach of light and not far from Cissy, sat a man who looked very unapproachable. He constantly waggled the glass, but never took a sip. If you looked closer, you could find that his hand was grasping the glass so tight that his knuckles were pale.

His face was hidden in the dark. No one could see it. His sharp eyes kept staring at the girl who was numbing herself with alcohol.

"Hey, girl! Why are you drinking alone here?" said a long-hair wrenched man with a bottle of wine next to Cissy.

Then came four or five men, all smiling evilly.

"You have to share such a beautiful lady with us. You first. We'll wait," a man said and winked at the long-hair one, and then gave a meaningful look to the bottle in his hand.

The wine had been drugged. Ever since this lady entered, she had been drinking all alone and giving a dirty look to everyone who came to talk to her.

For these guys, such a woman should be dealt with specially.

"Get away!" Cissy tried her best to sober herself. She knew she was in a bad situation and she would suffer losses if she kept staying here. So, she got up and intended to leave.

"Of course, you can leave as long as you drink up this bottle. And I won't stop you," the man said and swung the bottle before Cissy. After he whistled to others around, they echoed his suggestion.

"OK!" Cissy fetched the bottle in the man's hand. Her eyes were sleepy from drink. Men around her were breathless.

If she was sober, Cissy could strike them down. However, she was so drunk now.

Men around her were all staring at her eagerly.

When she was about to drink it up, a long big hand grasped her and stopped her from the next movement.

Those men were so scared when they saw him. "Travon Melman?" One of them swallowed saliva and shouted uncertainly.

Fire flashed in this man's gloomy eyes. He expressionlessly scanned the men around. They trembled with fear when their eyes met his.

Cissy didn't think of getting rid of his hand but just looked at the hand that was holding her with her sleepy eyes, like a baby doll. Because of this, Travon's coldness reduced.

"You can't drink it!" Travon said to Cissy gently. He was no longer as unapproachable as he had been just now.

"But I can't leave if I don't drink." Cissy looked at this man before her faintly. Her face was scrunched up in distress.

"I will take you away." This man's voice was rich and deep with a bit of raucity, sounding safe and solid.

It may be that the man's voice was so gentle that Cissy didn't resist at all but was pulled out of the bar by him.

Cissy staggered and almost fell several times. The man was holding her carefully all along.

"Boss, how to do with those guys?" respectfully asked Bill Chaine in black.

"Make them guzzle and tie them up." Travon kept walking and his eyes never left Cissy.

The man in black had worked for Travon for a long time. He knew Travon wanted to force them to drink the drugged wine, and then tie their hands up so that they could not address their physical needs.

Only his boss could think of such a perverse way to torture them.

Cissy was very alert usually. However, this time, because of alcohol, she believed a man she didn't know and left with him.

Once they went out of the bar, Cissy moved quickly forward. Travon followed her up but was thrown up all over.

The man in black was round-eyed, waiting for his boss to get furious. Travon was a bit mysophobic. It would piss him off when someone got a little too close, not to mention throwing up all over him.

Though the jaw of the man in black had dropped when he saw his boss saved the woman and held her hand, he was sure that he would fly into a rage.

The atmosphere did change, but the man just pinched his nose and took off his suit reluctantly. He had repressed the anger with a frown.

"Water!" Bill in black who was waiting for the fury had his jaw drop again. Wasn't he mysophobic, he wondered?
