Uncle's Heart

The rain pattered constantly.

The temperature which was less than 5°C made the quiet street more deserted.

Aanisah Brook felt her body heavy and tired, moving forward step by step. The rain wetted her cheeks, and the thin clothes were tightly attached to her body. She looked so haggard as if her soul had been drawn away from her body.

Like a nightmare, what had happened last night replayed mechanically in her brain over and over again.

That dark room, the terrible sound...

She didn't know why she fell asleep after drinking a glass of juice, let alone why she woke up in a hotel room, but she knew exactly what had happened to her.

She... was no longer a virgin.

Aanisah's heart hurt as if it was torn.

Looking up to see the pattering rain, Aanisah took a hard breath, and kept comforting herself inwardly, "It's okay! It doesn't matter!"

When she went back home, her stepmother Bess Pinky and her sister Peggy Brook were sitting on the sofa in the living room, talking about the TV series they had watched last night. When they heard the door opened, the two of them couldn't help stopping talking and turning to look at the door.

"Ah, you are finally back?" Peggy looked at Aanisah up and down with contempt. There was undisguised mockery in her voice, "You didn't come back home last night. You must have had a HAPPY night, huh?"

Aanisah paused for a moment, but then without even looking at them, she turned and walked toward her room.

In this family, apart from her father, she didn't think anyone cared about her life or death. Even her half-sister would only laugh at her when she was embarrassed!

Therefore, she didn't care about their attitudes, let alone their views on her.

But.

How could she explain this to Johnny?

How could she tell him the fact that she was raped?

Bess pulled her daughter's sleeve, and then she stood up and walked towards Aanisah, asking in a tentative tone, "Are you okay?"

Aanisah was taken aback for a moment, then her gaze slowly turned to the woman next to her. Under her gaze, Bess escaped to one side immediately. Aanisah's heart hitched, as if she realized something, her voice hoarse and low, "It was you, wasn't it?"

"What's wrong with me?" Bess frowned, "Why are you looking at me like this? I just asked the question to care about you. Why are you treating me like this? I'm telling you, if your dad knows that you didn't come back home last night..."

"If my dad knows that you plotted to harm me, he will definitely not let you go!" Last night, Bess deliberately treated her nicely and even offered her a glass of juice. But less than an hour after she drank it, she fell asleep. When she finally woke up, it was already this morning...

"I harmed you? How did I harm you?" Bess's voice suddenly rose, "Aanisah, don't you slander me! Even if you want to wrong me, you'd better show me the evidence!"

"I was bullied. Does it count?" Aanisah suddenly yelled, tears welling up along with the grievances in her heart.

"Ah? You were... bullied?" Peggy exclaimed as if she had heard some earth-shattering anecdote, but there was a burst of joy in her heart.

Bess paused for a second, but she was not surprised. Although her voice was not as sharp as just now, she was still domineering, "You were bullied, but why am I involved?"

"Bess, you?"

"Buzz..." At this moment, Bess's phone rang. She took a glance at the phone number and then picked it up immediately. As soon as she started talking, she was unprecedentedly proud, "Hello? Isaac, were you satisfied last night?"

"Fuck your satisfaction! Bess Pinky, how dare you lie to me!" An angry roar from a middle-aged man sounded on the phone.

"Lied to you? I didn't..."

"The hell I waited at the hotel all night long! But where is the girl you promised to send to me? To see the fucking ghost?"

Bess couldn't help turning her head to look at Aanisah, and said, "You... didn't see her?" Then who bullied her?

"Stop talking nonsense! Listen to me, you have three days to either bring me her or money. Otherwise, I'll get you fucked up!" After speaking, the man hung up angrily.

Listening to the beep sound on the phone, Bess felt depressed.

"Where the hell did you go last night?" Bess rushed into Aanisah's room and stared at her fiercely. She had thought that after the incident, she could not only clean the path for her own daughter, but also trade Aanisah for money. But now, not to mention the money, she even made things worse, which almost pissed her off!

"Aren't you aware of that?" By this time, Aanisah had probably figured out the ins and outs of the incident. It was merciful for her not to call the police, but this woman dared confront and question her?

Given the situation, Bess had nothing to hide.

"Aanisah, I don't care either where you went, or which savage man you played with. Now, hurry up and dress yourself up. Then go to the Royal Hotel Room 803 to apologize to Mr. Smith, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" Aanisah stood up suddenly, her eyes reddening but there was no tear. She stared fiercely at her stepmother who was always domineering while her father was away, shaking with hate, "Bess Pinky, don't force me to call the police!"

She had thought about calling the police when she came out of the hotel, but what would happen afterwards?

The police arrested Bess and found the man who had ruined her virginity before disappeared, then... what about herself?

When the scandal was exposed, how about her dignity?

How could she go to school?

How... could she continue her love with Johnny?

Seeing her stubborn look, Bess didn't want to mess things up as well. After all, although Ivan Brook went well with her, he was still Aanisah's biological father, not to mention calling the police for his daughter?

But she didn't want to spend the rest of her life in prison.

"Fine! It's okay if you don't want to go." Bess looked defeated, "but you have to compensate him for his mental loss, that is, 500,000!"

"500,000?" Aanisah was horrified, "Bess, why don't you..."

"Mom, Johnny is here..." Just when Bess was about to say something, Peggy's voice came from behind. Bess glanced at Aanisah in disgust, then turned and walked out.

Hearing this name, Aanisah's body trembled slightly, and her brain buzzed blankly.

"Jo... Johnny?" Aanisah stood up and tried to make herself behave more naturally, but she couldn't even fake the most perfunctory smile, "Why... are you here?"

Her fingers tightly pinched the palm of her hand, and the blood slowly spilled out while she didn't even realize. Her pale face was full of expectation and anxiety, and her heart was tightly taut as if it was already in her mouth.

Johnny Wood glanced at her from head to toe but didn't say a word. Instead, he turned to look at the girl next to him, "Peggy, go change your clothes. We should go now."

"Peggy?" Aanisah was surprised, her face paler, "Johnny, what do you mean?"

Johnny stopped and glanced at Aanisah with a cold face, frowning slightly, "Are you asking me?"

With her heart fallen, Aanisah shook her head, "I don't understand!"

"Heh!" Johnny sneered, "Do you need me to say it out about what you have done last night? Aanisah Brook, if you don't want me to know what you have done, then you shouldn't have done that. I didn't expect you to be such a slut... it's disgusting!"

"You?" Aanisah's face was pale. Her hands trembled slightly, and her heart was in pain as if it was sliced into pieces, "How did you know?"

"Should I be kept in the dark?" Johnny looked at her in disgust, "But... it doesn't matter! Anyway, you are not the one I like, and I don't care if you are raped by others or not. So, there is no need for you to show such self-blame or guilt. In fact, I think you should celebrate, celebrate that there is someone who is finally willing to take away the hymen you have maintained for 20 years!"

"Johnny Wood, you bastard!" Aanisah finally couldn't help but explode and slap his face. "Clap", everyone in the living room was stunned.

"Aanisah Brook, are you a shrew?" After changing clothes, Peggy quickly ran downstairs, "You are just a torn shoe that has been destroyed! What makes you think you are qualified to scold others here? I warn you, from now on, this man is mine. You have no right and you are not qualified to judge him, otherwise, I won't make it easy for you! Johnny, let's go..."

"Johnny Wood!"

"Aanisah Brook!" Johnny suddenly turned to look at her, "I don't think I need to hide it from you anymore." He paused, then continued, "I will be engaged to Peggy soon, and I don't care if you will bless us, but I hope... you'd better behave yourself, otherwise... I have at least a hundred ways to torture you and you would wish you'd better die at that time!"

"Heh, really?" Aanisah suddenly sneered, "I'd like to have a try!"

"Fine!" Johnny twitched the corners of his lips coldly, his voice full of mockery, "Aanisah, don't blame me for not considering our affections before!"

"Heh, affections?" Aanisah sneered, looking at him with coldness in her eyes, "Since Master Wood said that we had affections once, then I must be there and wish you happy. A bitch and a dog, what a perfect match!"

"You?"

"Aanisah Brook, watch your mouth. Who do you think is the bitch and who is the dog?" Peggy rushed to Aanisah angrily but was held by Johnny, "Let's go. Don't let her get to us!"

Seeing them holding hands and leaving, Aanisah finally realized that her whole body was shaking with anger.

After seeing her daughter and future son-in-law off with a smug look, Bess glanced at Aanisah with contempt, and said in a weird manner, "They are the perfect match, while you... huh!" She looked up and down on Aanisah's messy body and said coldly, "Mr. Smith is still waiting for you. If you don't want to die too miserably, go ahead and apologize to him immediately. Otherwise..."

"You are free to go there on your own!" Aanisah glared at her fiercely, and then slammed the door of her room.

She was sleepless all night.

The next day, Aanisah went to school early. When she stepped into the classroom, the head teacher was stunned, "Aanisah? Didn't you drop out of school? Why are you here?"

"Drop out of school?" Aanisah was shocked.

"Your mother went through all the paperwork for you yesterday, and even packed away all your staff. Don't you know that?"

"..." Aanisah's mind went blank, so she didn't even hear what the head teacher said later.

Coming out of the classroom, she rushed to her dormitory as if she was crazy. There... she found her bed was empty, and none of her staff was left there.

And she... was just tossed out by her school like this?

Thinking of her evil stepmother, Aanisah couldn't bear this anymore and pick up her phone immediately, dialing her phone and then shouting, "Bess Pinky, what on earth do you want to do?"

"Don't you know exactly what I want to do?" Bess's extremely indifferent voice came from the phone, "This family can no longer afford the tuition for you! Unless... you go to confess your mistake with Mr. Smith, otherwise, I will tell the school about your being bullied, so that your teachers, classmates, and friends will all know about the dirty things you did!"

"Don't you dare!"

"Watch me!" Bess hung up the phone.

Listening to the beep sound on the phone, Aanisah fell to the cold ground, her heart aching like being torn.
