In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 128

"No way!"

I interrupt her.

"I haven’t finished. Why you interrupted me so hastily?" Mindy says.

"I know what you are going to say. You want to say that Frances Louis likes me. But that’s impossible. I can’t compare with his wife, and he is mean to me, he treats me as if I am just a sex doll. The reason why he behaves in such a perverse way simply because he is too possessive. So, he would rather like a pig than me."

My words make Mindy laugh.

"Only you would compare yourself with a pig."

"Even pigs have a better life than I do. They have nothing to worry about, their lives are all about eating and sleeping." I purse my lips.

Thinking about my recent life, I feel it's been terrible since I got married. Sometimes I really don't want to think nothing, just be a simple inferior creature.

"Forget it. Do you know how many people admire the life of a ‘canary’ these days? A canary is kept in a ‘cage’, eating delicious food and buying things as they wanted. They don't have to go to work, and all they think about is how to make themselves more beautiful every day. Frances Louis hasn’t forced you to pay the money back now. How can you not know to enjoy your life?"

"Every one has his or her own will. I don't want to depend on him for a living. When I have earned enough, I will leave Frances Louis as fast as possible." I say firmly.

God knows how much I want to get away from my present life.

"If you hate him so much, I'll help you pay the debt. After all, David has money." Mindy says.

I shake my head and say, "It's not a small number. How can I ask you for money? Besides, it's not your money. It's David Gibbs'."

I leave the pressure of my debt behind, I say to Mindy, "Never mind. Let’s talk about something else. I am wondering how am I going to get out of this room. This lunatic, Frances Louis, has locked me in my room."

"Jump through the window. It's only the second floor. You won't die if you jump down."

"Yes, I won’t die. But I’ll become disabled."

As long as I thought about the scene that Andrew Malan and Susan Felton were thrown down so many times, my heart is still fluttering with fear.

"Just sleep in your room. Frances Louis will let you out anyway. I've got some business to do. I am leaving. That's all. Bye."

"How could you know he will…"

Mindy hangs me up. I put the phone aside and lie in bed blankly.

I sleep until noon. When I wake up, I feel a little hungry. Remembering there are many snacks in the room, I take out some and begin to eat.

Yogurt with biscuit, it tastes good.

Suddenly, I am startled by the sound of a knock on the door. A mouthful of yogurt chokes me and I cough desperately.

"Open the door."

It’s Frances Louis.

I locked the door from the inside because I couldn't get out. In case Frances Louis would swoop in while I am eating. Unexpectedly, I still got choked.

It takes me a long time to recover from it.

"Time to have lunch."

Frances Louis says in a low voice.

"No, just starve me to death!"

I say and have a big bite of the bread.

This man is so unreasonable. He punished me before and now he comes to please me.

I won’t yield to such a moody guy!

"Don’t be silly. Open the door." Frances Louis speaks again in a lower voice than before.

According to his temperament, I guess if I didn't open the door this time, he'd just break in. I don't want such a nice door to be broken.

After hiding the snacks, I go to the door and open it.

"What are you doing in the room?" Frances Louis asks me suspiciously.

"Confinement. Didn't you ask me to reflect myself?" I purse my lips and say coldly.

The man chuckles and gently wipes my lips, "What is this on your lips?"
