Then Comes Spring When Winter Ends - Chapter 97 Will You Marry Me?
*mature content ahead
Crystal was shocked to read the article April mentioned. If what April said is true, then the Lu and the Lee might not have anything to do with Tom disappearance and death. Plus, come to think of it, it is a little fishy on how he could leave easily unless it was an inside job! Even though she had connected the dots but she still find it difficult to believe.
April saw the changed of emotions in Crystal’s face but she kept quiet, she did not want to taunt the woman, this woman is not stable and Is highly unpredictable, it is better to not provoke her.
Crystal then regained her senses, she screamed for the two men to enter. April was bewildered. “You promised!” April shouted.
“So what if you guys are not involved with Tom disappearance, you still need to pay for what Adam did! Thanks to your heads up, I would not live stream the video but I will post it online later, I still have a duty to destroy your family,” Crystal laughed bitterly and left as the two men entered.
Crystal wanted to leave fast because she needed to investigate Tom’s matter urgently. Her people were all Heather’s people, they wouldn’t act brazen unless it was Heather’s order. Could it be that Heather was the one behind Tom’s attack? She really did not want to believe her hypothesis. Why would Heather do such thing? She tried to find for clues to suggest Heather is the culprit and the reason behind but she could not think of any.
April on the other hand, was struggling hard against the rope binding her feet and hands, they were cutting through her skin from all her struggling. The two men had started their job, one was fondling her breast while the other was jabbing his large finger into her vagina. It was so painful but she stopped herself from screaming because that would fueled them even more. Tears were flowing down her cheek. Sorry Adam, sorry, I couldn’t protect myself. One of the men, pried open her mouth and forced his dick into her mouth. She bit him hard out of anger. He retaliated by slapping her hard across the cheek.
“Bitch! Slut! How dare you bite me! You should be grateful I let you have a glimpse of heaven!! He slapped her a few more times till her face were bruised and swollen. April kept quiet and did not let out a sound but her tears kept flowing.
“Damn woman! Don’t act innocent, just enjoy the act, goddammit, why are you so dry??! Who the fuck cares, your pussy is tight, I am just gonna enjoy it despite your resistance!” The other guy screamed lewdly as he rammed his rod into her. April hissed in pain!
Crystal did not forget to send the live video stream to Adam. The group of four who were rushing to the said location was shocked by Adam’s sudden cry of agony. He dropped the phone he was holding to the ground and buried his face in his hands and screamed in total anguish, “April!!!! GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM HER!!!” Jade who was first to recover from Adam’s sudden outburst picked up Adam’s phone and was shocked to see the image on the screen. She quickly shut the screen off to stop Derek and Chris from looking as she wanted to preserve April’s last shred of dignity or whatever is left. She called Kwi Shan to track the IP address and the location. Kwi Shan confirmed the location they were heading to was the right one.
Jade just whispered to explain the situation to Derek and Chris. They hurried their pace and requested for back up as well. Derek asked Kwi Shan to send Tom’s video to the sender of the live feed. Adam was angry, very angry, it was his fault April got tangled into this mess. It was supposed to be their happy day instead April is being tortured and he could only watch helplessly. His heart felt like it was ripped apart.
April could not feel any pain any longer, she was sore all over, she wanted to pass out from the humiliation and the pain she is feeling. The two men were merciless, even her anus wasn’t spared. Not an inched of her body was spared. They even whipped her up to get themselves high. Sorry Adam, I really don’t want to live anymore. Best I die and I really hope you can find happiness when I’m gone. I love you but I can’t face you. I never felt so dirty in my life. I don’t think I can stand beside you.
Crystal reappeared to tell her that she actually sent live feeds to Adam to watch. “I wonder if he still want to come and save you after watching.” Crystal said after letting out a long laugh. “Pity you have to pay for his crimes, I want to see if he is a bastard, if he is going to abandon you.” she continue to speak. Suddenly, she received a video message from an unknown sender. It was a video of Tom confirming Heather was the one behind his attack.
“No, no, no! It can’t be true!!!” she screamed as she pulled on her hair.
” Hahaha. Retribution is great! At least, I have people who truly care and loves me! I don’t have people who act like they care but behind my back they do things that hurt me! Adam will come for me because he loves me!! YOU HAVE NOTHING BECAUSE YOU ARE A TRASH WHO IS ENVIOUS OF PEOPLE’S HAPPINESS.” April could not help but taunt Crystal. She felt she had nothing to lose. What else could happen to her? She didn’t even want to live anymore. A voice of reason suddenly spoke up, April, you must not give up! You have people who truly care. You can overcome this, you’ve been through worse.
A huge blast is heard, alarms ringing, Crystal did not have time to process April words before her instinct kicked in and told her to escape! Shit! I have been careless and cocky. My location has been compromised. She darted out through a secret escape tunnel. April’s heart was beating frantically, what if its Adam? Would he be disgusted? She really could not face him!
Her vision started to blur, the pain was overwhelming and she could not hang on anymore. A figure dashed in, a familiar voice screamed her name. She felt the ropes that bound her were cut through and she is finally free. She went limp in his arms. The arms that she missed so much. He undressed himself and covered her bruised and naked body with his clothes.
His heart winced in pain seeing her in this state. He gently kissed her forehead and his tears wet her face. “I am sorry I am late, I am sorry you had to go through all this pain. I will never leave you, not in this lifetime and any other lifetimes. I love you, April Lu. It is selfish of me to request this of you but I am begging you to be strong, if you don’t have the strength, I’ll lend you mine. Just don’t leave me!! April, please.. Stay awake. I want you to be my wife, I don’t care about anything else and I don’t want anyone else. I know what is going through that convoluted head of yours. I am yours and you are mine. We can make it through this trial.” His tears continue to pour down on her.
” Silly man. Why does it seem like you are the battered one? Stop crying like it is someone’s funeral. I heard you loud and clear Adam Ho. Take me away from here and remember your promise, alright?” April spoke with every last ounce of her strength.
“Chris, Jade and Derek are just outside the room, I forbade them to see you like this. We love you, don’t shy away from us, okay? We are your family. I am going to marry you regardless of anything okay, I won’t forget my promises to you and don’t you forget yours to me. I know this seem inappropriate but I still want you to wear this ring. I have been carrying it around to what seems like eternity. I don’t want to hold on to it any longer, it belongs to you and only you. I love you, April Lu” He said as he slide the ring onto her ring finger.
She did not know if she should cry because of the pain or because of the joy she felt in her heart. It truly is not an appropriate timing yet so timely. She knows he genuinely care and love her. To still want her even in this state, if this is not love then what is? She is glad her family is around for her. Being in pain is not so bad afterall if your are not alone. She just nod her head before darkness engulfed her.
