Chapter 18
My childhood sweetheart and my older brother defied the system for me. Instead of pursuing the fake heiress who was the designated protagonist, they showered all their love and devotion on me, the real heiress.
To break off his engagement and marry me, my childhood sweetheart endured 999 electric shocks.
My brother transferred all of our parents‘ inheritance to my name and nearly got electrocuted to death for it.”
They both said, even if it cost their lives, they would give me all their love.
But during a trip abroad with me, they suddenly vanished.
I was kidnapped by a group of thugs and taken to Snake Island, where I was brutally tortured. My legs were broken and my tongue was split in two.
In the depths of despair, I overheard their conversation with the system:
[How can you let them torture the real heiress like this? She won’t survive it!]]
My childhood sweetheart’s voice was icy cold. “She enjoyed five years of love that rightfully belonged to Daisy. It’s time she repays her.”
My brother echoed his words. “Exactly! Luna has the protagonist’s halo. No matter how much she’s tortured, she won’t die. But Daisy might. Once she finishes Daisy’s storyline, we’ll compensate her double.“>
At that moment, all hope within me died.}
I no longer resisted the man lunging toward me.§
<—0
“Well, look at that! This woman suddenly had a change of heart!“}
At his exclamation, the other thugs all crowded in.
The small room was littered with torture tools stained with my blood and flesh. My legs had been completely broken and my hands were tied to the bedpost.
Eight hours ago, when the first thug tried to violate me, I bit off one of his ears.
In retaliation, they split my tongue open. The pain nearly made me pass out.”
The second thug had his groin crushed by my desperate kick.
In retaliation, they shattered both of my legs. Even so, I tried everything I could to protect myself.
Seeing how fiercely I resisted, the thugs feared I’d bite my tongue and kill myself. They stuffed a rag into my mouth and wrapped tape tightly around it.”
My mouth was filled with the metallic taste of blood, but the fierceness and desperation I once had were gone.
I was numb, like a puppet at their mercy, longing only for death.”
Just as one of them was about to violate me, the system cried out in panic. [Host! Can you really bear to let her suffer this much?]}
My brother’s voice trembled, but his words were still merciless.{
“in the original plot, Daisy was kidnapped and subjected to all kinds of torture. Luna has now taken her place up to this point. Nothing can be left out!”
The system grew anxious and turned to Gerald.}
(You’re her fiancé! Can you really just stand there and watch her be violated?]
Gerald roared, “No matter what, I’ll still marry her! Luna has the protagonist’s halo. She can handle it! But Daisy has been pampered since childhood, pure as a blank sheet of paper. Are we supposed to let these thugs destroy her innocence and drive her to death?”
Hearing their words, I felt as if a hole had been carved open in my chest, letting icy wind flood through.
No wonder they used the excuse of finding a diamond for the engagement ring to bring me to this remote and savage country.”
I had been uneasy at first, but they reassured me and said that special forces bodyguards would be accompanying us, that there’d be no danger.
It turned out that it was all planned from the beginning
The five years of affection they had shown me was all just a setup to have me die in Daisy’s place.\
The pain in my body was nothing compared to the agony in my heart.
Silent sobs wracked me as tears, mixed with blood, slid down my face.
Suddenly, a sharp, tearing pain erupted in my lower abdomen, like I was being ripped apart.§
The man on top of me let out a startled cry and quickly got up, cursing under his breath.
“Damn it! What is this?”
The others crowded around. When they saw clearly, they all gasped in unison.
“My god, she’s pregnant!”
The room fell into immediate silence. The man scowled and backed away, pulling his pants back
- on.
Then, they began speaking in a dialect I couldn’t understand. But from the expressions on their faces, I could tell that they wouldn’t be doing that to me again.
