Forced by fate – Destined to be his Wife

“What are you doing?” Rong barked at her, sliding her body with him as he dragged her out of the car and dumped her at his feet in a careless manner. TangShi crumbling like an empty sack. Not able to keep a grip with the way he had to crawl backwards out of the car.

“HELP…SOMEONE HELP, I’VE BEEN KIDNAPPED. HELP ME!!” TangShi screamed at the top of her voice, hurting her throat in the process, aiming at the car’s open door knowing she left the call connected to emergency services and praying they would have some way to track the cellphone. That if they could hear her then they would have some procedure in place to find them.

Rong’s eyes followed her line of vision, confused with her erratic behavior once more, peering inside the car and spotted the illuminated cell on the floor. Rong lost his temper in instant fury, betrayed that this bitch would try and call for help and slapped TangShi hard across the face to shut her up. Hitting her with unconcealed rage, so hard it stung his hand and sent her head reeling around and her body followed. She was stunned by the stinging, burning contact, knocked sideways so she sprawled across the dirty floor and Rong dived into the car to retrieve the phone, muttering curse words. He grabbed the cellphone, squeezing it with anger, ending the call and threw it out onto the concrete before following and stamping all over it. Smashing it into a million pieces and turning on her with gritted tooth accusation.

“What the fuck are you doing?” he snarled.

TangShi, pulled herself up, winded and in pain but refusing to fall down and give up, even if her cheek and jaw was throbbing and her eyes were watering. Cupping her face to soothe the stinging agony of how hard he hit her.

“They’re coming. The police, YuZhi…. ZhengLi…. You are in so much trouble. They will be here soon enough and you’re screwed.” TangShi’s bitter venom spewed out through a new wave of tears caused by his assault, A biting tone and smug impression in hopes of convincing him that this was over for him even if she never got to talk to the operator. Hoping he would flee and let them go.

“You don’t even know where we are. How could they find us? You stupid, stupid girl. I tried to be patient, I tried to be understanding but you really don’t know how to appreciate someone’s adoration. You don’t deserve my love and care.” Rong marched back to her and grabbed her by the hair, sinking his fingers into her scalp to get a full handful as she squealed and twisted to get free. Dragging her with him across the debris of the floor and not caring anymore about preserving his angel’s body and soul. She had truly pushed him to the edge of his love for her and ruined everything. TangShi clung to his wrist as her hair roots were yanked taut, a new kind of agonizing pain that worked to control her.

“Stop it. Let her go. Stop hurting her. You want to fight, then untie me and see how far you get with me. She’s no match but I sure as hell will be, you fucking bully!” Linlin’s weak and pleading voice pulled TangShi out of her own despair as she fought to get unlatched and she managed to turn to see her as she was dragged away from the car. Her hands, knees and limbs scraped and filthy from the dirty surfaces.

Linlin’s head was lifted, her eyes red and puffy, but fully focused and she seemed to have some color in the high points of her cheekbones now, much more alert than before. There was an undeniable fire of fury in her expression and she was hunched forward as though trying to free her wrists behind her.

“Be quiet. Don’t rile him.” TangShi lifted her fingers to her mouth to make a ‘shhh’ motion, shaking her head to warn Linlin to be silent. Sure if he could slap TangShi, he would do worse to Linlin.

“He’s a coward and a lunatic. A man who hurts women and has to drug them to feel loved? What even is that? Major insecurity issues from a gutless prick. How pathetic are you? You’re a sad excuse of a human and probably suffer from micro penis syndrome. It’s pretty obvious from the psycho clingy issues you carry around that you weren’t hugged enough as a kid. You’re not a man, you’re a loser. No wonder YuZhi can walk all over you without trying. He’s worth a hundred of you even on a bad day.” Linlin was in full verbal roll. Tossing out hatred and venom the best she could in her sassiest tone to pull him away from hurting her friend anymore. Scared for her, scared he would take her and disappear and harm the baby in her body. She didn’t care if he hurt her as long as she gave TangShi a chance to run again.

“Shut the fuck up.” Rong snarled her way, hating this tiny nuisance who had ruined his clean plan and getaway. If it weren’t for her, then they would be on the road to a new life already.

“Make me. You’re scum of the earth and couldn’t even take me on without using drugs on me. Are you really that little of a man that even a four-foot woman is a scary match? You’re a joke. No wonder TangShi is disgusted by you.” Linlin began laughing at him loudly, manically, making a real show of it in a dramatic manner and throwing her head back. As though she really was amused with how pathetic he was and TangShi pleaded with her eyes to stop. Afraid as she could sense his growing anger like a black cloud around him and his grip on her hair tightened.

“I will come over there and fuck you up worse. Don’t push me. Shut that stupid mouth if you know what’s good for you.” He growled, body poised and aggressive and hostility beginning to ooze.

“Do it… do you really think I’m scared of you? TangShi hates you. She despises you and loathes the very air you breath. Delude yourself all you want but if you take her you will spend a lifetime trying to keep her by your side. She’ll run at any opportunity and her hatred for you will grow with every second you force her to be with you. She loves YuZhi and will never stop wanting him no matter what you do!” Linlin was wavering, her voice trembling with the effort but she wanted his focus on her and away from TangShi.

Rong was not one for criticisms and his anger and fury pulsated through his body. Clouding his judgement and riling the irrational that was a constant dialogue in his unsettled mind. Releasing his hold on TangShi as he marched towards Linlin with deathly intent because his temper could only be held for so long.

“Shut the fuck up. Shut up. Just fucking SHUT UP, you stupid fucking little wore. You little bitch. I’ll make you regret every word you said.” He snapped, full on hostility on show and Linlin kept still and stood her ground. Lifting her chin higher and smirked at him.

TangShi saw what Linlin was doing as he left her alone, discarded on the floor to her own devices and forgotten for the time being. She shot a glance around her, looking for her weapon of before or something similar to protect Linlin. Spying it lying a few feet away and slowly and surely got up and crawled towards it without making a sound. Swallowing down nausea and shaking so badly she couldn’t use her limbs properly but she knew she couldn’t attract his attention.

“What a big man you are. Beating on women. Threatening them. You make me sick. My boyfriend has more masculinity in his discarded socks than you have in your entire genetic makeup. He could dela with you while blindfolded and both hands behind his back. He’s a real man, not a sad pretender.” Linlin sneered at him, drawing him closer and smiled as though he was comical.

Rong flipped out at her scathing and belittling remarks. Hating her poison arrow words and smug and stupid way she kept laughing at him, mocking him, twisting his mood into something dark and volatile. Rong took a running kick right at Linlin’s stomach. Delivering a brutal blow of intent to shut the bitch up that winded her, made her cough and gasp on impact and shudder backwards, while tears instantly hit her eyes as she struggled to breathe. For a girl who had never been physically assaulted before it was utter agony and a shock to the system and she reacted like she had been hit with an almighty explosion. Unable to talk for a minute as she struggled to recover.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

TangShi dashed forward for the metal bar, catching what he did out of the corner of her eye and overwhelmed with a fierce sense of outrage. Her blood boiling over and her fear and nerves disintegrating as sisterly rage took its place. She clutched it up, wrapped both hands around it, jumped to her feet and ran at him from behind, brandishing it high and mighty and swung it right for the back of his skull. Using every ounce of strength she had and pulling herself as tall as she could.

The connecting thud hit low down on the back of his head; a mighty crack and shuddering vibration ran through the bar, hurting TangShi’s palms, wrist and forearms with the reverberations. TangShi stopped dead, poised, and for a second she didn’t think it had any impact on him as he stood still. Nothing happening and the world seemed to fall eerily quiet.

Rong stared at Linlin for a long, paused moment, as she lifted her chin and made eye contact while struggling to breath and watched as his eyes glazed over and roll back into his head. His body crumbling from solid and poised to seemingly a fluid thing and he collapsed into a heap on the floor, crumbling away. His collapse revealed TangShi standing with a bar over her head, heaving in air with rapid breaths and a traumatized, scared shitless, expression on her face.

It took them both a second to realize he was rendered completely unconscious and to pull their heads together before they lost this opportunity. A sense of relief lightening both of their heavy chest weights.

“Untie me…no, wait. Tie him up. He has those cable tie things… look” Linlin nodded at the white cords sliding out of his inside pocket and peeking at her from this angle. He looked dead the way his body was awkwardly positioned but she could still see the movement of his chest to show he was breathing. “In movies they always leave the bad guy and run and he always gets up and comes after them. We have to tie him up.” Linlin rambled as her own hysteria rose, still crunched forward because of stomach pains from his assault. A sense of urgency growing inside of her.

TangShi dropped the bar, moving to auto pilot and seemingly in shock and jumped over him, pulling the cables from his coat and slid one out from the pile. She had never used one before but it seemed straightforward and she quickly figured out how to slot one end in the other and pull tight.

Pulling his legs together first and securing his ankles together with one with a great deal of awkwardness. She had to push his body over, struggle with his weight, and haul him around to get his hands together behind his back the way he had done with Linlin and secured then there too. The whole time her heart racing and stomach churning with fear in case he woke up and attacked her.

“I think….. that’s done, right?” She looked up at Linlin for confirmation, her nerves so frayed she couldn’t think straight, tugging the ties to make sure they were secure. Linlin nodded.
