Glass

Lang Fai POV

Sunlight blinded my eyes.

"Ugh..."

I tried to turn over, but I felt someone holding me.

It was Li Wei.

"Mmm...beautiful...you awake?"

My eyes widened.

I winced in pain as I tried to get up.

No such luck. My back was tightly woven with bandages, feeling sore, and throbbing with a dull pain.

I could still feel the stinging sensation from the disinfectant he used.

Whipping my head towards Li Wei, who had now propped up a hand under his head he lay on the bed, was smirking.

"What did you do to me?!"

I hissed through my teeth.

Li Wei just shrugged, his fingers gliding across the planes of my chest to my stomach, then to my thighs.

I jumped back, slapping his hand away.

"P-please stop.."

Walking out of the room, I limped towards the bathroom, after grabbing a change of clothes.

Anywhere was better than being next to him.

Stripping off my clothes and bandages, I stepped into the hot steaming shower, wincing each time water pounded fiercely on my back.

It hurt.

I wanted to escape everything.

The world.

Him.

And myself.

Turning off the shower, I wrapped a towel around my waist, shaking water off my hair.

I then changed, looking at myself in the mirror.

I cringed at the initials that had scarred my back.

LW.

I didn't know whether to call myself hideous or disgusting.

I felt arms wrap around me.

"Beautiful...how about I make you lovely tonight. Just for me."

I felt a chill go up my spine.

"I'll take that as a yes."

He whispered into my ear, before kissing the side of my jaw.

I cringed.

I sat on a simple stool in his room.

My eyes looked empty.

I was simply his doll.

His plaything.

I stared into the hand mirror, as he dolled up my face.

He hummed gently as his smooth hands ran over my face.

"My beautiful, beautiful, lover, who is only mine."

I said nothing.

What choice did I have?

I could only follow along.

Li Wei finished, then kissed my lips softly.

I just let him.

"Lang Fai, I'm going to have to do this, so that you don't hurt yourself. I can't let people discover you."

I just nodded.

He cuffed one of my ankles to the bed.

I kept quiet.

"I'll bring you something to eat."

Once Li Wei had disappeared into the kitchen, I bent down, touching the chain, which clasped the cuff on my ankle.

Strong.

"I brought your food."

I looked up at him, seeing him holding a tray of food.

"Eat."

I did.

As I was eating, Li Wei just sat there in a chair across from me, watching.

I pushed the tray away, not wanting to eat anymore.

Li Wei then motioned for me to sit in his lap.

I did as I was told.

The chains made a loud rattling sound as I walked over to him.

I was the puppet, he was the master.

I let him toy with my hair.

"Your mine, only mine. Isn't that right?"

"Yes...Wei."

I could feel his hot breath against my neck.

He picked me up, bridal style, then lay me on the bed.

He lay next to me, fingers gliding across my face.

I've never felt as empty as I do now.

The chains rattled.

Tears ran down my face and pooled into his hands.

I am broken.
