Chapter 6. Corrin's Hard Lesson

She could see Yuliah's dumb-looking face greeting the guests. It should have been Corrin up there, not that brainless twit.

When the crowd tapered off, and no more guests approached the table, Yuliah looked lost in thought, almost hopeless. Corrin sneered. That whore only fed into her delusions of running away and walked over to say hello.

"What's with the sad face on your wedding day?" Corrin's fake caring voice startled Yuliah, who quickly lifted her head and smiled back. Corrin too was a great pretender like Liang and took hold of Yuliah's hand then squeezed them firmly, as though she cared. "Don't look so sad on your wedding day. This is a happy occasion for every woman," she faked a smile followed by a long hug.

"I'm just nervous that's all," Yuliah answered.

She lied and Corrin knew it, because she'd been observing Yuliah for a while now. It was written all over that bitch's face a combination of fear and sadness.

There was a time when they were younger and Corrin considered Yuliah, a good friend but not anymore. Not since their falling out over Liang. A friendship that turned sour after Yuliah's betrayal.

She met him first, not Yuliah, and spent weeks pouring her heart out about Liang and how meant for one another they were. Yuliah even helped to find ways she could get Liang's attention, and the the next few months they worked tirelessly to carry out those plans. Well, Corrin did all the work, because Yuliah couldn't leave Wey Manor. General Wey worried that someone would hurt his precious daughter so he kept Yuliah locked up all the time. Regardless she did everything Yuliah suggested, and finally befriended Liang. Things went well between the two of them.

Then a few days later, Corrin found Liang at Yuliah's house. At first she didn't think anything of it until she questioned Yuliah more. Yuliah laughed it off then proceeded to tell Corrin that Liang came over all the time with gifts. She stormed out of Wey Manor after that.

All these bitter memories resurfaced, and Corrin couldn't hold back the anger and resentment any longer. "Do you remember the time I told you I meet an older man, and we spent months trying to get him to notice me," She watched Yuliah lean back with that confused look on her face. It amazed her sometimes how absolutely clueless Yuliah could be.

"Yes, I do. Why are you bringing that up?"

Tonights the night, the one she'd waited for all these years. When the whore least suspect it, Corrin leaned into Yuliah, "It's Liang, the man I told you about. You knew I loved him and for months you pretended to be my friend but secretly meet up with him behind my back. Now you're even marrying him. You took away everything I wanted, just because you could. Well, guess what. I had him first, and I'll never stop," she spewed all her hatred out.

"Is that why you became a bitch towards me? Because you thought I took Liang from you?" Yuliah smugly replied in a tone that only made Corrin more angry. "I've known for a long time that you were fucking Liang. It doesn't hurt because I don't want him anymore. I was sincere in helping you, I had no idea that bastard and the man you told me about were the same," Yuliah stood up to leave, but Corrin pulled her back down.

She didn't understand why Liang or anyone made a fuss over Yuliah. To even considered that twat, one of the prettiest women in the Northern Kingdom's a bit far fetched," she snickered.

There's nothing special about Yuliah. She didn't have many friends and spent every day locked up at Wey Manor. Plus she had these amber eyes that went from light to dark depending on the time of the day like some forest witch and all that long silky hair darker than midnight - it reminded Corrin of a blood demon.

Corrin, on the other hand, with her milky white skin, golden hair, and bright appearance, became the most envious of Northern woman. She hated it when people felt the need to compare her to Yuliah as if Yuliah were a more superior woman.

"I'm not done talking to you, Yuliah! Let's have a girls talk right here." She pulled Yuliah closer. "You love girls talk, don't you? I'll tell you about my first time with your husband..." She paused. "The first time I fucked Liang, or more like he fucked me," she sounded absolutely mad now.

Yuliah's face twisted in disgust, "I don't care."

Oh, Yuliah's going to hear what she had to say, "I bribed the maids to let me into his quarters," she cocked her head at Yuliah. "After midnight, he came back to his room, drunk. I will never forget the surprised look on his face when he found me waiting for him. I laid naked on his bed for hours waiting, with my knees bent up, exposing myself to him, and he stood there dumbfounded at first," Corrin smiled. "When I dropped my legs to the side and gave him a better view. Within seconds, he sprung on the bed, like a starved dog," Corrin laughed again.

"Is that supposed to make me jealous?" Yuliah asked.

"Do you know what he said to me?" she completely ignored Yuliah's question.

"I don't care what he said to you," Yuliah pushed Corrin away.

Corrin took a handful of Yuliah's hair. "You're going to listen to me because I've waited years. Now sit!" she yanked, and Yuliah fell back onto the chair. "Liang had that twisted look on his face when he told me how much he enjoyed breaking girls in especially untouched like me."

"At first, he made me feel nice. He touched me gently," Corrin reached for a glass of wine and poured. "I thought that my first time with Liang would be like that. Beautiful, but I was so wrong. He hurt me until I begged him to stop, but he didn't stop," Corrin took a sip from the glass.

"Isn't this what you wanted? Liang gave me that smile you know the one when he felt dominance. Liang only does until he's satisfied. I cried harder when he forced himself inside of me. The pain is like nothing I've felt before and I tried to get away, but he held me there until I almost fainted. The worst part, he wasn't even finished with me yet," Corrin's eyes turned watery, but she continued. She wanted to inflict fear into Yuliah.

"He pounded into me roughly every time worse than the last until I felt nothing, but he didn't stop there. He didn't stop until he were done. Then whispered into my ear, only Yuliah gets my seed," and walked out. "I bled raw with pain by then, but I still got up, gathered my clothes, and went home."

"Why are you telling me this Corrin? Am I supposed to feel bad for you?" Yuliah's face looked as though she were about to vomit. "You two are both sickening."

"No. I don't want your sympathy, but I wanted to see your smug little face disappear, sitting there, counting down, and waiting until Liang inflicts his horrors on your cunt later. You should be scared. Very scared, you coy little bitch. Liang will not be gentle at all, and he'll tear that sweet little virgin cunt apart. I can promise you that. I couldn't walk for days," she threw her head back and laughed madly.

Corrin suddenly looked over at Liang with doe eyes and gave him a half-raised smile. When she turned back to Yuliah, the bitch's face went paler than her skin.

It made her happy to know that Yuliah would suffer tonight just like she did; in fact, she was hoping that it'd be worse. Glad that she finally stuck it to Yuliah for once. She pranced away with a spring in her steps.
