Just Once

"You— "

"No… father, listen to me. This is not true." Demi trembled under the disappointed gaze that her father gave her. "It was a complete accident. I was not r*ped… It was only the old man's words to threaten Lily. I am innocent here!"

"Demi is this true?" Her brother asked her. "Is this true?"

"No! No…" she shook her head. "No! I would never agree to an arrangement like that. I would never agree. This must have been manipulated as well!" Tears immediately streamed down her cheeks. "Please… father, you have to believe me. Brother…." She held her brother's arm. "I know you dote on me the most. You have to believe me! This is not real at all. Zhou Jingren liked me. It was with consent. He slept with me because he liked me!" Seeing the disappointment in her father's eyes immediately made her feel as if someone stabbed her in the chest.
