After my country had been destroyed by Qin Qiao. He brings me to an unknown place. When I open my eyes, a beautiful woman forces me to swallow some tiny red pills. At that time, I cannot process it all because she wakes me up and gives me pills that then makes me swallow a bowl of fragrance water.

"Actually, just a pill is enough to make you want him because the effect is strong but since Prince never gives this pill to anyone before, I think you must be special for him that's why I give you more." She said.

What's that? Why does my body become numb and hot like this? Like there is fire inside me since those pills slide in my throat. The fire is starting to burn me from inside when a bodyguard brings me into a chamber. He puts me over the bed. My vision becomes unclear.

"What's that?!" I shouted because my skin became so itchy and a tingling sensation attacked me at once and they didn't seem to care to give me the answer. I am worried because I just want to take away every single fabric in my body but my consciousness holds me to do something like that.

"Why? You want to hold yourself?" She smirked. "Let's see how long you can endure the effect. Oh yeah...Prince told me that there is someone who will take care of you." That woman said with a wicked smile framed on her face.

"Don't you dare!"

She slaps my face but this time her slap becomes a weird sensation in my body. I want somebody to touch me. The fire inside me spread all over my body. Sweat makes my body become wet. I am so scared because of my body reaction. I am so nervous but I don't have so much energy to budge.

"Why? You don't have any right here!"

"No." I moan loudly. "What you have..." I take a deep breath "...done."

"Can you see?" She is mocking me. "You will never be freed from it until your body is satisfied. Guards, bring him now!" She ordered.

I see two guards bring an old man in front of us. He is struggling and trying to break free but the guards are too strong for the old man like him. He looks more terrible than me. Why do they treat an old man like that? His clothes are full of blood. That evil woman forces him to swallow the same red pill while the guards still hold him tight then hits him until he falls backward.

"Prince said before you die, he will give this woman to you." She said. "You have to be grateful to him!"

What?!

"Qin Qiao! I will kill him for sure!" He shouted but the guards kicked him.

She waves her hands then the guard brings him to come closer then the maids leave this chamber. I can do nothing when the evil woman grabs his palm and puts on my bosom. The fervent fire makes my body jolted. I am shocked because no one ever touched my body like that before.

"Princess, you looked so different. I never thought a honored princess would become like this. Princess since this is your wedding night, you will make this ugly man satisfied until he dies in pleasure of heaven that you'll give."

She drives his palm on my body even though he looks so ashamed.

"Put him over her body!"

The guards arrange his body on top of mine. His blood is smearing my clothes. I feel his body so cold like ice. I think he will die soon. Qin Qiao really makes me nauseated.

"Leave them alone! Guards don't let them get out of this chamber! I will kill you if they can get out of this chamber!"

The guards become scared. They don't have the courage to look at us. This is really embarrassing and totally humiliating for both of us. They leave me with this old man. I don't understand anything except that my husband died. I am a widow now. My wedding night had ruined. I close my eyes because the fire inside seems to want to make my body become hotter when our skin rubs unintentionally. I don't dare to see his old face full of blood.

"I will bring you out from here before they kill us." He said hurriedly.

His voice makes me look at his face and I am shocked when I see Xue Chen.

"My husband, you come here?" I cupped his face. Xue Chen looks so startled. His black long hair unraveled.

"You have to be sober." Xue Chen said with his weak voice. "I am not him."

Xue Chen looks at me. He wears shoddy clothes. His smell is like animals. What's going on with him? Actually I don't care as long as he comes back to me. His face looks so worried. He tries to stand up. He grabs a black fabric to cover my body. He does not touch me even though I want him to touch me because every time the fabric rubs my skin, I feel like fire burning me. Oh Sky, I need him now but my brain said that I have to keep sober. We have to get out from this place soon.

"Xue Chen, Are you alright?" I asked when see his blood flowing.

"Sshhhhh." He puts his index finger on my lips. I understand what he wants.

I have to keep sober. I don't want to surrender. Even the fire wants burning me inside but still my priority is our safety first. Xue Chen is still alive, that's more than enough.

"Alright. Don't make noise, please." He whispered near my left ear.

"I...understand." I answered him. My head was dizzy. They must give me something evil before leaving me alone in this chamber. "Xue Chen, I cannot move, please help me."

He helps me to sit but his touch just make the fire torture me more. I want him more to touch me. I have to remember. My priority is to escape from this place. I arrange the black fabric to cover my body properly while Xue Chen's face becomes an old man then changes again into Xue Chen. I blink my eyes to make sure that he is really Xue Chen. I grab his hand. He looks so startled. Why is his skin so different? His skin feels like wrinkles but when I see his hand looks so normal. His voice becomes hoarse.

Xue Chen's unraveling black long hair looked so messy. I think Xue Chen must have a hard time before he can come here.

"Come on! We have to go before it's too late!" Xue Chen said.

I try to stand up but my leg becomes weak until Xue Chen supports me and puts me on his back. His back is so cold. I don't care about the bad smell on his body. I am here with Xue Chen more than enough.

"I am sorry if my smell...uhm...disturbing you." He said.

"It's alright as long as with you." My breath becomes heavy as my body becomes weak. I feel so afraid right now but what should I do?
