Chapter 2 The Child

The world turned black before her eyes as Jasmine was shoved into a car, curling up trembling and hopeless in the corner.

She couldn't donate a kidney; she would die.

And she couldn't die yet.

"Jasmine, how was prison life for the past five years?" Daniel asked, peering at her shrunken figure in the corner, a far cry from the proud woman she once was. He felt a complicated emotion deep within.

"Have you gone mute?" Daniel asked with disgust while pinching her chin. The fresh,

"Fine..." Jasmine's voice trembled, filled with as much hatred as despair.

On the day of her release, another inmate who had been bullying her incessantly finally broke down and revealed the truth-she had been paid by Daniel's men to 'look after' Jasmine during those five years.

Daniel's Adam's apple bobbed as he looked at the wounds on Jasmine's face and then pushed her away in repulsion.

She had stopped loving him a long time ago.
