Chapter 257. The Diary
Zhang Yang unhooked the leather bound diary and opened it.
"Smaug, my one true love. When I heard about your passing, I was left alone, heartbroken. I wanted to end my life. I want to be with you! Please forgive me, my love! I’m still carrying your child. Until he grows up to be a fine man like you, I shall take my leave and meet you!"
On the very first page of the diary, Zhang Yang could already feel the unrequited love between a wife and her husband. How could a woman like her be a shameless whore?!
Zhang Yang flipped over and read more. The next six pages were of Liya lamenting of a husband who she clearly loved. But at the seventh page, the contents had changed.
"Smaug! Please forgive me! I’ve been tainted! I’ve been soiled! I have no right to be your love! The town chief, Aiden has violated me! My love! I want to die right now! But…I cannot take my life just yet. The child inside me is still growing…I cannot allow myself to die! I will endure this hardship! I will give birth to your child!"
Zhang Yang could feel the pain and despair through the writing. The words were written rather heavily. The quill had almost torn through the paper. Zhang Yang graced his fingers across the pages and could feel the agonizing pain of living, and the despair in her bravery to fight off death.
"The people…everyone stares at me with such judgment, such hatred! It’s too late, but now I know that they were insulting me for seducing Aiden, that monster! They are calling me a shameless whore! Smaug, my love. I…I…I can’t endure this any longer!"
"Kingsley…Owen…Kerry…they came barging in. They raped me. One by one, I was violated! When tear flow down my cheeks, they were only laughing! Smaug, I am destined for hell! But, before I knock on the gates of hell, I shall give birth to our child!"
"…Lady Velma from the bakery has dismissed me from work. No one in town is willing to hire me anymore! Oh…Smaug. How I wish to hear your sweet voice once more! Please…I will endure this…I will survive until our child comes to this world!’
