The Typhoon's Dangerous Wife

The sky was covered with a blanket of gloominess, despair, and misery. The thunder and lightning were piercing something inside her, but it was the screams of help and desperation of the little girl which was piercing her heart into two. 

Zhenyi shouldn't have run from the place. It was a stupid, dumb, and crazy decision and an even worse option. No matter where she would run, they would be there. They would catch her, and it was final.

"Leave me!" The little girl was sobbing yet trying very hard to be brave, even in such a situation where she knew that she would be held hostage by them now. 

"Little girl, do you think that we will spend three days looking for you in every corner of the jungle just to leave you?" One of the many bad guys sneered looking at the young Zhenyi. 

"My father will punish all of you. You all are bad guys and he would punish all of you." 

They just laughed at her as if she had just cracked a very funny joke.

And then there was another Zhenyi, who was right now nothing but a puppet on a string, some unknown force master of her fate. 

For the first time in life, she had accepted the defeat. She knew that she couldn't do anything. And blankly, she just kept on watching the scene unfolding before her eyes.

  Nothing that she could do to alter her fate. Nothing she could do to rewrite her past. Nothing that she could do to change anything at all. 

Her mother was dead. The little sister that didn't even get to take a breath in this world had left too. Her reason for living was gone. 

Then, why on this damm earth was she alive? Why couldn't she die with them too? 

They took her away as Zhenhi had predicted. Fate was playing a song of chaos and destruction, and she was dancing to its tunes. And she was the most familiar with it. 

Her feet walked as if they had their own brain and followed the men who had captured young Zhenyi. She didn't know why she followed them, but she just did. Wasn't it what God was wanting? Didn't He want her to watch it with her eyes and suffer all over again? 

They locked her in a dark basement and Zhenyi was there watching and remembering everything with her eyes. 

Days changed to weeks. Weeks changed to months. Months changed to years. 

Nothing changed for more than a year except the young girl. She was no more that scared little girl anymore. She was not living in self-pity. She had grown a heart of a tigress. She was not afraid of them, even if they were to kill her now. She just didn't care at all. 

But one day, things changed and two people met, intertwining their fates forever. 

After what seemed like an eternity, the hope she had lost came back to her little by little. 

The door to the dark basement opened that day, startling Zhenyi. It just opened twice a day just to send her the food and except for this, they never opened the door in fears that she would run from there which she definitely would once she was given the chance, and all along she had been looking for that precise moment that had still to come to her. 

"Get in, you boy!" The man who was responsible for keeping an eye on Zhenyi pushed another figure inside the room. 

The boy who was pushed inside fell on the ground, scraping his knees. 

Zhenyi saw that they had caught another figure along with her younger self, but he was not chained like the young Zhenyi. Probably because the boy was too weak to try to run from here. 

A look at him and she knew the weak boy was not actually a little boy but a malnourished teenager and she didn't know why but it was breaking her heart. 

The young Zhenyi saw that the boy didn't turn back and slowly uplifted his lanky and bony body and walked ahead. He didn't look here and there and sat on the dirty mattress on the floor as if he didn't mind the dirt inside the basement.

A week. He didn't utter a word for a week and whenever he would look towards young Zhenyi, she would just smile at him as if she was not chained and held captive in a filthy and scary basement by some bad men for God knows whichever reasons, but he never reciprocated her gesture at all. 

"Who brought it here?" The men barked at the kids inside the room as his eyes spotted broken shards of glasses. "I said who the f.u.c.k carried it inside?" 

Zhenyi was standing far from where the scene was occurring. She saw a change in the young girl's eyes. Did she bring it here? If she did, but how? She was never allowed to leave the room.

The young girl looked at the man, her gaze carried defiance and fire. Those mismatched eyes of hers were burning as hot as the lava. The man who was interrogating the kids glanced at the girl. He slapped her across her weak face but she just sneered at her as if the man didn't even deserve her attention. 

He slapped her with such force that her lip started bleeding but she didn't even hiss in pain. It was a regular affair for them. 

"You little bitch!" He cursed her and gripped her hair tightly. "Did you even imagine how I would punish you when you dared to imagine leaving this place?" 

The young girl looked at her in amusement. "No, bastard. I was too busy imagining how my father will torture you to death when he will get his hands on you that I didn't even have the time to imagine about the punishment that you dumbheads would inflict on me." 

The little girl seemed to have picked a few of their curses and didn't even back down using them. 

Zhenyi's eyes widened as she heard her younger self talking back to her captors? When did she change so much from a pampered little girl to a tigress? 

The bony boy who seemed to have no reaction and expression on his face earlier, blinked at her multiple times to assure himself that he heard her right. 

"You bitch!" He slapped her again. 

Another man came inside the room and stopped the man who was slapping Zhenyi. "Have you gone nuts? How dare you hit her? She has grown too weak and if you torture her anymore, she will die and the deal we made will be canceled. Get your fucking brain out of your ass, moron." 

He dragged the man and gave one last warning look to Zhenyi who just glanced at him with a mocking gaze as if challenging. 'Kill me if you dare!'

"Why did you lie to them?" The boy who was sitting on the other corner asked in almost a whisper. The room was so quiet that it didn't escape any of Zhenyi's ears. 

"This voice?" The older Zhenyis's eyes widened. "She knows this voice. Hell, she can forget anything but this." 

Her knight. The man who would save her life later on. She didn't remember his face but she did remember his voice and memories. She didn't remember how she met him but she knew that she did. 

The young girl glanced at him, sitting in the other corner of the basement. His head was on his knees. "Lie? Xin Zhenyi never lies. They assumed and I let them. Who asked those dumbheads to assume whatever comes to their rotten brain?" 

"They could have hurt you," the boy whispered in a hoarse voice. 

"Are you worried about me?" The girl asked him in excitement. 

Zhenyi chuckled at her younger self. Long Jie was so right. She really was crazy and today, she saw the evidence with her own eyes. Looking at both of them, she wrapped her arms around her chest and closed her eyes. His face came before her eyes. He would be worried about me? She really didn't know but she knew one thing that she really missed him so, so damn much. 

The boy tried hard to avoid rolling his eyes at the little narcissist. " Don't do something like this again. They will hurt you even more." 

"I don't care. If they had to kill me, they could have done that a year ago but they didn't. I'm more useful to them alive than dead," said the young girl, shrugging her shoulders as if it was no big deal.

"I dunno what to call you, stupid or brave?" the boy muttered under his breath. 

"Surprise me," said Zhenyi with a wink. 

"Crazy!"
