I was wearing nothing but a thin silk nightgown . Several rich kids were now advancing on me with sick smiles . Rough hands grabbed my ankle before I could react , and my slippers went flying Then someone else ripped off my socks . My bare feet sank into snow that came up past my ankles . Bone - chilling cold shot up from my feet straight to the top of my head . I convulsed violently , my teeth chattering out of control It wasn't just cold - it was agony , like thousands of ice needles piercing straight into my bones . " Damn , bro , look at your wife's figure . She looks so pitiful out here in the snow . " I lifted my head , struggling to see through the wind and snow to where Kai stood in the distance . When he saw my face , something complex flickered in his eyes - maybe guilt , maybe reluctance . But that emotion lasted only a second before being replaced by deeper coldness and disgust . He didn't stop them . He didn't even frown . My belly , aggravated by the brutal cold and my instinctive struggling , began throbbing with waves of pain . I curled up on the ground , trying to preserve what little warmth I had left . Warm liquid flowed from between my legs . I looked down to see bright red blood seeping through my thin nightgown . " Oh no ! " Scarlett cried out dramatically , running toward me . But she was smart - she stopped three steps away . Tears streamed down her pitiful face as she wailed at me : " Gianna . Just apologize to Kai ! Don't blame him - he just cares about me too much ! He's got such a soft heart ! " Looking at her , I almost wanted to laugh . My body was nearly numb with cold , but my mind had never been clearer . I used every ounce of strength to prop up my shaking body and stare her down : " Scarlett , when you came back to the States , I was the one who brought you into our home . " " I treated you like my own sister , gave you the best of everything , and what did you do ? " My voice wasn't loud , but it was crystal clear : " Aren't you exhausted from all this acting ? " " And didn't you have plans with your girlfriends that day to go do yoga ... " 6.096 Chapter 2 When Kai heard my words , he glanced at Scarlet with a slight frown .
