I have to choose the right dress for my cruise tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t have many clothes, after looking for a long time, only a gauze skirt looks appropriate.<\/p>\n<p>Then I take my nightgown to the bathroom for taking a bath. When I am washing, suddenly there is someone knocking on the door.<\/p>\n<p>Not the door of the bedroom, but the door of the bathroom!<\/p>\n<p>There is no one else in this house but Frances Louis. It must be him!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t come in!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I say in a panic.<\/p>\n<p>The next second, the door handle is turned, Frances Louis opens the door and comes in, glancing at me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t you hear me? I said don\u2019t come in!\u201d I quickly pick up a towel to cover my naked body and shrink back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo.\u201d The man comes closer to me with a wicked smile on his lips. \u201cBesides, which part of your body I haven\u2019t visited?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What a jerk!<\/p>\n<p>Will he force me to have sex with him now?<\/p>\n<p>I gulp nervously and tell him, \u201cI am still in menstrual period. Don\u2019t try to do anything to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Frances Louis sneers, \u201cWhat do you think I&#8217;m going to do to you? What&#8217;s the dirty thought in your head?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I purse my lips at Frances Louis and say, \u201cYou know whose thoughts are dirty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Frances Louis chuckles and doesn\u2019t contradict me. I shall see his silence as approval.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter you finish washing, go out and I have something to tell you.\u201d Frances Louis says and goes out.<\/p>\n<p>I lock the door quickly, afraid that he would break in again. But, did he come in just to say this to me, or did he come to peep at me deliberately?<\/p>\n<p>I think the latter is more likely.<\/p>\n<p>After the bath, I take on the nightgown and get out.<\/p>\n<p>Frances Louis, who is sitting on the bed, sees me coming out and pats the place aside.<\/p>\n<p>I want to live as a person, not as a thing, a plaything.<\/p>\n<p>This is the only belief that has sustained me so far.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Frances Louis&#8217;s words are interrupted by the sudden ringing of the mobile phone.<\/p>\n<p>He looks at me, and answers his phone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrances, I&#8217;d better go with you tomorrow. I promise there won&#8217;t be any trouble. I&#8217;ve already chosen my clothes. Come and pick me up tomorrow morning.\u201d Whitney Jordan&#8217;s sweet and gentle voice comes.<\/p>\n<p>Before Frances Louis could speak, she adds, \u201cThat\u2019s it. Dad is calling me. Bye, I&#8217;ll wait for you tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whitney Jordan hangs up the phone. Frances Louis keeps silent for a moment. Then he says to me in a cold voice, \u201cThere are a lot of women waiting to go with me, Jane Noyes, don\u2019t think too highly of yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Frances Louis goes out angrily, but I just ignore him and go to sleep.<\/p>\n<p>The next morning when I go downstairs, he has gone.<\/p>\n<p>Perfect, I don\u2019t have to look at his long face!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-142","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/142","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=142"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
