Chapter 983

Skylar had already given instructions the night before about how she wanted the room prepared for the therapy session.

All the necessary items had been prepared in the storage room on the second floor.

The storage room had no windows and when the door closed, it was as quiet as if all connection with the outer world was cut

off.

There were two chairs inside.

Sylvia sat opposite Skylar.

With a warm smile on her face, Skylar softly said, “Ms. Ross, please relax.”

Worthy of her title as a psychologist, she could sense Sylvia‘s nervousness.

Sylvia smiled. “I'll try.”

She was a little nervous but she tried her best to suppress it.

She took a deep breath to calm her thoughts.

Skylar then took a silver necklace with a cross hanging from it out of her bag.

She held the necklace in front of Sylvia. “Ms. Ross, please look at the cross.”

Sylvia did as she was told.

“Look at it, empty your mind and don’t think of anything.”

Sylvia complied.

Suddenly, she saw a shadow flash in front of her.

“Ms. Ross, did you see a shadow?”

Sylvia nodded.

“Alright. Close your eyes.”

Sylvia closed her eyes.

Skylar started to chant in a foreign language. It sounded like some incantation but thankfully to Skylar‘s soft voice, it did not

irritate her ears.

Sylvia had a feeling that her consciousness had been taken to another world.

Her consciousness started to fade.

Awhile later, she felt as if someone had picked her up from the chair and carried her to a big soft bed before covering her with a

blanket.

She tried to open her eyes but found that she could not.

It was then that images started to flash in her mind and flooded her mind like the rising tide.

She saw herself in a luxurious hotel after having just had sex.

There was a knocking on the door that woke her up.

She opened her eyes and saw her stepmother, Dona, and Odell's

stepmother, plus several other relatives at the door, looking at them in disbelief.

Someone screamed, “Oh my goodness! Why are they sleeping together?!”

Amid the chaotic situation, Sylvia noticed Dona’s delightful grin and Odell‘s stepmother's cold grin.

Terrified, she covered herself with the sheets and looked at Odell who was beside her.

She tried to explain to him that she had not come into his room on purpose. She had been drugged by her stepmother.

However, the man had kicked her out of bed before she could say a word.

She fell onto the floor with a loud thud.

The pain as her back hit the floor almost knocked her out cold.

The images then fast-forwarded to a later time.

Before she knew it, she had married the man she liked and feared for many years and moved in with him.

She thought her wish of staying with him had finally come through but what she had gotten in return was his endless indifference

and disregard. Eventually, she had not even dared to appear before the man because she had been afraid that it would make

him unhappy.

After that, the man had defeated his stepmother and regained control of the company. He had become so busy that he barely

came home for half a month. She decided to visit the office and

unfortunately, she caught her best friend, Tara, having an affair with him. The way he had looked at Tara was gentle and loving.

This was something he had never shown her.

Then, she had found out that she was pregnant with twins and she had thought that by telling him the good news, it would bring

him back to her. Biting the bullet, she had gone to the villa that he had gifted Tara. However, Tara had then claimed that she was

also pregnant. Tara had fallen down the stairs and faked losing her baby just so she could frame her. Sylvia had tried to explain

herself but he had imprisoned her for half a year without trying to understand the truth.

In the six months that she had been locked up, he had never once come home. She had been stuck at home with Aunt Tonya

and her growing belly for company.

By the time he had appeared in her life again, it was one month after her delivery. Tara had come to her place to provoke her and

then falsely accuse Sylvia of slapping her six times. Sylvia had then been slapped sixty times before she had even fully

recovered from giving birth to the twins. Her children had been taken away from her and she was chased out of the house.

The images replayed themselves as though she was watching a movie. It was as vivid and clear as if she had just been through

all of them in a matter of seconds.

Her heart throbbed as if it were being held down and crushed on the ground.

She suddenly opened her eyes and found herself in a room that was warmly lit with the man beside her.
