The year my boyfriend was at his poorest, I sold my body to give him a chance to make a comeback.

He swore with tears in his eyes that he would marry me.

Six years later, I waited for Elwood. But what I waited for was him attending an engagement ceremony with someone else.

In the bar's private room, I heard him say, "Elysia is just a deaf mute. Her body was tainted back then. Who would want to marry her?"

When I looked up and saw him at the door, he didn't even bother pretending anymore.

He pinned me against the wall, his tone mocking and sarcastic.

"Elysia, if you want to be with me, it's possible. Just come to the cocktail party tomorrow and drink with my friends, then I'll consider making you my mistress."

At the cocktail party, I walked past in a dazzling dress.

He and his group of friends blocked my path, their faces full of mockery and laughter.

"Elysia, you're really a loyal girl. When we ask you to come, you come. How do you have no dignity? No wonder he doesn't want you."

They forcibly pried open my mouth, attempting to pour alcohol into me.

They even took the opportunity to tear at my dress, trying to drag me into the private room to harrass me.

But in the next moment, a hand, with distinct knuckles, pulled me into an embrace.

"How dare you touch my fiancée? Do you want to die?"

They froze, instantly panicked, when they met the furious gaze of the heir to the capital's elite.

"Look, that simp really showed up." At the party, someone pointed at me and laughed mockingly.

He nudged Elwood with his elbow.

"You sure are lucky, not only can you hook up with a beauty like Amara, but even someone like Elysia, a sweet and innocent little deaf girl, is willing to be your simp for six years."

Others chimed in.

"Yeah, who doesn't know that Elysia has been hopelessly in love with Elwood? If she hadn't used her body to exchange for investment opportunities back then, how could Elwood have made a comeback?"

"Now, even though she's nameless and insignificant, she still comes crawling back as an underground lover, eager to be his little simp."

Elwood sat in the center of the crowd, his gaze falling on my dress. He squinted and looked me up and down.

His Adam's apple bobbed.

"I didn't expect her figure to be quite good. If I had known back then, I would have slept with her first, but unfortunately now, I think she's dirty."

The men behind him laughed.

"Elwood, if you don't like her, just let us have her. We don't think she's dirty, right guys?"

"Yeah, Elwood, weren't we supposed to teach her a lesson today?"

A few of them exchanged glances and burst into lewd, malicious laughter.

I was looking around when suddenly someone blocked my way.

Elwood tilted his chin up. "Elysia, I didn't expect you to be so cheap. You really came to accompany the drinks when I asked and dressed so slutty."

His gaze shamelessly fell on my exposed shoulder.

I immediately coldened my face, "Get out of the way, I'm not here for you."

"Oh, this little deaf girl still has the nerve to talk back!"

I didn't know whose hand it was, but someone impulsively grabbed my hearing aid from my right ear.

Their laughter immediately blurred.

Elwood sneered, pinching my chin. "Still talking back? You're not here for me? You’re a country bumpkin who can't even afford a dress, what chance do you have to be in a place like this?"

His voice was close to my left ear, his tone dripping with mockery.

I clenched my teeth, but still couldn't stop my eyes from reddening.

I waited for him for six years.

Six years ago, his company was facing bankruptcy and creditors came knocking, pushing his parents to their deaths. Even Elwood was at his wit's end, preparing to swallow a bottle of sleeping pills to end it all.

It was I who sold my body to give him the chance to make a comeback.

With the huge investment secured, Elwood kneeled with red eyes, making a vow.

"Elysa, wait for me. Once I get the company back on track, I will definitely marry you!"

"At that time, I will give you a grand wedding, so you won’t envy anyone!"

Back then, although he was poor, he still only ate one bowl of instant noodles a day. The money he saved was used to buy me the best hearing aids.

He held me and said, "Elysa, when I have money in the future, I will get you surgery so you can regain your hearing."

I believed him. And so, I waited year after year.

Elwood became busier and busier and we were always apart more than we were together.

Until later, when he had to negotiate a business deal and go abroad for two years, returning to lead the company to go public, Elwood transformed into a wealthy, powerful CEO worth millions.

I went to find him, asking when he would marry me. But I accidentally discovered that he was attending an engagement ceremony with someone else.

After I caught him, he decided to lay it all bare.

"Elysia, Amara is my equal. She can support me, something you can’t offer."

He raised his glass to toast with the girl in his arms.

He completely forgot the promise he made back then.

Memories flooded back as he tightly grabbed my wrist with a mocking expression on his face.

"I thought you were keeping your virginity for me, but I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a few years, you have become more and more dissolute. You dressed like this, deliberately seducing my friends?"

Tears blurred my vision.

I pushed Elwood away. "I have nothing to do with you, get out of the way!" I subconsciously tried to get my hearing aid back.

But, they tossed it around, mocking me maliciously, calling me "a deaf girl".

"Elwood, you are such a fool. You spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy Amara a branded bag. Why can't you take out some money to heal the ears of this deaf girl?"

Elwood smirked. "What do you know…"

He put a cigarette in his mouth. "She can't hear, that's what makes it exciting."

I looked up in disbelief and the surrounding laughter echoed loudly.

The excitement he mentioned was from last time.

When Elwood returned from abroad, the first thing he did was come to see me.

He coaxed me to sleep, then kissed me repeatedly. I felt his breathing grow heavier, but he wouldn't touch me. He got out of bed, lit a cigarette and called Amara.

"Elwood, you bastard! There's another woman lying next to you, why did you call me here? To keep you company?"

Elwood hugged Amara lovingly. “Amara, you know, I only sleep with you."

The woman in his arms was gradually captured by his kiss and she gradually softened into a puddle of water.

I heard the sound of messy clothes being thrown on the ground.

I heard the panting of man and woman intertwined.

I pretended to be asleep, but tears quietly fell.

I also heard their deep love.

Amara asked him why he didn't want to touch me.

"She's dirty," he replied.

Elwood's tone was so calm, but it was natural.

He was obsessed with my body. But he despised my past experience. Now, he wanted me to be there, so that I could witness his love with Amara in my sleep.

It turned out to be just for excitement.

At this moment, anger made my face look fierce. I rushed up with tears in my eyes, trying to snatch back my hearing aid, “Give it back to me!”

The men in front of me were extremely disgusting. They had nothing better to do and gathered together just to mock me, to snatch the hearing aid from my hand.

Just as I was about to grab it, the man suddenly raised his hand. “Caius, catch!”

With a wicked smile, he threw it to another man.

I chased back and forth between them, just to get back the hearing aid, but was suddenly groped by a short, fat man. “What are you doing!”

I reacted and slapped him madly.

He was so angry that he slapped me hard with his backhand. One slap was not enough, so he slapped me again.

"You bitch, you dare to hit me! Everyone knows that you let men sleep with you six years ago. What's wrong with me touching you? Do you really think you are a chaste woman? A woman like you is blessed to be touched by me!"

Although he was short and fat, he used enough strength. My face was immediately swollen after those two slaps and the burning pain urged my tears to well up.

I was pushed to the ground and the man wanted to rush over to hit me.

"Stop!"

Elwood approached coldly, "What's going on?"

"Brother Chen, this woman dared to hit me when I just touched her. She deserves to be punished!"

Elwood gave him a sharp look and the man immediately shut up.

Elwood approached me expressionlessly and stretched out his hand towards me.

I thought he was finally willing to let me go.

The group of friends also stared at him nervously.

The next second, he stretched out his finger to poke my red and swollen face and suddenly laughed out loud.

"Look at her, doesn't she look like a pig now?

Seeing this, his good-for-nothing friends immediately burst into laughter. Elwood did not have any intention of protecting me, so they bullied me even more relentlessly.

“Elysia, stop pretending to be so pure and innocent. You came to the party dressed like this to seduce us, didn't you? Since you're here, letting us touch you is just giving you some attention.”

I struggled desperately to resist, but they held me down even tighter. “Elwood, don't you often go to nightclubs? Come on, you check her out first.”

The man called Elwood approached with a wicked smile. His hand roamed over my body. Then he pulled out a wad of cash and threw it in my face.

“This is your tip for tonight. Elysia, as long as you keep us company tonight, you'll get more..

Their disgusting laughter clung to me like the slime of poisonous insects. They sneered as they dragged me into a private room.

“Get away from me! I'm not that kind of person! Elwood, let them go, or you'll regret it!"

Elwood sneered. He pulled out a belt from his waist and walked towards me with an ambiguous look in his eyes. "Not that kind of person?"

He patted my face with the cold belt. "Do you think you're so noble? Elysia, wasn't it you who slept with random men six years ago? Do you really think you're some pure little fairy? The things you've done have spread all over the circle. Who doesn't know that Elysia is just a bus that anyone can ride for money!"

They insulted me with the harshest words.

Elwood was tying the belt around my wrists, his head lowered.

I stared at him in despair. “Do you think the same? If it weren't for me back then, you would have swallowed sleeping pills and gone to hell. Would you still have the chance to stand here?”

It was my body that secured the huge investment to save him. He knelt before me in gratitude, promising to marry me for life.

It had only been six years. But was this how he repays me?

Elwood didn't dare to look at me and turned his face away. “Humph, who knows if you originally wanted to seduce other men and deliberately made me take the blame.”

He sneered and turned back. “Do you think you helped me? Elysia, you're overestimating yourself. Even without you, I could have overcome the difficulties and made a comeback six years ago!”
