Catherine nimbly approached me with a hateful gaze. Her dislike of me made Catherine seem like she wanted to hurt me as a way to vent her anger. "Catherine..." I looked at her with sad eyes. "You—""You wench! Seductress!" Catherine cursed.The insult rang clearly in my ears. With clenched fists, she looked ready to strike my face whenever she wanted.But instead Catherine pointed at my face with her long-nailed index finger. "You really are a whore! Gavin was right, you're a slut!"I shook my head, my eyes reddening and about to cry any second. Catherine was furious with me. Obviously because the kind Adam was willing to help me in my current difficulty. "Catherine, I only asked Adam for help getting me some rice and dishes," I said."You think my husband is your servant?!" Catherine snapped. "And you, Adam! You love her, is that why you're willing to be ordered around?!"I saw the wrongly accused Adam take a deep breath. Then he said, "Catherine, calm down. Why are you angry agai

"You gotta see a doctor," Adam urged.His arm was already looped around my wrist. From his expression, I knew he was really worried. Maybe the gash on my hand from Gavin's belt was looking pretty bad."Wait a sec—""Wait for what, Mahira? Your face is already pale. I'm sure you're dehydrated," he said again. I tried to refuse, of course, because Gavin was glaring hatefully at me and Adam. Adam insisted on taking me to get treated, maybe in his eyes my condition looked really pitiful. How could it not, I could barely even stand from losing so much energy."Come on, Mahira. I don't want anything bad to happen."As soon as Adam had won my trust, my mother-in-law showed up. Though until then it had just been the three of us in this house. Her footsteps sounded hurried as she approached me."Where are you going, Mahira?" she asked. Then her eyes shifted to Adam, who was holding my hand. "What are you doing?"Adam cleared his throat, he let go of my hand and was about to answer my mother-i

"Why are you here?" I vaguely heard Gavin's voice asking at the front of the room. "Take Mahira out from inside! What you did to her is against the law. If Mahira dies, you could be prosecuted and imprisoned. Don't play around and make light of things," Adam could be heard talking to Gavin."None of your business."The door opened. I looked at Gavin, who was also staring at me in the center of the door. He stepped through without closing the door, leaving Adam standing right in front of our room. "You know your mistake and realize it?" Gavin asked me sarcastically. I nodded. "I'm hungry," I whispered, trying to make Gavin melt into me even more."Oh, you want to eat with someone's husband? You're not satisfied with just enjoying his body, and you want to take him from Catherine? Wow, you really are a womanizer. You're great, Mahira. Is your goal really to destroy their home? Listen, I will never let anyone who hurts my family live. So, think before you have any intention of destroyi

"You... what are you doing? Why are you here together and..." Gavin seemed lost for words, seeing me and Adam so close in front of the room."What's wrong, Brother?" asked Catherine, who was equally surprised to see Adam in front of my room. "Adam, where have you been? I was looking for you all night because you didn't come home. Did you just come home or what?" asked Catherine, looking at Adam."I-""Stop. I know what you're doing! You guys are really shameless! I really didn't expect things like this to happen in the house," Gavin snapped. His face seemed to turn red. "And you, Mahira!" Gavin came closer to me, not waiting for long; he immediately shot out his right hand and landed on my cheek so hard that I took a step back and almost hit the door behind me."Gavin, don't do that to Mahira. How many times have you hit her over a misunderstanding, you thought, huh? It's enough that you made Mahira throw away everything she had for you; don't throw away Mahira's hope to stay alive,

"It's bad!" I panicked at the call from Gavin outside the room. I looked at Adam, who still hadn't moved. "You'd better hide somewhere first. I don't want this to start a family fight," I said hurriedly.Adam swept the area of my room, which must have been very unfamiliar; it shouldn't have been him who thought of a hiding place because Adam didn't know where the safe place was. "Find me a safe place, Mahira. In the closet or the bathroom?" asked Adam, who was also panicking.I racked my brains, feeling there was no more time; I finally pushed Adam into my closet, which was not far from the bathroom. After a few seconds, the door opened from the outside and revealed a man in a white shirt with a black pantsuit looking sharply at me. "Do you have no ears or what? I've called your name so many times, but you didn't answer at all. What an ignorant woman," Gavin snapped. His eyes lit up; I just looked down. "What are you doing here? Are you hiding a man?" Gavin snapped. I raised my hea

I blinked as a ray of sunlight came through the window. My eyes not yet fully open, my right hand reached for the gadget on the nightstand, fingering it lightly to see the time.When the flat black object was successfully grasped in my hand, I saw that it was exactly 6:15 am. It was still too early for me to get up. I usually set my alarm for 7 am, then head out to help prepare Gavin's family breakfast.I opened my eyes wide as I realized that my bottom was in a lot of pain. I bit my lower lip, and my memory reflexively rewound. Last night wasn't a dream. Gavin's warm caress was still there. He really came for me and filled my night with warmth. It was not like before that I thought that what Gavin had done last night was a dream.But what if it was just a dream?I turned my head slowly to confirm who was sleeping beside me. For a moment, I rounded my eyes to stare at the man who was still asleep under the blanket with a shady face. I shook my head, unable to believe what the man was
