**Steven**

I stared at my father's face as he remained seated on the living room's black couch, feeling pained to see my only younger sister crying and running away angrily after finally stepping out of her room.

She had spent the entire day hiding due to the visible kissing marks plastered all over her neck and cheeks.

I wondered how she had managed to celebrate her birthday at LX Hotel, and how my father even granted permission for that. He allowed her to go out with her friends for the first time in Thelma's life, to celebrate her birthday outside our home.

Father asked me as he finally looked back at my face.I replied to him, "Dad... we aren't done talking about Thelma starting her internship tomorrow at MW Group. Please, Dad... let's just give her a chance and support her for once..." I said."Support Thelma, you say, Steven. Didn't you see the kissing marks all over your sister's neck and face? Did you bother to ask her who she went out and slept with?"I sighed and replied, "No, Dad.""Didn't we support Thelma? We supported her going out to celebrate her birthday for the first time in a hotel, even when she refused to tell us the name of the hotel. As she only told your mother, and that her friends made the arrangements and she could not say no to them because they were the ones who paid for the birthday celebration and organized everything for her.

Steven asked me again, and I shook my head as I contemplated telling him the truth, that the man I had slept with was drugged to sleep with me, and he was very angry to know that I was in his bed the following morning too."Thelma..." Steven called to my attention again, and I said, "I mean, I don't know his name, brother, but can you tell Dad that I need some time to get over the man I had a one-night stand with before the marriage...""No, Thelma, that's only if you know the name of the man you slept with, and maybe Dad can consider you marrying the man instead of Felix... So do you remember his name now or what his butler called him?" Steven asked, and I shook my head and replied, "No... I only remember the butler's name, as Sir Adam...""Adam what?" Steven asked, as he looked at my face seriously, but I didn't know."Hmm, it's okay, sister... I have already convinced Dad to allow you to do your internship at MW Group, and you know why the group is called

She frowned at me as I made way for her to walk into my bedroom."Good evening, Mom." I greeted Mother as I finally shut my room door closed and turned to face her. She asked me,"Thelma, didn't I tell you to remind me today that we would be going to the hospital. I totally forgot about it, due to my disagreement with your father about having you betrothed to Felix? And you didn't even come to remind me of it. Why, Thelma?"I frowned and replied to her, "Mom, I told you that I'm fine, and I cannot remember anything wrong with me or the man.""I know, Thelma, and I'm not disputing that with you, but for safety measures, I think it is best that you branch into Doctor Amari's offic
