**Thelma**

I picked up an orange scarf from my closet and wrapped it around my neck before I walked out of my room. I went downstairs to the living room to find my parents, as it was Sunday and still after 10 AM.

As I walked downstairs into our living room, I heard my father's voice speaking to my mom. I stepped into the living room and met their gazes. They stopped discussing as they heard my footsteps, and I stood frozen like a sacrificial lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

"Good afternoon, Dad, Mom..." I nervously greeted my parents, feeling the tension in the room as my dad stared at me. I heard him respond, "Good morning, Thelma. Aren't you going to church today?"

"No, Dad," I breathed out in relief, having thought my dad would reprimand me at home for what I had done the day before yesterday, which was Friday.

    **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.Thelma had never been a public figure like myself, and few knew she was my father's daughter. There was only speculation that my parents had another child aside from me, which was a girl. Not many were bothered to search for Thelma's identity online, as my dad hadn't posted anything about her either."Dad, I don't think it's a bad idea if Thelma still goes to work with them. The fact that she will be resuming with us is just for

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. We thought it wasn't a bad idea and allowed your sister to go there. And now look at the mess she came back home looking like... and

    Thelma's POV:"Said what?" 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...
