Jane winces in pain, her hair forcefully tugged. She never expected that hand to grip her hair so roughly. "Austin... it hurts. Please, let go."
"How many times do I have to say it, Jane? Get out of this house."
Jane receives a shove, almost hitting the edge of the table. Luckily, her husband Austin didn’t push too hard. Yet her head throbs in pain. She feels like her hair is coming loose from the roots, maybe even left in Austin's tight, clenched fist, as if he's ready to strike her.
Jane shivers in fear but tries to maintain a smile. She doesn't care about the cake she just finished making to welcome her husband home. Jane thought there might be a little care this year in Don Austin William's heart, the man who still technically is her husband. In the past few months, Austin's emotions haven't been as evident as usual.
That's why Jane dared to hope that maybe, just maybe, Austin had changed.
"My tolerance limit has been reached, Jane!" Austin glares fiercely and mercilessly at his petite wife. He doesn’t care about the fear Jane displays in her eyes. He's sick of having this woman as his wife.
This ridiculous marriage has to end today. What reason does he have to keep Jane? None. The main instigator, Charles Don William, his father, breathed his last a month ago. The man Austin looked up to succumbed to cancer that had been gnawing at him for a long time. If it weren't for his father's request, Austin wouldn't have bothered to accept Jane as his wife.
"Maria!" Austin's voice thunders like lightning, causing the pillars of the opulent white and gold-themed house to tremble with his ferocity. Maria, a middle-aged woman who serves as the head maid in this house, hurries over, trembling in fear, her eyes glancing sadly at the woman cowering under the table. She wants desperately to help the gentle-hearted woman, but her fear of the man before her outweighs it all. He could be the most terrifying man she's ever encountered.
"Y-yes, Sir." Maria quickly bows, afraid of further provoking her enraged master. Though her eyes glance pleadingly at the woman curled up under the table, wanting desperately to assist her, her fear of the master surpasses her empathy.
"Get rid of this woman's clothes! I don't want to see her lingering around here."
"Austin," Jane immediately acts, attempting to reach for her husband's leg. "Please, don't kick me out. I... I apologize if I've wronged you. I'm willing to accept your punishment, Austin. Please... don't kick me out."
Austin doesn't care. He swiftly shakes off the hands that touched his legs. Then, with a forceful kick, he strikes the woman's arm. His eyes look down on her disdainfully as he says, "Your mistake has plagued my life, Jane. How foolish of you to accept my father's offer five years ago." He reaffirms his position with the woman who is still technically his wife.
Ah... not even twenty-four hours, and their status will certainly change. Money can expedite things, especially when it comes to divorce papers. He's been waiting a long time for the moment to divorce Jane. If it weren't for his father and mother's affection for the woman pleading before him, Austin wouldn't have allowed Jane a chance to step into this house.
Especially being a part of the Don William family.
"Never dream of being part of my life, Jane," Austin grips Jane's cheek with emphasis. Up close, Austin admits Jane has a pretty face. But Austin's the loyal type. There's only one person he loves in this world aside from his mother.
"There's only one person who will be Mrs. Don William, Jane. And it's not you. It's Calysta Abraham. You should've known that."
Jane's eyes well up. She's heard harsh, hurtful words from Austin so many times. Unfortunately, Jane always finds a way to rationalize it. She believes love will come into Austin's heart as time passes. Even when Austin openly cheats on her, Jane forgives. She's confident that someday Austin will come back to her embrace.
"Before my patience runs out, Jane, leave." Austin releases his grip on Jane's cheek. There's no mercy in his heart even as Jane sheds tears. He's seen Jane cry many times because of his words and actions.
Does he care? Not at all.
He won't forgive the girl who casually takes advantage of her parents' kindness just for status and a comfortable life filled with wealth. Pretending to be a noble and gentle figure just to catch her parents' attention. Also acting like a devoted child; caring for her father during chemotherapy until his passing.
Nope.
Austin isn't touched at all by any of Jane's actions in this house. His heart's cold and can only gaze at one woman; his lover and the apple of his eye. The one he'll make the lady of this house once Jane is gone.
"Give me three days to pack, Austin," Jane tries to stand up, wiping away the tears that won't stop flowing. "Please."
Austin firmly shuts his eyes, sighs deeply, a thunderous sound in his chest before speaking emphatically. His index finger is right at the tip of Jane's nose. Austin realizes Jane is immediately petrified by his behavior.
"One day, Jane. I don't want to see you here any longer."

"Why bring up the past at a time like this?" He takes a deep breath, trying to regain control. "Maria," he calls out afterward."Yes, Sir." Maria hasn't moved from where she was.

While his big hands still continued to support Calysta's back so as not to fall.The woman was already sitting straddling Austin.

Since Austin's arrival, the man didn't want to wait any longer just to taste the wine that had been provided.He said, "I can't stop thinking about how sexy you look in red lingerie.""I guess the nickname bull does suit you, Austin," Calysta said with a giggle. Although it was a little difficult to keep up with Austin who kept pushing her, Calysta always had a way to control the situation.Including slightly pulling the hair of Austin who was holding her.

No need to wait for tomorrow, Jane's preparations were all done. She'd already said her goodbyes to some folks living in this luxurious house. Not wanting to bother anyone, Jane chose to book a taxi instead of accepting the usual chauffeur's offer to accompany her wherever."But, Ma'am," Hans, Don William's family driver, groans in frustration. None of his persuasions are getting through to the woman standing there, flashing her warm smile. "It's late already. You could get into trouble going out at this hour.""Don't make it harder for me, Mr. Hans," Jane lightly taps the shoulder of the middle-aged man looking downcast. "I hope you'll help me take care of Mrs. Kate. Don't let her be sad because I'm not here anymore.""Ma'am," Maria couldn't hold back any longer. Her eyes, brimming with tears since earlier, spill over. Her cheeks damp with tears. "What can I do to make you stay here?"Jane tries hard not to get carried away by the emotions, although her

Throughout her life, Jane had never dared to take such bold action. But what else could she do when she felt cornered? The only thing that came to mind was stepping into this place. Previously shocking someone she contacted.Her only hope: not to encounter Austin on the floor she was about to head to now.It hadn't even been twenty-four hours since it happened to her. All the conversations and the extra beating of her heart along with her brain digesting what she had experienced. That memory kept echoing, beyond her control."I don't know who else to ask for help," Jane says, half desperate. She massages her temples until they ache. She's lost count of how many times she's paced around the small living room of her old house.Coming from the Don William family, there was only one most comforting place to return to. This well-maintained broken white painted house. All her furniture covered in white dusty sheets, but luckily nothing was damaged. Occasionally

"What are you doing here?" Austin asks with an intimidating voice. His eyes scan Jane as if she's a deadly virus."I... " Jane closes her eyes briefly. "I want to meet Richard."Austin squints suspiciously. "What's the matter?""Mrs. Jane has business with me, Austin. Can you calm down? You're making the atmosphere suddenly uncomfortable here," Richard says with a wide smile. "Come in, ma'am. I've been waiting for you.""I need to know what this woman is doing, Richard. Why are you acting like you're on her side?"Talking to Austin indeed requires extra patience. "I'm on the side that pays my bills more," Richard jokes. "I've asked Paula to prepare some tea for you, ma'am. Please, have a seat here."Austin grumbles disapproval, averting his gaze elsewhere, unwilling to pay much attention to Jane for too long.

Jane tightened the coat she was wearing a little. The road she was walking on was a little slippery, even though she was wearing boots and watching her step, she still had to be very careful. The air around her dropped a few degrees from what she expected."Are you okay?" asked Fabian as he fixed the scarf Jane was wearing."That question is for you, Fabian." Jane chuckled. Fabian's face was already very red from the cold that hit them."You're really out of your depth when it comes to the place you'd most like to visit." Fabian spluttered.

Jane couldn't help but laugh. "Forgive Fabian then.""No!" Rosalyn shook her head. "After you are married, you must stay at our house. There's a lot we want to hear about your relationship. Oh, my God! Fabian was really testing my patience. Why else would Zephyr have such a troublesome brother like Fabian!"The woman wasn't really angry. Just grumbling about her brother's behavior which she thought was a bit out of line. More than anything, Rosalyn was happy and touched. There was nothing she could do but wish them both happiness. Although the relationship between her husband and Fabian was not blood, couldn't a brotherhood be formed because of the setting?

"Quiet look on your face, Olive," Ursula said casually, but at least this redheaded woman's arrival came with the mineral bottle Jane needed."Hey, you're talking out of your ass," Harvey retorted with a disapproving glint in his eye. It's so representative of Jane's expression that he has to keep his smile and the outfit he's wearing this afternoon. He wants to talk a lot but the tension that's engulfing him doesn't go away easily."Did you forget how tense you were before the ceremony to legalize marriage?" Harvey spoke again with a look that had not been released from Ursula. The insinuated one, meanwhile, just shrugged her shoulders without feeling guilty. His hand skillfully unscrewed the bottle cap and handed it to Jane.As she said, "Drink first, relieve the tension. It's even more tense in front of the priest.

It was useless. He also didn't want to dwell on what was present in his life. He had to keep going, right? There was no way he could stay in the same spot while lamenting why he could be so stupid as to give a judgment?"You deserve real happiness, not a false one that ends horribly when you're with me, Jane." Austin let out a long sigh. His eyes were firmly closed with his hands clenched.

"How was your honeymoon?" asked Giselle without any awkwardness. She was being helped to wear a peach-colored dress that wrapped her body gracefully. On the back, there was a large, well-embroidered ribbon decorated with beautiful maple leaves."Do I have to tell you in detail?" Ursula gave Harvey an ignorant glance. "You must be curious, right, Harvey?"The girl who was wearing brocade gloves just chuckled. Her eyes looked at Ursula through the reflection of the large mirror in front of her. "Aren't you the one who requested special teaching from me because you have no experience?"Ursula spluttered but then, looked up as if she was already an expert in the matter they were talking about. "But I can honestly say, I didn't use any of your advice."Harvey stuck out his tongue.

But it seemed, from the slight crack in Giselle's door that was not closed tightly, it could already be seen that Giselle was fine.Minus her pretty face scowling with eyes focused on the cell phone."But if you wait outside, Giselle won't eat this soup." Jane smiled slightly and knocked lightly on Giselle's bedroom door. Suddenly, the girl was slightly startled and hid her cell phone.Just like a teenage girl who was caught doing something. But so be it. As long as nothing made Giselle sad or disappointed, Jane was happy."I hope you like my cooking."Giselle smiled widely. "When would I turn it down."

"I just want to go home," Giselle said in a low tone but her eyes were full of pleading. Which made Jane sigh repeatedly. I don't know how many times she shook her head with excuses, but none of Jane's words were heard by Giselle."Until your IV bag runs out, Giselle. The doctor is very tolerant of that." Harvey spoke this time. There was an unspoken but clearly audible final tone that made Giselle look away."You're so stubborn!" Harvey scowled. He was getting a bit annoyed with Giselle's childish behavior this time. It was much more troublesome with Giselle's unreasonable behavior than Ursula's indulgence that sometimes made him uneasy.Brina, who had been accompanying Giselle, could only remain silent. It also seemed like she had given up on giving many words to the beautiful girl who was lying weak."Can you leave us alone?" asked Jane which made them all look at her in surprise.
