I was in the restroom” she stuttered, her eyes straying from his feet to his unclad chest.Although she had seen him naked before, that was while she bathed him in his unconscious state.

“What have I done wrong?”Heavy slaps land on her face, the sound almost reverberating around the room.“How dare you question my order about who to marry? What say do you have in this family?Jane’s father's eyes were filled with coldness, and his anger was glaring from inside.This was not the first time she was beaten for asking a mere question.She had wanted to know why she was being forced to marry when she had no plans to marry such a person.“Your little sister would be happy if she had this opportunity, but Forster's family specifically requested you instead of Mariam.” Dad says this between clenched teeth.“You should be happy. You’re not even qualified to marry into such a family.”“Is that so? I’m not qualified, yet they asked for me? Who are you deceiving? Can’t you see that I'm no longer a child?” It was natural to have them protect Miriam; she was the family princess, while I, on the other hand, am nothing but a second person who is only considered in the absence of th

BENJAMIN'S POVKen's constant rivalry with Jane was suddenly beginning to get at me.I might not want her for a wife, but I can't also stand her having anything to do with my younger brother.Dad had asked me about her during breakfast, even though I assured him of her well-being, he still insisted that I bring her down for him during lunch.It was as I approached her room that I heard the conversation between her and my supposed brother.“She has every right” I said Without the slightest hesitation.The shock on their faces was unbecoming and I was almost pushed into laughing at them.“Brother, I came by to see how my sister-in-law is faring. Heard she's sick.” Ken admitted in between a throaty cough.If I wasn't present when Ken was born, I would have doubted his paternity. He was nothing like dad and I.He was shrewd and tends to chicken out at the face of crisis.I knew he left the house to avoid seeing my face. The dread he showed each time he came around me was always baffling.A
