1. Allegations

“Miss, the Young Master asked you to come to the living room,” a maid said to a shabbily dressed woman.

The woman who was washing the dishes turned around. Her hair was messy, her face looked tired.

“Now?” the woman asked.

“Yes, Miss,” the maid replied with a stiff expression and lowered her head.

Helena Helena looked surprised, it was unusual for her husband to call her when his housework was not finished. However, because it was an order, Helena put the plate in her hands in the sink and dried her hands. Her chest was beating erratically, making Helena feel uncomfortable.

When they arrived in the living room, everyone was already gathered. Helena was surprised but her attention was drawn to her husband’s flat expression.

“What did you do yesterday?” Jimmy Frazie’s cold voice pierced Helena who did not understand anything.

Before Helenaa could ask what he meant, a brown folder flew through the air and landed roughly on Helena’s face and its contents scattered.

“Explain that!” Jimmy looked angry, but Helena’s attention was diverted to some photos under her feet.

Her mouth gaped wide open with both of her eyes perfectly round, shocked to see the photo. Isn't that him? But, how could Helena sleep with another man?"

"Why are you silent, damn it?"

Helena screamed when Jimmy pulled her long black hair tightly, making her face immediately look up.

"I... it hurts," Helena groaned but Jimmy gripped her hair even tighter.

"That's obvious, damn it! How could you betray me secretly by sleeping with another man, huh?" Jimmy snapped angrily. The man's eyes even turned red.

"I don't know who that man is. I..."

"Don't lie!" said another woman in the room. "I saw you rush out yesterday," the woman continued.

"That-"

"Explain!" Jimmy snapped while gripping Helena's hair in pain.

Helena almost cried, this was the first time she saw Jimmy so angry.

"That's not even the first time. Bro, that woman has betrayed you. Are you going to just keep quiet while she cheats freely?"

Helena's gaze fell on her brother-in-law who smiled smugly insulting her.

"That's right, Jimmy. At first, mom felt strange because the woman left secretly and came back with so many things," said Helena's mother-in-law.

Helena didn't believe everything they said. Even though they knew why Helena left.

"Jimmy, come on, let go of her hair, Helena looks in pain," said a woman who approached Jimmy and hugged his arm gently.

Helena's tears were already wetting her cheeks because her husband's action of pulling her hair until some of it was pulled out, was really painful. Even when Jimmy let go, Helena's head almost hit the floor.

Helena looked at the woman from the corner of her eye. Who was that woman? Why was she so affectionate with her husband, and no one even defended her at all?

"Come on, honey. Didn't we agree, hm? That woman was proven to be cheating, even daring to sleep with another man? If you defend her, it means you have no self-respect," the woman said.

Helena did not believe what the woman said.

"That's right, Brother Jimmy. That lowly woman is no longer worthy of you. You've been married for three years and still haven't conceived your child, Brother Jimmy. That's why this woman is looking for a man out there so she can get pregnant without your knowledge," said Helena's sister-in-law.

"What do you mean? I never had such thoughts," Helena defended herself.

"Shut up!" Jimmy's voice boomed in the big house.

Helena's chest felt very tight, it hurt so much to see her husband change like that and not even give her a chance to explain.

"You don't believe it, do you, Honey?" asked Helena hopefully with tears that continued to flow.

Jimmy just stared at her coldly then turned around and took something on the living room table then crouched down.

“Don’t ever call me honey again. That’s so disgusting,” Jimmy said with a disgusted expression. “Sign this!”

Helena’s attention was diverted to a piece of paper that Jimmy had just taken from another brown folder.

“Come on, hurry up!” Jimmy jerked Helena angrily who was stunned because she couldn’t believe her husband would divorce her.

“What do you mean? Do you want to divorce me? Come on honey… this is a misunderstanding,” Helena said still trying to defend herself and even holding Jimmy’s hand but the man pushed it away roughly making Helena fall again.

Helena’s tears could not be stopped, flooding her face which was no longer beautiful.

“Sign it quickly!” Jimmy jerked again when Helena was just silent mourning the fate of her household which had now ended.

When Helena was unable to move the pen on the paper, Jimmy’s younger sister forced Helena to sign the divorce papers and immediately took the paper and secured it.

“Now go,” Jimmy said firmly.

At that moment, lightning struck the sky, followed by a very loud thunder. Helena looked back at Jimmy but the man had already turned his back on her and was calmed by a woman who looked at Helena with a satisfied smile on her face.

Two men whom Helena recognized as houseguards approached her to drag her out of there. Helena could only surrender, her brain did not understand this situation at all. Before leaving the big house, Helena looked at them one by one who smiled disdainfully, satisfied, even condescendingly. Helena knew that they were all fake.

Heavy rain poured down on the earth with lightning and thunder that rumbled simultaneously. Helena walked in the rain with thin clothes and began to shiver then took shelter at a deserted bus stop.

"Are you going to marry that woman, Jimmy? Don't you know that woman has no background at all? She's just a lowly woman who has nothing. It will only be a burden for our family. " Helena closed her eyes remembering three years ago when her mother-in-law protested Jimmy's decision to marry Helena who didn't even have anything.

"You're just a lowly woman who shouldn't be here. Hurry up and wash all the dishes and clothes. Don't let even a little dust in this house."

"You're nothing more than a maid in this house. What would you do if it weren't for Brother Jimmy? What a disgrace. My friends are coming, you should never have shown yourself."

"I didn't know you married just to make your wife a maid."

Their laughter rang in Helena's ears as she cried. Three years after marrying Jimmy, a CEO in her family's company had never once made Helena look good in the eyes of the family. It was very painful but somehow Helena had survived this far. Wasn't Helena too stupid just because she loved Jimmy too much?

Helena's face lifted when someone stood in front of her and Helena's tears flowed again when she found out who came to her. Helena immediately hugged the person.
