Zoey didn’t text back after Nella sent that message.

Nella had no clue whether Zoey believed her or if Zoey got bored when her teasing didn’t get a wild reaction.

Her thoughts went back to that mango cake from earlier.

Alfred claimed he didn’t know.

Did he not know she was allergic to mango? Or did he not notice there was mango in the cake?

No matter what, it all meant the same thing-he wasn’t paying attention and didn’t care enough.

It was just like their marriage. It looked perfect from the outside. But underneath, it was falling

apart.

It was dangerous and deadly.

Alfred didn’t even realize how long he had been standing on the balcony until a sharp burn in his fingertips pulled him back.

The crystal ashtray was packed full of cigarette butts.

He crushed out the final cigarette, yet even that tiny hit of nicotine couldn’t ease the frantic tension gnawing at his chest.

When the smoke faded, he headed back into the living room.

The first thing he saw was the mango cake on the table.

He knew perfectly well that Nella was allergic,

Shortly after they got married, he passed by a bakery on his way home and randomly picked up a mango crepe for her.

He remembered how her eyes sparkled when she saw him.

It felt like stars glowed in her gaze-bright and warm.

She tried to hide it, but the excitement still shone through those beautiful eyes.

Alfred didn’t get it. How could a cheap little dessert make her that excited and happy?

When she took the first bite, her face changed for a second.

But she forced a sweet smile and finished it anyway.

Then everything went downhill. Red spots spread across her skin, her breath turned rough and fast, and she passed out right in his arms.

He only learned at the hospital that it was a mango allergy.

That tiny change in her expression earlier was because she tasted the mango, but she still kept eating.

He asked her later why she would eat it when she knew she couldn’t.

She answered softly, “I didn’t want to throw away what you bought.”

Alfred figured she was raised to always accept kindness.

But he still couldn’t understand a childhood that taught someone to risk their life just to be polite.

After that, he never brought home anything with mango again. They even avoided it in daily meals.

But tonight, when he wanted to apologize, he ended up handing her something that could hurt her badly.

He remembered Nella’s shocked face when she saw the mango cake, only for her to brush it off like it meant nothing. His heart skipped a beat.

He went toward the main bedroom. The moment he pushed the door, he heard her desperate sob inside.

“Help me, Alfred… Help…”

His heart dropped. He shoved the door wide and rushed over.

“What’s wrong, Nella?”

His voice lowered, tinged with anxiety.

A tear slid from the corner of her

eye.
