“How dare you threaten me with your death again!” he bellowed.
It was the first time he had shouted at me. He even knocked over a chair in his anger. “Ariana, if this happens again, I swear the one who dies will be you!”
Wendy was terrified. Even after Nicholas had left, she didn’t dare to breathe too loudly. After a while, she said to me, “Mr. Hawk cares about you. When you were unconscious-”
interrupted her, “Please bring me another bowl of oatmeal porridge.”
His outburst was uncalled for, and he got angry for no reason at all. In the four years of our marriage, he had never raised his
voice at me like this.
Moreover, I had only said something extreme due to my frustration this one time. How could he accuse me of threatening him? Moreover, he even said I’d done it “again” when I’d never done such a thing.
It was clear he was just finding an excuse to reproach me simply because he didn’t like what I said. There was no way we could continue living like this.
I stayed home for a few days. During this time, I didn’t see Nicholas or Claudia around. I had no idea if they were together or not, so my thoughts ran wild. This affected my rest and slowed my recovery.

Once I felt a bit better, I read my law books when my head wasn’t spinning. Thankfully, I had once memorized them and could recall most of the contents with a little review.
One night, as I was sleeping soundly, the smell of alcohol drifted into my nostrils. The taste became stronger as I licked my lips.
My body trembled as my eyes flew open. I was shocked to find a certain man passionately kissing me.
“Are you awake now?” His voice was husky. He ran his fingers across my lips and bit my ear. “Be good and cooperate with me, my dear wife.”
The next second, my nightgown was pushed up to my neck. His hands roamed over my body and ignited a wave of heat wherever they landed.
