The Woman From Hell

In the pitch-black warehouse, I could feel bugs crawling on the ground from time to time, which made my skin crawl.

There was no clock here, and I had no sense of time. It just felt like a long, long time had passed.

I got locked up without even having eaten a few mouthfuls of food just now, so I was so hungry that my stomach hurt.

At this moment, I heard a voice from outside.

In the darkness, I saw someone walking toward me. There was a window in the small warehouse. I looked out through the window. It was Frank. He limped toward me, holding a flashlight. I had not seen a flashlight like that in a long time.

God, how far behind was this place?

Just as I was contemplating, Frank reached me in a blink of an eye. He was carrying a small box and looked at me with a smile. "I brought you some food. You must be very hungry."

Hearing this, I was stunned.

It seemed that Frank was not bad-hearted, but he did regard me as his wife, and that was why he was taking such good care of me.

He opened the box, took out a bowl of rice, added some vegetables and meat, and handed it to me through the window. "I just reheated it. eat."

I was a little moved when I accepted the bowl he handed over, but I was more homesick.

I did not expect another disturbance right after a period of stability. I began regretting letting Nicky go back then.

I should have known that this woman would not give up easily.

My tears fell uncontrollably into my food while I ate. It tasted salty. I sniffled.

Frank heard my voice and asked softly, "Are you crying?"

"Yeah." I did not deny it.

"Do you miss home?" I could hear some helplessness in his voice.

He sat down against the wall under the window and talked to me, "I know that you definitely won't fall in love with me as you're married and have children. My mother just wants me to find a city girl. She's too prejudiced. My relatives all found brides outside the village, and that's why my mother thought of this trick and dragged you here. In fact, I disagree with her methods, but I also know that she's doing this for me. That's why I can't disobey her. Don't you agree?"

Frank was not only kind but also filial. It was a pity that he was born in this remote place.

"Even so, you can't force people. We're all innocent. Do you know how worried my family will be now that I've been brought here?"

I could not imagine the situation of those girls who had also been sold here. Maybe they were imprisoned like me, maybe they have accepted their reality and become a part of this place, but their future should not be like this.

Frank sighed. "Since you are here, I will treat you well even though I am not very good. I will never go astray, I will only listen to you."

"And if I quarrel with your mother? Whose side will you be on?"

It was just a simple question, but it stumped him. Frank hesitated for a long time before replying, "You can't marry a wife and forget your mother..."

The answer was clear.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

I smiled. "It seems that you still

prefer your mother. You know, my husband is an important figure in Whaldor City. He is handsome, capable, and very popular. He treats me very well and only stands by my side. Do you think I will give up such a man and agree to marry you?"

After hearing my words, Frank's entire face wrinkled up...
