“David, come with me,” said the mother-in-law. David was confused but kept his feet following his mother-in-law from behind. Apparently headed for the kitchen.

“Now tell me. What other trouble are you doing, huh?” she asked in a very annoyed tone.

“I’m not causing any trouble, mother.”

“Then who are they, huh?! There’s no way they suddenly came here. With you? Who are you, huh?! Don’t lie to me. They’re definitely not your friends. I know that you have absolutely no friends here. You’re just a stranger who came out of nowhere and got to know my daughter and you framed her to marry you so you could stay here. You’re just a parasite. So it’s very unlikely that you have friends as cool as them,” said her mother-in-law breathlessly because she spoke in one breath. Her condescending look was clear in David’s eyes.

David clenched his fists. “Are you going to keep accusing me like that?” David asked. His face was down. For some reason, this time, he felt like he really wanted to fight back. What happened to him? Was it because of the anger he felt after seeing his wife’s infidelity, he became more emotional like this?

The mother-in-law seemed surprised to hear David’s slightly raised tone. Usually this man will not fight and is very willing to accept all the accusations, whether they are true or false. But this time was different.

“Can you repeat? What did you say? You’ve dared to fight now, huh?!” David was silent. His fists grew stronger. Actually, the reason David was always silent and resigned when his mother-in-law accused him was because of Lily. Of course, because David loves Lily. When he came to this city, he brought nothing, only his tired body and broken heart. David was devastated. He lost everything. His loved ones, wealth, power. Until finally he met Lily. In the past, Lily was so gentle and kind to him. Lily didn’t mistreat him. She understood that he needed that tenderness and affection. That’s what makes David, little by little, forgot the feeling of loss even though only a little can be cured. But over time, his wife changed. Lily suddenly mistreated him. Even so, love has already grown in David’s heart. That’s the only thing that makes him stay in this house, even though he gets insulted every day, either from his mother-in-law or his own wife. David only hoped that one day they could change and accept him. Maybe with him returning to being the head of the mafia, all that can happen.

“Why are you silent, huh?! Your braveness had disappeared?! You must be afraid that I’ll throw you out of this house, right?! You’re a useless brat!”

David didn’t know that Bruno followed him. He couldn’t bear to see his boss being insulted so badly by his mother-in-law. But it seems, right now, his boss doesn’t want to be disturbed. So, he will just wait. If it was too much, he would come over and explain everything. He was absolutely sure, if his boss’ mother-in-law knew that David was very rich and had high power, his mother-in-law’s character would immediately change 180 degrees. Just like what happened to Lily.

“Do you know if Lily went with Jack?” asked David at last. He looked at his mother-in-law with a sad look.

“Huh! Apparently, because of this, you dared to argue with me? What’s the matter, huh? Why if Lily went with Jack? Trouble for you?”

“She’s my wife. Why did you let her date another man? Doesn’t that mean Lily is having an affair?”

The mother-in-law snorted and then smirked. “David oh David. Listen to this carefully,” she said as she pressed against David’s chest with her index finger firmly enough.

“I’ve seen my daughter suffer so much while married to you. You’re not self-conscious, aren’t you? You’re poor, David! Poor! Isn’t that enough for you to think that your wife needs another man to be happy?!” David’s body was slightly pushed back.

“So, yes. I purposely allowed Jack to take Lily away. I even asked Jack to come here myself. I’m happy to welcome him. Besides, it’s Lily’s birthday. Jack told me that he had prepared a surprise for my daughter. That’s good, right? It’s rare for Lily to get luxuries because you can’t give her that! So don’t complain too much! Now, tell me, what can you do for Lily, hm? On her birthday, you didn’t even bring anything home! You’re actually causing a ruckus! It’s just a headache! Where is it? You said you’d bring food supplies for us. Look, you broke your promise. What did you use the money Jack gave you? Spoiled yourself? Just for your fun, huh? Oh, Jesus. What punishment are you giving me and my daughter by bringing in this useless man? I am tired. Can’t you just make him go away?”

Of course, David felt a deep heartache hearing every word that came out of her father-in-law’s lips. Why does she have no heart toward him?

“Where’s David?!” The screams coming from the hall made David, Bruno, and the mother-in-law look in the same direction.

“That’s Lily’s voice,” said the mother-in-law.

“Why is she screaming your name? Look, tsk! You must have messed up her date with Jack, right? I thought so! You’re such a pain!”

SLAP!

Bruno was very surprised when his boss was slapped.

‘Shit!’

So did David.

“David!” There’s Lily come. She looked alternately at her mother and husband, who were dumbfounded while touching his cheek, which had just been slapped so hard that it turned red. Lily stared in surprise.

“David.” She walked quickly to her husband.

“Lily. Let me teach this pis a lesson. He must have messed up your date with Jack, right? Huh! Must be a messy.”

Thump!

Lily looked at her mother. “Mom. What did you say? And what is this? Did you just slap David?”

“David? Are you all right?” Lily asked, looking anxiously about her husband’s condition. But what David did was take some distance from Lily. He’s still disappointed. This is, of course, very surprising to the mother-in-law. Why was Lily being so kind and caring to David? Even though she had gone to great lengths to make Lily aware of and hated David.

“Lily, what’s wrong with you? You forgot your husband is poor? How was your date with Jack?”

Lily looked at her mother. “Mother, listen to me carefully. From now on. Never insult my husband again. You have no right to do that.”

“W-what’s wrong with you? You! What are you doing to my daughter, huh? You’re threatening her, right?!”

“It’s up to you what you want to say. I’m too lazy to talk about this. I have important business to attend to.” As David was about to leave, Lily grabbed his arm. Then did something David had never expected.

Thud!

Lily Kneeled in front of David, holding his leg, then she kissed David’s leg. “Please, forgive me. I know I was wrong, David. Won’t you forgive me?”

David looked at Lily, who was sobbing. ‘Is the lesson I gave her enough?’

“Lily! What are you doing?! Get up quickly! You don’t deserve to kneel at your poor husband!”

    “Don’t kneel,” David said. He crouched down to help his wife up. Lily sobbed.“I’m sorry, David,” said Lily. David knew Lily changed only because of the treasure he thought David still had. Though it will not completely be his anymore. David knew that, even if he was asked to return, he had a lot to face. Maybe even his life would be at stake. That was why David was still a little hesitant. But seeing the change in his wife, who seemed to have the opportunity to love him, David thought it didn’t matter.“You must have hypnotized my daughter!” the mother-in-law did not accept what was happening in front of her.“Mother,” Lily warned her mother.But instead Lily was glared at by her own mother. “Are you stupid or what, Lily?! Don’t be so easy to believe! Could this poor husband of yours have a plan! You know, he just got the money. Or maybe what Mr and Mrs Aisley said is true that he stole. Then he used the money to hire these thugs! Admit it, David! They are not your subordinates! “ Th

But his mother-in-law looked at him like she didn’t know him at all. David knew for a fact that his mother-in-law would be very embarrassed if everyone thought she had come with David, whose appearance was so unseemly enough to come in here. With the naked eye, everyone could see from his appearance that he was not someone from the upper class who could shop in a luxurious place like this.“Excuse me sir, can I help you?” David looked at the saleswoman. From the look on her face, David could tell she was pretending to be friendly. The frown on her forehead, and the stare, as well as her smile that seemed very forced, showed that she didn’t like David’s presence here.Creak!“David!” An exclamation with a high enough tone stole everyone’s attention.“What’s wrong, Onyx?” the saleswoman asked Onyx

    It shocked everyone in the shop to see that. Some even shouted because they were scared by the atmosphere here. The situation has become increasingly tense.“AAAAAAAAAA! HELP!”“Shut your guy’s fucking mouth!” Bruno immediately looked at the screaming and then gave threatening words with his sharp gaze so that those who were shouting at the same time immediately covered their mouths with their hands.“Who are you?!” asked the police officer. His face is no less fierce.“Get out your fucking hands from my boss!” said Bruno before he answered the question.“I was trying patiently to wait outside. I thought my boss was being treated well inside this store. But apparently, damn it! You guys treated him so badly! How dare you! All of you! Fucking jerk!”David sighed. He knew that eventually Bruno would enter the shop. But he didn’t expect things to get so heated up like this. Until Bruno and his subordinates brandished their guns.“Bruno. Stop it. There’s no need to do such a thing,” said

But all of you have rotten hearts! How can you just believe a man’s bullshit just now? Tch!” Bruno looked at all the women who were shopping. They all look so embarrassed.“I’m very sure no one is defending my boss earlier. What a waste of your beautiful faces! Your beautiful appearance and abundant treasures are meaningless because of your rotten heart!” Bruno’s words managed to make all the women who were there hurt. Lily is no exception. Her heart ached. She also didn’t even help her husband when he was so insulted. Lily actually acted as if she didn’t know her own husband.‘I am his wife. What have I done? What kind of wife am I?’ Suddenly Lily’s tears fell. She cried in a low, sobbing voice. This suddenly made her husband look at her and then startled.“Lily? What’s wrong? Why are you crying

    David and Bruno were talking one-on-one. David looks seriously looking at Bruno’s iPad screen. To be more precise, he focused on seeing photos of a person on the screen. Not just one person, but several people. Don’t forget that David also saw some CCTV footage that was sent specifically to Bruno’s E-mail account in secret. Everything Bruno had arranged so carefully. There are already trusted people in the mansion to regularly provide information about the master and his wife, also their children.“They’re not that different from the last time I saw them,” said David at last. Bruno nodded his head.“The only thing that has changed is dad. He looks so thin and fragile,” there was a sad tone when he said it. David’s grip on the iPad even strengthened. There was a burning feeling that hurt him when he saw his father-in-law in such a state. Back then, when he was still there, his father-in-law still looked so fit. In fact, they often exercise together. Golf, riding, shooting and other thi

Turn out that was a cop. David frowned. “Yes, Officer? Is there something wrong?" Why suddenly the police come to his house? A few seconds later, three cars came. It was Bruno’s car and his subordinates. Bruno and the others came over near him.“What’s the matter, boss?” asked Bruno to the point. He saw the appearance of this police officer from top to bottom.“Don’t tell me you’re a cop hired by people who envy my boss?” Like what happened yesterday. Maybe there are still people who hate his boss.“If it’s true. I’ll make you regret it too. So before doing that, you’d better just give up.” it touched David that Bruno had always been his number one shield to protect him.The police officer shook his head. “No sir. I ca

But after only a few steps, Mr. Aisley restrained them.“S-Sir, my wife didn’t mean to offend the two of you.”“Let me apologize to you.” Mr. Aisley stepped closer to David, then suddenly...THUD!He prostrated himself before David. His knees even hit the floor hard. Of course that made David very surprised. Mr. Aisley, who was no less arrogant than his wife, did something like this in front of David who they often called the unemployed fat pig.“Mr. David, I-I beg you. Please forgive what my wife and I have done. Our entire mistreatment. We sincerely apologize.” From the hoarse voice with sobs that sounded, it could be found out that Mr. Aisley was crying right now.David’s body was still frozen. Mrs. Aisley who saw her husband prostrate in front of David also her body froze. In all his life, her husband had never done anything like this. She looked at David, their eyes met. And for

But he also still didn't protest much when he got the gift even though he was very surprised."I hope it's not something gross or scary in it. You know I don't like that kind of thing."Lily chuckled but didn't say a word. She just stared at the box and motioned for David to open it immediately. Because David also couldn't hold back his curiosity, he opened the box and immediately saw that there was only one object there. One small object immediately caught her by surprise when he took a closer look at it.A pregnant test pack showing two blue lines. He looked alternately at his wife and at the object, in utter disbelief. A surprise he never expected. His brain immediately turned.
