The following morning, the Lennart family received the news that Gregg and Rhino would soon face trial. Ma'am Luna fretted about the implications, and Laila suggested a drastic measure."Mother, considering the situation, maybe we should leave the country. It might be the safest option for us and Zinnia."Ma'am Luna, pondering the idea, said, "Leaving the country might indeed be the best way to ensure Zinnia isn't exposed for Duncan's death. After all, his corpse hasn't been found."Meanwhile, Zinnia overheard their conversation and entered the room."Leave the country? Why? What's happening?"Laila, trying to calm her, explained, "Zinnia, dear, it's just a precaution. With Gregg and Rhino facing trial, it's better for us to avoid any unnecessary attention."Zinnia was skeptical. But what about Duncan?" Ma'am Luna, feigning concern: "Sweetheart, we're doing this for your safety. If we stay, people might start questioning Duncan's disappearance."Zinnia reluctantly agreed."Fine, bu

Duncan South had always been living a life of worthlessness despite being married to Zinnia Lennart, the beauty goddess of the city. He was disregarded by her and demeaned by her family. He faced humiliation everyday with great tolerance because of the love he had for his wife. "Zinnia, can you please help me with some money?" He asked his wife one evening when she returned from work. It was the time of the month when he had to pay the monthly hospital bills for his sick Mother and he had nothing. "You're shameless and worthless," she told him and poured out all the insults at him before going to the bathroom. He didn't know what to do. He told the doctor and asked for a few days to gather the money. The doctor was benevolent to grant him his request. The following day, the Lennart family is having breakfast. Duncan was feeling the cups of everyone with a kettle of tea. Then he remembered that his birthday was in a few days. He didn't know what pushed him to tell the family
Duncan's entire body vibrated and his heart sank like the titanic as he stood at the door watching them. He felt dumb and numb for a while. The man who appeared to be around the same age as Duncan, or likely to be two or four years older than him, was frantically enjoying his wife. Their moans suddenly filled the room and Duncan slowly clenched his fists. He couldn't stop tears from welling up in his eyes and rendering his vision of his wife who suddenly wrapped her legs around the man's waist. He felt more disgusted by how she was sensually muttering some words to the man which he couldn't make out of. It was a pure sign that she was enjoying the throb made of their bodies. They were lost in their crazy pleasure, and so were oblivious to the fact that Duncan was standing at the door, a few meters away. As he choked back his tears, not wanting a drop to fall, he gnashed his teeth as they began rolling on the bed, bodies intertwined. The rage that started building inside him was ext
Seeing the shock on his face, Zinnia laughed again. "Let me do the honor to clear you of any confusion. I don't feel bad for cheating on you because you've cheated on me too by marrying me through deceptive means. You could have refused the proposal of my father then but you agreed to marry me and cause me humiliation every single day. You don't know how many times I've broken down when I'm being reminded that I, Zinnia Lennart, got married to a useless shit for brains. You're an idiot, Duncan."Duncan watched the other family members laugh at him mockingly and still gathered the strength to talk in his appalled state.His eyes brimmed with tears. "Zinnia, I wanted to give you a surprise on this special night of my birthday."Everyone roared in laughter again except for Zinnia who eyed him with disgust."What could you have got to surprise me qwith? A cheap bouquet or cake? Or a worthless bracelet?"Duncan shook his head and sniffed. "It was a…""Shut up!" She silenced him and held up
*** Some Minutes Earlier *** A woman in her early 50s is sitting on a grand couch, her expression heavy with emotion. She takes a sip from her flute glass of wine, the rich red liquid reflecting the dim fluorescent light shining directly at her. The room is dark but exudes an air of luxury and exclusivity. The woman lifts up her chin a bit and stares at a picture on a long, exclusive cupboard, the image of a young boy around 7 years old. Her eyes are fixed on the photo, revealing a deep sense of longing or sadness. The dim fluorescent light casts a soft glow on the room but also highlights the shadows that seem to envelop the woman's form. Despite the opulence of the surroundings, her mood is somber and melancholic. As she slowly dropped her gaze, her eyes seeming to be welling up, her phone rang. She reluctantly picks up her phone, answering the call. "Hello, Luke…" "Ma'am Zelda, I…wait, what are you doing? Please, don't tell me you are drinking again." The woman's heavy
