The door of the opened and came out Zachary himself wearing his black suit with black shades. From the other side, it was Cosmina who came out holding a mini laptop in her hand. She came to the side where Zachary was standing and I saw as he ordered her something and she nodded before walking ahead towards the house.

　　Zachary pulled his suit to himself and I saw as he leaned on his car and took out a cigarette from his pant pocket and using a lighter he lighted the cigarette and began smoking it. I scowled at his action. Doesn't he know that smoking cigarette is injurious to health?


　　He doesn't even have one single good habit within him. Why am I even expecting a good habit from him?

　　I watched as he took out his phone and began scrolling it while smoking the cigarette from the other hand.

　　All of a sudden I had a craving.


　　I wanted to walk up to him and smack his face tightly.

　　As if he heard my intentions or something he gazed up at me and looked directly into my eyes. He took the cigarette up to his mouth and blew out a puff of smoke out of his mouth. I frowned at him and decided to get back inside away from his sight.


　　It was what he wants right? Keeping me away from his sight. If he can't bear the sight of me then why should I even show him my face?

　　I went back to the couch and sat on it idly playing with a loose strand of my wet hair. It's not that I could do anything trapped inside a room. My trains of thoughts came to halt when I heard sounds coming from the door and the door of the room opened revealing Zachary himself.

　　"Come out," he said and like a dog, I stood up and followed him out of the room. I followed him till the living room and I saw everyone already present in the living room. There they were, Cosmina, mom, and Gale, grandfather, and Willi too.

　　"What happened? Is everything alright between you two? Why were we not allowed to meet Juliette and why was she locked up in her room?" asked mom.

　　So she had no about everything that has been going on?

　　"Yes! I want to know. Why was my grand-daughter-in-law locked up like that? I want answers Udolf" grandfather asked Zachary.

　　All Zachary did was, he shoved his hands into his pant pockets and pursed his lips.

　　"Nothing! Everything is fine between us," he said lying looking back to my face. I clenched my jaws and gave out a forced smile to the family.

　　"Do you think we are stupid Zachary?" Gale asked pointing an accusing finger towards Zachary.

　　"Nobody locks his own wife like that. Away from everyone without any reason!" he continued and I looked back at Zachary to find him looking at Gale with a stoic expression.

　　"Forget it! I will ask Juliette," he further added irritated by Zachary's expression.

　　"Juliette is everything okay?" he asked to me.

　　I was about to open my mouth when Zachary interrupted me by saying "I already told you! Everything is okay!" he said gritting his teeth at Gale.

　　"Is your name Juliette? I am asking her and she is the one who will answer. Do you understand?" Gale glared at Zachary while I stood there shaking in anger for Zachary has tested my patience too much. I was beyond angry upon him now.

　　"Yo-" I cut Zachary.

　　"No! Nothing is okay between us," I said all of a sudden leaving no room for Zachary for interfering.

　　He glared at me and warned me through his eyes not to do anything stupid.

　　But I didn't care.

　　"What?" mom whispered.

　　"Truly speaking I also don't have any idea why all of a sudden I was locked inside the room like that away from everyone" I further added which caused Zachary seething in anger.

　　"And I am angry. Angry upon Zachary for not even letting me know and treating me like that," I said as calmly as I could but I knew that the bridge of my patience was breaking second by second and I would lose it any second.

　　"But!" I added when I saw Zachary about to speak.

　　"Everything can be normal if he pays for what he did," I said and saw as Zachary gave me a confused look.

　　"Look at him seething in anger" I chuckled sarcastically and further added "I guess his anger has raised his body temperature. You need to cool down before you get your blood pressure high!" I said and looked around when I spotted the jug of water.

　　"Wait a minute!" I said and walked to the table where the jug full of water was kept.

　　I took it and came back to my previous place.

　　"Have it! It will," I paused and heard the gasps of everyone present in the room when I practically poured the water out on Zachary's face.

　　"Cool you down!" I said once the jug was now empty.

　　He stood there in shock for a minute and then he raised his hand and touched his face as if not believing that I just splashed water on his face before everyone humiliating him. He wiped his face using his palm and then his facial expressions contoured the angry ones and angrily he got rid of his now wet dripping suit and he began to flip it in air.

　　I sighed and turned around and kept the now empty jug on the table beside the sofa.

　　"Oh, my!" mom said out of shock.

　　"Why you!" he seemed clearly miffed with the scenario.

　　And as I have already predicted, I was grabbed by my arm and I was dragged back towards the room with him muttering something in annoyance.
