Chapter 4

"Why do we have to go to Mother right now?" Hana still hid her hands behind her back. She could feel murderous gazes from both sides. One is from Amber, and the other was from her own husband. Even Romeo didn't believe in her. Hana swallowed bitterly. The man trusted Amber more than her. However, Hana ignores her feelings. She's more interested in the fact that if Amber can play a sneaky game like this, then it is possible that her nightmare she has just experienced, can come true.

Hana could not let her beloved mother-in-law end up covered in blood on the floor. Obviously Amber is the real culprit! And Hana won't let Amber do it. Because of this, Hana should not let her heart fall in love with the handsome man in front of her who was currently standing with a murderous gaze towards her. Unfortunately, Hana loved Romeo for so long before they got married. But now, she was disappointed when Romeo believed Amber more than his own wife.  Hana can feel that Amber really hates her. The cunning woman is like a predator who will not let go of the prey that is right in front of her eyes. Her sharp teeth were about to tear Hana's body apart. 

"Why haven't you admitted that it's Aunt Marty's ring? Are you afraid of getting caught?" Amber's face turned wry, she didn't seem to mind that Hana wasn't following her game. "If it wasn't for Aunt Marty, whose ring is this!" Amber said angrily.

Romeo realized that the fight wouldn't end if only the three of them. Romeo looked at Amber who was glaring at Hana. Amber's family and his family are very close, so he gives consideration to what Amber says. 

One second later, Romeo noticed Hana. He was confused why Hana didn't want to admit that the ring was her parent's ring.

Is Hana embarrassed to say anything else? Romeo thought and paid attention to Hana.

Romeo felt annoyed, but that's not the way to get someone to follow his plan. He can't force that stubborn woman, he has to win over her thief wife! "Hana, we'd better go to my mother and let her judge whether this ring is to her or not. She's the only one who can judge if you're lying or not."

Sounds like a wise conclusion, but still, Why doesn't Romeo trust Hana at all? Also when talking about his mother, Romeo doesn't say "Mother" but he says "my mom", Hana realizes the big difference between those two simple words. Romeo doesn't consider herself part of the man's family. Romeo's behavior left a wound in Hana's heart. Her heart hurt once again and she almost wanted to shed tears when Romeo said it.

Does it mean that I admits that Romeo has meaning in my life? I need to stop loving him. Romeo was not the one for me. Romeo is more appropriate when side by side with Amber. They are both compatible, they both come from respected families. Unlike me, who does not have parents, Hana thought and rejected her love to Romeo.

But hearing a reasonable request from Romeo, Hana immediately said, "This is Aunt Anne's ring." Finally she admitted who the real owner of the ring was.

"Why does it look the same as Aunt Marty's!" Amber does not like her defeat, she has to push Hana until Hana admits that the ring really belongs to Aunt Marty, Amber's plan must not fail, this is an opportunity to make Hana's name fall in front of Romeo!

"I don't know why this ring looks the same."

"Lie!" Amber could not contain her anger. "Two days ago we saw this ring in this house, then I left you alone with this ring. It must be the ring we are talking about!"

Hana almost laughed at Amber's explanation. Her thinking turned out to be right. Amber remembered the incident clearly, and it must have been her plan until the ring was there. 

"Apparently you remember that incident," Hana chuckled in a voice full of meaning that made Romeo unmoving on the spot. He bit his lips, trying to learn what really happened. There is something strange about the woman who is now his wife.

"I think you have misidentified who the real owner of this ring is. Is it true that you were not wrong when you took this ring from its place," Hana said then immediately covered her mouth with her hand pretending she had spoken the wrong way. Amber's hands were clenched tightly beside her waist. But two seconds later, Amber couldn't stop herself from hurting Hana.

What! This country girl just insulted me! Amber thought. "Damn! Shut your dirty mouth!" shouted Amber. 

Without realizing, Amber's hand was about to fly towards Hana. But Hana quickly withdrew her legs, trying to avoid Amber's strong slap so it hit nothing but the wind exactly an inch in front of Hana's sharp nose. Romeo was surprised by what Amber did and said in a loud voice, "Amber! you can't slap her!" 

Amber is furious at that time. She couldn't take this kind of humiliation, her family was a respectable family who could get along very well with the Johnson family, who was rich and respectful. 

"You're just an orphan! Where did you get your courage to insult me! You dont even have the ethics of doing anything, and now you want to accuse me!" Amber yelled. 

I can't lose! Even though I just planned it all, I executed everything well! Hana bit into my bait and put on the ring, Amber thought. "Why can't I slap her! She already accused me of stealing it and made her look like she found it!" Amber yelled. 

"Indeed it is," Hana commented, she said it very calmly. There was no fear or anxiety in her voice. "Aunt Anne has lost her ring. I asked Mother this last night, she said that her ring was not lost. After that, we heard that Aunt Anne had lost her ring." Hana showed the ring pinned to her finger. 

How did that happen! Does she know whose ring it is! Amber cried in her mind.

Her's face turned a little pale, but she immediately covered it with a sudden sneeze.

"Looks like you're sick?" Romeo commented as he immediately turned his head to Amber. Amber wrapped her arms around her body to show a little improvisation and said, "I don't know, since yesterday afternoon I've been so tired of helping the committee in the consumption section."

Liar! Hana yelled in her mind. Hannah believes Amber is a good liar. She grinned softly at what Amber had said.
