SIXTEEN
"Laurel? Laurel Stuart?”
I blinked a few times, trying to adjust to the unfamiliar surroundings. My body moved to the right, squirming, and I scratched my scalp a few times in a daze. I heard someone calling me from a very close distance. I could even feel his warm breath against my face. But I'm very sleepy. I still want to close my eyes and curl up in this narrow place. Look, even my feet can't be fully accommodated in this place. I had to bend it and sleep in a snuggled position like a baby in the womb. And my eyes slowly closed again.
“Laurel, you don't want to wake up? My baby Laurel?”
Hah? What? Who called me in such a disgusting voice? Nobody ever called me that. Not even my mother.
Instantly I opened my eyes, surprised to see Kane's face that was right above me. The man flashed an extremely disgusting seductive smile, as if he was trying to lure a woman in a bar.
I blinked my eyes many times, frozen to s

"What are we going to do after this?" That's the fifth question I've asked Kane today. He was probably tired of hearing the same questions from me and this time chose to ignore me. I'm really bored. There's nothing we can do in these conditions. The snow was falling harder and harder outside. When I watched the morning news on tv an hour ago the news anchor told me about the possibility that today's blizzard would only stop at night. Everyone is advised not to leave the house unless there is an urgent need. The local government made an announcement asking shop owners to close immediately as the storm would continue to worsen into the evening. Automatically there is no activity in the middle of the city. This city became like a dead city that was very quiet. Even the hotel staff are not in complete formation. The cooker told us when we were about to order breakfast that he was taking longer to deliver the breakfast due to a large number of orders from visitors, while four of

"Come in. You have to see the inside." Kane said as he pulled my hand to enter the new house we were going to live in. I continued to follow his footsteps with a feeling of excitement and nervousness. I still can't believe that I now have my own house. After this I'm going to live here with Kane and I really have to be the perfect ideal wife. But if Kane's phobia has not completely healed, then my dreams of being the perfect ideal wife will just disappear. Today I had to dress up in a tacky style again in front of him because Kane's strange phobia flared up after I teased him in Switzerland. It was indeed a very chaotic honeymoon. We planned to stay in Switzerland for a week, but suddenly Kane canceled the plan for various reasons. His deteriorating condition was the first reason. Then the second reason, he told me he had an urgent meeting with his client that he couldn't postpone. So after our condition improved on the third day, Kane immediately booked a plane tick

Ughh.. It's tiring. What an annoying man! I had to unpack up all our stuff, while he actually enjoyed his time off by swimming in the backyard. He thinks I'm a servant here? Huh, that really sucks. I didn't stop grumbling while cleaning this house. I don't clean all these rooms in this house of course since this house is too big to handle on my own. But at least I need to clean the room that will become our room and the kitchen. Those are mandatory places on my list to clean. The room we are going to be in is very messy. I need to do a lot of things to beautify this room. Now in my hands I have collected a lot of cardboard and plastic waste that I found in this house. Kane had bought some furniture before and it had a lot of cardboard and plastic that I needed to throw away after I took it apart. “Kane, where's the trash can? I want to throw all of this away.” I screamed by the pool while waiting for him to emerge from the water. I looked up and saw Kane had

"How, is it delicious?" After changing clothes, I decided to cook in the kitchen. Kane was actually planning to order pizza, but I forbade it and preferred to make a bowl of chicken soup instead. After all, pizza is not good for health because it contains too much fat and oil. It's healthier to cook your own food at home. I finally decided to make him some soup. Eating soup after swimming is believed to make the body fresh and warm again. "Not bad. At least this soup is still edible and doesn't poison me." "Okay, whatever you want. Right now I'm not in the mood to reply to you," I said sarcastically as I scooped the soup into my mouth. We both ate in silence. Neither of us spoke. Only the clinking of spoons against plates filled the silence between us. Kane seems to be enjoying my cooking. He didn't say much after shoving the soup into his mouth. I glanced at him repeatedly to make sure the facial expressions that were printed there were only expressi

I bit my lower lip nervously over and over again. It would be very dangerous if today Kane met with Vella. The man must have been very shocked and also sad. I have to keep Kane away from Vella. But the woman had already walked too close to Kane and Stephi's table. Fortunately, the man's sitting position turned his back to Vella's direction, so he had not yet realized Vella's presence in this club. Arghh, God how is this? At least give me a chance to cure his phobia first so he won't be too surprised when he meets Vella. “Kane, help me. I'm having a problem," I told him over the phone. Now I have no other choice, but to call him and tell him to get out of here immediately. I saw Vella turn to greet one of her friends who was dancing on the dance floor, so I had the opportunity to keep Kane away from Vella. "Where are you? What happened?" Kane asked while looking for me here and there. I immediately hid my body between the table and chair. I had to lie

I stomped my feet in annoyance as I stepped out of the bathroom. The image of Kane teasing me on purpose by almost kissing me is still dancing in my mind. I once again cursed my stupidity for having been deceived by Kane. I should have anticipated that. Wasn't when we just got married I was furious when Kane was about to kiss me? But why now do I want to kiss Kane? Argh! It must be because I watch dramas too much. After this I will burn all my drama DVD collection and I will tell Tina to stop lending me her drama DVDs. Because it is proven that the dramas have poisoned my brain very horribly. I walked to our bed, and immediately dropped my body just like that on the bed. Instantly the bed immediately moved irregularly and also creaked loudly. Kane opened his eyes wide and immediately pulled me closer to him. Luckily I'm not the type of vengeful wife, so as soon as he grabbed my hand, I immediately obeyed and immediately positioned myself to lie down next to him. "Wha

“Kane, are you awake? Let's have breakfast together, I've already made you a bowl of beef curry,” I shouted as I poked my head through the door. I thought Kane hadn't woken up yet, but it turned out that the man was neatly dressed in his blue shirt and a black striped tie on his right hand. Seeing him holding a tie made me have an idea to tie a tie for him. I often see a scene where a woman is putting a tie on her man in the dramas I watch. And it always manages to create a sweet moment with your partner. This time I will also do it to make a sweet moment with Kane. "Kane, give me your tie, I'll put it on for you." Kane looked unsure of my idea, but he ended up handing the tie to me. "Are you sure you can do it? Making knots for ties?” "Of course. I'm really good at putting on ties. I have learned how to tie a tie through the dramas I watch often. So you take it easy. I can do it." With great enthusiasm, I began to do the steps on how

I walked slowly into the yard of my house which looked deserted. From the outside I saw absolutely no sign of life inside the house. Maybe mom isn't home yet or she's making something in the kitchen. But the car that my mother used to use was still beautifully parked in the garage. It means that mom is in the house and is not going anywhere. "Mother." I call her loudly from the front door. A few minutes later mother came from upstairs, her face pale and with a hint of fear. Mom didn't immediately approach me who was standing in the front room and she instead froze at the end of the stairs for a few seconds. “Mom, are you all right?” My mom suddenly gasped as if my voice had startled her. She then trotted over to me and shook my shoulder hard. “Laurel, tell me what happened. You have to explain everything to me. What have I seen in your house?” After shaking my body hard, my mother suddenly grabbed my hand and immediately dragged
