Mag-log in“You murderer!” No A resounding slap followed those words from Katrina’s Mother-in-law. The entire extended family gasped in shock but no one made a move to help. Not even Katrina’s husband, Damon Winchester. He just stood there, watching lazily, like he always did while his mother berated her for every little thing. But this wasn’t little, no. This was more than the fine china dishes that were one of the family’s heirlooms which Katrina broke last thanksgiving and earned her harsh insults from her mother-in-law. This was nothing like the family dinner she made last Christmas that caused half the kitchen to catch fire, needing a renovation. This couldn't be compared to that afternoon in summer, when she knocked over an antique vase while dusting, freezing as it cracked clean down the middle and her mother-in-law murmured that Katrina’s touch spoiled anything of value. No. This was the death of the only woman who loved someone as unlovable as Katrina. The woman who raised her. The woman who constantly fought for Katrina’s place in the Winchester Family even when she didn’t belong. Alana Winchester, Damon’s grandmother. Like every other thing, it was all her fault. Everything Katrina touched turned to ashes.

Preface
The story of a strong, influential, and well-respected man in society, who has sex as his weak point. He was carried away by the touch of young girls till he got lost. His wife after years of being angry with his sexual habit resolved to save him with the same thing he loves most, which is also his weak point- sex. Later she realized that she did not just save her home and marriage, but also her husband's life, call, and career. Nwoko Solomon Ikechukwu
"Honey, are you sleeping? Please let's have romantic sex before you sleep" Solomon, Happiness' husband said to his wife.
"You have to wait, I'm very tired. Better still, leave it till tomorrow," Happiness, Solomon's wife replied.
"I know that you are tired because of office stress. But please give me a few minutes of your time. I miss you so much. And you know, it has been a long time since we had romantic sex" Solomon said.
"This is what I hate about you, you are always stubborn when it comes to sex. I said I'm tired, I'm stressed, wait or leave it till tomorrow. You have not even gotten any sex and you are talking about romantic sex. You and who has that time for kissing and romancing? I tell you the truth, I don't have that strength now" Happiness replied angrily.
"I admire your hard work and appreciate your effort in supporting our family. But I am a young man, I need my wife. And you know that you are the only woman in my life, and you don't expect me to go outside, or do you?" Solomon was interrupted.
"I am sick and tired of you telling me I don't expect you to go out. If you want to go out, then go out. After all, you will not be the first, and also get ready to get what happens to men going outside their homes. Who even knows if you have not started going out" Happiness raged.
"I am so sorry, I just needed your attention. Please, I just need my wife," Solomon said.
CHAPTER EIGHTY-ONEKatelyn was starting to regret telling Stella about the date. Not because Stella reacted badly.Quite the opposite actually The woman had reacted like Katelyn had just announced a royal wedding.“It’s your first date in years!” Stella said for probably the tenth time in the last thirty minutes while aggressively digging through Katelyn’s wardrobe. “You cannot dress like you’re going to buy groceries.”Katelyn sat at the edge of her bed looking deeply unconvinced.“It’s just dinner.”Stella whipped around so fast she almost smacked herself with a hanger.“Just dinner?” she repeated in horror. “Katelyn Winchester—”“It’s not Winchester anymore.”“You know what I mean.” Stella waved dismissively before narrowing her eyes. “This man has been orbiting around you for months looking at you like you invented happiness itself and you think this is just dinner?”Katelyn sighed tiredly.Avery had already been dropped off at Stella’s house earlier for a sleepover with Stella’s t
CHAPTER EIGHTYDinner turned out a lot nicer than Katelyn expected.At first, she had honestly prepared herself for awkward silence and forced conversation. Especially after letting Kevin in so suddenly like that. But somehow, none of that happened.Instead, the atmosphere slowly became warm.Easy.Comfortable.Avery was mostly responsible for that.The little girl talked almost nonstop through dinner, happily swinging her legs beneath her chair while stuffing pasta into her mouth between words.“And then Mia almost cried because the ride was too high,” Avery explained dramatically.Kevin gasped softly. “Too high?”“Yes. Like…” Avery lifted her tiny hand upward. “Super high.”“That sounds terrifying.”“It wasn’t scary for me though,” Avery said proudly.“Of course not.” Kevin nodded seriously. “You’re obviously very brave.”“I know.”Katelyn laughed softly into her drink.Avery immediately pointed at her.“Mama was scared of the big rollercoaster too.”Katelyn blinked. “Excuse me?”“Y
CHAPTER SEVENTY-NINEKatelyn stared at her daughter across the dining table, completely caught off guard by the question. For a moment, she genuinely did not know what to say.Avery blinked at her innocently while waiting for an answer, twirling pasta around her fork like she hadn’t just turned her mother’s entire brain upside down.“Um…”Katelyn opened her mouth again.Then closed it. Because what exactly was she supposed to say to that?No, baby, he’s not going to be your father? Maybe? I don’t know? The child was only seven years old and somehow still managed to corner her emotionally better than most adults.Before Katelyn could force out a response, the sound of the doorbell suddenly echoed through the house.Relief hit her so quickly it was almost embarrassing.Saved by the bell.Literally.Katelyn exhaled quietly before standing up from the chair.“I’ll get that.”Avery immediately frowned. “But you didn’t answer my question.”Katelyn leaned down quickly and pressed a kiss again
CHAPTER SEVENTY-EIGHTBy the time Katelyn finally got Avery buckled into the backseat of the car, the little girl was still vibrating with excitement.“Mama, did you see me on the pirate ride?” Avery asked immediately the second Katelyn started the engine.Katelyn smiled faintly while pulling out of the parking lot. “Yes baby, the whole park did. You were screaming to be let out.” “I was not screaming.” Avery shot back. “I have a video.” Katelyn said, smirking. Her daughter couldn’t say anymore, she just huffed and crossed her arms. Katelyn laughed softly under her breath.The evening sun stretched warmly across the roads as they slowly drove away from the amusement park. Traffic was beginning to build slightly now with families returning home after long weekends and outings.Meanwhile Avery kept talking. And talking. Honestly, Katelyn didn’t know how one tiny human could have this many thoughts inside her head at once.“And then Chloe dropped her ice cream and stole Mia’s own and r
