View MoreVenna and Maureen sat in the back of the taxi, the city's lights blurring past the windows as they hurried to Amethyst's apartment. The air was thick with worry and anticipation. They couldn't help but worry because, after he left and told them he had to go home to his family house, Venna and Maureen didn't receive any news. Now that Amethyst was back in her apartment, they could breathe a little easier.Amethyst's unexpected text message had been brief but alarming, hinting at something serious. Because Venna and Maureen know that when he texts about his family, he doesn't mean well. They hadn't heard from her since she left for her family's house, and now they could only imagine what might have happened.Amethyst was definitely not in the mood. They have never seen her cry, but they know that Amethyst is only human and hurts too, even if she doesn't show it to them.Venna glanced at her phone, rereading Amethyst's message for what felt like the hundredth time. "Maureen, what do you
The tension in the house was palpable. Almost all the maids had no intention of speaking or approaching them, even though they knew that there was already a lot of food scattered on the dining table. They also don't like it because they don't want to be embroiled in family trouble, and they might even be the ones to turn their temper on them.After the confrontation at the dining table, Amethyst retreated to her room, her mind racing with thoughts and emotions she could no longer suppress. Sometimes she doesn't really understand this family, and sometimes Amethyst doesn't know where she fits in this family. She knows that they don't care about women; she knows that for them there is nothing for them, but now, now, do they have the courage to hurt?The pain and frustration that had been building up inside her for years finally reached a breaking point.She couldn't take the hypocrisy and cruelty of her family any longer.She should not be condemning this anymore.She stormed back into
Because of what Amethyst said, the dining room was silent. The surrounding area was immediately surrounded by tension after Amethyst's declaration that she would not allow them to be controlled.Immediately, Carl's face, which had been relatively calm before, changed. Carl's face was a mask of rage, his fists clenching and unclenching on the table.Amethyst couldn't believe she had a father like this, and Carl couldn't believe he had a daughter like this either.Both of them think like this."How dare you defy me?" he hissed, his voice low and dangerous.Because of his power in the family, no one defies his wishes. Also, because of the family's teaching, whoever is the patriarch has strength in the family. Now that Amethyst had declared that she would not control them, she felt like she had been slapped in the face.No one has ever done this to him.Before Amethyst could react, Carl's hand shot out, striking her across the face. The slap echoed through the room, and Amethyst staggered
The family gathered around the dining table for a meal, the tension from the previous night lingering in the air. Well, no one else knows about the conversation between Amethyst's aunt and her father, which is why others are wondering about the tension around them.Well, that's not new either, because Amethyst is here and eating with them.Amethyst sat quietly, pushing her food around her plate as she tried to gather the courage to speak. She is not afraid, so she has no courage. Amethyst is not afraid of herself but of her mother and aunt. After all, when she leaves here, those two girls will be left at home.She had spent the entire day thinking about what she needed to say, and now, as her family chatted around her, she knew the moment had come.She can't postpone it anymore because her father and three brothers might get the right time and chances.Carl, her father, sat at the head of the table, his demeanor as stern as ever. He was talking to Larry about their business, and as us
The tension at the breakfast table was palpable. Well, it's always like this whenever they eat together. If it was possible, Amethyst wouldn't want to eat with them anymore. Amethyst sat with her head down, her eyes reflecting a sense of hopelessness that did not go unnoticed by her aunt, Alice. Her aunt, Alice, has always been keen. He is more observant than Carl. Maybe that's the reason it's still alive. Her keen eye made her live this long.Seeing her niece's distress, Alice decided it was time to intervene.She has been silent several times, but now she won't let her say anything. Alice does not want to repeat what happened to her other two nieces."Carl, this isn't fair," Alice said, her voice steady but firm. He couldn't understand why his brother had the same attitude as their father. "You can't place this burden on Amethyst's shoulders. She deserves to choose her own path, just like anyone else."Of course, that's because he knows the reason why he wants to marry Amethyst to s
The next morning, Amethyst sighed when she got up. That's why she doesn't want to go home to her family's house and sleep here; she doesn't get rest but tiredness.The family gathered around the breakfast table. The smell of eggs and bacon filled the air, but the atmosphere was nothing but tension.Amethyst is still unable to get used to the atmosphere of the whole family when they are together, especially when eating. He doesn't know because sometimes Amethyst feels like she's at her funeral, and sometimes she feels like she's at a business meeting.Amethyst sat quietly, picking at her food, while Carl's voice cut through the room like a knife.Still, nothing has changed. It's early morning, but the mouth still doesn't stop scolding Amethyst. This is also one of the reasons why Amethyst is so tired of this family.Besides being biased towards men, they also don't care about her. Well, Amethyst doesn't care about them either, but it's just tiring to act according to their wishes."Ame
Why is it that everyone can forget that? Good thing she remembered.Amethyst had always known, deep down, that her place in the family was different. Because her family is different from everyone else, and the reason why her family is different from everyone else is the reason why Amethyst wants to get out of this family to the point that she wishes she was not born here. It was an unspoken rule, a legacy passed down through generations, that women in their family were seen as lesser. Amethyst doesn't know why this is still being preached to them when there are many more capable women than men. Just like her, Amethyst is more capable than her three brothers.The patriarchy had roots that dug deep, starting with her great-grandfather and continuing through her father and brothers.What a pity. Amethyst knows that this will be the reason for the downfall of her family.How did he say it? There are no women in this world who will accept being treated like trash. She doesn't even know how
Amethyst just sighed. He really doesn't want to go home, but he can't do anything because his father and brothers won't stop him if he doesn't go home.What else do they need from her? She knows that whenever her father and three older brothers are like this, something bad will happen.She has a hunch.Even before she entered, she took a deep breath. It must be a long battle between her and her family.As soon as Amethyst set foot in her family's house, the door barely closed behind her when her father's voice sliced through the air.It's been said that she didn't make a mistake. These people definitely have something bad to say.It's tiring.Amethyst is getting tired of this setup all the time."Amethyst! Do you have any idea what time it is?" Carl's voice boomed from the living room.Because Amethyst was already expecting this, she didn't panic anymore. For where else? Panic or not, it makes no difference.Might as well stay calm.She took a deep breath and walked in, her shoulders
Amethyst sat quietly in the backseat of the taxi, the city lights blurring past through the rain-speckled window. He was biting his lower lip because of the series of misfortunes he had in his life. Add to that the pain that Dylan gave him.Amethyst was really wondering to herself, How did she manage all this?He came back to his senses when Amethyst heard the taxi driver's voice."Miss, are you okay? Where are you going?" asked the taxi driver.Hesitating whether to go or not, Amethyst still gave the address of her family's house. It's a villa in an exclusive subdivision; that's why, when the driver saw it, he was surprised. Even so, he did not speak or ask.The steady hum of the engine and the rhythmic patter of raindrops provided a soothing backdrop, but her mind was far from calm.It's really raining today. Heaven is with the pain he feels. How about it? At that dinner, even in front of you, Dylan was openly flirting with others.Yes, she has no right to be jealous, but doesn't sh
