“You have to leave Dave.”
That morning Jim called her. Last night he called her many times, but Angel was too busy crying in pain and could not pick up. Now Angel had calmed down, determined to face it all. This risk she has to take; she married Dave on her own decision, because she was deceived by his sweet attitude and fake love. Now she is trapped in his hatred for some reason. Moreover, she does not want to involve anyone and hurt the people she cares.
“I can handle it, Jim.”
“But he was so rude yesterday, tugging on your arm like that!” Jim sounded furious. “I would never be that rude to any woman.”
Angel took a deep breath. Her eyes filled with tears. Suddenly she missed her peaceful life, when she could enjoy a quiet day behind the green color and the beauty of the flowers in her glass house. Now, Angel does not even dare to visit her greenhouse.
“I'll try to find an explanation for all o

Dave's memory drifted to his past memories. Almost seven years ago, when he was only twenty-five and so was Daisy.Daisy was his twin sister; they were not identical twins that are why they were of the opposite sex, and not so much alike. However, they both receive the gift of the physical advantages of their parents. Dave is so handsome and Daisy is so beautiful.Dave of course really loves his sister; his sister is the only one in his family that he really cares. As for their parents, it could be said that their parents' relationship had been broken for a long time; they maintained the marriage only for the sake of status in front of people.Their mother was very busy with various kinds of business as the wife of a wealthy official. Especially their father; the man always comes home every day, but is almost never close to his wife and children, as if there is a barrier that prevents his love for his children.Dave was a man and he was tough. He was used

Dave froze even though his whole being was like being struck by lightning. Are they not their father's children? How could that be? Is his mother having an affair with another man?Nevertheless, the results of the investigation gave Dave an answer as why his father did not seem to care about them, why his father did not have the slightest love for them. It turned out to be because of this, because they were not their father's biological children, and because they somehow seemed to symbolize their father's betrayal, the betrayal of his unloved wife.Then of course, it was natural for their father that he would devote all his attention to Angel, that girl, his flesh and blood, his biological child from the woman Dave was sure he loved very much.“Did you say this to Daisy too?”The investigator looked at Dave regretfully. “Of course I did. Again, I'm just doing what I have to do.”No wonder Daisy was devastated by it. She had

“You can't see Jim again and you can't run the greenhouse anymore.” Dave went straight to Angel that night in his room, as usual came in without permission and was arrogant.For Dave, this is one of his revenge plans, holding Angel from all his passions. He knew she loved her greenhouse very much, and not being able to take care of her greenhouse would be very painful for her.Angel looked up, looked at Dave tiredly. He suddenly noticed that she looked paler and looked sick. His heart throbbed, but then he immediately brushed off any feelings that had arisen. There must be no mercy, if he wants his goal to be achieved, he must be able to be cruel.“Why can’t I?” Angel asked then.Dave raised an eyebrow. “You have no right to ask. I am your husband, whatever my decision you must follow it.”What kind of husband treats his wife like this? Unknowingly Angel grimaced.“Did you do it on pur

Late at night, Dave just got home from his office. The man only came home after ten o'clock at night, almost every day. Angel couldn’t help but wonder, did Dave really go to work? As far as she knows, no one works from morning to ten at night, only workaholics do.Did Dave avoid it? Or is he… spending time with someone?Jealousy gripped her heart and made her feel sad. How pathetic she was. Dave had treated her so cruelly, but she still had a crush on him. When Dave saw Angel sitting on the front sofa and reading a novel she had found on the bookshelf, he stopped and frowned.“Why have not you fallen asleep yet?” he asked.Angel looked at Dave painfully, and then looked away, trying to hide his expression. “I am reading a book.”“Oh.” Dave looked confused as to what to say, and then his eyes hardened again. “Have you bought a dress yet? The party is this weekend, in a few days.”An

It was almost past midnight, when the party and all the rush to tidy it up were over. Dave carefully opened Angel's unlocked door. The room was dark and dim, but in the middle of the bed, under the dim moonlight coming in through the glass above the window, he could clearly see Angel's body lying face down on the bed.Slowly, trying not to make a sound, Dave pulled up a chair and brought it closer to the edge of the bed. He sat there, with his body half bent, hands on his elbows and eyes staring intently at her.With the help of the moonlight, Dave could see Angel's face slanted towards him and he could tell, there were dry, tear marks on her cheeks. Once again, Angel cried again until she fell asleep.Dave's heart ached. At first, he thought that hurting Angel repeatedly, making her cry all the time until she was almost insane would satisfy his aching and vengeful heart. It would allow him to shake off the feeling of a gaping wound when he looked at Daisy's pit

The two of them looked at each other with concern and pale faces. Angel herself was so worried. Her husband treated her badly and now she is pregnant, pregnant not from the fruit of her marital love but from the coercion that her husband put on her.How will Dave treat his son later, while he was treating Angel like this? How will this child grow? Will Dave treat them badly?Suddenly the instinct to protect her child grew from Angel's mind; she immediately wrapped her arms around her and hugged her stomach warily. If Dave wants to hurt her baby, it means she has to fight; yesterday Angel gave up because she felt she was alone, now she has a baby growing in her womb and she has to fight to protect her child.“You should go to the doctor.” Dave looked at Angel who was hugging her stomach while frowning. “We're going to the doctor now.”“I can go alone.” Angel suddenly wanted to keep Dave as far away from her future child

Dave came home still with a pounding heart, confused what to do. On the one hand, he feels compelled to carry out what he calls a revenge plan, but on the other, his rebellious conscience reminds him that Angel is pregnant with his child.Angel was waiting for him, staring at him with her wide beautiful eyes in the living room. God knows how long she waited for him. Shouldn't she be asleep already? Aren't pregnant women supposed to sleep early?Dave glanced at his watch. It was almost twelve o'clock. He then mumbled coldly to Angel, “Shouldn't you be asleep already?”“I'm waiting for you, we have to talk,” Angel replied curtly, looking at him with determination.Dave frowned. If he did not come home tonight and decided to stay at home for Daisy, would his wife wait for him until morning?“We'll talk tomorrow, I'm tired.”“Is there another woman, Dave?”Dave who was about to leave the roo

Where does she want to take Dave's son later? Will she run into Jim's arms and then make Jim the father of his child?Dave grimaced angrily. No! Dave would not let Angel run back into Jim's arms. All this time he had been holding back hatred for the man, Jim, the man who was too close to Angel. He would not allow his son who is now in Angel's belly near Jim.Dave will defend Angel and his son to the death to always by his side.***"So you're leaving?"Jim sounded excited when Angel called him that night; Angel took a deep breath and subconsciously nodded her head, forgetting that Jim could not see her."Angel?"
