Burning Passion: Love Never Die

With his hands clasped behind his back, Hans bellowed with a forceful intensity, striving to salvage his reputation.

His intent was to turn Millie into a laughingstock within the town. Moreover, rural communities tended to be lenient with boys and strict with girls.

In the countryside, gossip could be a lethal weapon. Once, in this very town, a girl who was found exiting a widower’s room was branded as indecent. Young and unable to withstand the crushing weight of the rumors, she tragically took her own life not long after.

Hans aimed to besmirch Millie’s reputation, tarnishing her family’s standing before her grandmother’s return and ensuring their ostracism.

Millie, however, responded with a scornful laugh, deciding to withhold any effort to save his face.

“Then, I sincerely wish you a swift discovery of a suitable daughter-in- law. However, most men around Roland’s age in this town are already married with children who can toddle about. Why is Roland without a girlfriend? Didn*t you boast of your annual earnings amounting to hundreds of thousands? Why would these young women opt for ordinary families over yours? By the way, I’ve heard whispers that when your wife struggled to conceive, you visited the andrology department for a check-up, after which she miraculously became pregnant. One wonders if your ailment might have a hereditary inclination.”

Hans simmered with rage, his impulse urging him to deliver a slap to Millie, Discussing such topics was taboo among men, and he hadn’t anticipated Millie’s audacity to publicly insinuate his son’s inadequacy.
