Crystal's POV:

I hid in my room all day and racked my brains for a solution out of this deadlock, but to no avail.

Rufus seemed to have me wrapped around his finger, not to mention the fact that we had already had sex. Now our relationship was even messier!

I ran my fingers through my hair in distress. I couldn't hide here forever. Rufus would definitely return sooner or later.

Rufus had only left me alone this morning because I had made trouble out of nothing.

"How about we escape? Just hide in a remote place. Maybe Rufus won't find you," Yana suggested after a while.

I pursed my lips. It didn't sound like a feasible idea. After all, I hadn't fully recovered yet, and I couldn't even walk by myself.

More importantly, my kids were still here. I couldn't just leave them. If it came to it, they had to be mentally prepared first, and I needed to come up with the perfect plan.

The more I thought about it, the more upset I became. I rolled over in bed in frustration.

"Honey, don't be upset. Just do things one step at a time. Keep up the ignorant act for now," Yana suggested in an effort to comfort me.
