The Woman From Hell

The sudden change of atmosphere disoriented me.

Marius laughed in the next second again. "I just want to prove my devotion. Let's watch TV."

He picked up the remote control as he said that and put on a TV show.

Seeing the sincerity in his eyes, my heart trembled.

He seemed to understand a lot of things in that instant.

Yet I could not answer his questions.

Nearing ten o'clock, Marius took me to the room "No one's lived here before, but my housekeeper comes and cleans it every week, so it's in pristine shape." He turned on the lights, and the room became bright.

The interior was simple with fresh colors. Marius adjusted the warm light, making the whole room look much warmer.

"Is this okay?"

"Yes, it's not bad." I walked into the room and looked at the furnishing.

There was nothing on the dressing table. One could tell that no one had stayed here. The blanket and the bed sheets looked new without wrinkles.

Marius stood at the door. "Sleep early, Sis Wan. I'll go back to my room now."

"Uhm, Marius... Thank you."

All I could do now was to say thank you.
