The Woman From Hell

Early the next morning, I went to Marius' place unrelentingly.

The smell of beer greeted me the moment I entered the room. I knew then that Shannon had not woken up.

Marius leaned against the door. He looked at me while brushing his teeth. "I called you before you came. There's nothing I can do."

He bit his toothbrush and spread his hands wide. His helpless appearance was rather amusing.

Seeing that Shannon was still sleeping soundly, I could not bear to wake her up. I decided to let her sleep for a while more.

"I've put breakfast on the table. You can eat after you wash up. We'll let Shannon sleep a little more."

She must definitely be suffering after drinking so much.

Marius washed up and got changed before coming out of the bedroom. He pulled the chair opposite me out and sat down. "Shannon, drunk as she was, kept cursing Jordan last night. That's her husband, right?" Cursing Jordan?

I frowned. "That's not right. They're such a loving couple. Even if they did argue, Shannon wouldn't be like this."

I heard a sigh. Marius was shaking his head. "I'm afraid it's not that simple. I heard something about him having an affair and cheating..."
