Jerome Davidson came from a background that was even more impoverished than Fabian's. Orphaned at a young age, he was raised solely by his grandfather. Despite his circumstances, Jerome was tall and handsome, with a commendable academic record. Aware of his In the village, Jerome, a university student, became the role model for the entire village. His name was frequently mentioned, always accompanied by lavish praises. The two families lived close by, and Fabian was often compared with Jerome.

After completing his master's degree, Jerome began teaching at a local high school, while Fabian dropped out halfway through his studies. He tried working a few jobs, but none lasted long. With each mention of his situation by the villagers, he became increasingly reclusiv After the passing of Jerome's grandfather, he was the only one left in the family. Despite having no house, no car, and not much in terms of savings, his own merits made him a sought-

after bachelor. Numerous suitors came knocking at his door, but Jerome turned them all away.

It wasn't until a couple of years ago that Jerome went home during All Souls' Day to pay respects at his grandfather's grave. A girl accompanied him, and it was only when his uncle, who lived nearby, asked about her that it was revealed she was his girlfriend. His girlfrien The villagers lavished praise and admiration, drawing comparisons with Fabian, who was still living off his parents at home. With his less-than-stellar appearance and lack of skills, Fabian increasingly seemed to have no redeeming qualities.

Back then, both Fabian and Jerome were thirty years old. Their peers, guys of the same age, already had sons. Yet, these two were the only ones who remained unmarried.

The villagers claimed that one of them didn't want to replace a partner, while the other just couldn't replace one. If Jerome had wanted to replace a partner, he would have immediately found a good one. On the other hand, Fabian's parents had pleaded and begged and set up countle Later, it was said that Jerome had married his girlfriend, who brought along a house as part of her dowry. Apart from visiting his grandfather's grave, Jerome seldom returned to the village.

Fabian mostly kept to himself at home, rarely venturing outside. He didn't go to work or do any chores Moreover, he would occasionally lash out at his parents.

Had it been merely a matter of being compared to by the villagers, Fabian wouldn't have harbored such intense resentment toward Jerome.

There was a hidden story within.

Years ago, a matchmaker had proposed a marriage prospect to Jerome. The woman in question was, well aware that Jerome was a postgraduate, held a respectable job, and earned a handsome salary. Upon seeing his tall stature and good looks, she was immediately

Subsequently, Fabian, with the help of Winona, hoisted Lenora onto Norman's back. Without delay, the family hurried back to their village.

Upon entering the house, Norman placed Lenors on the bed in the room. Winona found a hemp rope as thick as a water pipe and tied one end to Lenora's ankle and the other to the bedpost. Although crudely made from wood, the bed was incredibly solid.

"Fabian, listen to me. If she steps out of line, don't hesitate to discipline her, and do it harshly. That's the only way to keep a woman in check," Norman said.

Fabian stared straight at Lenora, a hint of impatience in his tone. "Dad, I get it. You guys can leave now," he

said.

Norman and Winona observed their son's growing impatience. Without a word, they turned around and exited the room, even going as far as to lock the door from the outside. Only Lenora and Fabian were left in the room.

Fabian found himself increasingly drawn to Lenora, his gaze fixed on her. He moved toward the large bed.

Lenora warily eyed him, shifting further in. "Stay away!

Unfazed, Fabian climbed onto the large bed, positioning himself over Lenora. "You're truly beautiful If you stay with me, I promise to treat you well. However, if you're thinking of running away- "Do you even realize that human trafficking is illegal? The police will be on to us any

minute-

A flicker of irritation flashed in Fabian's eyes. He quickly covered Lenora's mouth, snapping. "Shut up!"

Lenora's preachy attitude instantly reminded him of Jerome.

"I couldn't care less about what's legal or not. All I know is that I've paid for you to be my wife! Once you have our child, you'll change your tune!" he said.

A wave of nausea stirred within Lenora when she saw the dirt lodged under his fingernails. She fought hard to turn her head away, struggling desperately.

Fabian's annoyance only escalated. With his other hand, he grabbed Lenora's coat, yanking it backward, causing the hem of her knitted sweater to flip up. He was intent on pushing her vest further.

Lenora was both anxious and desperate inside. Without a care for the consequences, he bit down on Fabian's finger.

In pain, Fabian hastily withdrew his hand. Recalling his father's words, he slapped Lenora's face twice. "I dare you to bite me again! You wretched woman!"

Lenora's ears buzzed, and her cheeks burned hot. As she came back to her senses, she saw Fabian's big yellow teeth approaching, accompanied by waves of bad breath.

He wanted to kiss her.

Lenora was startled. Not knowing where she found the strength, she twisted her upper body to the left, and with a sudden jerk of her bent knees, she pushed Fabian away. He slid to the edge of the bed and, unable to steady himself, rolled off the bed. Lenora let out a sigh of relief for the moment, struggling to sit up from the bed. However, he noticed Fabian beneath the bed, completely motionless.

She leaned forward to take a look, her eyes widening in surprise.

There was a wooden table conveniently located beside the bed. When Fabian rolled off the bed, he hit his

head on the corner of the table, knocking him unconscious and causing a significant amount of blood to

flow.

Unconsciously, Lenora let out a sigh of relief, completely disregarding Fabian

Her feet were bound by a rope, limiting her distance from the bed. All she could do was hastily rub the rope on her wrists against the edge of the bed.

After she exerted an unimaginable amount of effort, the rope finally wore through. Her wrists were chafed raw, bleeding slightly, but at least her hands were free to move again.

She was about to untie the ropes on her feet when Winona's voice suddenly echoed from outside the door. "Fabian, it's been an hour. How's it going? Is it done yet?

A jolt of anxiety surged through Lenora's heart. She held her breath, hastening her actions.

When Winona didn't hear any response from Fabian, she used her keys to unlock the door. The sight that met her eyes was a shocking one. Fabian was on the floor, surrounded by traces of blood. Her eyes widened in horror as she rushed over to him. She screamed at th quick!"
