Chapter 5 Mr. and Mrs. Wright

"You belong only to me, and I will not let anyone else touch you! Do you understand that? Now hurry up and go to your room! I will never allow you to leave this house without my permission!" Demian commanded firmly.

"You're selfish, Demian! You can't have me while you're still with another woman! Anyway, with or without your permission, I will still leave this house. You have no right to stop me!" Elena insisted, still wanting to leave. However, Demian would not let it go.

"Elena, don't disobey! Don't make me act violently towards you! Besides, don't compare yourself to Bianca! She is only the mother of my children. I need descendants to be the successor of my family! Whereas you... you are my wife! The only woman I love! Until the end of time, you will remain my wife!"

Demian tried to grab Elena's hand, wanting to force her to come with him. However, Elena brushed him away roughly and tried to keep going.

"No! Let go of me! Don't force me! I don't want to go with you! I hate you! Hate you!" Elena screamed hysterically, struggling to break free from Demian's grip. However, the man held her tight.

"No, Elena! You can't leave! I love you! I can't live without you!" Demian's voice softened, sounding desperate. His eyes were teary as if feeling Elena's sadness.

"You're evil! You don't love me! If you loved me, you wouldn't have an affair! You wouldn't sleep with Bianca! You lied to me, Demian! "Elena sobbed.

"I know... I was wrong... Forgive me..." Demian said softly, still trying to calm Elena.

"You've been having an affair for ten years, Demian! Didn't you think that I was pregnant at the time?! We had just gotten married! What were you thinking to do this to me?"

Demian was silent. 'It's all my fault... I was drunk and I...' his voice choked." I can't run away from responsibility. She's my child."

The memory came back to Demian. The night before, he went to a bar with his business partner to celebrate the cooperation agreement. He was very drunk. When he woke up, he was in a hotel room with a woman-Bianca.

At the time, Demian thought everything would go smoothly. However, he was very wrong. A few months later, Bianca showed up with a growing belly, saying she was pregnant with his child.

At the same time, Elena had an accident and had to undergo immediate surgery. The bad news came in rapid succession. The doctor said that Elena had lost her fetus. Even more heartbreaking, her uterine wall was so badly damaged that it had to be removed. That meant that Elena would never be able to have children again.

Demian's parents, who knew Elena's condition, immediately urged him to divorce her. However, Demian refused. He then told them about Bianca, who was pregnant.

After much consideration, they all agreed to adopt the baby Bianca was carrying and raise her as Demian and Elena's child.

Since then, the baby boy, Nathan, has grown up with Elena. While Bianca continued her career as a model, she had a secret relationship with Demian. With the blessing of Demian's parents, this secret was kept well.

Hearing this explanation, Elena was devastated. Her heart felt broken.

"You can't hold me back, Demian! Let me go!"

"I won't let you go! You-"

"Let me go! "Elena screamed hysterically while pushing Demian's body with all her might.

Unintentionally, Nathan, who was standing behind her, was pushed too.

Bruk!

"Ahhh...!!! Dad!" Nathan cried in pain, holding his head, which had hit the corner of the table. Blood began to flow from the wound.

At the same time, the door of the house opened. Demian and Bianca's parents came in.

Their eyes widened immediately at the sight of Nathan lying on the floor.

"Nathan! Oh my God!" Mrs. Wright ran in a panic, immediately hugging Nathan." My dear grandson! Are you okay, son?"

Elena stared at them expressionlessly. However, deep down, there was guilt. After all, Nathan was the child she had fostered since childhood. The inner bond between them had formed naturally.

"Elena!" Mrs. Wright snapped, her voice filling the room." Is this what you've been doing all this time? Being rude to my grandchild?!"

Elena clenched her jaw, holding back from retaliating.

"Elena, why are you acting like this? Why did you act so harshly towards Nathan? "Bianca chimed in.

"I know Nathan is not your biological son, but you shouldn't have treated him so harshly," Bianca continued, her voice full of sarcasm.

"That's right!" Mr. Wright added sarcastically. 'Nathan has been in your care for ten years, since he was a child. How could you bear to be so cruel to him? Don't take out your anger on a child, he doesn't know anything!'

Mrs. Wright sighed deeply. Her eyes stared at Elena full of hatred.

"Seeing your attitude like this, I am more and more convinced... God does not allow you to have children because of your bad heart!"

Elena clenched her fists tightly. She wanted to retort to every sentence they said, but they didn't give her a chance to speak.

At the same time, a soft, pretentious voice was heard.

"Dad, Mom ..." Bianca sounded sweet. 'Maybe Elena is not in a good mood. We must help her solve her problems; we can't keep blaming her.'

Mrs. Wright was silent momentarily, but her anger was still clearly visible.

"Look!" she fumed. 'Even Bianca, who is not married, can understand this! But why don't you, Elena? You treat your husband and children badly!'

Elena bit her lip, her hands trembling with emotion. She glared at Demian, hoping the man would defend her. But Demian remained silent, allowing everyone to attack him without saying anything.

Mr. Wright stepped forward. "As a wife, being gentle to your husband is a must! Right now, apologize to your husband and children!" he said firmly.

"That's right!" Mrs. Wright replied." Apologize quickly before things get worse!"

Elena felt a tightness in her chest. She looked around the room, hoping someone would be on her side. However, no one was there.

Then, a soft voice was heard.

"Grandma, Grandpa... He also slapped me. Look at my face, it hurts so much, Grandma. "

"What?!" Mrs Wright's eyes widened at Nathan's words.

Without thinking, she slapped Elena on the cheek.

Smack!

The slap was so hard that Elena staggered back. Her cheeks felt hot and throbbing.

For a moment, she was speechless. Then, without hesitation, she turned to face Demian and quickly stepped.

Smack!

A hard slap landed on the man's face.

Here is the revision by changing Damian's name to Demian:

The room was instantly silent.

Demian turned slowly, his expression shocked. Everyone's eyes widened, disbelieving that Elena had dared to do it.

"My God, Elena! What have you done?!" Mrs Wright screamed in panic.

Mr. Wright was silent; Bianca closed her mouth, shocked by what had happened.

Elena took a deep breath, her eyes staring at Demian, full of hatred.

"Why?" her voice was cold. 'Wasn't this slap hard enough to wake you up?'

Before anyone could react, Elena swung her arm again.

*Plak!*

The second slap landed again on Demian's face.

Bianca, standing nearby, immediately tried to stop Elena, but...

*Plak!*

The slap now landed on Bianca's cheek.

Bianca was startled, her face flushed with anger. "Elena! Why did you slap me too?!"

Elena smiled sarcastically. "Because you deserve it too!"

"Elena, you've gone too far! "Demian shouted, standing in front of Bianca to protect her.

Elena laughed coldly, her eyes burning with anger.

"Why? Do you want me to slap your mother too?"

She stepped forward, raising her hand.

"Don't!"
