Chapter 7

Celine dejectedly uttered a murmured lament as her eyes drifted to the timepiece on the wall. The food on the table has been cold since nine o’clock this evening.

Celine made a meal for Leon, however her effort was in vain as he did not come back home. She left the dining room with a broken heart and a quaking shoulder.

Did I make a mistake again? I have been following his regulations, so why is he displeased now? Celine utters as she slams the door to the main bedroom.

Celine flung the wine in exasperation on the side table. She notices Leon imbibing it each night before retiring.

I will be accompanied by you for the night since my harsh and icy husband slighted me! Celine uttered with enthusiasm as she filled the glass with wine. Not wasting time, she drank it ... bottom up!

(Cough! cough!)

“God! Why is it so strong!” Celine complained after a series of coughs. She could still feel the alcohol sketching down her throat and its heat on her stomach.
