Chapter 8

Mira woke up later than usual because her sleep was disturbed by nightmares. Dressing quickly after a hasty shower, Mira prepared to go down and face her husband's anger, because which man would not hate the woman who refused him on their first night?

What Mira did last night was a shame, but she didn't regret it. Feeling without feeling with a man who almost never talks to her will betray all her beliefs about the meaning of the most intimate action between men and women

Even though the man she had refused made her body feel heavy by a very hot and blinding passion, making her question her own heart.

Cold ran through Mira's spine when she thought of that treacherous thought. As she blinked, she repelled the thought, even though she knew that the piercing heat would not disappear easily. Not when she became the wife of the man who confused herself.

Suspecting there would be resistance, Mira closed her jaw firmly and forced herself to leave her room. But what was found downstairs was far more disturbing than an angry husband. Suitcase suitcases line along the corridor, some of which belong to her.

Shaken, Mira walked into the living room and saw Loise leaning over the table, signing something. "We will go?"

Dark brown Loise hair glittered under the sunlight coming in through the window. He looked up at Mira before returning to his letter. "Yes. One more hour "with a streak, he signed another line.

Loise looked at her. "Did you read the encyclopedia at leisure?"

Because that was what he did, Mira frowned at Loise's mocking tone. "Encylopedia is very informative" and Mira was thirsty for information.

Mira's father did not approve of higher education for women, but Mira managed to educate herself, first through book books, then through the internet, which she did secretly from a computer in the study room. As a matter of fact, Mira protested the injustice she experienced because she was not given the opportunity to enjoy higher education as she had obtained from her two brothers who did not like to study, but then realized that her petition was left over.

"What's your favorite topic?" Loise's question that didn't sound cynical surprised Mira, removing her from her gloomy mood.

"You don't make fun of me?" Mira didn't understand Loise's curiosity. Her husband did not react as expected. Instead of continuing to save anger for their failed first night, Loise seemed to be trying to get her to talk.

The pair of sharp eyes seemed to narrow "no"
