Claire's eyes narrowed "What did you say?". Her voice was calm, yet, the anger laced in it was clear.
Venessa swallowed her saliva down her throat. Suddenly, her face was grabbed and drawn upwards by Claire's hands.
"Look here! Apart from sleeping with the women in this building, that is the only man I have slept with ever since I lost my husband. But the only reason I did that was that he had enough money for me to leave this wretched region and start a new life in another land".o
Venessa's face paled as the strength behind the grip rose. If it wasn't for the threat upon her life, she would have asked 'Then, doesn't that make you a slut?'.
"And if you think that I am slut like you who goes around sleeping with anybody around, then you are gravely mistakenly"
She added. She raised her hand higher.
Venessa's face contorted in pain and worry.
She thought 'Now you are just sounding like a hypocrite'. But, she didn't dare to voice it out.
