They arrive at the mansion. Dylan entered the house with Liliah in his arms. The maids were staring at the spectacle with wide eyes.
Dylan: "Go and prepare the bath," he instructed the maids.
Maid: "Oh, okay, sir."
Dylan: "Take care of her," he murmured.
The maid turned towards Dylan.
Maid: "huh?"
Dylan shot them a glare. making the maid flee.
Dylan led her to her room. and placed on the bed. Liliah began to twist and turn.
"Since there are only a few days left to live, why not live happily?" The words of Liliah kept ringing in Dylan's mind.
Dylan covered her with a blanket and was about to leave me. Liliah suddenly stretched her arms and pulled Dylan in for a hug.
Liliah: "Please don't go," as she whispered while kissing Dylan's neck softly.
Dylan pushed Liliah a little bit. She brought his hand to touch her skin.
Liliah: "It's so hot. im uncomforable" she said and started to strip and pulled Dylan on top of her.
Suddenly, the door opened, revealing a girl, aka Dylan's girlfriend.
Hazel: "You..." She stood there, surprised by the sight.
Dylan saw her and stood up immediately.
Dylan: "Hazel?"
Hazel walked closer to them and began sobbing.
Hazel: "How can you do that?" she said and left the room.
Dylan: "Hazel," he called her, and he went behind her, leaving a drunk Liliah alone in her room.
Dylan went towards Hazel. And grabbed her hand.
Hazel: "Let go!" She shouted, making Dylan angry, and he slammed his hand into the wall.
Dylan: "Listen to me."
Hazel: "I don't want to," she said while shaking her head no.
Dyaln hugged Hazel.
Dylan: "I only like you," he said softly.
Hazel: "But what about that woman?"
Dylan: "You know why I married her. Didn't we agree before I married a woman who will die for you so that I can marry you in the future?"
Hazel: "Then why isn't she dead?"
Dylan: "HAZEL!" he shouted.
Hazel: "Am I wrong? You said there was a curse in your family: the first woman you married would die. You had to marry a crazy woman and wait until she died to marry me. I know you like me, but she's been living here for so many days already. Why hasn't she died?"
Dylan: "I always thought you were a nice girl; I never thought you would talk this way," he said a little angrily.
Hazel quickly changed her expression and hugged Dylan.
Hazel: "I'm just... indignant." You and that woman did like that just now, so I'm just feeling very hurt." she sobbed.
Dylan: "Ok, I got it. Actually, what happened just now was a misunderstanding. she got druged in the bar thats why" he wiped Hazel's tears.
Hazel: "How did you know she was drugged?" "Maybe she did it on purpose."
Dylan: "I saw it with my own eyes; she wouldn't risk her own reputation."
"That woman did it on purpose, but this would just anger him more—that damn girl really knows how to make people sympathize with her," Hazel thought.
NEXT MORNING
Liliah: "Ahh, my head hurts." Suddenly, she slightly remembers what happened yesterday.
Liliah: "Oh god, what even happened yesterday? It hurts bad." She got up, did her morning routines, and made her way downstairs.
Maid: "Tidy these things up." Miss Hazel hates the smell of tulips. Liliah heard the maid say
Liliah: "What's up?" She decided to ask them.
Maid1: "Miss Hazel is coming to stay for a few days, so sir wants us to do what Miss Hazel likes."
Maid2: "If it wasn't for the curse, Miss Hazel... " She was cut off by the other maid.
Maid1: "Stop it!" she whispered.
"If it wasn't for the curse, Haze would already be the Matthew family's young mistress; how can it be a woman like me who used to live in the mental hospital?" Liliah thought
Liliah: "alright"
Hazel came to the maids.
Hazel said, "Go and help me move everything from the car," as she demanded the maids.
Maid: "yes!"
Liliah was about to leave for her room but stopped when Hazel talked.
Hazel: "Stop there!"
Liliah: "Is there a problem?"
Hazel: "I asked them to unload my stuff; why aren't you helping?"
Liliah: "What does that have to do with me?"
The maid went near Hazel and whispered in her ears.
Maid: "Miss Hazel, she is the young bride, not a maid."
Hazel: "Ohhh, you look so dowdy, no wonder they thought you were one of the maids, so you are the scapegoat."
Liliah: "What are you trying to say?"
Hazel: "Dylan told me that there was a curse in the family. The first wife of the Matthew family will die. In order to protect her, he found you a substitute, so you are the scapegoat." she said, smirking and crossing her arms.
