The door swung open, and a familiar man stood in front of it, facing Abigail, his mother-in-law, with a dagger-like gaze. The man turned out to be Morgan, the son-in-law of the Creek family, who was paid to marry Jessica of the Creek family. Suddenly, he vanished, and after five years, he was now standing in the Creek family mansion like a ghost who had just risen from the dead.
"I'm here to see my wife. And what's with the stare?" Morgan asked. His fists curled, and his face frowned as he gazed at his mother-in-law.
"Are you stupid? What do you mean by 'you are here to see your wife'? She is no longer your wife, and you have no right to see her!" Abigail replied, raising her voice at Morgan.
"How can you call her your wife when you abandoned her for five years, you fraud? Or was it because she's in a wheelchair? And by the way, my mother paid you a huge sum of money to marry Jessica but you took the money and ran away!" Isabella, Jessica's stepsister, the daughter to Abigail, cut in, folding her arms across her chest as she spoke with irate.
Morgan's disappearance was a mystery, as he vanished without reason. Now, returning to the mansion to claim Jessica was absurd.
"What the hell are you doing here?" a voice sounded from the other end of the room gradually reviewing a woman rolling forward in a wheelchair. Immediately Morgan saw the woman on the wheelchair he Snapped. The woman on the wheelchair ended up to be his wife, Jessica who he had left for five years.
Seeing Jessica, Morgan was dumbstruck. He hadn't seen her for years, and now, seeing her again overwhelmed him with joy, he felt like embracing her, but due to his mysterious vanishing he hesitated as he thought twice about it.
"Jessica, it's not what you think. I left for a reason," Morgan tried to explain, but Jessica turned her head away in dismay, her eyes already welling up with tears.
"I can't believe you did this to me! After making me believe I had finally found someone who could love me in my condition, but you proved me wrong. I hate you, Morgan!" Jessica said, tears gushing from her eyes, her lips trembling as she tried to speak but couldn't.
"Jessica, now that Morgan is here, don't you think this is the right time to divorce him? He doesn't deserve your love, nor does he belong to this family anymore," Abigail sneered, glaring at Morgan with an intense dislike as if she wanted to make him vanish from existence, if she had the chance.
Morgan tried to touch Jessica, but she slapped his hands away.
"Get your filthy hands off me!"
"Don't touch me, you fool! You don't deserve me anymore, so please, I advise you to get the hell out of this mansion right now!" Jessica snapped with an instructive tone, shifting her glare away from Morgan as she got repulsed by his presence.
"Speaking of getting the hell out of this mansion, Morgan, how did you even get in here? Did you sneak in, as usual, like the thief you are?" Abigail spat, her voice sharp as a knife to Morgan's ears.
In reality, Morgan had fled the mansion because he was being threatened with death by Jessica's family, specifically her step mother Abigail, after discovering something he shouldn't have known. To save his life, he had to make the ultimate decision to disappear, for his good and for the good of his wife Jessica.
"Speaking of thieves, you should be the real one here," Morgan retorted, facing Abigail head-on as he felt an intense rage surging into him, if they were to talk about thief at the moment Abigail was to be giving the high score.
"Morgan, so you came all the way here after five years just to insult my mother? Are you insane?" Isabella snapped angrily, fumed at Morgan's audacity on how he spoke to her mother.
