Encountering my Step-aunt
Lotus Mall
Shanaya brought me to the Lotus Mall, the unique and impressive five-story shopping center. I found our arrival at the mall intriguing, so I questioned her, "Wife, what's the reason for coming here?"
She replied nonchalantly, "To get some essential items." Then, we headed directly to the third floor, designated for clothing and accessories. While we were walking, a voice suddenly called out to us from behind.
" Ryan Ley"
I glanced back and noticed Alice beckoning me. Alice and I were classmates in high school, although we never really spoke much. Nevertheless, I remember her as a kind and gentle person. Her appearance rivaled that of Mina. Consequently, I decided to approach her, leaving Shanaya behind.
"Hello, Alice. How have you been?" I asked politely, believing that manners speak volumes about one's character. To my surprise, she responded with a hint of contempt, crossing her arms across her chest, and inquired, "What brings you here?"
I absentmindedly ran my hand through my hair as I struggled to come up with an answer. Finally, I responded casually, "Just taking a walk."
She burst out laughing, mocking my ability to simply stroll when I couldn't even afford to buy a dress here that cost 1000 dollars. With a smug air, she added, "Unlike my husband, who works as a Manager here, you're still studying. Sorry, my mistake. You were held for a year, correct? That explains why you are currently in your third year of studying."
Playing with her hair, she arrogantly suggested, "If you beg me, maybe I could persuade my husband to find you a job as a security guard here. Hahaha"
"I'll pass," I said, turning to leave this person who seemed to think they were better than me. I wasn't sure why she had a grudge with me. But before I could walk away, she grabbed my arms.
"Why are you being like this, Alice? Why are you trying to ruin my mood?"
"You really don't know? Fine, let me enlighten you. Do you remember when we were in school and I had feelings for you, but you publicly rejected me? That awful day has stayed with me. No one wanted to approach me after that because of you. Now, it's up to you whether you apologize in front of everyone, or I'll have my husband teach you a lesson," she smirked, and kept twirling her hair.
"Alice, don't push my limits. It was you who initiated contact with me, not the other way around. Therefore, it is unfair for you to place blame on me." I angrily brushed away her hand, showing my annoyance.
"Your atrocious behavior is absolutely unacceptable. It appears that you have developed an inflated ego, but remember that you will always be inferior to me. You will never reach the level of success that I have achieved today." As she prepared to strike me, someone intervened and accidentally interrupted her. Confused, she demanded, "Who are you? Let go of me."

'Lotus Mall'
Shanaya brought me to the Lotus Mall, the unique and impressive five-story shopping center. I found our arrival at the mall intriguing, so I questioned her, "Wife, what's the reason for coming here?"
She replied nonchalantly, "To get some essential items." Then, we headed directly to the third floor, designated for clothing and accessories. While we were walking, a voice suddenly called out to us from behind.

Suddenly, a forceful blow struck her face, causing her to instinctively rub her cheeks in disbelief. However, her shock quickly faded as she beheld the intense and menacing energy radiating from the woman before her. The chilling expression in her eyes was so intense that it paralyzed Alice with fear.
" Who are you bi-"
Slap
" You"
Puzzled, I turned to my side and discovered my wife standing there, wearing a cold expression on her face. Though she appeared outwardly calm, her demeanor sent a slight chill down my spine. Confused by her reaction, Alice stared at me and reached for her phone, intending to call her husband. "You wait," she warned, "I'll call my husband."
She dialed the number and exclaimed into the phone, "David, a woman just slapped me. Come and seek retribution on the third floor in the clothing section." With each passing moment, more onlookers gathered, some even started recording the incident.
"What caused her to become so aggressive? I'm not sure, but that man must have something to do with it."
"Hey, did you hear her mentioning about revenge to her husband?"
"Alright, let's see how this situation unfolds."
A man in his thirties, with a pot- bellied arrived quickly, while huffing. He pushed his way through the crowd to find out what was happening. Immediately he went to Alice, who had a red handprint on her face, and hugged her.
"Who hit you, sweetheart?" he exclaimed.
"That bitch, honey," Alice said, pointing at Shanaya.
As he directed a hostile gaze towards me, his attention suddenly shifted to my wife. However, upon laying eyes on her, his anger swiftly transformed into desire. 'Wow, she is incredibly captivating. I must strategize my approach towards her' he thought.
He politely addressed my wife, "Excuse me, madam. Could you kindly elucidate the details-"
Slap
The manager of the mall was shocked when Shanaya slapped him, as his pride was very important to him. It made me question if she was taking out her anger on him. I couldn't help but smile when I saw his reaction.
"Get your boss on the phone, tell him Miss Jonas is calling," Shanaya said impatiently.
"Who do you think you are, how dare-"
Slap
"I instructed you to contact him, as I have limited time left."
With a quivering voice, Alice covered her mouth in shock and instinctively retreated. The manager, now intrigued, grabbed his phone to dial his superior.
"Sir, there is a woman named Miss Jonas, who is transgressing the guidelines by physically assaulting our patrons."
"What! Miss Jonas? I'm on my way, and both of you will apologize to her or face your termination!" he shouted.
What?"
Thud
As his phone crashed to the ground and shattered, he immediately dropped to his knees and continued to beg for forgiveness. "Ma'am, I apologize deeply, please find it in your heart to forgive me," he pleaded, repeatedly bowing down.
At the same time, the owner hurried over and also fell to his knees. "Ma'am, please forgive me. I had no idea that it was you who had entered our store. I am so sorry for the thoughtless welcome," he cried out, trembling with remorse. However, Shanaya showed no reaction and fixed her gaze on Alice.
The manager had a sudden realization and reacted by physically attacking the woman, pulling her hair and kicking her knees. Alice also pleaded with her, expressing remorse and promising not to meddle in her life again.
"Wow, this woman is really tough."
"He must consider himself fortunate to have a wife like her, who supports him unconditionally."
"I wish I could be in his shoes. She's so amazing - if I had her, I would be completely fulfilled."
The people in the crowd were murmuring amongst themselves, with some expressing envy and others displaying jealousy. However, I had a different perspective. I pondered, 'Why are you so fixated on her appearance but not concerned about her character? If you spend just one day with her, you'll see things differently.'
Understanding the unfortunate situation Alice was in, I pleaded with my wife, "Please, forgive her this once." She nodded in agreement and approached Alice with a stern expression. With a single slap, she warned, "Remember, he is mine, my husband. If you dare approach him again, I won't hesitate to behead you mercilessly. Understand?"
Anxious, she continued to confirm by nodding.
Shanaya's declaration caused the crowd to turn green with jealousy, but they were powerless.
Afterward, she brought me to the men's clothing store and instructed the sales staff, "Present the finest outfit for him. The price does not matter." The sales staff nodded and showcased a suit priced at $10,000.
I gave my wife a nudge to notice the price tag, but she didn't seem concerned. Instead, she passed me the suit and told me to try it on. I only nodded, silently agreeing with her. I made my way to the fitting room and, after a short while, opened the door.
Creak
While Shanaya was preoccupied with choosing suits, she suddenly turned to face me and gave me a stern look. She then came closer and casually said, "I want you to wear this exact version for our honeymoon tonight. I'll take care of everything at my villa."
Feeling embarrassed, my face flushed with embarrassment, I couldn't help but mutter to myself, 'Wow, this woman has no shame. Just because she doesn't have any, doesn't mean I don't. And how can she say it so publicly? Forget it, she's like a hungry succubus.'
Shanaya, feeling puzzled, held onto my hand and inquired in a deep voice, "Pardon me, repeat what you just said?"
Realizing that she had heard my comment, I quickly replied, "Oh, uh, nothing."
After settling the bill, we headed to her mother's house in Macaber city. The entire journey, which took around two hours, passed in complete silence.
Macaber City
As we arrived at the gates, I was taken aback by the beauty and opulence of the five-story villa. It reminded me of Shanaya's villa.
While she confidently moved ahead, I couldn't help but wonder about her identity and her family. 'Why did she marry me, was it just because of a suggestion I made? Something seemed off, but what exactly?'. Frustration consumed me as we entered the hall, where two women were engrossed in gossip. I didn't recognize the lady on the left, but as I glanced at the woman on the right, a deep sense of hatred and anger washed over me. It was my step-aunt Lancy Cannon, who was almost 27 years old.
