When Russell saw the caller ID, his brows furrowed, but he still answered, "Hello?"

Rina's voice came through, "Where are you? Why aren't you home yet?"

Russell's tone remained indifferent. "I'm not coming home tonight."

"You can't!" Rina's voice suddenly rose. "You have to come back! Russell, have you forgotten what you promised me? How long have we been married? Did you forget?"

His expression was cold, and his words even colder. "I'm busy. Stop being unreasonable."

"Unreasonable?" Rina's voice escalated further. "All I'm asking is for you to come home! How is that unreasonable? Did you do something you feel guilty about? Is that why you don't want to come home? You better come back right now!" Rina was becoming hysterical.

In the past, Russell had been somewhat patient with her, even gentle. But ever since their marriage had been arranged between their families, he grew increasingly distant. After the wedding, he rarely came home at all.

Rina had slowly come to realize that he hadn't married her out of love. He had done it for the power of the Johnson family!
