Let Me Stay The Night

Silence ensued.

Christina furrowed her brows in frustration, and she was no longer interested in talking to him.

Yerek grabbed her wrist and uttered in a deep voice, “If you’re still angry at me for what happened at the clothing factory, I can pay you back all the money. If I do that, will you hate me less?”

Christina pulled her hand away from his grip and glared at him. “You can pay me back the money, but how about the life you owe me?”

Her tone was so cold that Yerek could feel a chill running down his spine.

“What are you on about? I owe you some money, and that’s it. But you want me to give my life to you?” Yerek was incredulous.

He didn’t know what Christina was talking about.

Christina said sarcastically, “Why, it didn’t take you long to forget about the evil act that you had committed.”

Yerek was still looking at her in puzzlement.

Taking in the innocent look on his face, Christina added, “Don’t look at me like that, and don’t think this is over just because I don’t have proof that you burned my house down.”

“Burn your house down? What nonsense are you talking about?” Yerek knitted his brows. Why is she saying that I burned her house down?

Christina couldn’t suppress her anger. “You will be punished for this, Yerek!” He obviously committed all those despicable acts. However, he’s acting dumb and innocent.
