Allyce swept all the plates placed in front of her onto the floor, the plates fell to the floor with a loud clatter.
He shouted unbearably to the servants standing to one side: “I want to see Severo!
But none of the servants paid any attention to him, they all lowered their heads in silence and stood still.
He hadn’t left the village for three whole days and hadn’t seen Severo.
No, to be precise, Severo wouldn’t let her leave.
Every time she approached the door, the bodyguards on duty stopped her.
If it were not for Severo’s orders, how dare these men stop her at will.
Allyce pointed at one of the servants with a cold stare: “Tell me, where is Severo!
The servant whispered: “I … don’t know”.
Allyce was angry inside, but in her heart she was sober enough to know that she couldn’t take it out on someone else, that the root of it all was Severo.
She wasn’t like Severo, when she got angry and caught someone, she threw a tantrum.
Allyce could take no more and knew that no matter how much pressure she put on the servants, nothing would come of it.
He turned around and went to the kitchen and quickly took out the kitchen knife: “Go and inform Severo or I’ll die here!
In her hand, the family phone … all means of communication had been removed by Severo, and as she had said that day, she was imprisoned by Severo, like a pet, in a cage.
She had spent the last three days in turmoil, wondering why Severo had suddenly imprisoned her like a madman, and deducing from what had happened before and after, she could not deduce why Severo had done it.
He had never thought that one day he would have to risk his life to see Severo.
“Madam, don’t be impulsive, we’ll get in touch with the gentleman right away”.
The maids panicked, watching Allyce for fear that she would cut herself if she made a mistake, while others went to call Severo.
Severo returned quickly.
He rushed in and his eyes fell on Allyce, his pupils closed and he looked at her nervously, “Put the knife away”.
Allyce didn’t care what he said, her grip on the knife didn’t loosen for a second, she looked at Severo coldly, “Explain yourself.”
It explains everything.
Explains what happened to Laurinda, explains what happened to Alonzo, explains why she was being held captive …
What was not said in full, she was sure Severo would be able to understand.
Severo was very intelligent and would not do anything without reason.
However, Severo’s response made one of their hearts continue to sink.
He lifted his jaw slightly and looked slightly relieved as he took a seat to one side and said in a slow voice: “Explain what?
There seemed to be no tension whatsoever over Allyce’s death.
Allyce’s face went slightly white and she opened her mouth, suddenly speechless.
Severo saw that she did not speak, and a smile slowly coloured his dark eyes, with a tinge of futility and understanding.
“Don’t you want to stay here?”
“No one wants to be locked up like a pet.” Allyce bit her lip, her eyes watering.
The smile in Severo’s eyes deepened as he stood up and walked slowly towards Allyce, “Really? How do you know no one else will do it? Maybe there are plenty of women who would.”
Severo didn’t stop even when he reached Allyce. He was already much taller than her and being so close, Allyce felt oppressed and the familiar smell of his shower gel made her lose her concentration.
Taking advantage of his lack of concentration, Severo snatched the kitchen knife from his hand.
“Women, it is better to be gentle and obedient, it is better to touch those things less often.” Severo’s smile faded and he dropped the knife with a deafening “clang” that echoed throughout the room.
Allyce came to her senses and looked at Severo, who was standing so close to her that she felt strange.
She looked him in the eye and wondered whether he meant what he said or not.
But all he could see in her eyes was endless darkness and coldness.
When he said those words, there was no special expression on his face, no sign of reticence or lying.
She remembered the way he used to talk about love with such depth of feeling that it could have drowned her out.
Allyce swallowed hard, took a deep breath, looked a little dazed and asked quietly, “All of it, right?
“It doesn’t matter if it’s true or not, it is what it is, you don’t want to live here, there are more women who do, and I like well educated women, you should know that.”
Allyce was right on the edge of the wall at that moment, and there was no turning back.
Severo moved a little closer and looked at Allyce’s disoriented face, which seemed to be separated by an invisible fog, making it difficult to discern her true emotions from her expression.
“Is that aggravating?”
At the sound of Severo’s voice and his hand on her face, she realised that she had unintentionally burst into tears.
He pushed her hand away violently: “Don’t touch me!
“Where haven’t I touched you, and now you’re getting serious?” Severo laughed softly.
But the disdain in that laugh stung Allyce’s heart.
Allyce bit her lip: “Severo, I ask you again, why is there an Alonzo?
She still didn’t want to believe that it was the Severo she knew who was standing in front of him.
“Those questions are really stupid, I used to think you were really smart.”
Severo’s words were full of mockery: “Do you believe me when I say that I have never touched another woman? No wonder they say that women are the dumbest creatures in the world, if I hadn’t touched other women, how would I have Alonzo?” “You don’t even think about it, with my status, how could I have only you as a woman, it was just a lie, see, you’re still dead at …”
“Pah!”
Allyce slapped Severo hard and shouted, “Stop it, don’t say it again, get out of here, get out now! Get out now!
Allyce’s slap was so hard he couldn’t even feel her hand, and half of Severo’s face was already red from the blow, but it didn’t hurt his temper at all.
Allyce, on the other hand, felt ridiculously embarrassed at the time.
All those hurtful words, and he could say them with aplomb.
He felt he could find no reason to argue in his favour.
His confidence was foolish for him.
Stupidity, and his mockery and contempt struck her heart so hard as a rock that she felt her heart ache as much as her hands.
“Let me go?” Severo tilted his head and touched the half of his face that had been hit, his eyes grim, “You’ve probably forgotten that I’m your legal husband.”
