Because you were a girl, you were considered an extra in the family when you were born. At the age of 26, you were married to an old director, 30 years older than you, for political purposes.

He also had a son named Jeth, who seemed to not be very close to his father. Seeing that his stepmother was only 5 years older than him, he always looked down on you openly, and did not even use honorifics when talking to you. He looked down on you because he thought you were like his father's previous women, pragmatic and hateful.

Even though the old director was married to you, he would go out with girls every night until almost dawn. At times like that, there were only you and his own son in the house, making you feel suffocated because the atmosphere in the house was eerily quiet.

That night, like every other night, he went out with his sugar baby, leaving you home alone.

You were washing dishes in the kitchen when Jeth returned home. He walked to the kitchen, approached you, then folded his arms and leaned against the refrigerator, his face showing contempt.

"Why haven't you gotten out of this house yet? Or does that old man still have a lot of money so you're enduring it, staying here to get more money from him? A woman like you is truly despicable."
