As they reentered the dining room, tension crackled through the air like an electrical charge. Irie, Kini's cousin, had surprisingly joined them for dinner with the clear intention of stirring up trouble. Throbbing the dense darkness in the air. His gaze lingered on Sharisha's beauty, and a sinister desire to provoke her and incite a reaction from Karalana fueled his actions.
Irie had crossed a line this time, tormenting Kini's wife, Sharisha, with unsettling insinuations and a taunting tone. "Has your husband shown you his darker side already, Sharisha?" he taunted, attempting to subject her to relentless humiliation and psychological torture.
Kini, who was typically known for his calm and collected demeanor, could no longer contain his fury. The simmering tension in the room was about to erupt into a confrontation, with emotions reaching a boiling point.
