After breakfast, Jonathan took me to buy a diamond ring.
I picked one at random and couldn't wait to get home and show it off.
Jonathan, however, didn't take me home. Instead, he drove to the villa in the suburbs.
The villa used to be in my name. A year before my father passed away, it suddenly became Jonathan's.
As soon as we walked in, he grabbed me on the head and kissed me hard. He kicked the door shut behind him and led me in.
He kissed me violently. Maybe he scooped me up because he was tired from bending over.
When he was aroused, he murmured in a hoarse voice, "Shirl, say you love me."
I drew circles on his chest with my finger and said, "Nathan, I love you, but what about Mom?"
He suddenly put me down and stared at me with his brown eyes. After a while, he stroked my hair and said, "Shirl, I'll get her to agree."
I looked at him in disbelief.
