Blanca was lying on the bed, motionless, her eyes closed. Her face was pallid, her lips trembling. When she heard Matthewâs name, she did not dare open her eyes. She was afraid it was just a dream.
Blanca felt the man atop her was gone. And soon, a coat was placed over her. She opened her eyes slowly, and saw Matthew standing in front of her, looking stern. She could see the anger in his black eyes.
âItâs the third time, Blanca!â Matthew said between gritted teeth.
He had saved her three times since they were married. The first time, she was kidnapped by her ex-boyfriend Todd. The second time, she was taken away by Clark, who pretended to be a cop. Clark tried to rape her but he failed. Even so, the news was soon spread abroad. Today was the third time, he found her wife lying with his cousin on the same bed! Matthew had reached his limit.
Matthewâs voice was quiet but reproachful. Blanca felt slightly hurt. âSorry, but itâs not my fault,â she said. She looked at Matthew, her eyes full of sudden tears and looking miserable.
She looked thin under Matthewâs large coat. Just watching her, all the anger in Matthew went out. He sighed and his eyes grew tender. She was right, it was not her fault. Except for Todd, both Clark and Jim had something to do with the Grant family.
Jim sat down on the ground, panting. He got beat up by Matthew. Bruises covered all his face, blood seeping from the wounds. Jim stared at the back of Matthew, with frightened eyes. While he found Matthewâs attention was on Blanca, he wanted to try to escape, but when he reached the door, Curtis stopped him. âWhere do you want to go, Jim?â he sneered.
Jimâs face went red. He looked round at Matthew. âWhat do you want me to do, Matthew? Enough is enough!â said Jim, his teeth gritted, his voice shaking with anger.
Matthew gave him a look of deep disgust. He hated people like Jim, but usually, he didnât intervene with Jimâs patterns. Jim gone too far this time. He didnât know how much Blanca meant to Matthew.
Matthew stepped up to Jim. Watching his serious face, Jim was too frightened to move. When Matthew lifted his hand, Jim put his head in his hands quickly. âDonât hit me. Please, donât hit me. I am your brother, Matthew!â Jim begged, in a terrified voice. But his words didnât work. Next second, Matthew knocked him down in one punch and soon blood ran out of the corners of Jimâs mouth.
âYou donât deserve to be a member of the Grant family! You have disgraced our family!â Matthew sneered. A slow cruel smile came over his face.
âWhat are you going to do with him, Mr. Grant?â asked Curtis.
Matthew regarded Jim coldly. A hint of a sneer played about his lips. âOur branch in Africa is short of hands, send him there!â

Iâm not going. Iâm not going so far away! Africa is not safe. Maybe Iâll die! Just for a woman, you -- you are so cruel to me!â Jim yelled, but Curtis dragged him out.
