Episode 7

Reluctantly, Leticia agreed to meet Damian's mother.

She endeavored to remain as calm as possible, prepared for whatever Damian's mother might ask or say.

In the living room, Damian's mother sat across from a couple who seemed to have placed some distance between themselves.

"Good afternoon, Madam...may I assist you with anything?" Leticia politely inquired upon entering the living room.

Damian's mother's eyes bulged sharply, her mouth agape at Leticia's words.

Meanwhile, Damian gave her a piercing look as sharp as a knife's edge.

Leticia, with her innocent face, paid no mind to Damian's stare, feeling there was nothing amiss about her words.

She stood serenely, ready to listen to Damian's mother's lecture.

"What did you just say? Madam?" Damian's mother asked, ensuring she had heard correctly.

"I apologize if I was presumptuous, Madam, sorry!" Leticia quickly bowed deeply in apology.

"Oh my!" Damian's mother clutched her chest, clearly shocked by Leticia's form of address.

While Leticia remained bowed, she felt this would only cause Damian's mother to dislike her more.

And she hoped Damian's mother would order her son to divorce her, seeing her as foolish, indeed like a servant.

"Damian! You disrespectful child! You've turned your wife into a servant in your own home!?"

"What?" Damian's lover was startled by the mother's words, "Wife?"

Some of Damian's lovers weren't aware that he was married.

Leticia was also startled by Damian's mother's outburst, but she remained rooted in her place.

"I cannot believe I gave birth to someone so heartless. No wonder you cavort with so many women; I don't know when you'll ever change!"

"I never wanted marriage; it was Mother who insisted!" Damian defended himself.

"Yes! Because you've bedded so many women, marriage and children never crossed your mind, you've enjoyed a variety of women!" Damian's mother exclaimed in frustration.

Inside, Leticia scoffed at Damian's character, what a worthless man!

She resolved if Damian tried anything with her, she would make him regret ever laying a hand on her.

Leticia sensed a presence approaching, then a touch on her shoulder.

"Stop bowing, stand up!" Damian's mother told Leticia.

"Thank you, Madam...!" Leticia said, lifting her head.

"Don't call me Madam, I am your mother-in-law, call me Mama!" Damian's mother said, touching Leticia's hand.

"I dare not, Madam...!" Leticia bowed again.

"Damian...!!" Damian's mother called out to her son.

"Let her call Mama that if she wants; after all, you're not her mother!" Damian casually remarked.

"What relation are you to Damian!!" Damian's mother pointed at the beautiful woman sitting some distance from Damian.

"I am Damian's fiancee, Auntie!" the beautiful woman claimed.

"What?!!" Damian's mother was on the verge of fainting upon hearing the woman's statement.

Leticia quietly smiled to herself; her chance to leave the mansion seemed imminent.

"Fine, divorce Leticia, marry this woman, rather than turn my daughter-in-law into a servant because you dislike her!" Damian's mother declared.

Perfect! Leticia's heart leapt with joy at hearing Damian's mother's pronouncement, the moment she had awaited.

"I've already told Mother, I don't want to marry!"

"But she claims to be your fiancee!"

"That's what she says, but I haven't agreed to it!" Damian nonchalantly responded.
