Daddy, Chasing Mommy Back is On Us!

Mayaboy's heart continued to pound against her rib cage even after she stepped out of the guesthouse. She turned around to glance at the only light in the guesthouse that was still turned on. Who do I think I am? I was just a silly, young girl back then, and I'm a married woman now. I'll never stand a chance with a townsman like him. I should stop thinking about this, she thought as she hastened her footsteps. That night, Jason couldn't sleep at all. His insomnia was partially due to the terrible conditions of the guesthouse, but also because his thoughts were racing the entire night. He was thinking of a way to bring Mayaboy away. He knew that it wasn't going to be an easy job, for he would have to understand the situation better before he could meddle with anything. After considering his options for one whole night, Jason got up and left the guesthouse early that morning. He had forgotten to ask Mayaboy for a way to contact her the night before, so the only way he could get in touch with her was to walk over to her house.

Jason was walking at a regular pace when he realized how a bunch of villagers were all rushing toward the same direction. It seemed as if something huge had occurred in the village. Thus, he quickly stopped one of the old men. "What's going on there?"

"The clan leader's daughter-in-law committed adultery!" The old man only left him with a single-sentenced explanation before rushing off. The clan leader's daughter-in-law. Isn't that Mayaboy? Jason immediately charged toward where the rest of the crowd was headed.

There was a woman tied up in the middle of the courtyard in the village. The villagers had formed a circle around the woman, who was none other than Mayaboy herself. Her entire body was covered in wounds.

A woman was wailing and screaming beside Mayaboy. "My poor son! Why did you leave me so soon? It's all this woman's fault. She was the one who cursed you to death! I can't believe she's shameless enough to commit adultery now! Why is my life so hard?!"Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

The villagers in the crowd began to whisper to one another as they pointed fingers at Mayaboy. "Her husband has been dead for a few years now, and she's still so young. She probably couldn't control her desires anymore, huh?" someone said.

"That doesn't give her the right to commit adultery! She's so pretty. It's obvious that she's not a good woman! Perhaps this isn't even the first time she's cheating on her husband!" another one added. "That's right. Her husband died so early, and she's still so young. I'm sure she can't stand being a widow at this age!" The villagers all had something to say about the situation, and some of them even spat in Mayaboy's direction.

Mayaboy had collapsed on the ground, and her gaze seemed blank and lifeless at that point. She looked as if her soul had left her body. Meanwhile, the clan leader stood around and smoked a cigarette as he spoke. "We're a cursed family. We're cursed!"

Oliver Mayer and Greta Torres

showed up right then. The clan leader's wife stopped sobbing as she turned to address the couple who had just arrived. "You guys got here just in time. Take a look at your daughter! How dare she commit adultery?! She doesn't even complete her tasks at home! What do you guys think we should do about this?!"

Oliver rushed over to give his daughter a firm kick. "You've always been such a f*cking embarrassment!"

The clan leader's wife let out a scoff. Things were just as she had expected-she had guessed that Oliver wouldn't dare to go against her words.

"Are you sure about the part about adultery? Could there have been a misunderstanding?" Greta asked in a careful tone.

"A misunderstanding? She sneaked

out late at night when she was supposed to be in bed, and she was sweating by the time she came home. I caught her red-handed! What else could she have done if she hadn't been out with another man at that time of the night? Where else could she have gone?! I'm sure that she ran off somewhere to go on a date with another man!" the clan leader's wife cried. Mayaboy didn't bother to stand up for herself at all. She knew that her protests would be useless.

"You guys can do whatever you wish to do with her. It's our fault. We didn't teach her well!" Oliver stepped aside as he spoke to the clan leader's wife.

"Mark your words, Oliver! I don't

want you to change your mind later!” the clan leader's wife said through

clenched teeth. "According to our ancestors' rules, committing adultery is a huge sin. She will have to be executed!"

"Stop right there!" Jason cried as he emerged from a crowd of villagers. Everyone began to whisper under their breaths the moment they saw him. "Who's that guy? Why haven't I seen him before?" someone muttered.

“That's right. What's a man like him doing here?"
