Mayaboy''s heart continued to pound against her rib cage even after she stepped out of the guesthouse. She turned around to nce 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 regr pace when he realized how a bunch of vigers were all rushing toward the same direction. It seemed as if something huge had urred in the vige. Thus, he quickly stopped one of the old men. "What''s going on there?"


    "The n leader''s daughter-inwmitted adultery!" The old man only left him with a single-sentenced exnation before rushing off. The n leader''s daughter-inw. Isn''t that Mayaboy? Jason immediately charged toward where the rest of the crowd was headed.Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.


    There was a woman tied up in the middle of the courtyard in the vige. The vigers 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 tomit adultery now! Why is my life so hard?!"


    The vigers 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 tomit 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 vigers all had something to say about the situation, and some of them even spat in Mayaboy''s direction.


    Mayaboy had copsed on the ground, and her gaze seemed nk and lifeless at that point. She looked as if her soul had left her body. Meanwhile, the n 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 n 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 shemit adultery?! She doesn''t evenplete 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 n 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


    outte 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 n 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 n leader''s wife.


    "Mark your words, Oliver! I don''t


    want you to change your mindter!” the n leader''s wife said through


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


    "Stop right there!" Jason cried as he emerged from a crowd of vigers. 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?"
