Mel and Sal laughed while playing with their father.

" I think that's about enough you two, I'm sure your father must be tired so let's all eat first, ok." Melinda chuckled, brimming with happiness at the warm scene.

" Ok mommy." Sal nodded while smiling.

" Let's eat daddy, mom made your favorite." said Mel.

The four of them sat at the dinning table and enjoyed their meal, while joking once in awhile. All in all, the entire meal was one filled with sunshine and rainbows.

After dinner, Melinda took the kids out to play with the other village kid's. When she returned she was surprised to see her husband doing the dishes.

" Honey, what are you doing. You need rest, please leave that to me." Melinda hurried over to his side and held his hand in hers, intertwining their fingers while staring at him with a serious, worried look that also looked cute without a doubt.

" It's ok sweetie, I'm not that tired." Her husband revealed a cheeky smile but Melinda didn't have that. Under her insistent pleading, he finally relented.

" He never does the dishes..." Melinda mumbled to herself with a slightly odd expression. She shook her head though, to return her focus before she began doing the dishes, in a few minutes she was done, placing the last kitchen utensil in the kitchen cabinet before walking out.

" Honey, what are you doing." Melinda said in alarm watching her husband with a broom in hand.

" I got bored lying in bed so I thought I might help you with this, the house looks like it's not been properly cleaned in awhile. It wouldn't hurt to offer some help." Her husband said.

Melinda bit her lower lip at his remark before approaching him and grabbing the broom in hand. " Please just leave these little things to me. I can handle it, so please, just go upstairs and rest, ok sweetie." She leaned in and kisses his lips while snatching the broom from his hand before he could react.

Seeing her determined expression, her husband let out a sigh before retreating upstairs. Watching his retreating back view, Melinda couldn't help but be reminded of her nightmares, her sunny expression turning worried.

She felt confused why her husband would want to help with this house chores all of a sudden, after all, all he usually did was come home from work, go out and get drunk before returning home late in the night, falling asleep without a word. The only time he usually spent at home, was on his days off, which he would use to play with Mel and Sal.

Melinda didn't know why he was acting as such but for some reason she felt even more determined to tidy up the house. In a few hours time, she was done with everything, whether the laundry, cleaning the house or completing her shopping for food items, she finally did it.

Melinda felt satisfied with herself as she placed the food items in the kitchen cabinet, but when she arrived near the steps, her eyes couldn't help but move upwards, her brows furrowing. But the next moment, they brightened up as if a wonderful idea had come to mind.

Melinda pushed open her and her husband's bedroom door ever so gently. Her husband who was laying silently on the bed turned to see who it was but seeing Melinda completely stripped naked, his expression stiffened as he unconsciously let out a gasp.

Seeing his reaction, Melinda was satisfied, at least she felt that her womanly charm hadn't diminished, moreover , the children shouldn't be back for two hours or so, so she had enough time to do as she pleased with him.

She sauntered over to him ever so gently, her swaying curves made her husband gulp unconsciously.

His eyes were instantly glued to her form, he watched as she got atop the bed and crawled towards him on all fours.

" I'm sorry sweetie but I'm not in the mood right now." Her husband said Just as she had forced his back to the way.

Melinda was momentarily surprised, staring at her husband who looked like a shy kitten turning his head towards the side to avoid looking at her natural form.

"...sniff~sniff~" Her husband turned surprised when he saw Melinda suddenly start crying.

" Honey what's wrong... don't tell me you've gotten tired of me already, is that it, are you trying to find another wife." Melinda's eyes turned teary as she stared at her husband who looked like he was at a loss for words.

" Sweetheart what are you talking about, what do you mean another–" her husband wanted to speak but Melinda's agitated voice cut him off.

" It's obvious your planning to get rid of me! You never did the dishes, you never even bother to help me with house chores and now you don't even want to sleep with me, Am I not pleasing to you anymore, is that it." Melinda returned to her grief stricken state as images from her nightmares plagued her mind once more.

" Honey please don't say things like this, why would I want to get rid of you, I need you." Her husband's voice sounded genuinely agitated. Without letting her react, he pulled her into his embrace, her supple flesh pressing against him.

" Stop lying to me, if you're tired of me, just say it. It's clear you don't really need me. I'm sure that noble house must've promised you an even more beautiful woman, that's why you want to throw me out, isn't it." Melinda struggled in his arms but he didn't let her break free.

She understood that in this kingdom, it wasn't really anything shocking for a man to have multiple women, in some cases, some even ended up abandoning their first woman because of the words of their newest partner.

She knew how greedy her husband was, He would always eye other women lecherously even while she was around. At times he even went on trips to brothels with his squad while out on missions, coming home smelling like passion and covered in hickeys. Yet anytime she brought it up, he would either ignore her or get so angry that he would lash out on her.
