The morning light struggled to penetrate the heavy drapes in the master bedroom. Jasmine lay still, a hand pressed to her temple, the dull throb behind her eyes a familiar companion. A maid, Ruth, entered with a tray, her soft 'Good morning, Mrs. Jasmine!' a stark contrast to the tension in the room.

"Please drop it there and leave! I would not want to be disturbed this morning," Jasmine commanded, her voice edged with irritation. The tray clinked as Ruth set it down, a silent retreat.

Then, a man's voice, deep and resonant, cut through the quiet.

"You did not have to be rude to the maid. Ruth has been working in this mansion even before you came in as my wife."

Jasmine scoffed, turning her head slightly towards the unseen speaker. "Good for you! Same reason your family thinks I should not be your wife because your girlfriend was there before me and she could have probably bore an heir."
