*The Door Opens*
But I still didn’t get up from my bed, even though I had been awake for a while. I had no idea who had opened the door, so I kept my eyes shut.
“Why didn’t I notice it earlier? You’re undeniably gorgeous, my moon.”
Venn?
What on earth is his role in my life? What happened between us? Why can’t I understand why I feel this mix of anger and desire toward him?
I slowly opened my eyes, and there was Venn, standing there with a breakfast tray and flowers. I smiled at him, but in a moment of playful frustration, I threw my pillow at his face and dashed to the bathroom.
Oh my gosh! I hope I don’t have sleep crust in my eyes, and what about my breath? Charot! (Just kidding!)
“Rhaj! Did I do something wrong? Are you okay? What are you doing in there? Open the door!” He shouted from outside.
Oh my goodness! He’s exaggerating; I’m just going to wash my face and brush my teeth!
“I’m going to take a shower. Are you coming?” I replied, holding back a chuckle.
“W-What?... You scared the h*ll out of me! You didn’t even give me a warning!” he responded irritably as I heard him walking away.
I splashed cold water on my face and brushed my teeth, but suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my lower abdomen. Oh no… Not this time…
OH JEEZ! I’m getting my monthly period!
I checked the cabinets for supplies, but there was nothing. I looked on the shelf, and still, nothing! What to do?!!! 
“A..Ah.. Venn? Are you still there?” I ventured, my voice shaky.
“Yes, why? Do you want me to take a bath with you?” he joked, laughter in his voice.
T-That jerk! But I need to tell him the truth now.
“V-Venn, can you call Joy? I need her right now,” I responded shyly.
“No one else is here, except me,” he said.
“Then… Can you… c-can you buy me—” I couldn’t finish my sentence as I felt a sudden wetness.
Yaaaackkks! It’s starting to leak!
“D-Don’t tell me, napkin?” he guessed.
“Please, I really need it,” I admitted, wincing from the stomach cramps. Ugh, it hurts so badly!
“O-Okay, fine.” he replied, and I heard him lock the door behind him.
There was nothing I could do except huddle in the bathtub, letting the warm water soothe my cramps. A little while later, the bathroom door creaked open. Wait, it was locked, wasn’t it?
“Here,” Venn said, eyes squeezed shut as he handed me a napkin. TAKE NOTE: WITH UNDERWEAR AND CLOTHES TO CHANGE INTO.
“VENN! Where did y-you get my undies? This is so embarrassing! OMG!” I squealed, splashing him with water from the tub.
Then it hit me…. I had no clothes on!
“VENNNNNNN! GET OUT, DON’T YOU DARE OPEN YOUR EYES OR I’LL STAB YOU!” I yelled fiercely.
He was fumbling around, trying to feel his way to the door, and eventually, he managed to escape.
“You’re my wife anyway,” he shouted back after the mortifying incident, OMG!
I quickly finished my shower and got dressed, feeling slightly flustered as I stepped out of the bathroom.
Venn was sprawled out on my bed, holding my cellphone, with a deeply furrowed brow.
“And who gave you permission to touch my cellphone, huh?” I asked, arching an eyebrow while combing my hair.
“Who’s Vince? And why did he say he’ll court you, huh?! And why are you chatting with him when you already have me? Your husband!” he said, irritation dripping from his words.
“Why do you care? I barely even remember you,” I smirked, trying to tease him.
Actually, it wasn’t my cellphone, and I had no idea whose it was. I planned to ask around later about whose phone it was when I finally ventured downstairs.
“NO! Rhaj, you can't do this to me! Don’t you dare! I’m your f*cking husband; we’re married!” I couldn’t help but laugh internally at his disgruntled expression—his ears and cheeks were turning red like a child who just lost their candy.
BLAAAG!!!
O-M-MYYYY! He hurled the phone, and it shattered into pieces…
“Why did you do that?! It’s not my phone, MY GOD! Venn!” I cried out.
“W-What? I thought it was yours?” he stuttered.
“I have no idea whose it is; I just wanted to tease you…” I admitted sheepishly.
I quickly picked up the broken phone, salvaging the SIM card and memory card, which I inserted into my own phone. W-Wait a minute, our phones looked somewhat alike… But whose was this?
“I’ll just buy you a new one,” Venn muttered.
I didn’t respond and waited for the memory card to load. I immediately checked the gallery; I mean, surely the owner’s face wouldn’t be missing, right?
But my heart raced as the first video popped up…. Someone had killed the guard, and I recognized the guard from our neighborhood!
I quickly scrolled through the other pictures, but they were all blurry. I moved on to check the contacts on the SIM card and dialed the first number I saw.
“Hello?” came the voice on the other end, and I immediately signaled Venn to be quiet.
“Archer?” the voice asked again.
“Speak, Archer, if you don’t want something bad to happen to your family,” the person warned.
“Dude? Are you still there?” I didn’t respond and hung up on the guard.
S-So this phone belonged to Archer? How in the world did it end up in my room?
“S-Where did you get this?” I asked Venn.
“From your side table. By the way, who did you talk to? Are they looking for the phone?” Venn replied.
“N-No… I don’t know; I’m confused about how it got here. Plus… about the video, Archer, the guard…” I said, my brow furrowed.
“W-What? What’s in the video?” Venn asked.
Without waiting for my reply, he started watching it himself. Moments later, he showed me the footage—a woman clad in a hoodie and mask, slight in stature but quick on her feet.
I zoomed in, though I couldn’t recognize her. However, something caught my attention—she had a tattoo of a butterfly 🦋, and I turned to Venn, who was fiddling on his phone.
“What’s up?” I asked, furrowing my brows.
“I know that tattoo. I’m just not sure whether it’s from the Eco'Casa Clan,” he murmured distractedly.
“Who the heck is that? Why are there murders happening? And by the way, how did Archer’s phone end up here? Who even is he?” I asked again, but he remained silent, staring fixedly at me.
“Your mom’s company’s long-time rival,” he replied seriously before leaving the room.
L-Long-time rival? I had only just heard that name mentioned today.
