The Villain's Wife

"I miss you more," Lisa said hugging her. How could she still have the heart to carry out her initial plan of ignoring him when he's so sweet like that? In a way, he had given her his answer in that response. Jennie then burrowed her head into his chest, inhaling his scent.

"You're home," Jennie uttered before her face bloomed into a beautiful smile. Though, she was a little surprised, she also could not deny the fact that she was indeed happy to see him. She realized that she was becoming weaker in front of her own husband, succumbing to his wooing.

"I can smell dinner," Jennie said after a few seconds. "Stop hugging me already. It hasn't even been three days." She rolled her eyes. Only after the latter had kissed her on the forehead did he let her go.

"Come, we need to put something on that wound," Jennie said as she held Lisa's hand and led him to their room on the second floor. After dressing his wound, the couple enjoyed a sumptuous dinner of 'Thai Red Curry Shrimp' that Lisa made himself.

After dinner, the couple decided to watch a movie instead of working. Or rather, Lisa forced Jennie, almost dragging her, to watch a movie with him.

"Nope. I am not watching that," Jennie shook her head. Lisa had a home theater which was not surprising. But what was surprising was how the design of the room was inspired by Batman's bat cave. The were artificial bats hanging all over the wall and there was even a custom made bat suit and a badass bat mobile figurine sitting inside a glass display case. Jennie was sure that Lisa must have spent a lot to get this room done. She didn't know that her husband was a diehard fan of Batman. 'So cute,' she thought.

"Who wouldn't like 'titanic'?" Lisa asked. "How about 'The Notebook'?"

"Nope!" Jennie shook her head once again as she crossed her arms around her chest.

"I always thought women love watching those kinds of movies," Lisa noted as he scanned the wide array of titles on his TV screen.

"Don't put me in the same basket as all the other women. Why would I watch something sad that could possibly affect my mood all day?" she retorted while eyeing the design of the home theater. "I didn't know that you are a Batman fan."

"Hmmm... I love batman." He nodded. "He is just like me."

"Are you saying that you are a hero too?" She laughed.

"No... An orphan," he answered, still scanning the titles on the TV. When he noticed that Jennie was silent, he turned his head towards her and assured her, "Don't feel sorry for me. I think I am an extremely lucky person because now I have you...."

"Then let's watch Batman," Jennie answered, understanding apparent in her eyes. Judging by Lisa's words and facial expression, Jennie deduced that the latter must have known something about his parentage. However, she decided not to probe further. She knew that he would tell her all about it when he is ready.

"No romance? Love story?" he asked, earning an eye roll from Jennie.

"I am not fond of that genre," she answered. "Let's watch Batman instead."

In response, Lisa grinned and nodded at her.

While the weekend was a carefree one for Jennie and Lisa, the Lee family was facing their biggest storm.

Monday.

Another news rocked the entire Hong Kong.

International women protection groups filed multiple rape cases against Zico and surprisingly, Jian too. This move surprised everyone.

According to some sources, Zico had raped a woman last weekend and the woman went to the police to file a suit. The woman had already undergone some tests in the hospital which proved that she was indeed raped. Moreover, a motion to test Zico's DNA was also requested so they could match it to the semen inside the woman.
