I'll Teach You, Marianne.

After driving for an hour, Jack finally arrived at Anne's apartment complex. His eyes narrowed trying to find Anne's whereabouts among the group of female workers who had just gotten off the bus to the apartment. 

"Honey, where are you? You're home, right? You aren't waiting for me in that damn lion's office, are you?" Jack kept muttering quietly in his car. He couldn't speed up his car at this time because of the many pedestrians in his car.

Being followed by Sophia and being called by Mrs. Hannah were enough to make Jack's mood break. Therefore, he tried to remain calm while looking for Anne this time. After driving very slowly, Jack finally managed to park his car in the basement area. Without thinking, he got out of the car and headed for the almost closed elevator.

"Ahhhh..."

Five women screamed loudly when they saw a hand suddenly hold the elevator door which was almost closed. They were all shocked because they thought it would crush the elevator door. 

"Sorry, I'm going up." Without guilt, Jack went straight into the elevator after he managed to stop the movement of the elevator door which was almost closed. 

"Are your hands all right, sir?" asked a young woman standing right beside Jack.

"Both my hands are fine, what's wrong?" asked Jack in confusion. He even raised his hands in front of his chest to show the woman who had just asked him.

"Ah, thank God. We know that your hand was injured when you stopped the elevator which was almost closed."

"Yes sir, I thought your hand was broken."

"That's right. What you did earlier was very dangerous, young man. Fortunately, the elevator door sensor in this apartment is still functioning properly. Just imagine if the sensor on the elevator door doesn't work properly. A chance that your hands are intact is very small," said a middle-aged woman, joining in commenting on what Jack had just done. "Don't play with death, young man. Those who die may have all their burdens gone, but think about the loved ones they left behind."

Jack's smile immediately disappeared at the words of the middle-aged woman who had just spoken. He was silent for a long time until his smile finally returned. "Thanks for the advice Madam, I will always remember it from now on."

"Good, young man, oh well, I've arrived on the fifth floor. Excuse me, see you later," said the middle-aged woman politely. 

Jack, who stood in front of the door, stepped aside. He let the kind woman out of the elevator with three other young girls. There was silence in the elevator, because only Jack and two other girls who got out on the seventh floor. So only Jack himself continued to go up to the tenth floor, the floor where Anne's apartment unit was located. As soon as he got out of the elevator, Jack immediately walked quickly to Anne's room which was still closed. At first, Jack pressed the bell button many times but because he didn't get any answer, he finally decided to enter because he already knew the password to Anne's apartment door. 

As soon as he stepped inside, Jack's heart beat faster when he realized that Anne had not yet arrived home. The heating and lights were still not on. There was no sign of anyone in the very neat apartment room. Jack, who had not taken off his shoes, then decided to go out and look for Anne again to Leon's office. However, he had to cancel his intention when he heard a loud noise at the door. Without thinking Jack decided to hide to surprise Anne. He chose to go into the small closet that Anne used to store shoes from outside. He stood in the closet when the door opened from the outside. 

Anne, who previously stopped by the mini market in the lobby, put her groceries on the table. She immediately sat on the carpeted floor without turning on the lights or heating in the room. Anne still remembered the last incident she went through at the office today, where again she caught Steffi and Leon made love. Although this time their status was husband and wife, but Anne's pain was still the same. 

Not long after, there was the sound of sobbing from Anne who was sitting on the floor. Jack, who was in the closet, could clearly hear Anne's crying. Without thinking, Jack came out of his hiding place. His eyes immediately widened when he saw Anne sitting on the carpet holding her knees. 

Jack immediately hugged her from behind while kneeling too.

"Sorry Anne, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to break the promise I made earlier. I'm really sorry for you. I'm guilty, Anne, I'm willing to be punished by you. But please don't cry like this, Anne, I can't see you like this," said Jack softly as he hugged Anne. 

Anne, who was surprised because she was suddenly hugged like that, almost screamed if Jack didn't speak immediately. Anne, who was already very familiar with Jack's voice, immediately closed her lips again. She was now biting hard on her lower lip to keep her tears from bursting again. She forgot that Jack wasn't easy to fool. Jack who was sure that she was crying, immediately turned her body around easily, so that now they were facing each other.

"What's wrong with you, Anne? Are you mad at me? You hate me because I didn't pick you up?" Jack demanded. 

Being asked like that reminded Anne even more about the incident that she wanted to forget. Her tears streamed even more rapidly down her cheeks which were reddened by the cold. Jack, who didn't like seeing Anne cry, immediately gave her a kiss. He kissed Anne's lips greedily and swallowed Anne's tears which did not taste salty to him. Anne, who usually refused to be kissed like that this time just gave in, which surprised Jack. He immediately ended the hot kiss.

Jack grabbed Anne's face which was still lowered after he let go of his grip and looked into Anne's eyes which were still tearing up. "Stop crying or I'm going to fuck you right now, Anne," he said quietly, giving her a death threat that always managed to make Anne stop crying.

  Hearing Jack's threat made Anne lift her face and return Jack's death stare. "Why? Why is sex so important for men? Don't you think about anything else besides sex? Why, Jack...? Why do you always intimidate me by bringing up sex like that? Do you think after you managed to do that with me, you're going to be satisfied, Jack? Is that the purpose of a man approaching a woman? Is it only sex that is really on your mind? Boo hoo..." 

Anne cried out, she cried harder than before. More tears pouring out of her eyes which were already swollen. Seeing Anne cry like that made Jack silent. He felt there was something wrong with Anne. He was sure that Anne was not crying because he didn't pick her up. 

"Leonardo Ganke, did that bastard make you like this, Anne? What did he do? Did that bastard lion try to touch you again?" Jack asked various questions that immediately crossed his mind. 

Anne, who was still crying, ignored Jack's questions. She still wanted to release all the tightness in her chest that she had been holding in after hearing what Steffi and Leon were doing at the office. 

"If you don't answer then I assume you agree with the question I asked earlier. You wait here. I will make the lion regret for making you cry like this, Anne, I will make him useless as a man by..."

"It was Ste-Steffi ...not Leon. That woman purposely nicked my wound, Jack, boo hoo." Anne interrupted Jack's words stammering, mentioning Steffi's name again made her chest hurt. 

Thump!

With bloodshot eyes Jack said "Steffi, what did that ungrateful woman do to you?"
