I smacked the caterpillar to death with a cup.

But my heart was burning with pain.

While he was lost in thought, the two parents pushed the door open.

Mr. & Mrs. Anderson exchanged a few pleasantries.

In both words and deeds, they advised me to be more sensible and not bring shame to The Anderson Family.

My parents nodded and agreed.

As soon as the man left, he turned around and slapped me.

"You are useless. You couldn't keep Alexander's heart after eight years of marriage. Isabella can coax him away with just a beckoning of her fingers. What use are you to?"

The more my mother spoke, the angrier she became.

He picked up the feather duster on the table and hit me with it.

When it happened for the fourth time, I couldn't bear it anymore and grabbed her hand.

"You've gotten enough benefits from me over the years. It's time to stop."

Mom sneered twice.

"I don't care what you plan to do, just remember one thing."

"If you dare to divorce, we will publish an announcement in the newspaper to sever our family ties with you. We, The Rossi Family, cannot afford to lose this person!"

The two men walked away angrily.

The tone was calm, without any trace of emotion.

"Why bother?"

"With these two children here, no matter who I think of, you will always be Mrs. Anderson."

"I am not."

I turned sideways, silently avoiding Alexander's touch.

I am a tool used by The Rossi Family to gain benefits, and a reproductive machine for The Anderson Family.

She is a nanny in the eyes of outsiders and a burden in the eyes of her family.

No matter what I do, I can never satisfy everyone.

I have endured this in silence for thirty years.
