Chapter 4

Mark gave his father a serious look.

The father realized what he was doing and quickly lowered his hand.

Father: I truly apologize for what I did.

Mother (harshly): I don’t accept your apology. Since when does society accept a man hitting a woman, and you don’t even know me?

Father: I will do everything to please you. What do you want?

Mark's Mother: Do you think I’ll ask for money? No, no, I want to live here.

Mark (in shock): Mom!! Have you lost your mind?

Mark's Mother lightly hit him on the head: I’m your mother, don’t call me crazy.

Father (without hesitation): Of course, of course, you can stay here.

  • The father ordered the servants to prepare the guest room.

Mark's Mother: I want to stay in the room next to my son’s room.

Father: Of course, of course.

  • Ordered the servants to arrange the room next to the personal guards' room.

In the Father’s Room

Father: What kind of family have I gotten myself into?

Hannah: He deserves it. Why did he hit him? I told you not to hit him.

Hannah's Mother: By the way...

Father and Hannah (together): What is it?

Hannah's Mother: He looks so much like her. He’s really handsome.

Father: Is that what you’re thinking about right now!!!!

Hannah: Dad, you need to accept this, and I need to get ready for my lecture soon.

Father: Does your personal guard study too?

Hannah: Yes, he’s at the same college as me, Dad.

Father: What!!! Haven’t you seen him before at the university?

Hannah: No, I just found out he’s with me.

In Mark's Mother's Room

Mark (affectionately): My wonderful heart’s prisoner, you were a real heroine.

Mark's Mother: Why did you stop me?

Mark: Because I work here. Why do you want to live with me? They fired you from work, right?

  • She lowered her head.

Mark's Mother: Well, they were speaking disrespectfully to me. I’m a woman, after all; I have my rights...

Mark: Ugh, Mom, why are you doing this? You know you’ve been fired for the sixth time. Are you going to look for a new job?

Mark's Mother: Yes, I’ll look for a new job, and I’ll stay with you this time.

Mark (angrily): Am I repeating myself!!! I told you, you’ll stay where you are. I’m in a... - She slapped him on the cheek.

Mark's Mother: Don’t raise your voice at your mother, young man.

Mark: My cheek is pleading for mercy. Do you know this is the fifth time I’ve been slapped?

Mark's Mother: Now I see that they hit you because you disrespect them, you impudent one.

Mark: Mom!! You need to stand by me.

Mark's Mother: You’re wrong. In the end, you have to bear your mistakes.

  • Hannah’s voice from downstairs:

Hannah: Markkkk, we’re late.

Mark: I’ll go now, Mom. I’ll talk to you later. - Kisses her forehead and leaves.

At Mark's Father’s House

Father’s Wife: I can sit comfortably now without any disturbance or mess. This feels so nice.

  • Jake rushed downstairs.

Father’s Wife (fearfully): I just got out of the hospital. Don’t do this to me. Come on, go upstairs.

Jake (sharply): I suddenly hate you. My mother should be loving to everyone, not just her son.

  • Pushes her hand away.

Jake: I don’t want you to call me your son if you’re so spiteful. I’m leaving.

Leaves without looking at her.

She immediately burst into tears.

The father came downstairs in shock.

Father: What’s wrong, dear? Why are you sad? The person who makes you sad has left.

Father’s Wife (sadly): Jake is rejecting me as his mother now.

Father: He can’t. You’re his mother. He’s just a bit angry. He’ll return to his old self soon. Don’t worry, dear.

Father’s Wife: I’m tired of this. I want my son back and for him to be mine.

Father: He’s yours, dear. Don’t do this. - Hugs her.

  • She immediately pushed him away.

Father’s Wife: I’m angry with you. You made me leave in front of that scum.

Father (angrily): Don’t call her scum!!

Father’s Wife: Why? Am I your wife if you love her so much?

Father: You know this house is also in her name, and you made me your husband willingly.

Father: I told you I wouldn’t love you, but I would give you your rights as my wife. And remember, that child is not my son, and you got me into that.

Lets go of her hand and leaves without listening to what she says.

She shed tears and continued crying.

At the Mansion

Ivan: May I go, madam? It’s time for my lecture now.

Hannah’s Mother: Oh right, I forgot. You can go. I apologize.

Ivan: No, no, it’s fine, dear - He said without realizing.

Ivan: I mean, madam, I apologize.

Mother: Yes, you can go.

He bowed to her and left.

Went to the nearby café.

Ivan: Ugh, Jumana, you fool. We’re late.

Aunt: Hello, Ivan.

Ivan: Oh, sorry, Aunt. Could you call Jumana?

Aunt: Wait a minute.

Sat down to wait.

The Aunt went up to Jumana’s room.

Aunt (angrily): Hurry up, your lover is waiting downstairs!

Jumana: He’s really fast.

Aunt: The mansion is close by. How could he be late?

  • She hurried downstairs and hugged him immediately before he could greet her.

Jumana: Silly, silly, I missed you so much. I couldn’t hug or talk to you because of the servants. Damn it.

  • Ivan laughed and gave in to her hug.

Ivan: My wonderful dear, I missed you more. Do you know how sad it is to look into your eyes and not kiss you?

  • She immediately broke the hug and hit him.

Jumana: Do you know that you’re sweet-talking and deceiving me now? - Pushes him towards the door.

Jumana: We’re late. Hurry up.

Ivan: Okay, okay. - Takes her hand and smiles.

Jumana: Tell me what’s happening in your day in that big mansion.

Ivan: I remembered something embarrassing that happened to me.

Jumana: What is it?

Ivan: I called the lady “dear.” It was embarrassing. - Lowers his head.

Jumana laughed loudly.

He lightly hit her on the head.

Ivan: Are you crazy? What’s with that loud laugh?

Jumana: You were thinking of me, I know that. - Laughs even louder.

  • He put his hand over her mouth and quickened his pace.

Ivan: Soon they’ll cut me up and kill me because of your annoying laugh.

In a Strange Place

...: Where is that lady? - Picture of Mark’s Mother.

...: I don’t know, sir. I was watching her for a while, but she disappeared as if she knew I was watching her.

...: Do you know where her son is?

...: No, sir. It seems she has disowned him. I don’t see him with her.

...: Search for her thoroughly!!! Otherwise, the sir will kill us if he finds out we lost her.

...: Yes, sir.


In the University

Hana: Listen, Mark.

Mark (from behind): Yes, ma'am?

Hana: I don’t want you to call me ma'am here since we’ll be spending a lot of time together.

Mark: What should I call you?

Hana: Hana.

Mark: Your father will be upset with me.

Hana: But you’re my bodyguard, not my father’s bodyguard?

Mark: Alright, alright, Hana.

Hana: Good, this sounds great. Treat me as a friend here.

Mark: But I haven’t accepted you as a friend?

Hana: Ugh, your tongue. I should cut it off someday.

  • Laughs lightly -

Mark: You asked for this, not me.

Hana: I’m the one who asked for it.

Mark: Right, right, you’re very mistaken.

Hana: You like to annoy people, don’t you?

Mark: No, I just find you amusing - laughs lightly -

Hana: Mark, can I ask you something?

Mark: Go ahead.

Hana: Well… is she really your mother?

Mark: Yes, why?

Hana: I thought you were her father - teasing him -

Mark: Haha. You’re silly, thinking you’re funny and foolish.

Hana: Not as foolish as you.

Mark: Ugh, I’ll stay silent since you’re starting to annoy me.

A person came close to Hana and touched her back deliberately -

Mark slapped the person's hand and put it behind his back -

Mark: How can you harass girls like that?

  • The person: This doesn’t concern you - was in pain -

Mark: Be polite, especially with this girl, because I’ll beat you if you touch her - pushed him hard into the wall -

Hana: Ugh, you’re harsh.

Mark: Aren’t you going to thank me? Your friend just helped you.

Hana: You’re really harsh about everything.

Mark: You could at least say thank you?

Hana: No, I won’t - turned her head and smiled -

Mark: You’re the damn one defending you.

  • She turned again - : You’re my bodyguard after all.

Mark: Ugh, you really have a strange split personality. How do you change your words in less than ten minutes?

He went to get her coffee, and the café was somewhat empty -

Suddenly, flour was thrown on Hana from above without her noticing who did it -

She was cleaning herself and walking towards Mark -

She was about to collide with the wall, but Mark quickly placed his hand on the wall -
