"This is my bed, and this is my room. Get out of my room," Devon said to Clara and Tommy. Tommy and Clara looked at Devon with disbelief. They wondered how Devon had become so bold suddenly.

"This is our house. We stay where we want," Tommy said angrily.

"Then go back to your own rooms. What are you doing in the basement?" Devon asked.

Tommy and Clara exchanged glances. They knew they couldn't go back to their rooms because their father wouldn't allow it.

"I want to sleep. It's night. You sleep somewhere else, Devon," Clara said, sitting on Devon's bed.

Devon, filled with anger, reached for Clara, grabbing her hair and pushing her out of the room while she screamed in anger and pain.

"Hey, stop it!" Tommy shouted, jumping into the fray and trying to hit Devon. Devon, who had plenty of experience with getting beaten, dodged Tommy's swing and pushed him away from the room.

"Don't set foot in my room. This is my room," Devon yelled.

"If you don't let us in, we'll..."

"You'll what? Tell your father? Go ahead and tell him," Devon replied as Clara ran upstairs.

"Clara, no! Don't go!" Tommy called after her.

Tommy and Devon stayed silent, not knowing what would happen next. After a few minutes, they heard Clara screaming and Reuben's angry voice. Tommy looked down in frustration and began to cry silently, realizing there was no one to save them now.

Reuben was furious with Clara for ruining his mood. How dare she come to him and complain about Devon? Clara and Tommy had ruined his marriage, leading to his wife being sent to jail. After he punished Clara, she went back to the basement crying.

"NANCY, NANCY," Reuben called loudly for the young maid. Nancy quickly appeared, confused about why Reuben was speaking to her.

"You better sleep in my room tonight," Reuben said, leaving Nancy wide-eyed with surprise. She hadn't seen that coming. "If you don't want to do that, that's fine. But you can pack your things and leave. You know it's not a big deal for me to find a woman to work in my house who desperately needs money. Right, Nancy? It's so easy for me to replace you," Reuben whispered angrily.

"I'll... I'll sleep in your room, Mr. Reuben," Nancy stammered. It's not that she had never had sex before, and she wanted to keep her job. She was getting good pay working in Reuben's house and didn't want to miss the opportunity.

When Teressa woke up in the morning, it was around 7 AM. Although Reuben had promised to give her job back, Teressa decided to leave the village. She might get her job back, but the rumors would never stop, no matter what Reuben said.

Teressa put her bags in her car and drove onto the road. She didn't even bother to put her house up for sale at this point; she was in such a hurry to leave. She thought she might do that later.

She drove a few miles and turned onto a road without any houses or people. The path was covered with trees, and there was a cliff just a few feet away. As she drove, she noticed a truck approaching from behind. She assumed it must have come from a side road. It looked like the truck was in a hurry, so she gave it enough space to overtake, even though there was only her car and the truck on the road.

Instead of overtaking her, the truck collided with her car, sending it off the road. Fortunately, it didn't roll near the cliff.

Teressa was confused about what had just happened. She felt stuck in the car, which was now in a narrow position. She tried to move but couldn't. She realized the truck had fled after hitting her car. She couldn't even feel her phone.

"Help me! Somebody help me! I'm stuck here!" she yelled.
