Anger replaced his happiness.
He said, “But why would you refuse someone like
me? At least take your time to think about it.”
She replied, “It is not because of your identity. It is
because I have two young children I need to raise and I do
not have time for a new marriage. I do not need time for
thinking because I have already thought deeply about this
matter and taken my decision.”

children. And if there was an exception it would not be for
a dangerous thief and criminal like him.
His anger increased. “But –”
She interrupted him, “Sorry, I have to go.”
She closed the door and went inside her house,
while he was standing there burning with extreme anger.
He was from the kind of men who thought they were the
best and most powerful. He had a great pride that he would
not accept the idea that he would be refused by a woman.
Although her refusal was very tough, he did not
give up as he was a stubborn man.

figures of the town who were his close friends, to convince
her. He sent the one called Richard.
Richard came to Tania’s house.
