"St... Stay away" Her voice trembled in fear as he leaned closer, invading her personal space. His palms were pressed against the wall, caging her in his embrace while her tiny fists were making futile attempts to push him back. "So, you want me to go out to satisfy my needs when I have a beautiful wife at home?" His thumb stroked her lips, his eyes fixated on them, unyielding and hungry. "But you made it clear that your heart belongs to someone else and our marriage is nothing but an agreement" her heart throbbed with pain as she thought about it. After the horrific and pitiful past, all she yearned was for a man who could understand and love her but destiny has bestowed her a devil for a husband. "That's true" he cocked his head "But we don't love every chic we fuck. Do we?" His callous words shattered Roseline's world. All she wanted was to cry on her fate!

Roseline's POV
I was still blushing like an idiot when we sat back in the car.
"Stop overthinking, I just brought it for you because the lady was insisting on me and I didn't want to show that I hesitate in spending money. And the thing about buying you street food is that, after this contract ends I don't want you to remember me as a heartless monster who kept you hungry" the one who hardly says any word spoke so much in his clarification.
It broke my heart knowing that it wasn't because he regretted his behavior or felt remorse for treating me poorly. I was sure that the pain was quite too visible on my face so I tried to mask it with my witness.
