"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.

Roseline's POV
Today is the big day for badminton, the final match where our team's victory rests on me. After making it through all the tryouts, I have earned my spot in the finals.
This match is super important because both teams are tied and whoever wins takes it all.
Kevin already played his game and his team came out on top. The pressure is on me now. If I mess up, it'll undo all the hard work the whole team put in. I knew how crucial today was, so I took my meds before leaving home. Still, my head feels a bit woozy and I am feeling weak despite having a stomach full of fruits in the morning.
Within ten minutes our match will start and I was pacing back and forth to calm down my jitters when I felt a reassuring hand over my shoulder.
