Blackmail

Alexander went to the end of the hallway and reread the messages, [I don't want to end our good relationship with reporting this to the authorities, but see the bruise. It is kind of hard to hide them.]

He looked at the pictures and saw the bruises on her neck. That must be from his choking this evening. The red colour was light but yes, it was visible. He snorted in disbelief, "So this time a blackmail." He talked to himself, before replying to Layla, [What do you want?]

Instead of another notification of a message, he received a call from her. "Are you nervous?" That was the first thing she asked, the moment he answered the call.

"Why should I? Don't you think you should be the one?" He calmly replied.

"Hmm, well…back to your question earlier. I just want you to divorce Camellia." She said those words without any guilt or shame.
