His Destructive, Toxic Love

He couldn't stand being around her, so much so that he'd come home only in the dead of night.

Though he clearly didn't like her, he was strangely addicted to her body. Beyond their physical encounters, he knew almost nothing about her.

"Plain broth again?" he suddenly said.

Eliza didn't turn around. "I made egg soup," she replied calmly.

"No meat?"

Eliza opened the fridge and pulled out a sausage. "Will this do?"

"It'll have to," he grumbled.

Eliza brought the bowl to him with a smile. "Here you go, enjoy."

"Just one portion?" he asked, looking up.

"There's more."

"Get another one and join me."

Eliza shook her head. "I can't afford such a fancy meal."

"It's on me."

Eliza stayed put.

Casper twirled some pasta, blew on them, and held them out to her. "Come on, try it."

Eliza hesitated. "...You eat it."

Feeling awkward, she retreated to the kitchen to clean up the mess.

Suddenly, strong arms wrapped around her from behind, making her scream. "Let go of me, Casper! What are you doing?"

"I've never heard you scream like that in bed."

His chin rested on her shoulder, making her stiffen.

Was he losing it? She felt his body react and wanted to escape, but the cramped space left her trapped.

"This is an apartment for single people."

"What are you trying to say?" he murmured, biting gently behind her ear. "Eliza, we're married, not having an affair."

"I don't like this."

"Then who are you saving yourself for?" he asked, lifting her onto the countertop, his hands trapping her in place. "Eliza, was Aaron gentle with you?"

Her eyes, bright and intense, locked onto his. "Mr. Casper, what do you want to hear?"

"I want the truth."

"I bet you've already imagined it, Aaron and me in bed. And yes, it's exactly what you think."

She knew provoking him was risky, but dealing with someone as unstable as him left her no choice.

Casper laughed abruptly, his eyes dark and piercing. "So, you did sleep with him?"

"Believe whatever you want. Just don't ask me these questions."

His hand shot to her neck. "Eliza, you really know how to drive me mad."

"Isn't this what you wanted to hear?" she spat, glaring at him. "Isn't this your excuse for revenge?"

"Looks like you're not scared of my revenge anymore." He released her neck. "could call the hospital right now and you'd deal with the

ences."

"Please, no." Her head dropped, her body cold. "I'm sorry."

She was terrified, utterly terrified. He wasn't thinking like a normal human being.

"I'll give you a chance to make it up to me." He gripped her waist, pulling her close. "Kiss me."
