I understand. She’s searching for telltale signs. Ever since they found me walking on the roof and I fell and broke my arm, my parents have been extra wary of the tiniest change.
Is this what happened with the stairs
I’m starting to think the answer is a resounding no. Worse, I have no idea what to feel about the fact that I’m the reason he’s in a tough situation with his father and lost a project I’ve often heard him discuss with Leo. I’d like to think it’s not my fault that he walked out due to a stupid reason like my attempt to provoke him, but it still nags at me.
Its your fault
“What do you want in return?” Robert drops his fork and knife to the dish but doesn’t release them as his lips curl in a lopsided smirk and then points his knife at me. “Your wife for a night. You can have my wife in return.” My jaw nearly hits the floor. What the—
This dude wants to die....
He’s not thinking about it, is he? I’d cut off his dick while he sleeps if he so much as— In a flash, Eli snatches the knife and jams it through the back of Robert’s hand. The blinding strength breaks the dish and Robert’s blood mixes with the meat’s as his hollowing scream fills the restaurant. All eyes are on us and a few waiters rush over to the scene. Janet shrieks as she jumps up, and then falls back to her seat. Eli stands with eerie collectiveness and buttons his jacket. “You’re lucky we’re in public or that knife would’ve been deep in your throat. Look at my wife again and I’ll gouge

Holy shit
“Good, because there’s no option for you with another man.” “Because you’d stab them?” “Stab them, sabotage them, smash their goddamn lives to smithereens, force them to vanish without a trace. Take your pick. There’s no peaceful future for any other man in your life, wife.”
Oop
“What…what have you done, Eli?” “The question is, what haven’t I done?” “You’re sick.” “You made me sick. Next time you parade yourself around, begging for attention, I want you to think about Robert’s blood and multiply it tenfold, because they’ll be swimming in theirs once I’m done with them. You’re my wife and those who don’t respect that fact will be dealt with accordingly.” “Including me?” “Including you.”

My husband is a full-blown sociopath, and I’m his insane, completely illogical obsession.
Leo and I gossip now. All the time.
Haha i love it
It still feels sick that I got off on the same hands that mutilated another person, and even found it hot, but I’ve come to the realization that I’m far from normal.
Its hot
Mum and Dad should’ve made sure she got into the car with a fucking driver, not on her own. If Landon hadn’t told me, I would’ve probably found her in a ditch by now.
What the fuck is happening
“You won’t object?” “About?” “Me calling him Leo.” “Do you want me to object?” “Nope.” She smiles and kisses my cheek. “You can be so adorable when you’re compliant, babe.” And then she slides into the back seat. I remain rooted in place, resisting the urge to touch where her lips burned my skin. Did she just call me adorable and babe in the same sentence after kissing my cheek? Jesus fucking Christ.
Eeee
“For the record,” Henderson says as I step out of the car. “She was stressed about the fact that she’s the reason you got kicked out of the project twice and has been brainstorming ways to help. Do you believe it was easy for her to go to your father and out herself as the reason? Do you believe a proud person like her wants to be seen as your weakness by your parents?” My jaw clenches. “You’re talking too much today. Is this your two weeks’ notice?” “No, it’s my humanity notice,” he says with a blank face before he turns around and leaves.
Get him Leo!!
She goes back down and flashes me a sweet smile. “You’ll have to share my bed, too. I’m not your whore, Eli. I’m your wife and you’ll treat me as such.”
Get him!!!!
“Selfish?” I let out fake laughter. “Honey, I’m wearing his ring, so that gives me every right to be selfish over my belongings. You, however, need to remove yourself from this party and subsequently my life. I cut contact and didn’t invite you for a reason. Read between the lines, please. Oh, and Eli doesn’t even know your first name. He only recalls the last because he does business with your family. Sorry to break it to you, but you’re not that important.”
Damn!
“I’ve been patient, but you don’t want patient, do you? You want to be punished like a very bad wife.”
Me next
“Let me ask one thing.” “Yes?” “Will I ever be normal enough to have children?” She remains silent and that’s all the answer I need. If I have children, I can’t raise them or I’ll most likely be a threat to them. Better yet, I shouldn’t have them for everyone’s sake. And that will leave the heir of King Enterprises heirless. Because of me. I came to Dr. Blaine to seek answers, but I leave with a heavy heart and tears burning my eyes.
My fucking heart
The power to lock me up in an asylum and marry another woman who can give him children. Maybe someone from old money like Gemma.
No
I’m losing her. Again. She’s slipping between my fingers. Again. Her presence is diminishing. Fucking again.
So why dont you just tell her!
“Jesus fucking Christ. How come all your attitude disappears when my cock talks to your cunt?”
Because its thr only time you both let down walls
“Let’s have a baby.”
Oh Ava
“Dear Eli.” He speaks in a nonchalant voice. “You’re probably wondering why I’m writing you this letter, but I had to put these feelings on paper and hope they’ll somehow reach you. You see, I’ve had a major crush on you for years, but you always treated me like a kid who’s not worth your time.
Hes read that shit 1000s of times
“Hello?” I answer. “Ava, it’s me.” “Vance? Where’s your old number?” “I suspect it was blocked from your side.” “I didn’t block you.” “Then your husband did.”
Get out dude
“Ollie, you scared me!” “Is everything all right?”
I KNEW HE DID SOMETHING
“You still gave me mixed signals, and you know that. You enjoy it, right? Being an attention whore is your personality, after all.”
Fuck you
“Where’s your influential family now? Maybe they’ll be here to clean my cum off your dirty cunt. Let’s see if it’s worth all this hassle.”
Omg!!
“Shut your trap, bitch!” He lifts my head and slams it against the car.
If he isnt dead he should be
Oliver is sprawled out on the ground, his body pinned beneath a larger figure. It’s Eli.
GOOD
“My first time murdering someone and it’s disappointingly not as euphoric as promised. If anything, I feel nothing.”
Damn Eli
He strokes his thumb on my trembling lower lip. “Marry me and I’ll bury our secret.”
Weird clause
“You seem to believe you have a choice, but you don’t. Either you stay still and go through with the wedding, or you leave. If you choose the second option, I’ll find you and I’ll kidnap you to a place no one can find you. I’ll lock you the fuck up and you’ll never see your parents or friends ever again. And if you prove to be a hassle, I’ll slice your fucking throat and end your life as effortlessly as I did Oliver’s.”
Ok Eli...
She straightens with stiff movements and stares at my chest with wide eyes, fresh tears streaming down her face. “I…I asked you to let me go and you…you said no and I…I…I stabbed you! The scar in your abdomen is because of me.”
This girl has me sobbing
“I’m in so much pain. I can’t take it anymore.” “Everything’s going to be all right.” “No, it won’t. I think it’s time I accept that.” She pushes the shard of glass against her neck. “Ava, no!” “Divorce me or I will kill myself.”
OMG
“If you don’t do as promised, I’ll find a way to commit suicide. Whether by throwing myself off a bridge, a building, or in front of a train. I will swallow a bottle of pills or slice my wrists or even hang myself. I will do everything to take myself from your vicinity if you don’t give me back my freedom. I promise I will! I promise I will!” Her words have no different effect than if she’d stabbed me again. No. They’re much worse.
AVA
Toward the stairs. “Ava!” I shout as she falls backward and a haunting thud fills my ears. For a moment, my whole world goes black. And I know, I just know, that if she’s gone, I’ll make sure it’s the end for me as well.
Thisis devastating
So I promised Cole to send him the signed divorce and guardianship agreements first thing in the morning. Sam packed my wife’s suitcases and Henderson helped load them into the van as I stood by my study’s window watching my wife—soon-to-be-ex-wife—being carried, unconscious, in her father’s arms before she was driven away from me for good. She signed the divorce papers with her father’s guardianship the following day.
Omg thats so fucking sad
“She’s been getting remarkably better since she left your toxic orbit, but especially since Cecy came by a few days ago.”
Fuck off Ari
“You’re anything but fine.” Dad sits on my other side. “No need to pretend you’re doing okay after Cole got his wish.” “It’s her wish, too.” The words are exceptionally hard to spit out. “She wanted the divorce enough to put her life on the line for it.” Mum continues caressing my back softly. “I’m so sorry. No one deserves to go through that.” “I do. I lied to her, knowing full well the consequences wouldn’t be pretty once she found out. And I was proven right, yet again.”
Omg this hurts
“She will be. Ava’s strong and will bounce back. Besides.” Mum pats my shoulder. “She’s worth waiting for.” She is. Since she waited years for me to come around. I can do the same. For as long as it takes.
Fuck
Hell, I’ve been dreaming about him reading those books to me as I lay my head on his lap. In the dream, Eli will stroke my cheeks, kiss my forehead, and tell me in a deep, soothing voice, “Sleep tight.”
Baby girl...
“My watch. The one that you’re wearing,” I blurt. “I bought it, not Aunt Elsa, and now, I don’t want you to wear it anymore. Give it back!” He glances back at me, his voice deep, smooth, and cryptic. “No.” “I told you I’m the one who had it made.” “I know. Mum mentioned that a couple of years ago. It’s mine now and I don’t give away what’s mine.” “I thought I was yours, too, at some point, but you had no issue giving up on me.”
Girl please
“I’ll always be there.” He strokes my cheek, my nose, the corner of my mouth, wiping all my tears with eyes so soft and loving, I want to drown in them. “Even if I get worse?” “Especially if you get worse.” “Even if I don’t want you?” “Even then. Though you wanted me since you were a kid. I doubt that will ever change.”
Omg babies
“The phoenix is you.” He kisses my throat, sucking on my pulse, and I arch, giving him further access. “M-me?” “You’re a beautiful mythical being who can be born from the ashes of your illness.” “And the tree of life?” My words end on a moan as he keeps sucking and devouring my throat. “That’s me. I believed I could contain your rebirth, every time.” “Oh, Eli.” I clutch his cheeks and kiss him, wedging my tongue between his teeth and sucking on his.
“I love you, Mr. King. I’m all yours.” “Love you, too, Mrs. King.” And then he’s kissing me again. I fall into him and welcome our new life together with a happy, tearful smile.
My loves
“Nothing that excessive.” I hesitate. “I…want children. Our children.” “Then you will have them. All three of them.” “R-really?” “You thought I’d say no?” “Yeah, well. You weren’t as open to the idea when we last talked about it.” “That was under different circumstances. You’re better now. Stronger. Livelier. If you want children, I’ll impregnate you with as many of them as you wish.”
Eeeeee
“I think I’m going to die.” I stroke my wife’s blonde locks away from her face. “Not as long as I’m here.” “When I said I wanted three children, I didn’t mean at the same time.” “I know.” “It’s all because of you, bastard.” She closes her eyes while sitting upright as little Sierra sucks on her nipple.
Lmao
By the time she’d finished the exponential job of birthing three whole humans, she was exhausted, her lips were chapped, and her face had lost color, but as soon as the nurse put our babies in our arms, she was smiling and crying. It was at that moment that I realized I have a whole family to be responsible for now. Two beautiful girls and a boy. And most importantly, their mother.
Omg!! Yay
