His Destructive, Toxic Love novel Chapter 61

Casper was a tyrant in bed, never giving a damn about Eliza's feelings. She loathed the loveless sex they shared.

"Isn’t it awkward doing this with our eyes wide open?" she asked icily, glaring at him.

Her words instantly ticked him off. Pinning her down, he flipped her over, pressing his full weight against her back. Eliza hated this position and struggled a bit.

"Hold still," he snarled, his hot breath against her ear. "Mrs. Welton, haven't you figured out how to please your husband yet? Maybe you need a little lesson, hmm?"

In this setting, his words dripped with a twisted kind of intimacy. She felt a mix of discomfort and fear.

"Casper, please... don't," she pleaded.

Grabbing her chin, he forced her to face him, kissing her hard while his hand gripped her waist. "Isn’t this part of normal married life?"

His lips slid down her neck, biting into her delicate shoulder. Eliza winced in pain. He intertwined his fingers with hers, their bodies close, whispers of false affection filling the quiet night.

Yet, this supposed intimacy did nothing to change their relationship. He didn't love her; it was all about physical need. His emotional needs were never about her. If Nova hadn't been unwell, Eliza wouldn't have had to endure these 'sexual favors.'

"You..." Nova scoffed, "By the way, tonight Casper is taking me to an important gala. I heard everyone is bringing their wives."

Eliza smirked, "Your presence will surely leave an impression."

Furious, Nova grabbed a decorative screen and hurled it. Eliza stepped aside lightly, and the screen shattered on the marble floor. Marian watched, her heart sinking. That screen wasn't cheap; it was a cherished gift Aubdrey gave Casper and Eliza at their wedding. Now, it lay in pieces, thanks to Nova. The servants couldn't bear the responsibility for this.

Marian followed closely behind Eliza, leaving the living room with a heavy sigh.
