"You're no better than me Elijah we are both equals."
"You'll never be my equal, it will pay you to remember that. I'm inferior to you always. You will obey me as my wife and as my P.A. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?"
I scowled at him. How dare he compare me to a low class slut. How dare he tell me that I am not his equal or did he not understand the terms of a partnership, especially a marriage? How dare he say he is more inferior than me! I understand we both come from very different backgrounds, but that no f*****g excuse to treat me like trash.
He glared angrily at me and I was not backing down, I was determined not to back down. He grabbed my chin and yanked my head so I stared him straight into his eyes. His stare angry and cold. "Do you understand?"
"f**k YOU!"
He squeezed tighter. "How dare you disrespect me. I'm your husband."
"And I'm your wife, we are both as equal as one another."
The blood oozed out of my face as he dug his nails in further. "You are nothing to me Alaina you will never be my equal so shall we try that again shall we?"
I nodded. I was going to pass out any minute from the pressure on my face. He glared daggers into my eyes. "I'm you're inferior to you do you understand."
I nodded.
"Do you understand Alaina?'
"Yes."
"Good." He said, and let go of my face.
I dropped to the floor.
"Don't ever talk back, share your opinions or ever disrespect me again cause you will be punished severely, and I don't mean like I did on our wedding day , this will be worse. I promise you that."
His foot connected with my gut and to my face before. He walked away and everything around me went black. I knew I'd pissed him off to the brink.
I can't believe this all started with an argument in his office about me wanting to do more for the company. I wanted to do more, learn more, but he was having none of it and when I tried to help out during his meeting he scowled at me and cut his eyes like I didn't know what I was talking about, though his investors were impressed he clearly wasn't and told me I had no right in interfering in his business so, again why the f**k was I there, and why the f**k am I his f*****g P.A? If I wasn't aloud to give my input.
I HATE HIM!
I hate Elijah f*****g Rivera.
I was in no rush to get home that night. Suddenly the door creaked open. I didn't want to see any one more so I didn't want anyone to see me like this.
"Oh my god darling what the hell happened?"
I knew who it was, my ticket to freedom out of this sham marriage. My saviour, Jasper, if I let him.
He picked me up in his armm. "Please don't tell me he done this to you Angel."
I looked at him before all around me went black.

I messed up, I messed up big time. I should never have agreed to this marriage so I wouldn't lose everything. Loose my dignity. Jasper sat me down in the chair, my face looked a mess, my body looked a mess. I had been battered, bruised and raped by the man who was my so called husband. I couldn't bear the thought of being alone with him, I couldn't stand the thought of this happening again and again.
I needed to get away. I needed to be as far away from him as possible. I should never have entered this contract with him. It meant he could get away with anything and I couldn't do Jack s**t about it.
Jasper looked at me sympathetically I so wished he didn't I don't need sympathy right now. I just needed to get the f**k out of here.
"What happened darling?"
"I don't need your pity Jasper."
"This isn't pity met darling, this is concern for a friend. I know we didn't get off on the best foot. But, we are friends and friends are always there for each other and look out for each other."
"I know, I'm sorry. I just miss my parents, I miss talking to them. I can't believe that they're no longer with me and I have to put up with this asshole until the debt is paid, if it ever is."
"What is the deal between you and Mr. Rivera?' He looked at her. 'If you don't mind me asking."
"I was his intern at his company through college. My parents passed away leaving a lot of debt and the only way it would get paid off was by this dumb contract between me and Elijah. He wanted a contract marriage, he'd pay off the debt, but I had to become his wife and do as a wife does whilst he is allowed to do what he damn pleases."
"And you agreed to this?"
"I had no choice, I had nothing, no job, no home. Just college I had no other choice so I could survive. Now I'm regretting it."
