"You selfish son of a bastard", she spat wiping her lips with the back of her hand. Elijah gulped at her furious face. s**t! s**t! s**t!
"How dare you", she cried throwing a pillow at him angrily. He couldn't help his eyes from wandering south, where her ample breasts were raising up and down with each angry breath she took. "My eyes are up here, you asshole", she yelled again pulling the duvet off the bed roughly, making Eli trip and fall face first on the bed.
He winced at the sudden impact and got up sitting on his knees. He looked at her passively bringing on his business mode and put the best blank face he could manage. "You don't have to over react", he crossed his arms across his chest, because no matter how cool he wanted to look, his chest was already racing a marathon because of what just happened.
"Don't you dare give me that emotionless face. I have seen enough blank faces to not get intimidated by them", she snapped glaring at him with wide angry eyes.
He sighed and walked towards her on his knees, "Okay fine. I am sorry. I lost control", he shrugged.
"You lost control?" she asked fisting her hands tightly. Elijah gulped nervously. What is she doing? He nodded nevertheless,
"You lost control? You sick son of a b***h!" she spat going around the bed to the bedside table and grabbed the lamp
"Oyeeee", Eli raised his hands up in surrender, "What the f**k is wrong with you crazy woman? Keep the lamp down", he cried out walking away from her and getting down the bed on the opposite side.
"I am losing control", she snapped and yanked the cord out of the socket and pulled the lamp out. Sparks emitted from the socket where she roughly pulled the cord from, but she was too furious to notice,
"s**t", Eli did notice the sparks, "Ace! Stop acting crazy!" he snapped angrily at her irrational behavior. She was still fuming, when he walked across towards her and grabbed the lamp which she held above her head in an attack position.
"Let it go", he demanded in a no nonsense voice grabbing the lamp.
"No, I won't. You jerk", she tried to hit him, but his hold on the lamp was too strong for her.
"I. Said. Let. It. Go", he stepped closer to her, stressing each word with pure anger. That's it, she took it one step too far! Sang gulped and her eyes widened in fear. He was standing too close to her that their chests were pressed together and their breaths mingled. He didn't drop her gaze and slowly he was winning. Because Sang's grip was loosening on the lamp and her breathing ragged, not because of anger, but because of arousal.
Sang let the lamp go and stepped back, looking away. He bent down to the table and set the lamp back and plugged the cord back into its socket.
"Don't do something so stupid like that again", he reprimanded her like a child and walked back,
"You dipshit!" he whirled around at her insult, "How dare you tell me what to do and what not to do?" she yelled balling her fists,
He walked to her angrily and grabbed her shoulders, "Don't shout. Our parents are in the same house, they can hear you", he hissed
"Really? How come you suddenly care about our parents hearing us? Because moments ago, you didn't bother to keep the volume low", she hissed back.
He just smirked, "I am not the one who's gonna scream baby", he gave her smug look. Her eyes blazed with fury and she literally shook in anger.
"You f*****g slum dog", she hissed making him gulp in fear and take a step back. She walked to the coffee table at the other end of the room and picked up a paper weight, "You don't deserve to live", she cried and plunged the paper weight at him.
The action was so sudden that Eli didn't have time to duck from the flying object and it hit him on his forehead, making him fall on his butt with a sharp shout, "Ow... You b***h", he hissed, clutching his forehead.
There was no flicker of regret or concern on her face, except anger, "What the hell?" he yelled as his fingers felt something wet on his forehead. He removed his fingers only to find crimson liquid on it. He gasped, "I am bleeding", he yelled at her, not in anger but in mere shock. I didn't knew she was capable of hurting me, literally!
"The hell you are! And once again if you try to do something like that with me, I am going to make you bleed from places you can't imagine", she snapped evilly,
"I am f*****g bleeding", he stated getting up from the floor. The cut wasn't deep, just a small scrape, but the fact that Sang hurt him and to top it off, she wasn't showing any concern at his injury made him furious, "You hurt me", he said pointing a finger at her. Somehow he knew he was behaving like a kid, stating the obvious again and again, and pointing a finger accusingly at her, but he couldn't help it. Suddenly he remembered what she did to his finger the last time he pointed it at her, and he quickly withdrew it.
"Yes I did", she laughed a dark, evil laugh, which actually felt quiet scary,
"You are a psycho", Eli balled his fists and growled at her,
"Damn right I am", she stopped her laugh abruptly, enhancing her evilness. "And one more time you try to touch me without my permission, I will show you the heights of my psychoism, which will give you nightmares for the rest of your life", with that said she stomped towards the couch and laid on it, like nothing happened.

"She did this to you?" Zach asked Eli in disbelief, touching the tiny scar on his forehead.
"Yes", Eli hissed. They were sitting in Zach's office looking over the building designs Zachary proposed, for Eli's new project.
After last night's incident, Eli couldn't fall asleep. Fear of what her wife was capable of doing, along with the anxiety that her wife was sleeping right next to him, kept him awake all night. He couldn't understand how he can still be attracted to her, even after witnessing her psychoism. When she came out of the shower the next morning, wearing a thigh length bath robe, he couldn't help but stare at her shamelessly. She regarded him impassively, but nothing affected him. He was still sporting a boner by the time he walked into the shower room for a chilling cold shower.
"Damn!" Zachary's voice snapped him out of his thoughts and he refocused on the model that was in front of him, "That's hot". Eli looked up at him and frowned,
"How is her hurting me hot?" He asked clenching his fists in warning. Zachary held his hands up in surrender,
"I mean, she sounds fresh, unlike your regular type", he shrugged playing it safe.
"Where are your parents now by the way", Zach asked conversationally avoiding Sang's topic,
"Back to their estates obviously. We got the restraining order from court so the press won't be a bother anymore", he said studying the blue prints,
"Only for six months", Zachary reminded about the duration of the restraining order,
"It's enough time for everyone to forget about it and find something else to prey upon", he said and walked over to the bar counter to pour some brandy.
"Did you find out who made that recording?" Zach asked, taking his own glass and filling in drink,
"Not yet", Eli shook his head and drowned the drink, "But I will find out soon. My security is working on it",
Zach hummed in reply and savored his drink. Both the friends stayed silent as Eli studied the reports and Zach nursed another drink.

"That bastard", Kaya exclaimed hitting the arm rest of the couch she was sitting on,
"Exactly", Sang nodded sipping on her wine, while Kaya fumed in anger.
"You did good girl, I am proud of you", Kaya added after drinking from her own glass of whisky
"I still don't think what you did is right", Nimmy muttered from the kitchen counter where she was stirring up the batter for brownie cake, her speciality.
"Get out of town", Kaya snapped, "He had no right to jump on her like that", Sang nodded in agreement at her friend's words,
"Yes. But you could have at least talked to him", Nimmy chided, "normally you behave civilly. Why did you behave so irrationally then? It is so unlike you", she muttered the last sentence inaudibly, but Sang heard her nevertheless.
She herself had no idea why she behaved the way she did. She couldn't remember one time when she behaved so rudely or became out of control. She was known to maintain grace and composure. Something she had inherited from her mother, and something that everyone appreciated of her. But last night, something triggered that kind of behavior. Maybe it's the fact that you were enjoying your husband's touch too much? Her subconscious suggested, but she shook that voice away. She only knew one fact - Eli always manages to bring out the worst in her.
She knew Eli very well. Though she didn't heed any concern to those rumors, she knew in her heart that Eli was a one hundred percent rake. Her ego wouldn't let her give herself to him, no matter how much she enjoyed his touch. She valued her self control and character more than that to give into him that easily. Like she told him earlier, he would have to woo her to win her heart. And she was ready to give him the benefit of doubt, if only he proved himself worthy of it.
"The batter is in the oven and the cake will be ready in forty five minutes", Nimmy sighed and flopped onto the couch,
"You are in the wrong field honey!" Kaya said, "You should have started your own bakery", she said,
"Why? So that you can feast on my baked items for free" Nimmy raised her eyebrows,
"Touché", Kaya sipped on her drink,
"Remind me", Sang cut in, "Why are we celebrating?" As soon as her parents left for their house, Sang didn't stay in there even for a minute. Right after their parents' car pulled out, she left for her office, without breakfast. There wasn't much work in there, cause she was still supposed to be on holiday so she decided to go out with Kaya and Nimmy. After an hour of debating where to go and what to do and still not deciding on anything yet, her ever so wise assistant Nimmy offered them to bake. And Sang just loved Nimmy's cooking to turn down the offer, so here they were – At Nimmy's studio apartment, getting drunk and craving some brownie cake.
"Because you did good in defending yourself from that sick asshole", Kaya sputtered,
"She is drunk. Don't listen to her. We are celebrating your marriage, to bring good luck to your married life with our good wishes", Nimmy said, steadying Kaya who was flopping onto the couch's arm rest,
"NO", Kaya yelled, "We are celebrating the doom of Mr. McCoy", she said and fell sideways onto the couch face first.
Sang and Nimmy sighed in unison, "Why does she hate all men?" Sang wondered aloud,
"Not all men", Nimmy shook her head, "Only Casanova's like Mr. McCoy. I think that has something to do with what happened two years ago", she stroked Kaya's hair gently,
"I just wish she opens up to us and tells us what happened exactly. There is so much hate in her", Sang shook her head and sighed,
"I know. I hope at least her therapy is doing her well", Nimmy added with a reassuring smile and continued stroking her hair.
"Yeah. Hope so", Sang said and sighed.
They spent the rest of the night talking and watching re runs of Gossip girls. When it was time to go home, dread filled her heart. She put up a brave front and reached Eli's apartment, but she was still shaking in her pants to go in.
Last night, she didn't know what came over her. She couldn't believe she actually threw that paper weight on him. And moreover she didn't even bother with concern when he bled because of the hit. The truth is that deep down she was worried with concern when she saw the blood ooze out. She felt so guilty but her ego took best of her and made her remain impassive towards him.
She knew how irrationally she behaved. It was definitely so unlike her, and knew that she had to apologize regardless of what he had done. She hurt him, unintentionally or intentionally and she knew that she had to suck it up and say the words "I'm sorry" to him. She didn't realize until now how hard it is to say these words to someone you hate so much.
With a deep breath she pushed the door open to the condo, only to be met by her bastard of a husband sucking faces with a blonde.
Rage filled inside. f**k sorry. She thought and strode towards them. Eli's eyes widened as his eyes landed on her furious form. He pushed the woman who was straddling him away and stood up. Too late for that, sweetheart! She thought angrily as she walked towards them with balled fists.
When the blonde finally realized that they weren't alone, she stood up beside Eli and smirked at her. The nerve of that b***h! Sang fumed standing a feet away from them,
"It's not what it looks like", Eli nervously said the same routine dialogue every cheating bastard says after getting caught, but Sang's eyes were solely focused on the b***h who stood in front of her, dressed in a transparent negligee, smirking. Rage took over rational thinking, and Sang didn't even know when her fist came flying and connected with her nose.
"aaahhh", a sharp cry echoed in Sang's ears and broke her from the trance of fury. Her eyes widened at what she had done and her jaw dropped to the floor. Oh my god! I hit her. I f*****g hit her! She realized as she stared at the crying, bleeding mess on the floor. Eli kneeled beside her and tend to her broken nose, but nothing could stop the blonde from wailing loudly,
"It's okay. It's okay", she could hear Eli's voice somewhere in the background, but she couldn't sink the audio and the visual.
"It's not bloody okay", the blonde cried out, pushing Eli on his chest and getting to her feet. Sang stared at her with wide eyes, as the blonde eyed her with pure hatred, "You", she pointed a finger at Sang, making her gulp silently. "You broke my nose!", she accused brushing her bloody nose, making it smudge on her cheeks dirtily. "I will sue you", she yelled and walked away, pushing her against her shoulder.
Silence etched into the nook and corner of the house as Sang and Eli stared at each other. Disbelief and shock evident on their faces.
"Stay. Away. From. Me", Sang hissed each word and walked away to the bedroom upstairs. Far away from Eli. She once again behaved irrationally. Never in her life she hurt a fly and now, she punched a woman. She was a f*****g vegetarian, because she was against killing and violence. And now..... God! What was happening to her?
She slammed the door close and leaned against it. Out of nowhere Eli's face flashed into her. His wide eyes, staring at her with shock.... and fear. Damn him! She thought kicking the door behind her. He was no good to her. You always bring the worst out of me, Eli. Just Stay away from me! She thought closing her eyes and leaning her head against the door.
