When we get home, Leo is still acting out of character and I am expecting him to hit me at any moment. But he doesn't, I glance at him to see him staring at me."There will be a party here soon. I have a dress on my bed for you to wear and please don't embarrass me when my guests arrive." He tells me.I nod, then make my way up the stairs to shower and get ready.Whilst in my underwear, I stare down at the short, sparkly, red dress that has a long split in the side. Wondering if he really wants me to wear something like this, because he always tells me that he doesn't want any other man to stare at me. So is this a setup?Before I can get the dress on, the bedroom door slams shut. I gasp because I never notice Leo coming into the room, but there he is, standing behind me.Suddenly, he rips my underwear off before forcing me onto the bed. When I struggle, he slaps me on the ass."Remember when this was nothing but a fun adventure for us? What changed Angela? You enjoyed it so much." He

I glance back at Leo one last time, then nod at the man beside me. Can't get into too much trouble now, can I? I'm sure it will be just a friendly chitchat, and if he gets too overly friendly, then I'll just go."Fine. What do you want?" I ask.He let out a laugh. "Right to it then. My name is Emanuel.""Emanuel," I repeat with a frown."Yes, it is nice meeting a beautiful woman like you. Now tell me, how did you come by marrying such a man like Leo?"I freeze at his words.'Does everyone know about Leo's true nature?'"What do you mean?"He scuffs. "You know, cocky, and think the world revolves around him. This overly rich man who thinks so highly of himself.""Oh, that's it?""What do you mean?""I thought it would have been something else, not you being jealous of his success.""Jealous?" He barks out a laugh. "I'm not jealous, and I don't hate him either. Even though he keeps turning down my many business ideas.""So you are upset with him, then?"He sighs. "Call it what you want,

"Look at you, you are nothing but a little whore. Letting another man mount you like that, such a disgusting sight. I don't even know what is stopping me from killing you both." Leo says.I cast my eyes down, unable to look at him. It isn't his words that hurt, but what he just made us do and the way he watched with a smile on his face. I can see it even clearer that this man is sick, and no matter the amount of money he had, that can't change him."Angela, I knew you never loved me. And all those times..." He trails off. "Every time we lay on a bed together or whenever we have intercourse, you never moan like that. I could see that you were enjoying what he did to you."I still have my eyes on the floor, but he is right. I enjoyed my time with Raymond, despite the circumstances. I have never had a man take his time with my body like that before, and even though we were forced. He made sure to bring me pleasure. It wasn't only for him.I glance up at Leo from under my long fake lashes

To my relief, Avril comes back, and she keeps her promise of giving me a DVD and a small player so I can watch the classes. She also surprises me with a phone and a number."You have to make sure you hide them from your husband."While Avril goes off to clean, which makes no sense that she cleans every day but it is just a silly rule for her to follow, thanks to Leo. I study the name and number written on the paper, still not believing that it belongs to Raymond.I quickly stuff the items under the sofa when I hear footsteps approaching, thinking that it might have been one of those men, but it is only Avril who tells me that she was told to make dinner and leave.I nod at her. "I'll go up to my room then." I tell her, then hide things she gave me under my robe."Be strong Angela, you will get out of this soon."I nod, hoping that her words will be true.When I get to my room, I head right for the bathroom, where I lock myself. Stuff a towel under the door and turn the water on to dro

Leo reluctantly lets go of my hand. "I- Yes. Sure." He gives me a quick kiss on the lips before letting me leave.I glance back at him, wondering how he is being so nice to her. He normally comes off as arrogant and turns his face up to any other woman who approaches him.Layla smiles at him before pulling me away. "Don't worry Angela, just like the men us women should be having fun at this event too.'' She looks back at me and smile.I can't help but return my smile. She seems like a genuine person.She eventually let go of my hand, but still leads me to a part of the museum where mostly women are chatting with each other and laughing.A waiter stops before us with a tray of wine. I take one and so does Layla.She stares at me for a while before taking a sip, which I have to say is great wine. It is smooth, but not overly sweet."So, how long have you and Leo been married?""About two months now."She chuckles. "That is nice. I never knew Leo was in love with anyone that much to get
