The room was quiet, only her quiet cries could be heard. The sound of his shoes against the marble floor as he got closer.“Stand” She stood by the window, hands curled around the edge of the curtain, her body covered with bruises.“I built you,” He said. “Everything you are, everything you own, it exists because I allow it” he said calmly.His hand caught her wrist careful not to leave a mark where people could see. “Look at me” he demanded. She looked up. His face was handsome in a way the public adored. A man who smiles for the camera but was a monster behind closed doors. They had been married for five years’ now, no children, three miscarriages as a result of the abuse she faced. “Do you know what happens to women who forget their place?” he asked. She didn’t answer.The slap came without warning. Her head snapped to the side, her vision blurry, she didn’t cry out, it only made things worse.“You should be grateful I still keep you” He sneered.He only kept her because she was

Natasha’s PovI arrived with Sidney. His family gathered inside. Liam stood when he saw us, relief crossed his face.“You came late” anger hidden behind his voice as he gave me a peck on my cheek.I smiled. “Sorry I was swarmed with work”He nodded at Sidney. His mother watched us from the table with displeasure. She hated Liam, as the mistress son, he had always been treated as the outcast. In her eyes he was an embarrassment, a stain to their family name.Her gaze softened when she looked at me. I smiled at her.“Welcome Natasha and Sidney” Ashley said smiling as she hugged us.I smiled, “It’s nice seeing you” I said“I’m sorry, I’ve been keeping her soon to be husband from you, work has been hectic” she said smiling like the devil she was. I smile before I turned and sat at the table. I was not going to give her the reaction she needed.Dinner began. The conversation was mostly about politics, business, firms good for investment. I answered when spoken to and kept my hands folded n

Natasha’s PovThe annual party was today and I had no choice to attend as a representative for my family, since my parents and brother were overseas for business. Sidney had a prior meeting, so she would arrive later. My makeup was done and I put on a black silk gown that showed off my curves. My hair packed in a tight bun, diamonds on my ears and neck. As I stepped into the room, the air shifted, eyes followed me, whispering. I had been dubbed as the heartless fiancée who brought bad luck all thanks to Ashley. Liam's family was in charge of hosting the party this year. Liam walked up to me, putting on his million-dollar smile.He hugged me kissing my cheek like everything was alright.“I haven’t seen you in a while” he said being extra touchy.“Yeah, I’ve been busy” I said. My eyes roamed around searching for Noah, I spotted him with a group of people.“Let’s go somewhere quiet and discuss” he said dragging me to a quiet corner, away from the public.“What?” I asked“What about the

Natasha’s PovThe media was going crazy, the news about me being drugged at the party had spread like wildfire. There was even a video of Lucas carrying me out with Liam looking dejected behind us.“The media is having a good time with this” I said to Noah.“Well it was expected” he said“They are comments that say you are getting married to Lucas” Sidney said laughing“I’m sure Liam is going crazy” She said still laughing“I wonder why Lucas has not released a statement and also Liam” Noah asked“Liam is releasing a statement soon, he texted me” I said“Tsk, he could not visit but he texted, did you reply?" Sidney asked"No"“Good, I'm pretty sure he was the one who drugged you” she added.Noah’s phone buzzed“I need to go to the hospital, Natasha make sure to eat the cupcakes, I got them from the shop you liked” he said“I will” I replied him smiling“Take care Sidney” he said as he left closing the door with a soft thud“He is so sweet” Sidney said“Where didn’t you fall for him?”

Natasha’s Pov“How does it taste? Do you like it?” Liam said as he fed me a spoon of tiramisu We were currently on a date, he was the best boyfriend now since I had given him the contract he desperately needed. Things are going well in the company now thanks to the contract.“So have you solved the issues at home?” Liam asked“Not yet” I said“Is there a way I can help?” he asked acting all concerned“Just been here is enough” I said to him as I pecked his cheek.“Hi Natasha” I turned and saw Ashley standing there. She had her wicked smile on her face“Oh I forgot to tell you, I asked her to come so we can clear the air, hope you don’t mind my love?” Liam said“I’m really sorry if you thought I was rude at the party, you seemed a little drunk so I wanted to take care of you” Ashley said. I could sense, mockery beneath her tone.“I understand Ashley, am not mad or anything” I said smiling “That’s great, I was really worried you would hate me” she said wiping a fake tear from her eye
