The Christmas Captive
I've been ignoring him, but his persistence is becoming problematic.

The Christmas gala is in two days. The annual event where the city's elite gather to see and be seen, to make deals and alliances over champagne and caviar. I'll need to bring Ava, show her off as my devoted wife, maintain the illusion that everything is fine.
She'll smile and play her part because she has no choice. Because I've made sure she has nowhere else to go and no one else to turn to.
And I'll stand beside her, touching her waist, playing the role of perfect husband, hating myself a little more with every passing moment.
