This Side Of Paradise Novel

"You're mine. You're my wife. You're fucking MINE," my husband roared furiously, slamming me against the wall. I instinctively lowered my hand to protect my belly. He didn’t know I was pregnant, yet. “I will never leave you. I will never let you go,” he whispered this time, his voice breaking as he pressed his forehead against mine. “I’m drowning without you.” My vision blurred with tears. I reached up and caressed his cheek. I knew he needed me. I knew he wanted me. But not as a wife… He only wanted, needed, my body. It had always been about my body and sex… and it would always be. He wanted me to be his submissive. His sex slave. Beneath him. Controlled. Obedient. With a trembling breath, I whispered, "I'm not, Raf. I'm not yours. We can't be together. We came to the end of this useless marriage." His phone rang... It was Debbie. The other woman. His jaw tightened as he stepped back. “I’ll take this quickly… then we’ll finish this.” I didn’t need him to. I already knew. He would always choose her. The moment he walked out, my tears fell freely, burning down my cheeks. With shaking hands, I wiped my eyes harshly and grabbed my phone. “I’m leaving,” I said. “Can you take me to the airport?” Trembling, I turned toward my closet, searching for something to cover the bruises on my skin… and the ones far deeper. *** I loved my husband with everything I had… even though he was dark, cruel, and dangerously possessive. I was his little dirty secret. Hidden wife. We got married under some circumstances. Marriage no one knew existed. I’ve made my decision. I'll never let him treat me like his submissive again.NEVER!

"ظنّت كلماته مجرد نزوة عابرة… لكنها كانت مخطئة." عندما حاولت الهرب… حتى على حساب حياتها. وفي لحظتها الأخيرة، احتضنها… مدمرًا نفسه معها، متوعدًا لها بليلة قاسية بعد أن يُعاد تناسخهما، وأنه حتمًا سيجدها مرة أخرى. … بعد ملايير السنين— وُلدت طفلة في أضعف الممالك، بشعرٍ أحمر وعينين خضراوين، وعلى فخذها وشم عنقاء. عندها، أدركت العوالم أنها عادت… تلك العنقاء الساحرة. وكان القرار واضحًا: إخفاؤها. بعيدًا عن أعين الإمبراطور الذي لم يُهزم… حتى من الآلهة. … "هل عادت حلوتي؟" رنّ صوت رجولي أجش، عميقًا ومخيفًا. "طال غيابكِ…" ثم ابتسم: "حان وقت تنفيذ وعدي… يا بجعتي الجميلة،كوني مستعدة"
