A Moment in Destiny

As she struggled, Leila caught glimpse of his neck again. The image of the red bite mark was burned into her eyes.

“Don’t forget that you are my wife!”

Leila was stunned after hearing what he yelled. Her mind went blank. He called her his wife, but did he ever treat her as his wife?

She kept looking at the bite mark around his neck. Her clear and big eyes were wide open as she stared at it blankly. Her eyes were filled with puzzlement and confusion, and she was slightly upset.

Vincent was annoyed seeing the weird expression in her eyes, he frowned and said, “What are you looking at?”

He lowered his head, but he couldn’t see the bite mark.

Leila’s body trembled. Suddenly, her eyes met Vincent’s. She said, “Do you still want a massage?”

She tried her best to speak calmly, but her voice still trembled.

Vincent stared into her eyes and realized that the expression in her eyes seemed tremendously melancholic. At that moment, his pupils constricted, and he stared at her blankly. He felt a surge of annoyance deep inside. He then shrugged her off, turned around and lied on his stomach.

He actually let her go. He was surprised by his actions, “Of course I want a massage!”

Leila took a deep breath and let out a sigh of relief. She got up and kneeled next to him. She caressed his wide back with her small hand and massaged him with a comfortable strength. Vincent closed his eyes, hiding the tiredness in his eyes.

“Massage me for one hour non-stop, okay?”

Leila tensed up. This was exploitation! She felt very uncomfortable being ordered by him like that, but she was willing to do this compared to sleeping with him.

If they were in love with each other, she wouldn’t even frown if he asked her to massage him for an hour, maybe she would even do it for 10 hours. But the problem was that they weren’t a couple who were madly in love with each other, and he wasn’t the man he used to be!

If there was no love, it could only be plain exploitation.

“Harder, did you not eat?”

“Ugh!”

“It hurts! Are you trying to kill me?”

“Is this okay?”

“Harder! No! Softer! Yes, like that. It’s barely okay. You have to practice more, you idiotic, stupid woman!”
