Debra frowned but kept her eyes closed. “Why are you disturbing my sleep in the middle of the night?”
“Get up!” Juan’s tone carried suppressed anger.
Frustrated, she got up and looked at Juan, who was standing at the door. “What’s your problem?”
Juan rushed forward and pinned her down on the bed, catching her off guard.
The dim light from the doorway cast a subtle glow over him.
Her breath caught in her throat, but she quickly regained her composure. “What are you trying to do?”
“Where were you tonight?”
“Having dinner with my friends.”
“Who?”
Debra frowned. “I don’t owe you an explanation. Remember, we’re just using each other for benefits.”
“Oh really?” Juan sneered.
Debra sensed trouble as Juan began to tear at her nightgown. “Legally, you’re my wife. Don’t you think you should fulfill your duties?”
“You’re insanel”
Juan’s grip tightened as he continued his movements. Debra was enraged and slapped him across the
face.
The room fell silent.
Debra’s voice was icy. “I’m not your plaything.”
Juan froze, still straddling her body. His chest heaved from the recent altercation.
“Get out!” Debra pointed to the door, her eyes red with anger.
Juan regained some sanity and left the room.
As the door closed, Juan rubbed his temples.
He must have lost his mind to act like that.
After a while, Juan–turned back, hesitated at the door handle, but decided not to enter.
Debra had locked the door after Juan’s recent outburst
