His Destructive, Toxic Love novel Chapter 1

"Let me hear you," Casper demanded, gripping Eliza's waist with a force that was almost brutal.

She struggled, trying to push him away, but he pinned her down without mercy. Her delicate hands clutched at the finely made silk sheets in silent protest. Under the moonlight, his profile was sharply defined, his gaze a cold mix of desire and indifference.

"Not enjoying this?" he whispered, biting the soft flesh behind her ear, his breath heavy. "If this doesn't do it for you, let me tell you something. Your brother's already at Mercy Hospital."

Eliza's face went pale. Mercy Hospital in Falconridge was notorious, masquerading as a psychiatric facility while engaging in horrific acts like organ harvesting.

Ignoring her humiliation, Eliza's fingers trembled as she grabbed his arm. "Why would you do this?"

"It's to make you remember this day forever," he said, stepping back and pulling on his shirt with long, clean fingers.

Last year, her father had been imprisoned, and her mother suffered a brain hemorrhage from a car accident, remaining in a coma ever since. Not long after, her father committed suicide in prison. That day, it had rained heavily.

Eliza called Casper so many times, but he never answered. She went alone to the crematorium to take her father’s ashes back to the cemetery. Despite all evidence pointing to Casper's involvement in her father's death, Eliza chose not to believe it.

He picked this particular day to return from abroad, to do this to her, to humiliate her, and she endured it. But why would he send her disabled brother to such a place?

"Casper, you're a bastard. Do you have to destroy my whole family?" Her eyes trembled, her fingertips growing cold. Her heart slowed to the point where she could barely feel it anymore.
