His Destructive, Toxic Love novel Chapter 23

The car's back door swung open, and a pair of polished leather shoes hit the pavement.

Eliza felt a knot forming in her stomach. Something was wrong. She turned on her heel, ready to get away.

Casper emerged from the car but didn't hurry after her. Instead, he lit a cigarette, taking a slow drag. "Looks like you're pretty happy with Zach's setup."

Zach?

The name that had vanished from her life for two years now echoed back, leaving Eliza stunned.

With a cigarette dangling between his fingers, Casper sauntered over and grabbed her waist. "Did the delivery experience make your sweetheart worried?"

"Casper, I have no idea what you're talking about."

He let out a mocking laugh, his eyes scanning her face. "Eliza, you sure have some guts. We’re not even divorced yet, and you've already lined up two new guys."

"I haven't." She knew Casper was here to cause trouble, but she wasn't about to accept these baseless accusations.

He flicked away the cigarette, grabbed her wrist, and started dragging her towards the car. "Come home with me."

"I'm not going with you."

"Eliza, push me any further, and you won't see Robin tomorrow."

Eliza’s family was her Achilles' heel and Casper knew exactly how to hit her where it hurt.

She fell silent.

The car pulled into the villa's driveway. Eliza obediently followed Casper inside.

He headed upstairs while she stood there like a statue.

"What are you standing there for?"

He had brought her back for the usual reasons.
