His Destructive, Toxic Love novel Chapter 27

Nova stood outside, ears straining to catch the sounds from within, her patience wearing thin. She couldn't wait for them to part ways.

The knock on the door was loud and insistent.

Eliza curled her lips in a mocking smile. "Mr. Casper, stop pestering me. Your little darling is getting jealous. Go and keep her company."

She pushed him, but he only pressed tighter against her. His eyes flashed with a fierce light. "I want it. Now."

The doctor had said Eliza couldn't have sex for at least a month. It was stated right in front of Casper. She thought he had taken it to heart, but clearly, he hadn't.

He was domineering, his stance and actions utterly indecent. She had to endure it passively.

The door creaked under Casper's force. Outside, Nova blushed furiously, biting her lip, consumed with jealousy.

Eventually, he let Eliza go. She was a mess while he looked thoroughly composed.

"I'm giving you three days to quit your job at the studio."

"I signed a contract. I can't just quit," she said quietly, trying to pull herself together, her voice steady.

He tossed a gold card at her. "There's a million in here. If Zach thinks it's not enough, he can come to me."

Eliza didn't pick up the card from the floor. She merely raised an eyebrow. "I need to work. Without a job, what am I supposed to eat or drink? Casper, don't be so ruthless."

"You are my wife. Do you still need to work? In the past two years we've been married, have you ever had a day without food or clothes?"

"No," she replied, her tone icy and slightly mocking. "But you see, other housewives get a salary from their husbands. I don’t."

"So, it's all about the money."

Exactly. After ending her romantic fantasies, Eliza understood the importance of money.
