I Refuse to Divorce novel (Zoe and Mason) novel Chapter 52

He was relentless in tormenting her.

Despite being brought to tears and screams, Ella was known for her fiery spirit. She even managed to scratch Leslie's arm.

Uninhibited, she shouted, "Fine! Let's call it quits then. I'll find myself another man. I refuse to believe that someone like me can't find a man to sleep with. What makes you so special?"

'This damned guy! What makes him better than other men?'

The more aggressively she yelled, the more intense Leslie became.

"How dare you say that?! I'll kill you!"

The entire night, Ella's voice echoed in the room. The mansion's servants dared not eavesdrop. Every time Leslie brought Ella back, it sounded like a murder was taking place.

…

Leslie finally had enough.

He got up and headed to the bathroom for a shower. When he came out, Ella was still there.

She had donned one of his shirts, leaving a couple of buttons undone, and leaned against the bed, smoking. She exuded an alluring demeanor.

Leslie chuckled. "You just cried your eyes out, and now you're trying to act seductive?"

He casually took the cigarette from between her fingers, taking a drag himself. "What's a woman smoking? You better quit."

Ella, unusually, didn't retort.

Leslie leaned against the bed, smoking, while she softly traced circles on his abdominal muscles with her slender fingers. Her voice turned tender. "Are you calm now?"

Leslie glanced down at her. "The swelling has subsided, but the anger hasn't."

Ella moved in for a kiss.
