Domineering Love

Elizabeth bit her lips in silence, her fists clenched.

Though badly irritated by Marvin's bad-mouthing her mother, Elizabeth was too coward to fight back even though she had been trembling out of fury.

Marvin stroked her waist while spouting out those humiliating words, "You should take care of your health, or you can't satisfy me with your body. Keep your duty in your mind! From now on, I'll deduct 10,000 for each pound you lose."

Marvin pinched her cheek with his long fingers, his face colored by an evil smile. "To get rich rewards, eat more in the future, okay?"

A sharp pain shot up her soft skin. Elizabeth's nose suddenly tingled, perhaps, because she had to suffer the torture for the whole night. Overwhelmed by despair again, Elizabeth was on the verge of a breakdown.

What happened to Marvin on earth? He used to be a kind elder brother who doted on her. From the day when his dad suffered a brain hemorrhage, everything had changed. Elizabeth not only had to endure Marvin's unwarranted hatred and humiliation but earned her mother's medical fee by sleeping with him. She used to think it was tolerable, but the endless heavy pressure almost suffocated her.

Out of impulse, Elizabeth widened her watery, clear eyes to stare at Marvin seriously, her tone innocent. "Marvin, when will the torture end? What mistake did I make in hell?"

Marvin's handsome face darkened. He narrowed his eyes without loosening his pinch on her cheek.

Seeing him in silence, Elizabeth produced a smile. Coming back to her sense a moment ago, she hadn't eaten anything for hours. Her ghastly face seemed quite charming in the dim light.

"Is it difficult to answer? I might as well change to a new one. You used to love me, right?"
