Wife is a Lawyer

“Stop acting like you are not a whore. You worked your ass off to get into my lounge. Weren't you trying to trade your body for the survival of your company? Beg me, and I’ll help you.”

He looked down at her as if he owned everything in the world, including her.

Tears blurred her vision. Her lips parted and for a moment a phrase tried to take shape in her mouth, but she swallowed the words all.

She closed her eyes, too tired to say anything.

He kept moving on her, day and night, relentlessly. She was already exhausted, begging him to stop, and passed out eventually.

When night fell, Peter leaned against the bed, with a cigarette in his hand.

The girl sleeping next to him seemed to be sobbing in her dreams. Looking at her red and swollen eyes, a wave of guilt washed over him.

She was the one hanging over his head all these years, the mother Luis had been missing night and day.

For years, he tried so hard not to find her, but she just showed up in front of him as Tessa's best friend.

Buzz buzz —

There was the sound of someone's phone vibrating across the silent room. Peter took a look at the Caller ID—it was Theresa.

He put on an annoyed frown, turning his phone off straight away.

At the same time, Adriana was woken up by the noise.

When she opened her eyes to see the messy bed and her bare body, tears shed down her face once again.

“I’m going to the police.”

She said calmly, but with deathly desperation.

His hand holding the cigarette stiffened, “Do you really think that they'll believe your story?”

“You are nothing without your money and power.”

Adriana clutched the quilt tightly to her chest, burying her face in it, in great pain and desperation.
