The sharp crack of my palm against his

cheek rings through the room. My chest heaves with fury, and my

hands tremble at my sides. The audacity. The sheer, infuriating arrogance of him.

My head is still tipsy but thanks to his insult. My mind is no longer foggy.

Alex doesn't flinch. Instead, his lips curl into a smirk, his green eyes darkening

"You will not see him again." His voice is low, but I heard him just fine.

I scoff, crossing my arms tightly over my chest. "I'm not your wife, Alex. We're getting

and shove them where the sun doesn't-!"

steps closer, his presence suffocating and making my throat dry as I hold onto the rest of the words.

I refuse to back down, I refuse to let him degrade and insult me.

"You don't own me."

He tilts his head, considering me like a predator would its prey.

"Is that what you want? Me to own you?"
