His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

"Casper, you're such a jerk."

Tears streamed down her face, a deep sense of injustice overwhelming her. Large drops splashed onto the back of his hand as she turned and bit him hard on the forearm.

Blood quickly mixed with her tears on his skin, blending into a sorrowful tableau reminiscent of a watercolor painting tinged with a dark, crimson hue. It looked grim and startling. He clenched his teeth and let her vent her frustration until she had no strength left. Only then did he look down at the blurred imprint of her teeth, asking, "How many times now, huh?" She didn't know how many times she had bitten him. She hated herself for not being able to bite him to death in one go.

He let her be for the moment, found some alcohol to disinfect the wound, and carelessly wrapped it with gauze.

Eliza silently got dressed. Ignoring Casper, she walked around the large bed and headed for the door.

He reached out and grabbed her wrist. "Where are you going?"

"I'm going back to my studio apartment," she said coldly, like a snow lotus blooming in the midst of winter.

He didn't insist on keeping her. "I'll drive you."

She didn't refuse. Perhaps she was too exhausted.

She remained silent from when she got into the car until they reached their destination. After parking the car, she opened the door and stepped out. Throughout, she never once glanced at Casper. When Chelsea called, Eliza had just dragged her weary body out of the shower.
