His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

"Mrs. Welton, if you steer clear of men who have untoward intentions towards you, I might reconsider the divorce," he whispered, his lips softly brushing against her neck.

Eliza didn't believe him anymore. Hadn't he manipulated her countless times with his lies, making her obey and do things she didn't want to?

"Casper, you're completely untrustworthy. I will never believe you again. Ever."

His kisses stopped abruptly. "How am I untrustworthy? When have I ever broken a promise to you?"

"You said you'd let Robin go, but then you had Nova call the police. Was that keeping your word? Not only did you break your promises, but you also encouraged Nova to plagiarize others' work. You're in cahoots with her. Why should I agree to anything you say now?"

Casper was taken aback. He genuinely hadn't known about Nova calling the police beforehand. As for Nova plagiarizing someone else's work... Whose work was she accused of plagiarizing? "Clarify your accusation."

"Don't play dumb."
