"Casper, did you just hit me? I'm your fiancée, and you slapped me over your ex-wife?" Susan's voice trembled as she cupped her flushed cheek, eyes brimming with tears and lashes quivering. "Casper, you and she should be the ones apologizing."

Casper's gaze was icy, and his tone left no room for argument. "Apologize. Now."

Susan was genuinely afraid of Casper, especially when his face turned dark and he exuded a chilling aura. He was like a predator, ready to tear her apart without a second thought.
