Intro
Cassius, who bought me, doesn't love me at all. Today, like always, he looks down at me with cold eyes, muttering like I'm nothing but trash. I'm his wife on paper, but there's no love here—just a physical relationship at best, built on money and nothing else.
"Shut up and sit your ass down. You don't get to tell me what to do." There wasn't a drop of emotion in his voice.
I was bought by this man. I didn't choose this. I didn't want this. I was just convenient. To Cassius, I'm a toy Even the nights he held me, he never once called my name.
And today, once again. He brought home another woman. Perfume fills the room, high heels clicking down the hallway.
Each time, I just curl up in the back room, knees to my chest, saying nothing. To Cassius, I might as well be invisible. I'm nothing more than something bought with money. I was sold when I was 17 because of my parents' situation. A measly fifty thousand dollars. That was what my life was worth. My parents never loved me. A pretty face... that was my only value.
"Tch, quit making that fucking face." He casually lights a cigarette and blows smoke right in my direction.
My chest tightens. But still—somewhere deep down, I find myself watching him. Like there might be something hidden in the depths of his heart.
Even though it's probably just wishful thinking.
