I am updating more than my schedule. Hope so it makes up for the short chapters☺

Sabrina's pov

After dressing myself up, I looked infront of the mirror chanting the same mantra over and over again

You can do it!

And with that, I strodded towards the living room where Adam was now residing .

He was comfortably sitting on a couch. He had a remote in his hand and his eyes were intently glued to the tv. I marched forward and stood between him and the tv. His eyes looked up and stopped at my face.

At that moment, all I could do was stare at him. His face reminded me of the memories of the previous night and slowly I found myself losing my confidence which I had built up on the way here.

But I did not let that happen. With great difficulty I upheld my confidence because at this moment I needed answers for him. I needed to know why?

"What are you doing here?" he barked," stop annoying me with your ugly presence and go and cook breakfast for me. I am hungry."

Collecting my confidence I replied with the one syllable word,"No"

"What did you say to me?"he questioned, his voice becoming more dangerous every passing second.

"I said No."

This time I screamed back my answer.

His demeanour changed and he stormed towards me and smacked me so hard that I fell on my knees.

It hurt. A lot. But he couldn't break me this time. I pushed myself up and with all my might I slapped him right across his face.

I knew it might not have affected him much. Maybe it didn't give him an ounce of pain. But it brought me the sweet satisfaction knowing that I did not back down. That I was standing strong infront of him.

His eyes reflected the rage within him. I couldn't comprehend what he would do to me. But soon I found myself attached to the wall with his hands wrapped around my neck. His hold was tight enough to pain me but not chock me in the same time.

"LET ME GO, YOU BASTARD",I screamed at his face.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP", he screamed louder, " HOW DARE YOU RAISE YOUR HAND AT ME."

"I DARED. SO WHAT. HOW DARE YOU SLAP ME AND R..", immediately I found myself shrinking. I couldn't say it out aloud what he had done to me. All those ugly memories of last night. A tear ran down my cheek at this thought.

He smirked at this. He was about to open his mouth when I whimpered,

"Why?"

This was the one question I desperately needed an answer to.

He brought his lips to my ears and lightly spoke, " because you ruined me. That should be enough explanation. You know better than me why I am doing this".

"I dont. Please A..Adam. I dont know what you are talking about. Why. Why are you doing this to me?"

He immediately slapped me with his free hand which was not chocking me.

"FUCKING STOP PRETENDING," he raged," just wait and watch. I'll ruin you and you won't be able to do anything about it"

"I wont let you do anything more to me. I'll divorce you. I'll file a case against you," I quite ly said the words which I never imagined I would.

His hold around my throat loosened and he let me go at these words. Suddenly he started laughing hysterically as if he was told the funniest joke.

"Divorce. You think you can divorce me. You are a fool to think that"

"Tell those words to me when you are fucking rotting in prison," I spat

He just smiled at that

"Well let me show you something."

With that he marched away from me and went to his room. After around 5 minutes he returned with some papers held in his hand. He raised his hand and threw the papers right across my face but before it could fall to the ground, I held them with my hand.

I brought them close to my face, intently reading what was stated in it.

And what I read shocked me to the core.

"You see these papers Sabrina. They are signed by you and your parents. I own every single property owned by your dear family. Just one snap of the finger and your family will be on the streets. And see the next one. Where you are clearly selling yourself to me. And the only situation where you will leave me is when I ask for a divorce . Not when you want it."

My family was never too dear to me. But I wouldn't ever want something like this to happen to them. Specially since Jay is also part of them.

I was so horror stricken by all those that I couldn't even reply. But what he said next shocked me more.

"You know... there are so many more things that my dear sweatheart has to know. Dont you? For example, you can't go to the police because if I want, I could have your whole family including you killed without anyone doing a single thing about it"

"You.. you d-dont ha.. have that power."

"Oh sweat heart. But I do. I really do. Okay. Let me make it easy for you."

He fiddled something with his phone and passed it on to me. And what I saw in it made me drop on my knees.

He was one of the richest man in America and he did hold that kind of power over me. He did hold the power to ruin me with a single snap of his finger.

AND I WAS DOOMED

So I guess most of Sabrina's question are answered. Not the main one though.
