Instead, he lit a cigarette, taking a slow drag. "Looks like you're pretty happy with Zach's setup." Zach? The nthat had vanished from her life for two years now echoed back, leaving Eliza stunned.
With a cigarette dangling between his fingers, Casper sauntered over and grabbed her waist. "Did the delivery experience make your sweetheart worried?"

We're not even divorced yet, and you've already lined up two new guys." "I haven't." She knew Casper was here to cause trouble, but she wasn't about to accept these baseless accusations.
He flicked away the cigarette, grabbed her wrist, and started dragging her towards the car. "Chwith me." "I'm not going with you." "Eliza, pushany further, and you won't see Robin tomorrow." Eliza's family was her Achilles' heel and Casper knew exactly how to hit her where it hurt.

He headed upstairs while she stood there like a statue.
"What are you standing there for?" He had brought her back for the usual reasons.

Eliza looked up, her eyes cold. "I don't want to." It was the first tshe had refused him like this. Enraged, he stormed back down, grabbed her arm, and threw her onto the sofa.
"This will do." He pinned her down, yanking off his tie, and started unbuttoning her blouse. She clutched his hand. "Casper, stop it." He laughed bitterly. His eyes turned icy, like a predator's. "What, saving yourself for another guy now?" "I'm not." He pinned her wrists above her head, his grip unrelenting. "Here or upstairs, your choice." Eliza was conservative. Unlike Casper, who could do it anytime, anywhere, she cared about her dignity. "Upstairs," she said, her voice trembling with despair.
