Chapter 27 Elena's Pov

ELENA'S POV; I remembered the first time I walked into this place, completely traumatized by the kind of person that Antonio was. I'd struggled to settle in, being so fearful of who he was and how ruthless he was. I still was terrified of Antonio, because I knew there was a side of him that could never be toyed with. I feared that side more than anything because it appeared that he really didn't care about what happened next as long as you trespassed. So many things I realized over the times that I'd spent with Antonio. He was a wealthy man and a workaholic who had everything together apart from his relational life. When I first came in here I looked around and noticed how enchanting everything was. It was all so beautiful. From the mattress to the sofas and the well-polished dressing table...but I knew deep down that happiness didn't reside in here only fear, because I was always on the edge or at the point of breaking down. I couldn't deny him sex no matter what. He'd still have sex with me even if I said no. He was good at giving me mixed emotions, but as possessive as fuck. As his wife, I had to succumb to everything he said. And I never knew this before but he was into drugs. That was illegal but I dared not question him to avoid it. I could say that throughout my life, I never planned on getting married, but a married life with Antonio wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
