Her voice was calm, so calm it felt as if she was talking about someone else's life, "Steven, let's get a divorce."
The moment she said "divorce", he lost his mind and hurt her again, for another day and night.
Maybe the hurt was too much; she became scared. After that, she never mentioned divorce again. But he knew, day and night, all she was thinking about was escaping him.
But as long as he didn't let go, she couldn't escape.
Without her celebrity status, she was just a plain Jane. Other than acting, she didn't know how to do anything else. How could she possibly be a match for him, Steven?
To many and to herself, she was like a bird he kept in a cage, she could only be trapped as long as he didn't open the cage to let her out. He knew he was wrong, but he was too proud to admit it. So he clung on to her in another extreme way.d2
No matter where she went, he didn't allow her to be away from him for more than three days. He would follow her and stick with her, demanding sex all the time.
Once he heard someone say that women were soft-hearted, if you could keep her body, you could win her heart. He wanted to keep her using this method. He wanted to leave his deep mark in her heart and body. He didn't give her any chance to escape him, suffocating her time and again.
Recalling how despicable he was, Steven lifted his hand and gave himself a hard slap.
Hannah, who was staring blankly outside the car, was startled by the sound. She finally turned her head to look at him.
She saw his reddened face but asked no questions, just staring at him.
