His Collateral

"That is not your place. From now on, this is where you will sleep." Alessandro said, his gaze fixed on the couch.

I had a lot of questions on my mind. I wanted to ask why? I was his wife, wasn't I?

He knew she was burning for answers but he didn't spare any emotions.

"This marriage, means nothing to me. You mean nothing to me. So it would be better if you knew your place."
