Claudia POV
All I could do was stare at him while holding back my sobs. Maybe there was a part of me that wanted to work out this marriage somehow, but then I realized there was nothing to salvage, because Miles didn't want it in the first place.
To be called a naïve bitch after giving all my dedication was truly a cruel joke. He made it seem as if my sacrifices amounted to nothing.
Miles finally turned around and sank back into his seat, staring at the sports channel, then waved the beer bottle at me, "My offer still stands, by the way. I'll 'pardon' you in front of the officers and send you to therapy. Once you're out, you can be my fuckmaid."
"And if you refuse—" Miles turned to face me again, a wicked smile on his face. "—then you'll be in prison. I can't guarantee Aurora's safety once you're not here, Claudia."
I had never been so enraged in my life. I wanted to go over there and slap him for what he had just said.
