Leander was not surprised that his statement did not affect her much. She had thought about it all. He got curious to know her plan.
"Yeah, you can," she nodded, and her lips curled into a smirk. "But you won't."
"Why?" he crossed his legs.
The tiredness and the annoyance he felt just some minutes ago melted away like mist in the presence of sunlight. He was invigorated. This one is full of surprises. He thought she might still be curled up crying, but here she is… back to challenge him.
"Again, you made ME your wife. YOU married ME even against your grandfather's wishes, almost humiliating him in the process. You are keeping my infertility from him. Your pride won't let this marriage fail… at least not in front of others. It is the reason…" she bit her lips. "It is at least one of the reasons you didn't kill me yesterday. But behind closed doors, you will hurt me."
