---- Chapter 6 Spencer said, "I reviewed your resume myself, Elise Thorne. I've had my eye on you for some time. Understood?" It caught me off guard. So his feelings hadn't been a sudden whim after all. Even after getting home, I still couldn't fully process it. Then, Reuben was there, right at the door, making me jump. "You're finally home, Lissy. I missed you so much." I'd only been out to a business dinner, not gone for days. But his reaction made it sound like I'd cheated on him. I didn't bother answering and headed straight to the bedroom to change. "Lissy, I saw Mr. Joplin's car from the balcony. What did you two talk about in there? Why did it take you so long?" I frowned, trying to hold back my anger. "Not your business. You're the one who put me in his bed. Why ---- do you even care?" Reuben leaned against the wall, arms crossed, as if he hadn't a worry in the world. "That's different. Even when you pay for sex, it's one payment per time. Right?" I stared at him, shocked that he saw me as nothing more than a sex worker. What made it worse? He was the one who'd put me up for sale in the first place. Iswung to slap him, but he snatched my wrist and hurled me onto the couch. My leg hit the couch's leg, the sharp pain bringing tears to my eyes. Reuben moved closer and tightened his fingers around my chin. "Cut the act, Elise. You've already slept with someone else, haven't you? You're my wife. So what if I take a little compensation? "Have you even heard what people are saying at work? Everyone knows you've been sleeping with him. Who knows how long you've been cheating on me?" Iclenched my jaw, fighting back the tears. I wasn't ---- going to cry. Crying meant weakness. "I'm divorcing you, Reuben!" "Divorce?" He arched a brow, scoffed, and held his phone up. The screen showed photos of Spencer and me- leaving the same hotel room, him fending off drinks for me, and me lying on the bed while he stood over me. Every shot clearly captured our faces. "Did you really think I wouldn't have a backup plan? Imagine tomorrow's headline if I sent these to the press-Joplin Group CEO Caught in Late-Night Rendezvous with Married Secretary." Aharsh laugh burst out of him. "Reuben Slade, you bastard!" He patted my cheek, his laughter dripping with smug satisfaction. "Lissy, that's still the best you've got after all this time?" Reuben shook his phone, his eyes glinting with ---- something sinister as he leaned in. "Lissy, how about you have Mr. Joplin's kid? I'll delete these photos, and you get him to make me general manager. Deal?" "In your dreams!" I spat straight in his face. Reuben's face hardened, his hand darting up like a viper. I squeezed my eyes shut, waiting for the slap, but it never came. I looked again to find him watching me with a half-smile. "Scratch that. Why bother with you? I'll take this straight to Mr. Joplin. I bet he'd take the deal."
