The strong smell of metal fills Anastassia nostrils. Slowly her eyes open as she regains her consciousness. The bathroom was dark other than the slither of light coming from the cracked door. Feeling around her she feels the sticky thick substance that she was laying in, whimpering lowly as pain radiates through her body she does her best to sit up. Her exposed back hits the cool marble of the tub as she relaxes trying to regain some strength. She thinks back to how she ended up here again.

After showering and putting Ayden to bed Ana enters the bedroom she shared with Adonis. Softly shutting the door behind her she looks around the bedroom coming up short on seeing her husband anywhere in the room. She heads for the bathroom hearing the shower turn off as she enters. Adonis exits the shower and wraps a plush white towel around his waist while towel drying his mess of curls. Ana bites into her bottom lip and wraps her arms around his waist as he stands in front of the mirror.

"You look good." Ana whispers while kissing his exposed tatted back and shoulder.

Adonis smirks and continues to dry himself while Ana takes a seat on the edge of the tub. Anastassia keeps her hazel eyes on him as he remains silent slipping on his boxers and t shirt.

"Ayden sleep?" He finally questions after a few minutes of silence.

"Yes."

Adonis nods again not at all interested in giving her a verbal response. Sniffing lowly while rubbing his already red nose Adonis turns and looks down at Ana who was waiting for him to make his next move.

"Are you okay?" Ana ask.

"I'm great. How you feeling?"

"I'm okay."

"Just okay? You not feeling great too?" He questions with a raised brow.

Ana bites into her bottom lip nervously. She could tell Adonis was high again and if he wasn't fucking her , he was going to end up beating her. His monotone voice and his standoffish attitude was telling her everything she needed to know. Now she was looking for a way out of the bathroom that seemed to be growing smaller the longer the two of them were in there alone.

"You wanna feel great too?"

"Not tonight... Ayden isn't feeling well I don't want him waking up in middle of night and seeing me like that."

Adonis waves her off and pulls the drugs out of the closet in the bathroom. Just because she wasn't going to do them didn't mean he wasn't going to do another line. Ana sighs watching him snort up the drugs and stands to exit the bathroom while he was occupied. As her hand reaches the doorknob Adonis grabs her wrist gripping tightly, she could feel the bruise forming before he even let go. Ana turns and looks up at Adonis and  his bloodshot eyes.

"Where you going?"

"To lay down." Ana whispers.

"Nah, we need to talk."

"I don't wanna talk to you while you're like this Adonis." Ana responds.

"Like what?" Adonis ask as he steps in front of her twisting her wrist in his hand.

Ana winces in pain and tries to get free. Adonis uses his full body force and slams her small body into the door slamming the door behind her shut from the impact. Ana bites back the tears trying her best not to give in to the intense pain she was feeling.

"Have you talked to my sister since she left?" Adonis ask never letting his grip he had on her go.

"Just once. Yesterday."
