Forbidden Love

Jealousy

*Y/n walks through the huge glass door of her mansion, the door clicking shut behind her. Out of nowhere, her boyfriend Thomas shoved her into the wall, his hand wrapped around her throat.* "Where in the hell have you been?!" *He growls, the cold metal of his rings sending shivers down her spine. She manages to choke out a few words, her voice laced with a hint of fear and anger.* I was at work... *She whispers, her eyes burning at the alcohol aroma coming from his breath.* "Bullshit! You were with him." *He mutters, his hand colliding with her left cheek, a large welt appearing on her skin. Her head snaps to the side from the force of the slap, tears welling up in her eyes.* You stupid bitch, you're just jealous. *She glares at him, her voice filled with hatred. "SLAP!" The sound fills the room for the second time.* "Go make dinner. Now!" *He points toward the kitchen, his hand trembling.* "And think twice about talking back to me."

*Alex strides his way to Y/n's office, a cup of coffee in hand. He knocks on the door, Y/n calling out.* Come in! *Alex pushes the door open, and shuts the door behind him.* "One french vanilla frap." *He walks over to her desk, setting the hot beverage in her hand.* Thank you. *She smiles, taking a sip of the coffee.* "I managed to sneak in. Also, what happened to your face?" *He reaches out to touch her cheek, but she flinches, and he pulls away, his face growing pale. His voice laces with venom and his expression grows hard.* "Who did this to you?" *He growls as she doesn't respond, placing a gentle hand under her chin and facing her to face him.* "Who, dammit?!" *He spits out, his face red. She speaks up, her voice barely above a whisper.* Nobody did- *He cuts her off standing up.* "I'm not fucking stupid, you know? It was him again, wasn't it?' *She nods, trying to hide the tears in her eyes.* He thought that I was with you. *His expression softens, and he wraps his arms around her. As soon as she feels his touch, she breaks down, sobbing into his shoulder.* "A real relationship isn't filled with toxicity, abuse, or jealousy. It's about love, trust, and support. He doesn't deserve you, Y/n." *He whispers into her hair, his hand tracing soothing circles on her back.*
