(Set before the twins were born but after the got married)

Adrien's P.O.V

"I hate you...!" I screamed, red-faced, heart beating.

There was a moment of silence in the whole of the house before I heard a spoon clang onto the floor.

The sound was ugly, but not as ugly as the expression on Luka's face. It was then that I realized what I'd just said.

I'd told the love of my life that I hated him. And now he was looking at me with so much anger and pain.

"If you hate me so much, why are you complaining that I stay up too late? It's none of your business if I want to go for a drink," he yelled, making me flinch.

Tears filled my eyes.

"Luka, it's not healthy! Why don't you just talk to me instead? Why can't you see this is harming you?" I cried, tears slipping down my face.

"Why are you such a crybaby? You cry at the littlest things," he sneered.

I could tell he was a little bit tipsy. I could smell the faraway scent of whiskey on his breath.

I knew I shouldn't be fighting with him when he was intoxicated, but I couldn't help it. I knew something was bothering him. I knew he had his own demons.

But why wasn't he letting me help? It hurt to see him like this, alone and trying to forget.

This wasn't the Luka I married.

"Only you can make me cry. You know that, Luka," I whisper.

He laughs cruelly, telling me to f*ck off, before refilling the glass in his hand with more alcohol.

"Stop. Please," I choke out in a tiny voice.

Suddenly he downs the glass and throws it behind him. The ᴄʀᴀᴄᴋ of the glass makes me flinch. More tears roll down my face.

"Why are you being like this?" I asked, scared of the man standing in front of me.

Before I could comprehend what was happening, Luka pinned me against the wall, tightly gripping on my wrists as he growled, "you know, you're beginning to annoy me."

He bursts into laughter like it's funny, letting go of my wrists as he says,

"You must've annoyed your father as well. That's probably why he left you," Luka sneers.

Luka probably never even saw the slap coming. Neither did I, I guess. But I felt my hand burn as it connected with Luka's cheek.
