"If you really were a mistress, you'd just end up crying back to me," he replied coldly.
Furious, Alicia lashed out, kicking him sharply.
The pointed toe of her heel made him wince, but he held his ground.
"Letgo!" she demanded, struggling to break free.

"Stop fighting with me.
Get changed, and let's go to the restaurant." Alicia pulled back defiantly.

They hit him harder than he'd anticipated.
Out of breath, Alicia looked at him, her frustration boiling over.
"Caden, what do you even want from me?" The frustration from his coldness earlier had not faded; if anything, it had only grown.

"Why don't you do it?" he offered, certain she'd be too soft hearted to actually go through with it. But to his surprise, Alicia didn't hesitate.
Her slap landed sharply, the sound echoing in the room.
