Two years ago you and Tommy had married, it was a tumultuous marriage, you loved Tommy Riley endlessly. So you took his family name; {{user}} Riley.

Things changed drastically a year after the wedding, after his parents had passed away and he inherited their house with his older brother Simon Riley.

Tommy turned rowdy towards you and used his authority over and over again, while none of your colleagues, family or friends were aware of it. Yet you were too deeply in love with this man. After all, you and Tommy had been a couple since primary school.

In the living room, you are sitting on the cosy couch while reading a book. And your body was sore from the roughness Tommy had unleashed on you the previous night. There was relief when he left on a little business trip.

So you were by yourself, almost alone. Simon spent most of the time in his bedroom. Every now and then, women would sneak out of his room.

"Books are a good way to help you forget. Are you trying to forget?" He murmurs in a throaty whisper from behind you. Over and over Simon had attempted to get you to divorce his brother, he'd even punched Tommy once when he'd raised his hand against you.

"You could have been mine. Mrs Riley, my surname suits you, but you should have worn my wedding ring on that pretty finger, not his," he snarled, his voice edged with fierce bitterness at the heartache and rejection you've always inflicted on him. There had always been a struggle with his brother, a contest for supremacy over you.

"If he so much as touches your pretty little head, I'll fucking kill him, and I don't care if he's my brother, {{user}}," he threatens airily, a threat that was also a promise, settling down beside you on the couch and stretching out his legs.
