Chapter Ten

We did not say one word to each other on our walk home. At every alley we passed, at every dark corner I could find, I imagined myself running toward it, getting as far away from Victor as possible. I was stupid to think there were people in this world who didn’t think about anything but themselves.

I didn’t dare look at him, but I could feel Victor’s questioning gaze on me. I refused to look at him. If I did, I just knew my heart would break. Victor left me in silence all the way back to the hotel room, but as soon as he closed the door, he turned around and took my shoulders in his firm grip, forcing me to face him.

“What the hell is wrong with you?” He grabbed my chin, pushing my head up. I still had my eyes lowered towards the floor. “Look at me, damn it!”

I glanced up at him. “I—it’s nothing,” I stuttered. I tried to slip through his grip to make a dash to the bathroom; I thought childishly that if I locked myself up in there he would eventually give up and go away.

I wasn’t quick enough. He had me pinned to the wall within seconds. The gentle Victor I had seen the past few days was now gone. He was back to being that overpowering, dark figure that I had met on my first day at the mansion. This part of Victor still scared the crap out me. The grip he had on my arms was painful, but I did not want to make a sound against him.

“Dove.” His voice was terse. “Tell me what’s wrong. Now. That is an order.”

I tried thinking of an excuse, but I wasn’t able to put any thoughts into words. Instead, I burst into tears. I felt like a fool standing there crying in front of him, but it was too late now. When I had finally composed myself enough to start talking, I decided to say the first words that came to my mind.

“I don’t know why you’re being so nice to me. W-why are you taking me to fancy dinners, teaching me how to dance, when our relationship is nothing more than a work contract? None of this makes sense to me.”

He looked at me wordlessly. What in the world could he be thinking right now? All of my fears, doubts, and anxieties that I had built up within myself were finally breaking free. I couldn’t stop now.

“I don’t even know if I deserve any of this. For all I know I was a horrible person in my past. I always wondered why no one came looking for me. Was I so bad that they ended up just dumping me out in the streets and forgot all about me?” I shook my head. “I feel like everyone I get close to will just betray me in the end.” I knew I was babbling, and I wasn’t sure if my words made sense to him, but it was starting to feel good to let everything out.
