SOFIYA

I keep looking at Mikhail out of the corner of my eye. “How did you find me?”

His hands tighten on the steering wheel. “Your sisters.”

“They’re ok?”

“They looked fine to me.” Even though he’s answering my questions in a calm voice, there’s a simmering anger underneath. Anger directed at me.

“I’m sorry,” is all I can think to say.

“Why did you leave?”

“I didn’t want to.”

“But you did. So, why did you leave?”

I swallow hard. How can I tell Mikhail what’s on my mind when I don’t even fully understand it myself? “I don’t want to be your trophy.”

He frowns, clear confusion in his eyes. “What?”

“You said you’d only let my sisters stay if I gave you my virginity in front of other people. You want me for my body. I’m not your equal.”

“So, you left because of that?”

“I left because my sisters were going to leave anyway, and I wanted to protect them. We deserve our freedom. You don’t own my body, Mikhail.”

He stops the car so suddenly that I jerk forward in my seat. “I do own you, Sofiya. You’re mine now. And you disobeyed me. Were you trying to hurt me?”

“I …” Hurt him? “I didn’t think you cared about me.”

The laugh that escapes him is without humor. “Care about you? You’re my wife. You’re my everything now. Of course, I fucking care about you.”

I flinch. “I didn’t know.”

He inhales deeply and runs his hand down his face. “I know you’re scared right now. I don’t want you to fear me, but I do want you to respect me. I want you to give me your body because you desire me as I desire you. I never wanted you to leave.” After a painfully quiet moment, he restarts the car.

I stare out the window, watching the houses and apartments zip by. I hurt Mikhail more than I thought I would by leaving.

And that hurts me.

Because I just want to make him proud of me. But I also don’t know how to give him all of me without losing a part of myself. And I can’t lose that part of myself. The part that is intrinsically me.

Mikhail pulls into the parking garage of our apartment building. “Here’s what’s going to happen. We’re going inside. You’re going to check in on your sisters because I know you’ll want to. And then we’re going into my play room, and I’m going to teach you another lesson. I will push your body in ways I haven’t before, Sofiya. You can, of course, say stop at any time. But if you want to feel better about leaving me, then you will do this. It’s the only way we can move forward. I will forgive you afterward.” He pauses, then says, “Your sisters will leave. I will not have them here causing issues. You are partly responsible for this. I am not angry with you. But I am disappointed.”

I flinch again. Hearing that makes me feel a million times worse.

“Now, we’re going inside. Are you ok with all this?”

Seeing as I have no choice? I am.
