I make it into my room, closing the door, and drop my ruined suit on the floor by the bed before collapsing on it. My phone is close enough in the suit pants if I am summoned.

I shut my eyes and just let myself go someplace in my mind other than here for a few minutes.

The smug fucking bastard is going to pay.

I wake later to quiet sobs. I must have faded right out. I know it’s Rose in my room, because she won’t disobey Cezar, and Whisper has been left alone to let it sink in what she was forced to do to me. I don’t blame her. Nobody says no to Cezar.

I lie still and take a moment to hear the proof she is actually human underneath all that female terminator she shows everybody, and then I make a small moan to let her know I am coming to. She won’t want me to know she has let her guard down, so I don’t face her yet.

Her sobs finally quiet. She’s probably erasing her tears and erecting her emotional walls of steel. Once I know Rose has her game face back on, the one she wears for all the men down here, I turn my head to face her.

“Hey, Rose.” I try to make my voice light and friendly. “I got myself into a spot of trouble after I left you.” I give her the best grin I can muster. “How are you feeling?” Stupid question, I know her back would be on fire. At least she’s dressed in yoga pants and a tank top, and not that leather catsuit he makes her wear. “You should be resting.” An idiotic comment, because Cezar ordered her here. “Don’t stand there wondering if this is your fault.” She knows you don’t question his orders, and she heard me tell Cezar I was finishing up with her back, which was as good as saying no to his command to get Whisper. “This is on me.”

She shakes her head, a fierce expression on her face, as her long ponytail swishes back and forth. She’s not totally lost inside that head of hers, because she’s able to disagree with me. She’s no longer a robot in front of me; she is showing emotion.

“Let me guess.” I let out a pain-filled breath. “Filip already filled you in on all the grim details, and the why? The sadistic bastard.”

She nods. She doesn’t quite know what to make of my careless words around her.

“Look... I just need a hand getting to the shower so I can clean up the mess my ass appears to have gotten itself into. Can you do that for me?” I’m worried about her. No female should be put through what she has. She’s been traumatized enough with however long she’s been Cezar’s prisoner.

Rose nods her head and becomes all business again. I push up with my palms off the bed, my muscles protesting while cursing that fucker under my breath. Rose tucks her hand under my elbow and braces herself to pull me off the bed until I can stand.
