CHAPTER 22

CIERA

When you’re a little girl, you dream of the day you’re to get married. You plan every detail out in your head over the years. I always imagined a knight would come to my rescue, saving me from whatever fate I feared my great-uncle had planned for me.

As I got older, it became clear that no one was coming to save me. I either had to resign myself to the circumstances I was born into or figure out a way to bring all the monsters around me to their knees and then cut off their heads.

Liam gifted me with a glimmer of hope when he allowed me the opportunity to learn from one of the best computer hackers in the world. I’m not naive. I’m fully aware he had his own agenda that’s yet to be revealed to me.

He did everything within his power to mold me into a good little submissive, but I’m a far better actress than I am controllable and malleable. That’s not to say I wasn’t affected by the years spent under his tutelage. I have mental and physical scars, but I’m not broken. I can hide my emotions for the most part, but even my brim fills from time to time.

When it comes to my interactions with Domenico, it’s like no reservoir or dam exists at all. His words either turn me on or light a fire under my butt that makes me want to jump back in his face the same way he gets in mine.

Last night at the bar was the first time he struck fear into me. I didn’t like it, and for some odd reason, for a split second, at least, I don’t think he enjoyed my reaction either. But there were so many people standing around us, and having just . . . with . . .

I’m not going there. That memory is locked up behind a steel door inside my head. If I think about it, I’ll get hot all over again. Krishna and I made him come in a public place. That doesn’t even bother me in the light of day like it should—shouldn’t it?

They both questioned me on the drive from that hole-in-the-wall bar to Krishna’s apartment in Brooklyn. I told them the same thing I said to Sienna and Sasha but left out my suspicions. I wanted to tell them, but I’ve already dropped my guard around their family enough.

We rode with Krishna after leaving the bar, but before we made it to his place, Domenico shocked me by telling him to swing by the pharmacy. At first, I figured he was filling the birth control prescription the doctor had written earlier in the week, but that wasn’t the reason for the detour.

Krishna parked, then Domenico handed me several twenty-dollar bills and told me to get whatever I needed for my period and anything else I needed. I did need items since we weren’t going back to Tony’s house, but I wasn’t sure how he knew I was on my cycle.
