CHAPTER 13

My mind raced, a whirlwind of confusion and frustration, as I stumbled out of the cab. The night air hit me, cool and biting, but it barely registered. My body felt sluggish, like I was moving through a thick fog. How had I even ended up here? One minute, I was sitting in that club. And then, the next thing I knew, I was here.

I never expected to wake up outside Maxim’s mansion, alone in a cab with no explanation, no clarity. My head was still fuzzy, but my emotions were sharp, jagged, cutting through me like glass.

I felt... wrong. A sense of violation lingered—knowing I hadn’t left on my own terms, that someone had decided for me. But beneath that feeling of helplessness, something far more powerful surged: anger. It was deep and relentless, pulsing inside me with every step I took toward the mansion’s looming, cold exterior.

I hated how this place, this prison, had come to symbolize everything I’d lost. My freedom, my autonomy, my sense of self. And now, I was close to losing my mind, spinning between half-truths and lies. I didn’t even know who I was anymore. But more than that, I hated the man inside. The man who had controlled everything from the shadows, who had kept me at his mercy, making sure I never learned the full truth.

Maxim.

The very name sent a cold shiver down my spine, followed by a burning heat that I didn’t want to acknowledge. He had become an unshakable force in my life, pushing me to the edge, testing my boundaries, making me feel things I hadn’t thought possible—things I wasn’t sure I even wanted to feel.

I didn’t know when it happened, but somewhere along the way, my anger had twisted into something else, something far more dangerous. Desire. As much as I wanted to loathe him, as much as I wanted to break free of his hold on me, I couldn’t ignore the way my body reacted to him. Every time he was near, every time he touched me—even in anger—it set something off inside me that I couldn’t control.

But tonight, it wasn’t just about desire or fear. Tonight, it was about answers. Answers that I had waited far too long for.

I stormed through the halls of the mansion, my steps echoing off the marble floors. My heart pounded in my chest, not just from the physical exertion, but from the weight of what was to come. The confrontation I had been putting off, the moment I had been dreading, was finally here. I didn’t know what I would say, or how it would end, but I knew one thing for sure: I was done being controlled. I was done letting Maxim dictate my life, my choices, my future.

By the time I reached his office, the door already cracked open, I was trembling. Not from fear, but from the sheer force of the emotions building inside me, threatening to explode. Rage, frustration, longing—it all mixed together into a volatile cocktail that was ready to ignite.
