Chapter 16

One second, I’m lying in my bed, bored with my lack of plans. The next minute, Yuri is here. In my house.

This cannot be happening.

“Yuri, you can’t be here.” I jump up from my bed, trying to stop him before he enters my bedroom.

He isn’t big. His power doesn’t come from strength; it comes from control. His eyes are beady, his chin weak. He’s all bent out of shape. I know this look of his.

His dark hair and dark eyes and dark soul penetrate me in ways I wish they didn’t. But Yuri is the kind of man who can force people to do things they otherwise wouldn’t.

Like be his woman. Like stay as long as I did. Like forget about my dignity, and forfeit myself to him.

Maybe I’ve been here at my brother’s house for six months without any idea of what I actually want for my life, but I do know this: I do not want Yuri. At all. I’d rather sit in bed for the rest of my life than be with a man like him.

And now he’s here.

In my room.

Looking at me in a way that scares me.

“You think I’m just going to forget about the girl who left me?” Yuri steps towards me.

“Yuri, I’m not your girl anymore. We’re over. And you can’t be here. I don’t want you here.”

“You think I really care what you want? You think you can walk away from me, Catalina, without me having the last word with you?”

“Okay,” I tell him, trying to think on my feet, “if you something to say to me, that’s fine. What is it?”

I’ll let him keep talking, until I can figure out a plan to make him leave.

“Oh, Catty-cat. You know I don’t actually want to talk. I have other plans for you and me tonight.”

“Why are you in town, Yuri? You’re a long way from home.”

“I thought you could introduce me to your brother, but it looks like he’s not here,” Yuri says, looking around my bedroom.

My phone is off, and all I want right now I for it to be on so I can call Jude and ask for help. I want him to come.

Does that make me weak—that in my moment of crisis he’s the person I think of? That I want him to come save me, rescue me? Isn’t that the exact same thing that Evie told him he had a pattern of doing?

Still, I’m scared. I look toward my phone, willing it to turn on.

“What the hell do you think you’re doing, Catty?” Yuri walks towards me in two long strides. We stand face-to-face, and I’m trembling.

“Get away from me,” I tell him loudly. “Please, Yuri. Just go.”

“Oh, honey, that’s not going to happen,” he sneers. He reaches for my phone and throws it against the wall. “What, you think you’re going to call some boyfriend to come save you?”

“I don’t need saving. Yuri, go. I’ll give you whatever you want.”

“Hell, yeah, you will.” Yuri grins and reaches for my waist.
