She betrayed me. I should have seen it coming, but I was so occupied with my revenge that I missed it.

Looking back on the last few days, I wonder how much of it was an act and how much was real? Did she really want me to fuck her, did she really like spending time with me? Did she ever trust me, even one single bit? I don’t know, and the truth is, I don’t think I’ll ever know now.

Walking into the kitchen, I find Marie and our new cook, Celeste, chatting about some kind of new café in town.

“They just have the best pastries and lattes, I don’t know what they put in them, but we have to figure it out,” Marie chirps.

Celeste–who is about the same age as Marie–claps her hand in front of her in excitement. “I wonder how late they’re open, maybe we can go after work?”

“Is breakfast ready?” Both of them jump at the sound of my voice, making me realize how harsh I must sound.

“Yes, I was just about to bring it up,” Marie explains, clearly flustered by my presence. She quickly fills the glass on the tray with apple juice, her hand shaking so much that she is spilling half of it in the process.

“I’ll take it.” Walking further into the kitchen, I grab the food, not missing how Marie flinches at my movement. Good, she should be afraid.

On my way back to the bedroom, my anger about Elena’s betrayal only expands. She lied to me, kept secrets from me, and then tried to get away and run back to the enemy. And here I am, still wondering if she would like a fucking pastry from the new café.

This woman messed with my head, got under my skin, and it’s time that I turn the tables on her.

Holding the tray in one hand, I unlock the door with the other, then push the door open with my shoulder. Elena looks just as pitiful now as when I left her a few hours ago. I didn’t want to leave, wanted to stay, and hold her in my arms, but that would’ve been counterproductive.

I needed her to stew in her emotions, let her anger simmer a little, and give myself a chance to cool off because I really, really wanted to fuck her and knew if I didn’t leave, I would’ve done just that.

Briefly, she glances up at me before turning her head away.

I sit down on the side of the bed and set the tray down between us. Breaking off a piece of blueberry waffle, I hold it out in front of her face.

“Time to eat.”

“Untie me then,” she says while still looking away.

“No, I’m feeding you.”

“I’m not hungry, then.”

“I’m not untying you any time soon. You will let me feed you, or you will not eat at all.” I swear she is pushing every one of my buttons just to see if I’ll snap again.

She shakes her head but still doesn’t look at me directly.
