What was that reaction? The thoughts were racing through my mind the more I considered what had happened when I’d asked about my brothers. His silence, then the answer that they were fine. The awkwardness. How he’d left the room so suddenly.

There was definitely something off, and it caused my heart to race in my chest and my hands to become clammy. I couldn’t get rid of the feeling that something had happened. His anxiousness around my asking was the sign that I needed. I wished I could have just run out of the room and gone to see Alessandra. I needed to see her. I also wanted to know if she’d found anything out from Savio. The chances were slim, but she might have information. It was not knowing that was driving me crazy.

I tore the blanket from my legs and walked towards the door, peering at it until it became a blur. There was no way to escape through the damn thing. I couldn’t even push it open from my side. Every time Marcello entered the room, he’d always leave the door open, because it was impossible to open from my end. There was no doorknob and there was a latch on the other side.

I brought my foot to the door and kicked it as hard as I could, feeling the pain ripple up from my foot straight to my hip. I clenched my jaw as the tears formed in my eyes. Fuck them all. I needed to see her. I also wanted to see my brothers. I wanted us to be a family again. I hated the Cavetti’s for what they had done and what they were continuing to do. I wanted to be free and to feel the sun against my skin.

My arms wrapped around my chest as I cried and felt the world crashing around me. Why did I care about him? That was the worst part. I could tell that something was growing. What had started as a game was developing into something that I couldn’t describe. He was still aloof, though, avoiding my question with the words they’re fine. I could tell that he was lying.

I fell to the cold floor and rocked myself as I cried. No one else would do it, so I needed to console myself. It was just the difficulty and bitterness of the situation relieving itself finally. After weeks of not allowing myself to feel anything, it finally burst through.

And I couldn’t stop the tears.

There was a pain in my chest as I keeled over. I held my hands to my heart, the hopelessness of my situation ingraining itself into my body. I couldn’t get rid of the feeling that this would be what my life would be like from now on. Would I be trapped forever? Would I be forced to be the Cavetti’s plaything until I was no longer useful to them?

The pain didn’t subside, even after the tears had.

The slit at the bottom of the door slid open and a tray was pushed through.
