CHAPTER 12
Alek
I canât believe I lost my cool again. Iâve been attending Brigitteâs party for years and have never acted that way. Usually, I watch the festivities and occasionally join in, but Iâve never beat anyone up. I save that part of myself for dealings in the dark. Or, I let Dimitri handle torturing someone if Iâm not in the mood.
But since marrying Katia, Iâve consistently lost my temper. This is not the first time Iâve punched someone in front of a crowd. I did it at the Pink Paradise, the night Katia first tried running from me. I also killed a man at the club, thinking heâd been flirting with Katia. Before meeting Katia, I didnât act like this. If someone fucked me over, Iâd wait to get that person alone before killing him. But Iâve changed since Katia entered my life.
I mean, fuck. I almost killed Stacey in front of the other girls at the club. And now, Iâm getting kicked out of an orgy Iâve attended many times before, all because I lost my temper. I put that man in that position. I told the crowd of people that they could fuck my wife. I knew it was a lie. I knew it was a trick. I wanted to punch someone, to feel my fist making contact with their face.
After Katia argued with Grigor, it set me on edge. I never wanted Katia to engage with her father again. He might want to help her escape, though the little weasel is too much a coward to actually do it. But a fatherâs love is strong, and he could just decide to help Katia if he wanted to. I canât let that happen.
Anger filled me at the thought of Katia leaving me again, running away with her father. So, I flogged her for it. Even though she gave no indication that she wanted to be around her father again. In fact, she cursed him out. I just needed to remind her that Iâm in charge of her life. Her father needs to be inconsequential to her.
But when I whipped her, it didnât feel right. I wasnât whipping her out of punishment as Iâd suggested. It had nothing to do with teaching her a lesson. It had to do with my own fucking insecurities. Iâm not a man who feels insecure, but look at what Katia has turned me into. An unhinged, crazed monster.
When Katia cried in my arms, I felt regret for the first time in a long time. I shouldnât have whipped her like that. She was right. Her father was the one to sell her to me. Sheâs innocent in all of that.
She didnât deserve to be punished tonight. I just canât control the urge to break her down. Itâs instinctual.
Now, as we sit in the car, the urgency Iâve felt all night is still there. Iâm not satisfied with how things went tonight. I need to push it down, lest I do something else Iâll regret.
