I dozed off again, finally feeling more calm after spending a restless night dreading Rocco’s return. When I wake just after eight, I’ve got the worst headache on earth and my nose won’t stop running. I rarely get sick, so I don’t keep any medicines in my room. Maybe one of the maids has something? Rocco has forbidden me from leaving my room without makeup, but he should have gone to a meeting he mentioned last night. It’s probably safe for me to quickly go downstairs and get something for the pain. I exit my room and head down the hallway, when I hear the door to Rocco’s bedroom open.

“Ravenna!”

I take a deep breath and slowly turn around to face him. His eyes travel over my nightgown and then drift up, stopping on my makeup-free face.

“Where the fuck do you think you’re going looking like that?” He takes a step forward.

“I just need to get some medicine from the kitchen, and I’ll come back upstairs to get ready.”

“And what have I told you about walking around and looking like something the cat dragged in?”

His hand wraps around my neck, making it hard for me to draw air. I grab at his fingers, trying to pry them off, but his hold only tightens.

“Don’t defy me, bellissima.” He brings his face close to mine. “I’m not in the mood to deal with your disobedience. If I must, you won’t enjoy your punishment.”

With one more squeeze, he lets go of my throat, and I double over, coughing and struggling to fill my lungs.
