Heather

Claudio throws me over his shoulder and carries me into the bedroom.

I’m crying so hard that I can barely speak. He tears my clothes from my body, and I slap at his arms uselessly, clawing at him. “Is he alive?” I scream. “Did you kill him?”

“You are my wife, and I’ll prove it to you,” he growls. His eyes seem to glow with a strange light; he’s like a man possessed. “You’re mine.”

I thrash and struggle as he secures one wrist and then the other, and chains me up with the cuffs at the end of the bed frame, so I’m standing facing him. He adjusts the chains so I’m standing on tip-toe, completely helpless.

“You could have been killed!” he snarls. “You could have been taken! Do you know what kind of enemies I have? Men who are just like me! Beasts from your worst nightmares! You do not leave me, and you do not go anywhere unescorted, ever! What I’m about to give you isn’t even the smallest taste of what they’d do to you!”

“Answer me, you bastard! Is my brother alive?” I scream at him.

He doesn’t say a word, just walks away to a chest of drawers. He returns with a riding crop. When he gets close to me, I spit in his face. He slowly wipes it away with his hand.

“Tell me! Now!”

He draws back his arm and then slashes my breast, leaving a burning red stripe of pain, and I buck against the chains, biting my lip to keep from shrieking. “Every time you give me an order, you get another stripe.”

I don’t care. This is my brother’s life.

“Tell me!” I scream.

The whip snaps through the air, leaving another slash that cris-crosses the first. “Say that you’ll never try to run again.”

I’ll run the first chance I get. I’ll run a million miles. I’ll circle the globe a dozen times, I’ll run so fast. “You’re a monster! Is my brother alive? Tell me!” I howl. He responds with another slash, and then stands there, waiting.

“Say it. Say you’ll never leave.”

I shriek at him until my throat is raw, until my breasts are burning. The muscles in my arms are on fire. The strength slowly bleeds from my body, washed away by chilling despair.

Then I collapse, hanging from the chains, and I sob and sob. My breasts are red-hot, crossed by lines of fire. I feel the pain pulsing with every heartbeat. He unchains my wrists, but he’s not done with me yet. He moves me on to the bed, lying face up, chaining my hands to the bed frame.

“Please,” I beg, defeated. “I’ll never leave, if you just tell me my brother’s alive. I swear it. Please, please just tell me, Claudio. I’ll do anything you ask.”

He looks down at me, as if from a million miles away. His eyes still burn with anger, a fire that will never extinguish. “You’re chained to my bed. You’ll do anything I ask anyway.”

He stalks away, returning to the chest of drawers.
