“We need to talk…”

Father’s voice bleeds through the walls like an approaching storm. Each time his fist slams against my locked bedroom door, I wince.

It’s been two days since Ray dragged me back home, and I’m already almost wishing he hadn’t—no matter how terrifying he became near the end of my stay with him.

“I’ve already told you everything I know!” I shout back. Tucking my face into my knees, I try to hide from the world.

These past forty-eight hours have been utter shit. Without a laptop or a phone or school to distract myself with, I’ve been forced to sit back and remember my strange weekend with the older Irish stranger, over and over again. Every word he said to me, every way he touched me, kissed me. Everything he revealed.

My heart sinks as I close my eyes and do my best to ignore my father’s demands.

I’m trapped. Again.

This time, though, that little bit of hope that I had worked so hard to build has been destroyed.

There’s almost no chance I’ll be able to finish this semester at school. Father will be keeping an extra close eye on me. That means I’ll probably fail my classes, or at least get such bad grades that nothing will matter anymore. And since Ray kept my phone and my laptop, I can’t even contact anyone to beg for leniency.

Not that I expect leniency from anyone anymore.

I’m just a pawn.

It hurts to think. But it’s the truth.

Being a pawn was what I was born for. It was always my fate. When you’re the daughter of a don, being used by others is your destiny. There is no escaping destiny. I see that clearly now.

Still, I can ignore it for a little bit longer—even if that’s all I can do.

Eventually, Father stops trying to knock down my door. He’s too cheap to break the hinges and force his way in. Sure, if he were truly worried about me, he might do it anyway, just to make sure I was alright. But that’s not him.

He’s not worried about his daughter. He’s worried about his reputation. I’ve heard him and Sonia talking outside in the hallway. It’s like they’re discussing a chess game.

How do we get the spoiled princess to let her guard down? Treats? Threats?

They haven’t been able to find my weakness. Not yet. And I can only thank the heavens that they don’t know enough about me to understand what I truly fear.

Not that I can blame them. Hell, I hardly know what I fear most.

Is it Ray? Is it Father? Is it my destiny?

Everything swirls around inside of me, tugging on my heartstrings like a dark hurricane until I’m tangled into a thousand knots.

I don’t know what will happen next. But the longer I ignore it all, the less I can ignore what’s happening inside of me.

And that includes the hunger.

With the knocks at my door long gone, there’s nothing to cover up the rumbling of my stomach.

I have plenty of food here—my nightstand, my desk, my dresser drawer are all covered by mostly untouched plates.
