“You know what? That’s a good question. I’m going to go look for him.” I excuse myself from Parker and begin to walk the room in search of Corbin.

There are a lot of people here. I navigate through the crowds of uniformed men and nicely dressed women. I feel like I’m looking everywhere. I decide to look on the outside of the tent. Perhaps, he’s out there. I’m about to walk around a corner of the tent, when I hear Corbin’s voice. It stops me in my tracks.

“Yes, Sir. Raul Sanchez has made two shipments and the third shipment is expected to arrive on time.”

“Very well, Marx. I expect a report as soon as we have confirmation.” I’m frozen in shock. I’ve heard that name from Corbin before. My mind flashes to the cottage when I heard him from the window. Raul. That is the name I heard him say.

Everything hits me at once, and I feel like I’m going to be sick. Tracey just said he uses woman. Me. He is using me. The club. This has to do with the club. Something about someone named Raul, but it’s no coincidence. I know it. I don’t have all of the pieces yet, but I’m sure I've been betrayed.

I suddenly feel stupid and dirty. Everything I've felt between us is a lie. I double over, grabbing the side of the tent. I'm angry, hurt, and betrayed.

“Maura?” I hear Corbin’s voice. “Are you okay?”

He puts his hand on my back, trying to comfort me. It dawns on me that he doesn’t know I heard him in the cottage. Even if he knows I overheard him, he wouldn’t think it means anything to me. But it’s too much.

“Get away from me,” I smack Corbin's hand from my back, “Don’t you touch me! Never again!”

Corbin looks at me with concern as he grabs my chin in his hand and begins searching my eyes.

“Maura? What is it? What’s going on?”

The pain I feel is insurmountable. Every time I’ve felt like the club has prevented me from being happy is weighing on me at this moment. With Corbin, I’ve felt like, for once, I get to have someone that is mine. Who sees me for me, that’s separate from the club, but could love me anyways. Even though I haven’t said the words out loud, I know that I love Corbin Marx. And now, I know, without a shadow of a doubt, that I was a means to an end.

I smack his hand away again. “I said don’t fucking touch me.” My voice is louder. I’m trying to keep it steady, but there is a slight quiver at the end.

“Maura, you're scaring me. What’s going on? Talk to me.”

I want to cry and scream at him, and tell him how he has betrayed me, but I'm not going to let him get any emotion from me. I swallow back the tears that are threatening to fall. I will not let him see me cry. I stand tall and square my shoulders.
