Chapter 73
+25 Bonus
Rebecca’s hoarse cries fell on deaf ears as Vance’s actions became increasingly excessive, stripping away her defenses until she felt utterly exposed.
She suspected he was bare, given the slick press of his skin against hers, which filled her with a paralyzing dread.
Despair gripped her tightly, and she realized that tonight, she might lose everything.
“Stop! I hate you!” she yelled, her voice filled with genuine resentment.
She was on the brink of starting a new life brimming with hope, yet here he was, dragging her back into the abyss,
In the wake of despair came an eerie calm. Her strength was no match for his frenzy, so she’d better plan for the worst. Above all, she couldn’t let this pull her back into his toxic orbit.
Tomorrow, emergency contraception would be her top priority. She couldn’t let this derail her escape. After tonight, only 20 days remained in her countdown to freedom.
She had endured it for five years, and 20 days would just fly by.
As her resistance faded, his movements slowed, and he murmured in her ear, “Obedient now? Should have done so earlier.”
She squeezed her eyes shut, tears cascading down her cheeks unchecked.
“Don’t cry,” he soothed. “I’ll be gentle. Just a quick sting. Here I come.”
His fingers grazed her cheek, then covered her eyes. She wondered why he would blindfold her. Perhaps so he could fully delude himself that she was Catherine.
The doorbell shattered the moment, but he ignored it.
