Chapter 272
Julie’s point of view
He turned to leave the bathroom, but the madness that took hold of me made me precede him with great speed.
I stood at the door, blocking the exit with my trembling, naked body, desperately trying to prevent him from escaping the confrontation. He looked at me with a sharpness that preceded a storm and said: "Get out of my way, Julie... don’t test my patience."
I said with desperate defiance, tears blinding my sight: "I won’t move... I won’t take a single step until you explain this transformation! What has gotten into you? And why are you causing me all this pain?"
He asked with an irritating coldness as he approached me: "And what am I doing, in your opinion?"
I said, gasps choking my throat: "You are destroying me... you are exploiting my weakness and my love for you to practice your authority... you are playing with my heart, Robert!"
In the blink of an eye, and without blinking, he grabbed my arm with an iron strength and shoved me away from the door with a violence I didn’t expect. I staggered through the air until my naked body collided with the metal food cart, causing a loud bang and a violent vibration to echo through the room. At that moment, I felt something break inside me a madness I had never known before took over my mind.
Unconsciously, I picked up a glass cup from the cart and threw it onto the floor with all my might. The cup shattered into hundreds of shards that scattered around my bare feet. I bent down with a lightning-fast movement and picked up a large, sharp piece of glass. I brought it close to the vein of my wrist, trembling entirely like a bird drenched in rain.
I looked into his dark eyes and said in a firm, decisive, and mad voice: "Listen to me well, Robert... I swear by the One who created me, if that cursed door is closed on me one more time, I will end my life here and now... I will kill myself and you will never see me again."
His eyes widened slightly and he said in a warning tone: "Julie... put the glass down... don’t act with this madness."
