Ruining Vanessa

To survive, I need to give them what they want–but giving in will ruin me.
I made a mistake.
I thought I could delay the inevitable. I thought if I was smart, I could put off getting pregnant, and buy myself time to find a way to escape.
I should have known they’d find out. I should have known there’d be consequences.
Slayer is happy to dole out punishments. Damien’s quiet disappointment pierces me with guilt.
But Giulio’s wrath? Giulio’s wrath will ruin me.
