My monster.

And I see no actual way out.

But what I know is that the only escape I can see so far his death.

And I’ve contemplated it many times. Those nights where I just lie there and he takes what he wants from me.

The only thing that keeps me alive is Drago’s promise.

He witnessed the after effects of what my husband does to me behind closed doors.

He knows who they are.

That’s how he became my handler. But how long can I survive in this nightmare?

Fuck. Vlad.

Fuck. This.

I will find a way out, even if I have to burn the estate to the ground and take those sick bastards out. This is how I survive. Fueled on the thought of revenge.

The world’s a better place without them.

Slow, loud claps from behind me make me jump. Clenching my fists, I spin to face whoever it may be.

I know exactly who it is, just by the aftershave.

And the way my heart is beating.

As our eyes lock, that smirk appears on his beautiful face.

“She could give you a run for your money, brother.”

I don’t even notice the tatted beast behind him. The one with him last night.

Pulling out my hair from the ponytail, I shake it out, sizing up the guy.

Yeah, it would be a challenge. He has that dangerous look in his eyes. Unhinged.

“Careful of your dick, though. She likes to aim for that first.”

He winks at me and the guy’s face screws up. But then amusement grows on his face as he looks between us.

I sidestep, feeling the ground shift beneath my feet as I move out of the way.

“All yours. I got shit to do, and I don’t fancy embarrassing you again, Jimmy.”

I wink at him as I scoot past him.

His fingers close around my wrist, a jolt shooting up my arm, and I gasp, stopping abruptly.

Oddly, his touch doesn’t make me angry. It kind of feels safe. The grunts of Jimmy's brother beating the shit out of the bag fills the room, and Jimmy leans in. Shivers run down my spine as I slowly turn to face him.

Those damn eyes steal the sense from my brain again.

“If you want to fight me, all you gotta do is ask. I won’t aim for your dick this time.”

His deep chuckle makes my pussy clench. I’ve been taught never to submit.
