I’ll break her.
I’ll make her life as miserable as possible.
Chapter 5
ITAKE A DEEP BREATHto relax as I climb to my feet, but it’s impossible to let go of my fury.
Wiggling my wrists, I try to get the damn tie off. The pain almost feels good.
I can’t believe I failed.
Everything was so damn perfect. I was inches away from burying my knife into Victor’s throat.
But he was too fast, and I was too slow.

It seems like I can never do things fast enough.

After some struggling, I manage to free my wrists.
My skin is red as I rub it, my fingers tingling.
I stare at Victor’s tie in disgust. Maybe I can use it to strangle him, but he’s too strong.
I already got a taste of his muscular arms around me, and I know I can’t easily defeat him.
As I look around the spacious room, I search for something that I could use.
It’s a nice room, with a king-sized bed and a huge closet. I see a door that leads to a private bathroom too.
There’s no TV, or any books, or a phone.
No weapons either, which isn’t a surprise.
