I didn’t get to say goodbye to my half-blooded siblings.
And that was when the loneliness set in.
Amnesia wrapped my memories in forgetfulness far stronger than the blackouts of before.
I’d deliberately forgotten what my father did to those women so I didn’t pass on the curse to my sisters and brothers.
But now I deleted those siblings from my mind so I didn’t have to suffer heartbreak every time I remembered I’d once had a family, and now I had none—
Digging my fingers into my eyes, I highlighted every fucking word I’d written so far and deleted them. Every comma, paragraph, and memory. Hours upon hours’ worth of transcribing all gone.
Pointless.
Ridiculous.
Agonising.
I didn’t want to remember anymore.
I wanted peace.
The longer I stayed here with Ily trying to seduce me and the castle whispering I was sane instead of twisted, the more I sank deeper and deeper.
Every part of me was heavy.
Lethargy turned into quicksand, clinging to my limbs every time I tried to move, to think, to talk. I couldn’t remember the last time I’d spoken out loud. I’d let my fingers do all my speaking and my mind—
I’ve had enough.
Slamming the laptop closed, I swooped to my feet and stalked out of the library.
I was done with the past.
Done with everything.
I wanted out.
I needed to run before I lost my fucking mind.
Stalking up the stairs, I ignored the opulence surrounding me. My fingers almost dented the laptop as I took the steps two at a time and practically ran down the corridor.
Exploding into my chamber, Ily squeaked and leapt back from where she’d been rummaging in the wardrobe. Hugging a baggy beige jumper that seemed to be the only thing of substance Victor had ordered for her, she backed up with eyes wide. The sight of her clothes hanging with mine. The fact that we’d been living together for weeks. That I still wanted to hurt her even now…
Christ!
Throwing the laptop onto the bed, I bolted into the bathroom and slammed the door.
Grabbing the sink, I breathed hard.
The screams as my father molested his current woman.
The whippings, the bleedings, the rapes—
Panic latched around my throat.
My vision went hazy.
That’s inside me.
