I was exhausted.
I’d barely been sleeping. My father just let me out of my cage the morning of the party. I spent the past three days in there. The last thing I could do was fall asleep to the sounds of people being tortured. Every time I did, I’d wake up to the most horrifying screams, or there’d be a rat crawling over my head since I slept on a disgusting blanket on a concrete floor that smelled like shit.
The thought alone made my skin shiver, and I shuddered hard.
Scared.
Confused.
Lost in hell.

For everyone.
Including me.
“You have some brass balls on you, Jameson. What exactly do you think you’re doing with Sloan?”
“Says the man who let me leave with her.”
“I had no other choice.”
“We have that in common.”
“You think you’re good enough for her?”
