Isat with my back against the wall, my heart hammering against my chest, and I couldn’t catch my breath. Sin was outside. He had found out where I lived, but that would be simple for him. Follow the breadcrumbs, leading right back to me. Stalk me straight down to the letter and there I’d be. Because I was going to marry his investor.
Damn it, Sebastian.
“Pull yourself together, Liv,” I said out loud as I exhaled a deep breath and inhaled it back in. I repeated the relaxation technique. I had to gain back my control.
Sin Cruz stole my confidence from me, and I wouldn’t let him continue. I was the type of person who sat with a bag of popcorn and enjoyed a horror flick on the big screen. I didn’t sit there terrified, with a man’s arm around me as I watched. The scare tacticsdidn’t bother me. I loved the excitement of the chase, the loud music, and the excessive gore. Scary movies were a comfort, not a fear.
I wouldn’t sit here now and let this shithead take a part of me away. I had to treat this as if I was in a horror film, with me as the lead actress. A woman who always beat her greatest fears. One example was Jamie Lee Curtis, who portrayed Laurie Strode in the classic Halloween franchise. Except my nightmare had a face and didn’t hide behind a mask.
I gained the courage and crawled over to grab my cell phone but resumed my position behind the wall. My power slowly came back, and I knew I had to play smarter. Sin appeared to get off on my reactions, but if he couldn’t see me, maybe he’d lose interest and find someone else to creep on.
My eyes peered down at the screen with my fingers ready to swipe, but I hated having to play his sick little game. Ten minutes had ticked by since he last heard from me, and I wondered if his patience had grown thin. I’d love to make the fucker wait just a little while longer, but I had no idea what he’d do. I’d better get this over with.
My finger swiped up, revealing one sentence, “I’m going to have to do something about your pretty little mouth, Liv.”
And then another, “I told you not to talk dirty.”
I remembered there was a third sound, and I dreaded opening the rest of the inbox to see what else he had sent. There were no more messages except one. There must be an image or video. Maybe Sin was the kind of freak who enjoyed sending a dick picture. I’d imagine he enjoyed the sight of his cock, and his ego was probably bigger than his dick. A teeny, tiny pencil dick where he had to adjust the angle of the selfie to enhance his small size.
Boohoo for Mr. Cruz.
It doesn’t matter what he had sent because I still had to look at the notification in question. Because Sin was out there, and he was waiting. He knew the one secret I kept that would destroy everything.
“Fuck…” I muttered under my breath and opened his last message.
A video of me on repeat. The repetitive loop of a man I didn’t even know eating out my pussy like a man starved, who had his last meal before execution. Except I was the one who faced a lethal injection. But the person holding the drug to ruin my life was the devil himself.
I stopped the video with my mouth agape as I groaned at a god who clearly didn’t exist because he put me right on the path to a looney bin. My phantom had captured a video while he watched me last night and I let him. The biggest fucking mistake of my life. I knewhe was there. I felt his eyes on me, and I still let him do this to me.
Sin would use this video as blackmail against me. He’d hold this over my head as cold, hard proof of my infidelity. He had witnessed with his own eyes that my upcoming marriage was a complete fraud.
Shit. I had to do the one thing I didn’t want to, but Sin had forced my hand. I had to obey him.
Me:
Okay. You got my attention.
Unknown:
Good. Took you long enough to see things my way. Why the change of heart?
Fuck this fucker. Sin knew exactly how to get on my nerves and my fingers typed with a tremble of anxiety or anger. Which one, I wasn’t sure.
Me:
It’s not like you gave me much of a choice.
I bit my tongue. Literally. The taste of a pinch of blood in my mouth.
Unknown:
Good. You’re learning. Now, stand up and let me see you.
Damn him. I didn’t want to do as he instructed, and I hated the thought of his eyes onme when I couldn’t even see him. But playing I spy with my little eye might be a good enough distraction from my undesirable fate.
I gained the willpower and stood up, taking a deep breath before I stepped forward. My world became bright and vulnerable. The openness of the window I once used to admire as I’d gaze out at the busy city street. But the view had turned into one I loathed in a matter of seconds.
Because Sin could see me.
