Failed Escape
"One month, that's all. If after that you still want to leave, I'll respect your decision."
I stared at him for a long, long moment.
From the moment he found me to now, dragging me back, I knew just how much power he had, and that there was simply no escaping.
"Fine," I whispered, "what about Vivian?"
His expression remained calm.
"She's been taken to a hotel. Once she recovers, she can go back. I won't have any more contact with her."
I didn't say another word.
My escape had ended in utter defeat.
