Cilla

He’s watching me I know he is He has cameras everywhere Why wouldn’t he have one here? In this, the “special” roos And that’s what I a A possession

His

Fucking his

And today I fucked up

Today he’ll take it out of my skin

I shudder with the thought With the knowledge of what I know is co

I’ll fight him I wonder if he expects me to Wants me to, even All I know is I can’t submit to him I can’t let him break me

But I a Little by little

I wonder if that’s why he took me

This is a gaame

I hug my knees to myself This room is so cold, unlike the others

I pull the blanket up around me, as much for the cold as for protection It’s not like I can hidenow

My dress is torn and I’uess the heels could be used as a weapon As if I could soe to overpower him

I try to s but the lump in my throat makes it impossible I’m scared and I hate it I don’t want to admit it Not even to myself

Tears wet my eyes but before they have a chance to fall, I cover them with my hands and rub theets off on it

I did this I pushed hi have to

It’s when I’ myself that ridiculous pep talk that I hear his footfalls in the hallway Hear his voice,Hugo, his fucking henchman Like he needs one

Every hair on my body stands on end when he slides the key into the lock When he turns it And when he pushes the door open, it takes all I have not to crumple Not to cave

It takes all I have to stand and ready ainst this beast of a man
