To survive, I need to give them what they want--but giving in will ruin me.

I made a mistake.

I thought I could delay the inevitable. I thought if I was smart, I could put off getting pregnant, and buy myself time to find a way to escape.

I should have known they'd find out. I should have known there'd be consequences.

Slayer is happy to dole out punishments. Damien's quiet disappointment pierces me with guilt.

But Giulio's wrath? Giulio's wrath will ruin me.
