Scarlett POV
He left with a triumphant smile, which only tightened the knot of fear twisting inside me.
I should feel relieved—there was now a chance Mr. Grey might come for me—but I didn't want to be saved.
Not by him.
If Mr. Grey saves me, it would only be to punish me for disobeying him, and God knows what "punishment" he has planned.
What if he decides to pull off every strand of my hair and watch me scream in pain?
What if…
Gosh! What was I thinking going against him?
How did I even forget the inhuman consequences that always follow?
My body shook visibly. I felt fear in my bones.
I buried my face in my palms as tears pooled between my fingers.
Why can't I just be happy for one full day? Just one?
Why does disaster always find me?
I cried until my eyes throbbed and my head pounded.
The bodyguards began dragging Eva away, she screamed my name, I could tell she was afraid and in so much pain.
