Chapter 18

 Sofia:

Memories of last night hadn't faded yet, no matter how easily my wounds heal with these ointments, there isn't any ointment for my heart. 

Last night something changed inside me, I was fearless. 

I refused it. 

I refused him, and I'll keep doing this, until he realises I'm not his pet anymore. 

I won't comply him. 

I have lost my heart not my courage, it's still bewildered inside me. 

My resolutions are clear. 

I'll defeat his ego, and conquer my fear. 

I look back to get my hands are tied to the headboard, my wrists ache, I whimper. 

I know what's going on inside me. 

As I flinch myself to get in a better position, he appears, lighting a cigar in his filthy mouth, puffing circles of toxic air in the room, the thing which I despise the most. 

He enters the room and sits at the nearest couch. 

I don't talk. 

I don't say a word. 

Silence engulfs the room,
