My eyes darted around the place, looking for anything that could be of help. Nothing. Except the phone on the floor.

Without thinking, I lunged for it, but yet again, Grayson was faster. His hand came around my throat as he pulled me to himself.

"Son of a bitch! Let me go! Let me—hah!"

The sting of a needle piercing my skin stole the air from my lungs before the haze took over.

Grayson dropped me then and I fell on all fours with a thud that sounded miles away.

No, no, no.

I tried to grab for something—anything—but my fingers didn't listen. My muscles felt like wet cloth, heavy and uncoordinated.

The room seemed to fold in slow, terrible waves, like everything was being packed away one corner at a time.

I didn't know when the asshole held me. Somehow, I was on the bed.

"No... Pl...ease."

I couldn't form words.

Grayson's face hovered above mine, blurry and monstrous. "Don't worry, Zerali. I'll be gentle, I promise."

  • You Are Mine, Little Sister   107

    I blinked at the floor before sliding my eyes shut. I prayed for this moment to glitch into a dream. I swore I'd start attending church like a nun if it meant waking up."I—" my throat hurt from the dry gulp I took. "I was at Veronica's."He nodded once, pulling the cigar from his lips. "You've been staying at her place for the past five days?"I took another nervous gulp as I answered with a nod."So, you did quit your job."God, I was doomed."Look, I'm—I'm sorry. I swear I was going to tell you this weekend. I just..." Deep breaths, Rali. Deep breaths.Shit. My fingers were shaking.I folded my arms."I had to quit. The place had become too toxic for my liking. You know, it's always a competition with the other staff. I've been working on this decision for a while now and decided this was the best time to move on to something better.""Funny," he laughed. "Benita mentioned you were loved by everyone. Said the whole office was stunned when you showed up to resign."I was so close—so

    Veronica burst into the kitchen. Her eyes scanned the place and budged when they locked on me."Holy hell! Rali please don't tell me you've been dicing the same onion for three hours!"I deadpanned. "Spare me, Nica. It hasn't been that long. Besides, this shit is harder than it looks.""Yeah. For someone like you, I'm damn sure it feels like you're cutting a rock. Remind me to never let you near rice. It'll be ready next year."I rolled my eyes. Whatever.As expected, she floated over to her prince charming, wrapped her arms around him, and kissed him like they were the leads of a romcom – one with a slightly higher adult rating."I told you you didn't have to worry about the juice, babe," she purred."And I told you not to worry about me not worrying." He spanked her ass.Wow. There wasn't a single trace of the guy who'd just told me an emotional story.What was I saying? He'd narrated the story like it was an episode from a childhood cartoon, not something traumatic.I shook my head

    RALII sliced through the onion like I was handling a glass heart — slow and careful.Don't get me wrong, I wasn't the chef here. That apron still belonged to Veronica. I was just her mildly terrified sous-chef, doing what I could without setting anything on fire.She assigned me to dicing duties, claiming she couldn't chop and cook for me at the same time. Mean girl.This was day four of pretending to be employed. So far, Void hadn't sniffed out a thing. The plan was to keep this charade rolling till weekend, then stage a believable exit. The story would be Fable & Fabric had become a toxic mess and I needed 'space' to 'find myself.'At least this would be more believable than abruptly quitting the job in one day.Everything would play out fine.The scent of Oud Wood slipped into the kitchen before he did. My nose caught it first, and then came Blayne, waltzing in with that unbothered confidence only tall, good-looking men with perfect jawlines and zero shame could pull off.

    RALI"If the goal was to starve me here, you shouldn't have forced me to move in with you," I groaned, plonking myself on the edge of the bed.Void didn't look up. Leaning against the edge of his desk, thumbs dancing over his phone screen, he scoffed, "Did you say force? I gave you options, Green. You're here because you chose to be.""Please," I rolled my eyes so hard I must've strained something. "Stop acting like you wouldn't have found another way to just drag me here."He finally looked up, flashing an arrogant smirk. "Glad you learning."My stomach gave a pitiful growl that sounded like a dying animal. Meanwhile, Void was too engrossed in his screen. What had him so invested while there was a world war taking place in my belly?"Look, I'm really really hungry. Since morning, I've had nothing but two miserable crackers and half a banana I found sulking in the fridge. You won't even let me order anything!"I honestly didn't know what his problem was. We were out of frozen food

    "Grayson," Veronica took over. "If it's protocols you're begging for, I promise you, you don't want that door opened. If we follow the rules, you'll be making your statements from a bench behind bars."He shrugged, nonchalantly. "Then I suppose you'll need something stronger than empty threats. Solid evidence. Witnesses, maybe?"My jaw dropped. No. No way.The son of a bitch!"If I ever decide to see you rot for what you did, I'll crawl through hell and drag you there myself. So don't test how far I'll go." My voice thundered louder than I expected, but I didn't regret it."I'm done here. This is the last time I'll ever breathe the recycled air of this goddamn building. And if you think you've got the balls to sue me for breach of contract, go ahead. Let's see who wins."The smug light in his eyes dimmed.I turned for the door, my pulse drumming like war."You won't be paid for last month, Zerali."I stopped. A dry laugh scraped from my throat as I turned to him slowly.He was really

    RALIThe engine rumbled to a stop, slipping into place between the maze of parked cars.My head leaned against the headrest, eyes slipping shut as I pulled in a breath meant to steady me. It didn't."We can do this, Rali." Veronica's hand found my thigh. "You won't be alone for a single second. I promise."Looking out the window, My eyes landed on the bold signage crowning the tall structure: Fable and Fabric.My stomach twisted.So this would be the last time I'd see it like this.Moments later, we were stepping through the glass doors into the busy reception. The air inside smelled of fresh polish and artificial lemon, exactly the same as always.A few of the staff that knew me appeared surprised as the knit tank top and wide-leg beige slacks didn't look work-ready.I avoided their eyes, shrinking into myself as we moved toward the elevator.But the real trial came on my floor.The moment the elevator opened, I was swallowed by friendly faces and the buzz of confused voices."Ra
