All Chapters of Worship Me, Duncan: Chapter 31 - Chapter 37

CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO— Duncan —It’s one thing to feel rage.It’s another thing to do something with it.I’d felt it before—white-hot, gut-twisting fury, the kind that burned you from the inside. But this time, it didn’t burn.It froze.Solid.Clean.The anger crystallized into something sharper.Something useful.---Marco delivered within forty-eight hours.He always did.The man was a ghost—a phantom with access to things that didn’t appear on paper, didn’t live in the cloud, didn’t show up on credit statements or GPS trackers. Just movement, patterns, whispers, secrets.And now… I had it all.---The file arrived encrypted and timed to self-delete.I opened it with hands that didn’t shake.Not anymore.I was past trembling.Past breaking.Now I was building something.Something darker.Something inevitable.---Photos.Lucas and Aphrodite.Dinner. Walking. A coffee shop. A private art gallery she once took me to.In every picture, she looked… poised. Distant. Sometimes smiling.Neve

There was nothing soft between us. No music, no murmurs, no subtle glances.Just the air thick with things we couldn’t say.Or rather—he wouldn’t let me say.---He hadn’t looked at me since I slid into the dress he chose—black silk, no bra, the neckline plunging and the hem daring. I’d stood in front of the mirror and stared at myself, wondering when I started looking like a beautiful hostage.The answer was easy.When I went back to him.---The venue loomed above us—a rooftop event packed with Manhattan’s elite.
