Olivia’s POVDamien removed his hand and straightened. As he gaze down at me, his eyes showed… nothing. No emotion, not even disdain. It was as if he was entirely indifferent.Coldly, he said, “This is the price you pay for your recklessness.”I didn’t really remember the trip back to the castle. I think I was in a carriage at some point, on the floor, with Damien sitting above me on the seat.Then, at the castle, I was brought inside, cleaned and dressed back in my sheer pet clothes, and taken to the blanket at the foot of Damien’s bed.Damien barely glanced at me as he walked by. “You are my pet. You never should have been anything else.”I lowered my gaze, my heart so heavy.“Do not bother the slaves again,” he said.A strange command, but perhaps not so from his perspective. After all, I was the one who had stirred up the idea to escape. They had only joined me to protect me.Now, because of that impulsiveness, they were dead.It was a cruel twist of fate that I continued to live.
