NORMANI. I didn't know what the mirror entailed or what he was going to use it to do. I saw our reflection in it and I was looking at myself. My body. I was beautiful. My hair was in wavy strands, cascading down my shoulders and framing my face just right. Shawn stood behind me, tall and mighty. His shoulders were broad, his head towering over mine. He stared at me, his gaze slow and deliberate on my skin. “Do you know what it stands for?” He asked and I shook my head. My nipples were hard and strong now, staring back at my naked body and begging to be touched by Shawn. I wondered when he was going to touch me. “A reflector. When you are in front of a mirror, you cannot hide.” He wasn't lying. A mirror was an expressor, it expresses you exactly the way you are. “I want you to see what you become when you are with me.” His voice was like quiet cold air that engulfed me silently. I watched his darkened gaze from the mirror, shivering down my spine. He was looking at me. The n

NORMANI. 075I couldn’t help but smile as I slipped into the cab.The memory of Shawn’s ridiculous act replayed in my head; him sniffing my pants like a total weirdo. It was stupid, silly, and yet somehow… adorable. I chuckled softly, shaking my head. “That guy is weird,” I muttered under my breath.And just then, my own conscience mocked me.But you love his weirdness.I froze for a moment, my fingers curling around the hem of my bag as warmth crept up my chest. Damn it, my conscience was right. I did love it, his weirdness, his unpredictability, the way he made my guarded world crumble without even trying.And that was the problem.Because every day I found myself sinking deeper into him, addicted to his presence, to his voice, to the way his gaze seemed to undress every wall I built. He had a way of penetrating every thick coating around me and that was dangerous. And I knew it was wrong. I knew he was dangerous, for my mind, for my heart, for everything I had promised myself I’d

Today made it the third day since I had been kidnapped, and I still hadn’t found any clue on how to escape. I had searched every corner of that room, crack, and small detail, but nothing had given me a way out. I thought it was time to make whoever was behind this show show their face.I knew pretending like I was dying wouldn’t work; they probably wanted me dead anyway. So instead, I decided to pretend like I was trying to escape. Maybe that would make them come out. I picked up the only thing I could find an old metal piece from the broken chair and started hitting it against the wall, carving out a small hole.I made sure I did it in a way that the cameras or whatever system they were using to monitor me could see. I wanted them to notice me. From the way that room was built, I could already tell that even if I dug deep, it wouldn’t lead anywhere. The walls were thick, and there was probably another barrier behind them. Still, I continued.I had been digging for over an hour, and n

NORMANIFinally, the day came when they decided to take me out to be killed. I could see it in their faces that they meant it this time. There was nothing else I could do. No tricks, no strength left in me. For a moment, I just stood there thinking, so this is how it ends. I couldn’t even save myself, and that alone made me so angry.I had sent that message through the wristwatch yesterday, hoping Shawn would see it and decode the numbers. But since then, there had been nothing. No signal, no sound, no one had come for me. The silence was almost worse than death. I kept glancing around, trying to find a way, any way, to escape, but everything looked the same. Thick walls. Guarded doors. Nowhere to run.I can’t die like this, I told myself. Not here. Not this way.When two of the men came to drag me out, I decided I wouldn’t go quietly. If I was going to die, then I would go down fighting, or at least trying to confuse them. Maybe I could make them angry enough to slip up again.As the

NORMANI. He stretched the cuffs to me, and I raised my eyes at him wondering what he meant then he nudge me to collect it from him which I did. I was surprised when he stretched both of his hands to me like a man who had committed crime and was ready to give himself to the authorities. I raised my head, my face morphed into confusion. What was he doing? I wondered. Did he want me to bind his hands? “You are in control today,” he said. I was in control? Excitement burst through me for no reasons. I had never thought that I could be so excited over something so trivial. I was in control. Excitement over something dirty. “You are giving me control?”I asked just to be sure that we were on the same page. He shifted his gaze to his wrist confirming it. Excitement morphed my face and I sprang into action instantly. I secured the cuff on his wrist, binding him. He watched me with hungry eyes, the kind that says you are mine alone. I held him and led him to the bed and he followed. M
