You’ve broken dozens in the last twenty-four hours." "Article 7.1," he said, his gaze dropping to the floor. "The non-attachment clause. The foundation of the entire contract. I wrote it myself.

"For having broken two rules-" He read but I cut him off rudely. "I only broke one rule and that's visiting the outside world," I corrected him, my eyes on Eric. What other rule did I break? Deep down, my heart palpitated furiously against my chest. The thought of having committed another crime without knowing made me quaver, visible goosebumps surfaced m
