He curses under his breath and throws the towel he had on his head on the floor, "Let's see, then, let me recap. Miriam got pregnant, fled back home to America so I wouldn't find out, and two years later she overdosed on coke.... Wow, what a mess. And who did you stay with?

And yet the stranger who finds her in the stacks doesn’t follow her rules. He rewrites them, one by one, until she can’t tell where the boundaries end and the desire begins.

"You will soon find out, just trust me, okay?" he muttered softly, and like the fool I was, I studied his lips move and listened to his charming voice that caused my heart to go crazy. I quickly averted my gaze and nodded. I have no choice anyway. "Looks can deceive," my subconscious said. "I know, but I have no choice," I thought. "There is always a choice, you could have screamed." I closed my eyes, putting my head back. If even I did scream, no one would save me. I was, after all, a nobody.

Sera’s P.O.V I divorced Mark. The moment I received the divorce certificate, I let out a long sigh of relief. Mark looked a little dazed as if he wanted to say something to me, but I ignored him and brushed past without a word. At that moment, I was free. Free from following his orders. Free from rushing home every evening to prepare his favorite dinner. I once pretended to live a happy life, but maintaining that happiness was solely my effort—an effort he took for granted. He never learned to cherish it.

" I went down and we said bye to them. Ryan texted me Goodbye. I thought he won't be back and I was right. He didn't show up. I was tired and I slept. The next morning I was enjoying my breakfast when Ryan called. He was asking to get ready. His mom wanted to buy some jewelry for me and wanted me to be with her too. I got ready and they were there to pick me up in an hour. I went shopping. We got free late in the evening and he dropped me home and went away.

Pulled myself over. Then I climbed down as fast as I could without falling, my hands shaking on the cold metal. When my feet hit the sidewalk, I ran. I ran until I was blocks away, until my lungs burned, until I was sure no one had followed me. Then I walked. Just walked through the city with no destination in mind, breathing in the freedom. But freedom didn’t last long. By midnight, I was standing outside a hotel…nothing fancy, just somewhere I could get a room and figure out my next move.

So I left consequences behind like broken furniture. Now the regret crawls out of the floorboards to remind me of my miscalculation. I press the photograph face down and think: I made her into what she is. That thought is not softness. It’s an ignition. If I cannot have her contrition, I will have her fear. If I cannot reclaim what was mine—her obedience, her submission —then I will make sure she cannot stand in my way. Midnight is a different kind of honest. It allows the plans that daylight would call obscene to feel like necessities. I sit there and let the city breathe, a list forming in my head like a ledger of what must be undone.
