The Repayment
Now, it just made me freeze up.
It had been five years.
Five years of loving him while being used and getting hurt by him.
Adam left early the next morning.
I made myself get up, even though my wounds screamed at me to stop.
I started packing my bags. He had given me so many gifts—fancy fur clothes, rare moonstones, all sorts of bones. I was not taking any of it.
They would only remind me of the lies.
I dragged my suitcase to the study. It hit the bookshelf, and a heavy book toppled out, revealing a tiny crack behind it. Frowning, I reached out and gave it a push—only to discover it was a hidden door.
