He handed it to her. “The Art of War.” “Elara,” he said, voice calm, “there are rules to this kind of war. And the first is understanding that most battles are won before they’re ever fought.” She took the book, her fingers tracing the faded cover. “Then I better start reading.” That night, as she sat curled up in the corner of her new room, flipping through chapters of Sun Tzu, she didn’t feel like a victim anymore.

What a joke! His designer suit concealed a purebred predator, for he was a highly aggressive and clever player who took advantage of every tactical opportunity to Attack. A concept from Sun Tzu’s The Art of war flashed in my mind-the opportunity of defeating the enemy lay within the enemy himself…discovering my weaknesses and finding my vulnerabilities was made easy by my enthusiasm to satisfy him. He had never really talked to me, I thought numbly. We never had serious discussions. Not from him. It was always me- ranting, sobbing, pouring my heart out. I had been like a pretty little doll to him, an entertaining novelty he had picked up and decided to play ma
