Trapped In My Husband’s Golden Cage
When the room broke apart, Viktor headed to the kitchen, Tom went back to his laptop, Sarah disappeared down the hall with the photograph she thought nobody had noticed her looking at, I moved to the window.
I took out my phone.
Read the message again.
A location. A date, three days out. One sentence beneath both.
“If you want access to Clara, come alone.”
I stood at the window and looked at the street below and thought about everything Rael had shown me, told me, offered me across a cafe table, including the infrastructure, the thirty assets, the legitimacy angle and the thing I had signed.
Rael was not offering access to Clara out of generosity.
He was forcing the next move.
