Lock Me Up and Leave Me to Die
Before I was released, they had warned me to stay quiet and hit me with a chair.
Noticing the blood dripping onto the car seat, I panicked. I bent down and wiped the seat with my sleeve.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Morris. I didn't mean to dirty your seat. I'll clean it up right away."
Seeing me desperately wipe the seat, he frowned. "Grace, how did you become like this?"
I forced a smile.
He was the one who had locked me in the basement and subjected me to cruel, inhumane treatment. I was forced to become obedient and submissive, stripped of all the illusions I once held about him. And then he questioned why I became like this.
