CHAPTER 58

　　I was discharged over the weekend. Lenard sent his men to get me, and I reflected on Kaiser’s words during the silent car journey.

　　“We can torture her further. You just need to know you’re worth more than them. And how to execute your plan right.”

　　Would he say the same about his wife? I watched the man guarding beside me flip his newspaper. There was an article about Kaiser Klef and Erica Gao. On the outside, they looked like any happy couple. But Kaiser hadn’t been going home for weeks now, and Erica probably was sick somewhere.

　　I hoped that she was being kept at some mental institution because she deserved it. Not that I was any happier doing what I did. Lenard had been nice to me while I was in hospital but it didn’t change the fact I was not going to be his wife. I was his possession and sex slave. A lover was just a fancy word considering it was with someone who raped and broke me. I could never bring myself to be a lover of that monster.
