Chapter Seventy Three

Dinners… Parties…. events.

Two weeks pass by and I am completely numb. I might be alive but not exactly living; everything seems to move in a blur. I do as Thane says, not once going against him; my mother is worried, but I didn’t know how to explain to her that her little girl had been so ready to leave her all on her own. The equipment I destroyed had been replaced that very day. Thane never brought it up, but it would always remain an unanswered question.

Why? Why did I think taking my own life would solve anything? I still couldn’t give an answer to that because at that moment it felt so right, but when I was finally calm, reflecting on it, I knew it had been so wrong.

“Riley?” he calls, finally noticing that I wasn’t following at all.

“Yes Thane?”

“What’s wrong with you?” he asks.

“I’m sorry, I’ll try…”

“You don’t have to be sorry for anything; you did nothing wrong,” he says sounding slightly irrigated, and I am about to apologize again, but his stern look cuts me off. “If you are missing/ Axel’s company, then I could have him here”

“No, is not that.”

“Then what is it?”

“I thought this was what you wanted. I thought you wanted a little submissive, Luna. I want to be just that.”
