KASMINE.

I searched his eyes for any form of understanding, but there was none. All I saw was a cold, unfeeling man. It felt like I was standing before a stranger... Someone who fed on control.

"Kester!" My voice cracked, raw with desperation, as I tried to twist out of his iron grip. It was useless. He didn't even flinch, his smirk widening as he watched my futile struggle. His calm, collected demeanor only made my panic worse.

"I'll do anything you want. I swear. Just let me go," I cried.

Tears rolled down my eyes.

He tilted his head, "Anything?" He asked so casually, and I nodded frantically, my mind

spinning.

"I'll never miss work again," I choked out, the words tumbling over one another in my desperation. "I'll never disobey you, Kester. I'll do your laundry. I'll cook for you... I'll do anything... anything. Please. Just don't do this to me."

Tears streaked my face, my chest heaving with sobs. The thought of my mother seeing me like this, of her finding out what was happening, shattered me. She would be devastated if she ever saw me with a man, let alone my stepbrother. It'll break her poor heart. She would never forgive me.

"Anything..." he murmured, his gaze a bit distant as if lost in his thoughts.

"Yes. Yes." I whispered.

"I noticed you've been locking your door a lot lately," he said, his tone casual, but

his eyes told a different story. They pinned me in place as his fingers traced a lazy path down my cheek, "I don't think you'd want to lock it tonight. Would you, Kasmine?"

My throat closed, my breath catching.

"I-" My voice faltered.

I didn't expect him to
