Warm blood dripped onto my eyelid, sliding down to the corner of my eye like a grotesque tear.

My hand trembled as I realized what had just happened. Logan’s hand cupped the back of my head, his grip firm and cold.

His voice, low and menacing, sounded right next to my ear. “Elaine, listen carefully. You are mine.”

Then, just as suddenly, his weight disappeared. I scrambled to stand, my legs trembling so much that I had to grip the table behind me for support.

When I opened my eyes, I saw Logan holding his bleeding head, striding out of the office without so much as a glance back at me.

“Mr. Mercer, you’re bleeding!” I heard someone shout from the hallway.

“Shut up!” Logan roared, his voice full of irritation, as his footsteps faded down the corridor.

I leaned back against the table, closing my eyes in exhaustion. After a moment, I opened them again, unwilling to let anyone see me in my current disheveled state.

I staggered into Logan’s private restroom and stared at myself in the mirror. The corner of my eye was stained with his blood, streaking down as if I had cried blood.

My hand shook as I grabbed a wet wipe and cleaned myself up. Once I looked presentable again, I left the office without a word.

As I drove home, my phone rang. It was Nora.

“Elaine, I just saw Logan!” she exclaimed. “His head was bleeding!”

“Did you see him at a hospital?” I asked, my voice low.

“Yes,
