He was watching me.
He was always watching me.
He’s not just an overprotective man. A possessive lover.
He’s my stalker.
A shaky breath escapes my lips.
I need to leave. I need to run.
I turn on weak legs, my heart pounding, my pulse roaring in my ears.
I don’t care that I’m naked. Don’t care that I have nowhere to go.
I just know one thing—I can’t be here when Viktor comes back.
And I sure as hell can’t let him catch me running.
Viktor
I feel it instantly.
The second I step inside my house, I know.
She’s gone.
I storm through the hallway, my breath ragged, muscles clenched.
The bed is empty.
The sheets, cold.
I yank open the closet.
Nothing.
The bathroom.
Nothing.
Then I see it—
The door to my control room.
Wide.
Fucking.
Open.
A roar tears from my throat.
I storm inside, eyes scanning the monitors, the desk, the shattered illusion of control.
The chair is knocked over. My precious photos—scattered, smudged with her touch.
The panties I stole from her, gone. She took them.
