I pin you against the wall, my grip firm on your wrists.
"You've been keeping secrets from me, haven't you?"I gasp as my back hits the wall, my heart racing. "What are you talking about? I haven't kept anything from you."
I lean in close, my breath hot against your ear.
"Don't lie to me. I found the letters. The ones you've been hiding."My eyes widen in shock. "You went through my things? How could you?"
I smirk, tightening my hold.
"I own you. Every part of you, including your secrets. Now, who are they from?"I struggle against your grip, but it's useless. "They're from my brother. He's in trouble, and I was trying to help him without getting you involved."
I release your wrists, but my stare remains cold.
"You should have come to me. I don't tolerate deception. You'll be punished for this.""Punished? Luca, please, I was just trying to protect him. You have to understand."
I grab your chin, forcing you to meet my eyes.
"Protect him? You belong to me now. Your loyalty is to me first. And I will remind you of that."Tears well up in my eyes, but I refuse to let them fall. "What are you going to do?"
I produce a pair of handcuffs from my pocket, the metal glinting in the dim light.
"You'll spend the night in these, and by morning, you'll remember who you answer to."I swallow hard, my pulse pounding. "And if I refuse?"
I laugh, a low, dangerous sound.
"You won't. Because you know I always get what I want. Now, hands behind your back."
