Chapter 93

• The very notion of ownership repulsed Scarlett to her core. It not only challenged her fundamental existence but also undermined her dignity as a human being. She'd grown up believing she was equal to any man, that her thoughts and feelings mattered, that she had the right to choose her own path in life.
• Her parents had raised her to be strong and independent, to never let anyone diminish her worth or treat her as less than human. The idea that this monster thought he could reduce her to property was an insult to everything she had been taught to value about herself.
• She wasn't some object to be won or claimed, no matter what this monster believed in his twisted, delusional head.
