Chapter 13 Exposing the Truth

• Fatten me up, only to destroy my confidence, make me question my worth, force me to depend on you, and treat me like a servant. What a master manipulator. As I recalled everything, my eyes began to sting with unshed tears.
• Larry grew visibly nervous. He’d always seen me as resilient and composed, someone who rarely showed vulnerability. Seeing me appear fragile, he softened and stepped closer, pulling me into an embrace as he gently tried to console me.
