Chapter 20

  • I can bury whatever feelings I thought I was beginning to have, bury them deep underneath the shame I feel for letting Poppy talk me into doing something so stupid in the first place. I will follow his rules, attend his events, speak when spoken to; hell I'll even eat food off the list he provides me. I won't let him beat me, I will walk out the other side of this experience and I will never speak of it ever again. It will be one of the many blips of my life that will pass me by as I get older, perhaps a funny anecdote to tell my adult children in my nursing home. They'll probably call me an idiot for letting a guy with that much money get away, but I'll know that I'm better off actually finding love, than having to pay for it.
  • "Thank you, Ambrose," I say to Ambrose as I climb out of the car, him having opened my door after pulling up in front of my building. I hear him tell me to have a good rest of the day so I turn my head and give him a wave before I unlock the door to the lobby, heading towards the stairwell and beginning the climb up to my apartment.
  • It's only when I unlock the door and enter my apartment do I remember just how much has happened to me today, Rhodes has given me a lot of money and it's all just sitting there waiting to be used. I'll have to be smart about it if I'm going to save up enough to survive on my own once I'm cut off, but that doesn't mean that I can't have a little bit of fun along the way. I place my bag down onto the kitchen counter and take out my phone, calling Poppy.
