Chapter 130

• It broke my heart to lie to Nicholas especially by telling him I was in love with Henry. But I was afraid Nicholas wouldn't just let the matter be, he would ruin the decision I took for him. So the best way was to lie to him. So he would give up on me and not be right for us.
• On the days that ensured, Henry dedicated his time to making my life miserable. He exploited the term slave to the full capacity of it, I laboured until each time I lay on the bed, my body ached. I feared coming in contact with Henry, I locked my door each time I was in my room because he made it blatantly care that he wouldn't stop. Sometimes, when I'm bent over work that he managed to assign to me, I'll feel his disgusting gaze on me.
• To think it never ends. That one day I'll be married to this man and endure everything for the rest of my life. I chanted what I told myself when it got too difficult.
