My mother was a servant in Damien Grant's household. Since childhood, I followed him around, cleaning up his messes.
I endured his temperamental moods, catered to his every whim, never daring to speak out.
When I went to college, I moved out of the Grant estate, found a new boyfriend, and thought I had finally escaped him. But Damien lost his mind.
He dragged me back, confined me in his home, forced me to drop out, and made me his possession.
Julius, my boyfriend, became an unwitting victim of Damien's humiliation.
I'll never forget the day Julius burst into the private room to take me away. Damien gave him a dismissive glance, smiling as he poured red wine onto the tip of his polished shoe:
"Kneel. Lick it clean, and I'll let you take her."
Pinned by Damien, I could only watch as Julius knelt, licking the wine from his shoes like a dog.
Laughter filled the room.
Damien stepped on his hand, flicking ash onto his head.
"You want to take her? Dream on."
"My property—someone like you could never touch it."
...
Through the hazy smoke, I saw the light dim in Julius's eyes.
The proud young man's straight back bent under the weight of privilege. His beautiful eyes filled with anguish and despair.
Julius left and never returned.
