Chapter Sixteen:
Julie's Point of View
I ran down that long hallway which, for some reason, refused to end.
I was running from Robert, from his room, from myself, and from my fears that had suddenly awakened to gnaw at my chest.
My feet were moving with a frantic speed, yet I felt as though I were still standing there, in the middle of his room, under the influence of the shock of his disgusting words that had planted terror in my depths.
Those words... how did he dare say them? I felt as though I were standing completely naked before him—not the nakedness of the body that I feared before the doctor, but the nakedness of the soul.
He reached out to the place I try hardest to forget and toyed with it with lethal coldness; he constantly reminds me that he bought me from my father to become a whore he rents out to men in his disgusting club.
My body collided with Olivia, who was standing in the hallway.
