Selene's POV
After Victor walked away, I just stood there, frozen in the middle of the room, his scent still lingering on my skin like a brand I couldn’t wash off. My throat tightened, but I refused to cry. Not for him.
I made my way to the bathroom in silence, dragging my feet like my soul had become too heavy to carry. As I turned on the shower handle, warm water gushed out, filling the room with steam that quickly fogged the mirror. I stepped in before it even filled halfway and let the heat swallow me.
My body relaxed into the water, but my mind wouldn’t stop spinning.
How did I let it happen… again?
I promised myself I would never let Victor have his way with me again. But the moment he grabbed me, kissed me… it was like my brain shut off and my body took over.
That wasn’t love
