**Zavia** I have been trapped in this damn room for three days straight. Zeke canceled our meeting to discuss the marriage between us and that was the best news I have received since coming to this dreadful place. His castle was breathtaking but had a shadowing cloud placed overhead. Today he was supposed to be releasing my brother. I had no idea the kind of shape he was in, or if he was healthy or damaged beyond repair. Despite my many worries, I somehow knew he would be okay. It saddened me not being able to say goodbye to him in the way I desperately needed to, but I was fine with it if he was safe from this place. Safe from Zeke. The loneliness within the room I was trapped
