CHAPTER THIRTEEN
???
My dear Anya, I have tried to restrain myself and show you kindness, but your stubbornness has pushed me over the edge. I allowed you one final goodbye with your pathetic excuse of a boyfriend, but he is nothing compared to the love and happiness I can provide for you. He is just another obstacle in my path, one that I will easily remove if it comes to that. That insignificant cat was merely a tool, a means to an end. But it fills me with twisted pleasure to see the fear in your eyes as you realize the depths of my capabilities. You will learn to love me, Anya, or suffer the consequences. For tonight, I will let you rest peacefully, but know that this is only the beginning. I will bide my time and wait for the perfect moment to claim you completely as mine. And when that day comes, we will not only share a bed but an entire lifetime together. I will plant my seed inside of you, making you the mother of my children and cementing our bond forever. Standing over your slumbering form now, you look so peaceful and strong. It only fuels my desire to possess you completely. As I gently caress your lips with my fingers, they feel soft and warm against my touch. Oh how I long for the day when those lips will willingly kiss me back. Anya, you are mine and no one will stand in the way of what rightfully belongs to me.
