37. Epilogue

You betrayed me, Paige.

It’s funny how those who have power, never notice those who don’t. Put on a uniform - like a server’s uniform - and you’re invisible. I was even invisible to you, but then I guess you were too busy to notice me tonight, weren’t you Paige? Crawling and whoring for your rich boys, like all the other sluts.

You betrayed me, Paige. After everything I have done for you, and now you give me no choice. You have brought this on yourself.

I am going to teach you a lesson, Paige. A lesson about surrender and control. About who truly owns you. You will learn to fear me, Paige. You will learn to crave my touch even as it brings you pain. I will become your entire world, every thought and dream filled with me. I will become your nightmare and your salvation.

And then, when all is said and done, when I have broken you down to nothing but a whimpering mess begging for release, I will carve my name into your perfect skin, claiming you for all eternity.

Because at the end of the day, Paige, you belong to me. Not him. Not them.

Only me.
