Hearing the commotion, Maxime stormed over, kicking the toilet door in a fit of rage. His anger was unmistakable
as he bellowed.
“Sophie, enough! Stop trying so hard to get my attention. It’s useless. I’ll let you out when New Year’s Eve is over.
Be quiet!”
I wanted to scream for help, but the voice that came out was dry and hoarse.

The blood beneath me kept pouring out and despair spread through my heart.
To punish me, Maxime pulled Lily against the toilet door, using her to taunt me.
