“Laura?”
“I’m not…feeling…” Her legs buckled, and I surged forward, not able to catch her in time for her body to go limp. Blood raced towards her shoulders even more, and I lifted her, unfastening the cuffs. The cuts in her wrists were deep. Too deep for me to bandage up. She was losing a lot of blood, and the fact that I scrambled for my phone, fumbling with trying to dial for help was enough to bring complete clarity.
Another crossroads. Another fork in my fabricated fable. This could be the beginning of the end…or the end of a new beginning. Could I go through with what I bought my slave for? Did I end this for good? The timing was perfect,but so was she. It was life or death, and I wasn’t sure I was ready to make that decision.

“Whoa, whoa. Take it easy. You’re okay.”
The unfamiliar male voice had my lids fluttering as I jerked my eyes to the doctor’s face. My heart was racing, and I felt the need to run somewhere, but I had no idea where I was going or what I was doing. My head was pounding, and my mind was screaming out in pain.
“Where? What—”
Words caught in my throat as movement from the far side of the room drew my attention. My Master was there, leaning into the wall with his arms crossed over his chest. His face held little expression, but from what I could see, anger was most of it. My lips parted, only to press together as the pain in my wrists brought back why I was here to begin with.
“You lost some blood with these cuts, but I was told you passed out before you lost too much.” More pain in my wrist as he continued the stitches. “Can you tell me how you feel?”
“Angry.Betrayed.”
The doctor paused at the bitterness, turning to glance behind himself to look at my Master.
Still not much of an expression. Still mostly angry.
“What about physically? Aside from your wrists, have you had pain anywhere else? Have you been eating? Drinking enough water?”
“She eats just fine. Three meals a day. Two snacks. I make sure of it.”
“Of course, Sir.”
“Which is pointless,” I snapped. “Eating for what? For who? Nothing.”
“Laura.”
“Madeline.”
“Jesus. Just answer the doctor’s questions.”
“Why am I even here?”
Nothing. My Master refused to answer as the doctor moved on to the next wrist.
“So, you eat well. Have you had any falls lately? Hit your head? Had damage or accidents to your stomach or torso area?”
“No. Just the bruises and cuts on my entire backside. It’s all superficial. Sort of like my Master’s role as a husband.”His jaw flexed through the anger. “There’s nothing like what you’re referring to.” My head fell back on the bed, and I stared up at the ceiling, not sure what the hell I was going to do. Escape? Run away? How? I could excuse myself to the restroom all day long, but there was no way my Master was going to let me out of his sight after my blow up. Even now I continued to argue and throw jibes his way. What happened to the compliant slave? The doting wife? Maybe I had gotten a little too comfortable in that role. Did I really think I’d made my Master feel something for me? Did I think he’d actually let me have this baby and live? I guess I was that stupid. I thought maybe if I gave it everything I had…if perhaps I tried…
“Ouch, that hurts.”
My entire body jumped. Even numb, I could still feel slices of pain with tugging at my skin.
“Just a few more.”
I bit my lip as tears spilled over. I couldn’t hold in the small cry as he punctured through once more.
“Careful.” My Master’s towering frame was only a foot or two from the doctor. When he’d moved away from the wall, I wasn’t sure, but the speed was enough to give me pause.
“Until we get the blood results in, I’m afraid I can’t give her much more to help with the pain.”
My eyes widened in surprise. “You took blood? Are you looking for HCG?”
