---- 302.
DARK SEDUCTION - THE DEAL.
IN THE ELEMENTAL REALM, BEFORE SILAS OPENED THE BARRIER TO THE SUPERNATURAL REALM KATHERINE The stench of dampness and rot clung to every corner of my small "room "or rather, the cell that held me captive, hidden from the world.
Thugged myself, curled up in a filthy corner, trembling, pressing my knees to my chest.
My wrists were raw from the chains, my bare feet covered in grime, and my skeletal body barely concealed by a tattered white gown.
My teeth chattered against the gag that kept me silent, my entire system drugged to the brink by the powerful sedatives that he injected into me.
Laurence.
My caretaker or, more accurately, my personal executioner in this prison.
I struggled to take in a deep breath.
It felt like I was suffocating, my congested chest rising and falling slowly as my mind started to drift.
Thated feeling like this, hated how my will to hold onto life faded more and more along with my strength.
Footsteps echoed in the distance, and I tensed with hatred.
It was probably him.
What was he up to today? Tonly hoped he wasnt coming to do disgusting things to my body.
To survive in this Retirement Hospital, I had endured unspeakable things just to get a single plate of warm food after days of starvation.
The lock rattled with a metallic clink, and I thought I heard voices outside.
---- glared at her with pure hatred.
I weighed my options, contemplating whether I could lunge at her and strangle her with the chains that bound me.
I loathed her with every fiber of my being.
My breathing turned ragged as rage overtook me, my vision turning red.
My fists clenched so tightly my nails dug into my skin.
How dare she stand in front of me?! HOW DARE SHE?! "T know exactly what youre thinking, Katherine," she said with unbearable calm.
"I didnt come here for forgiveness.
I know what I did to you is beyond redemption." Ijust stared at her.

I couldnt speak, but I screamed at her in my mind.
The lump in my throat grew heavier, and the storm raging inside me threatened to tear me apart.
"You dont need to stain your hands.
Fate has already taken care of that," she said as she began unfastening the luxurious buttons at the neckline of her sapphire-blue dress.
She loosened the silk laces of her undergarments.
I had no idea what this bitch was trying to do.
"Tm dying, as you can see," she murmured, finally peeling back the fabric and revealing the darkened veins, twisted like cursed tattoos over her pale skin.
"T dont know if I was infected by the dark mist that lingers in the air, surrounding the realm, or if...
its that thing.
And because I never knew how to handle it, never accepted it, this is happening to me." That "thing" was magic.
The very magic that had gotten me locked away in this asylum by our ---- From behind the leather mask covering my entire face, my eyes flicked toward the entrance.
Something was happeningthis was different from the other days.
Then, before I even saw her, I smelled her.
A floral scent filled the air, and my heart pounded in recognition.
The sharp click of heels echoed over the stone tiles, and she stepped into the cramped, miserable space.
Her chestnut hair was elegantly styled, her matching brown eyes swept the cell with disdainuntil they landed on the beast crouched in the comer.
Me.
Her eyes widened in shock, but she quickly concealed it behind that mask of hypocrisy.
"Do you want me to stay with you, Duchess...2" "T already said I dont want my status or name mentioned," she cut him off coldly, pulling a delicate handkerchief from her lavish gown and pressing it to her nose in disgust.
"Leave us alone.
