Chapter 240: I Did My Research

Outside the building, Rose threw her braid over her shoulder and slogged through the water, wanting to cry and scream, but the tears wouldn't come.

"You are going the wrong way."

"I don't care." The water resisted her efforts to hurry, but she gritted her teeth and kept going.

"You are not to walk around on your own." He kept pace with her. "You are little and someone can run away with you."

She ignored him and kept going. Little? She'd show him little. And did he really think she'd allow anyone to just walk off with her? She'd made love with him, sat around a table and ate the food he'd provided. What did that make her? The way he'd talked to that man. She clutched her arms around herself. Is that what he thought of her, too? That she was a mere human and had to take his orders and bow and scrape to him?

"You are not to walk away from me like that," he said and caught her arm to hold her still.
