Blatant lies 2

**Araya POV

My heart pounded in my chest, the weight of his words pressing down on me like a vice. His grip on my waist felt unyielding, like a manacle, and the fear in my veins coursed through me, numbing everything else.

I tried to gather my thoughts, tried to make sense of the situation, but every time I opened my mouth, the words caught in my throat. He was right - there was no room for negotiation. I had no power, no control. All I had left was my survival instinct, and that wasn't enough.

His hand tightened around my arm, pulling me toward the door. I stumbled behind him, my mind reeling. I could still taste his vile kiss on my lips, still feel his hands on my body, and it made me sick. It was a violation that I would never forget. He was forcing me into a world I didn't belong in, a nightmare I couldn't wake up from.

"Move," he growled, his voice cold as ice. "And don't even think about trying to run."
