---- 218.


    CHEAT X CHEAT SILAS I took a deep breath, calming the chaos within me, resolute, just like when I used to swallow my hatred over and over again, plotting my revenge for some distant day.


    I owered my hand, blood dripping from my nails, some torn down to the flesh.


    This kind of pain didnt affect me anymore.


    I picked up the mask and stared at it, my finger tracing the carved patterns on the dark wood.


    I just needed to be smarter, make my calctions in silence, and wait.


    Finally, I walked back to my room, ready to be the most disobedient ve of them all once again spb SIGRID Iwas having a terrible time, by the Goddess, I barely sleptst night.


    I felt a fire burning between my legs, making me boil with the need to scream from an orgasmor better yet, several.


    Tost count of how many cold baths I took, how many times I touched myself, writhing with unsatisfied desires.


    This relentless craving for something to fill me just wouldnt stop.


    ---- I cursed Electra, this world, and the moment I agreed to this madness.


    Thinking back to my intimate encounters with Ss didnt help maintain my sanity either.


    I got out of bed after sleeping, at most, an hour.


    Iwalked to the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror.


    I was amessmy skin shiny and sticky with sweat, dark circles under my eyes, and my hair looked like a bird''s nest.


    Goddess, when would this torture end? The easiest thing would be to grab one of Electras countless insignificant ves to satisfy my body, but I refuse to force anyone.


    My mind kept drifting back to Ss.


    No, no, no.


    I have to keep my distance.


    This game with Ss is dangerousit wont end well for him.


    I dont want him getting attached to Electra.


    Tpulled the cord near my bed to summon the servants through a magical device.


    I gave my orders and instructed them to send the new ve.


    Thad to pretend I cared somehow.


    Grimm was now confined to the stables as punishment, but that didnt mean he wasnt keeping an eye on the mansions affairs.


    Iwas brushing my hair when there was a knockat the door.


    ---- Come in, I ordered, sitting at the vanity, running the brush through my hair.
