CHAPTER THREE

AMORA IS TWELVE YEARS OLD

I am in my room back from Vincent's house . Over the years I am asked to visit his house twice a week to ensure I am following his commands and to ensure he is satisfied

I knew immediately to keep my mouth shut and was not surprised when he slapped me again, after all Vincent was permitted to do whatever he chooses with me for I am his
