When I woke up the next morning, my body ached in places I didn’t know were possible. It was like a throbbing reminder of everything that happened last night.
I stretched, wincing a lot as my muscles protested. My legs felt weak and I was sore as f**k. I should have felt embarrassed, maybe even guilty, but then I remembered Douglas’ face when I confronted him about cheating. He didn’t feel any remorse. He didn’t even act guilty. He just wanted me to pretend everything was fine and continue with the marriage.
I pushed those horrible thoughts out of my head and forced myself out of bed. The mirror reflected a version of me I didn’t recognize. My hair was messy, my skin was flushed but my eyes were brighter than normal. I looked alive. Dangerous even.
It had been so long
