My heart swells for my girl even as my stomach knots. She’s trying to be tough. To prove that she can take whatever he does to her. Either that, or she’s given up. I don’t even want to think about that. They said she had already tried suicide once before she arrived at Dollhouse. She hasn’t tried inside of Dollhouse yet if he said she was still fighting him.
He pushes the needle through her septum, and her eyes scrunch shut while he pushes the silver ring in simultaneously. Evan starts to screw the silver ring in place as he says, “Now, typically, a septum is pierced with a sixteen or an eighteen gauge. This is a 14-gauge. And in a few weeks, I will stretch it to a 12-gauge. It will be painful but doable, of course. You will be unable to remove it, for it is permanent and will be up to your owner’s discretion.”
She still had it on the night of the Isabella. I thought it was dainty and cute. Now I feel sick to my stomach seeing why she had it.
Tears run out the corners of her eyes, and she breathes heavily through her freshly pierced nose. “Take her back to her room,” he orders, removing his gloves and walking to stand back at the counter behind her.
The kid undoes the restraints and lifts her to stand from the chair, but her legs give out and she falls to her knees.
“Sir?” he asks, stepping back from a shaking Eve.
Evan walks back to her. He grips her hair, shoving her face to the floor. Crouching beside her, she shoves her ass and pussy up in the air, and he runs his hand between her legs and brings it to his face, rubbing his wet fingers together. “Came all over your toy like a good whore.” He pulls her to standing by her hair, and she screams into the gag before Evan shoves her into the guy. “Return her as is.”
“The collar, sir?” the kid asks cautiously.
“Just as she is,” Evan shouts at him.
“Yes, sir.” He nods and pulls her out of the room as the door shuts behind them.
Evan adjusts his noticeably hard dick in his jeans. “Teach the bitch to fucking bite me.”
The video goes black just as my cell vibrates in my hand. I ignore it, knowing it’s Bill.
“What do you have to say about this?” Haidyn barks at Isabella.
She looks away from him, but he grips her face, forcing him to meet her stare. “You let that piece of shit torture my sister?”
She smiles, though it’s not friendly. “So you’ve met your father’s whore?”
“How about this… Everything we watch him do to her, we do to you,” he offers, and her face pales.
My phone vibrates, and I see it’s a text from Easton.
When you have a second, give me a call.
“Kash—”
I ignore Saint and shove open the door to the stairs, going up the first flight, coming to the landing, I press my back to the wall and slide down to sit on my ass. I try and catch my breath. I’m fucking shaking I’m so mad. What I saw…I hate it for Eve. Hate that I can’t change it. That no matter what I say, I can’t save her from herself.
I go to Sin’s number and press Call, placing my cell to my ear.
“Hey,” he answers softly.
I clear my throat. “Hey. Everything okay?” I ask, thinking something is wrong with the babies. I’ve been hiding out with Eve and haven’t had a chance to be there for him or Elli since Devin and Gavin delivered them.
He sighs. “Yeah. I’m calling to check on you and Eve. How is she doing?”
I slam the back of my head into the wall and look up the flight of stairs. “I don’t know,” I answer honestly. She’s kept so much bottled up for so long. At some point she’s going to explode. And what is Evan doing? Why now? She’s gone years without remembering much from Dollhouse, and now he wants her to? Does he think he still has some kind of hold over her and that she’s going to go crawling back to him? If that’s the case, he fucked up. Now that she remembers, she despises him more than ever.
“Remember when I had you take Elli to that appointment?” he asks, interrupting my thoughts.
“Yeah.”
“Well, you took her to a therapist…” He trails off.
“Just spit it out, Sin.” I sigh, running a hand down my face.
“We don’t want to overstep, but we want to offer help in any way we can. Elli has an appointment tomorrow, and if Eve would like to take it, Elli will call and speak to the doctor. Explain the details…without giving any information about Eve, of course.” He pauses. “But I understand if that’s too much—”
