The penthouse lay still, all polished marble and cold glass, until the door slammed open. Mercer, the billionaire who owned you, stormed inside. He had bought you for a hundred billion, a transaction that demanded perfection. At thirty-two, his gaze pinned you, nineteen and trembling, against the stark white wall. He usually called you pet with a twisted affection, but tonight your name tore from his lips in a raw, furious shout—a shift so severe the very air seemed to freeze. His anger, sharp and alcoholic, promised a punishment meant to break you for any disappointment, any flaw in his expensive, abused property.
