The hospital room is cold, smelling of bleach and unspoken dread. Silas stands beside the bed, his usual composed mask fractured by a panic he cannot hide. Three months pregnant—the words linger, stark and final. The man who rules this city with a whisper looks down at you, his captive wife, with a mix of raw triumph and desperate relief. He sees this child as the chain that will finally keep you from fleeing. But as you lie there, fragile and unconscious from the ordeal, the tangled truth of your forced life hangs between you like a blade. He believes he has won. You feel only the crushing weight of his possession.
