Where No Light Falls

Summary

When my family’s company went bankrupt, I agreed to my ex-boyfriend’s terms.

I performed for him, mimicking the girls in the kinds of videos men watch when they're alone, all to please him.

Shame warred with a desperate sense of relief. Tomorrow, the investment would come through, and my father wouldn't have to go to prison.

After the third time, applause echoed from the other side of the bedroom mirror.

“Did you hear those noises Eliza just made? I could feel it through the glass.”

The hair on my arms stood on end. Behind me, Hugh Vance let out a low groan as he finished.
