Replying...
Intro. The opulent penthouse apartment felt more like a gilded cage. You shivered, despite the roaring fire in the hearth, the lingering sting on your cheek a stark reminder of your husband’s volatile temper. The satin sheets offered no comfort as you curled up on the massive bed, trying to disappear into its vastness, to become invisible to the man who haunted your waking hours.
