I seized the chance to send Eamon my location, but before I could hit send Caspian caught me.
“Loviisa, you will only ever belong to me.”
“Since you don’t care about Nico, we’ll have another baby. And another. And another–until one finally ties you to me.”
Caspian’s eyes were dark and intense, yet razor–sharp with determination.
He started tearing at my clothes, his teeth grazing my neck.
“You used to love me,” he rasped against my skin. “Why the fuck are you so heartless now?”
I struggled against him as his legs pinned mine down.
“You’re so fucking self–centered, Caspian. Someone like you doesn’t deserve my love!”
But then–he doubled down.
The same way he had on our wedding night.
My pleading hadn’t sparked any mercy in him then–it had only made him angrier, more brutal.
I could feel his hands sliding up my thigh, his breath hot, erratic-
Slap.
In our struggle, I slapped Caspian hard across the face.
“Don’t fucking make me hate you.”
The coldness in my eyes wounded him, but it only made Caspian more aggressive.
Just as his hand was about to slip under my dress, I grabbed scissors from the nightstand and stabbed them into his abdomen.
When blood gushed out, I dropped the scissors in horror.
Caspian staggered, but instead of anger, a twisted smile curled his lips.
“Lovi, if this makes you feel better–if this helps you forgive me–I don’t mind you doing it again.”

He pulled out the scissors, blood soaking through his white shirt.
I ran for the door in panic, but he blocked my escape.
“Loviisa… please. Punish me however you want. Just don’t leave me.”
Caspian grabbed my hand and aimed the scissors at his stomach again, ready to plunge them in.
“Caspian, have you completely lost your mind?”
I yanked my hand away, and the scissors clattered to the floor.
Caspian looked at me with anguish written across his face.
“I lost
my mind two years ago,” he whispered. “Without you, what’s the point of living?”
Before I could process what he was doing-
He grabbed the blade and aimed it at his own stomach.
“If you won’t forgive me, then I’ll die right here, in front of you.”
