Status Update

The air in the office felt heavy with anticipation, a mixture of warmth and electric tension. It wasn’t hostile—more like a game in progress, playful yet charged, the kind of atmosphere where power and desire seemed to hum through every surface. Rachel sat at her desk, a smug smile playing on her lips as she leaned back, watching Anita fidget with the hem of her blouse. The once-dominant woman had transformed, now hesitant, shy, and eager to please.

"You're getting better at this," Rachel teased, reaching out to brush a strand of hair from Anita’s face. "But you still have a long way to go."

Anita swallowed hard, her cheeks flushing. "I just want to do well for you."

The door creaked open, interrupting the moment. Garrett stepped inside with his usual confidence, hands in his pockets, a knowing smirk on his face. Anita immediately stiffened, her brows furrowing in confusion as she glanced between him and Rachel. "Why... why are you walking around so freely?"

Garrett sighed, his smirk darkening as his eyes narrowed, shaking his head with a hint of menace, clearly done indulging her confusion. "You ask too many questions, Anita," he muttered before uttering a single, sharp word—her trigger.

Anita’s posture immediately slackened, her eyes glazing over as she fell into instant hypnosis. Her lips parted slightly, but she remained utterly still, waiting. Garrett chuckled, tilting his head as he examined his work. Rachel, watching from her desk, smirked and leaned back, clearly entertained.

"You really do love your little tricks," she mused, tilting her head to observe Anita’s frozen state.

Garrett stepped forward, running a hand down Anita’s cheek before tilting her chin up. "She’s still a work in progress," he murmured. "But she’s coming along nicely."

His fingers trailed down Anita’s arm as he enjoyed how she remained utterly motionless, awaiting his command. He could feel the last traces of resistance eroding away, but she still wasn’t quite there. Not yet.

Rachel crossed her legs, smirking. "Give me a few more weeks, Garrett. She’ll be perfect for you soon enough."

Garrett sighed, amusement laced with satisfaction. "She’s not quite done yet," he admitted. "But she’s close. You’re doing good work."

Rachel gave a small, triumphant smile, standing up to circle Anita slowly, her mind racing with satisfaction at how far Anita had come and how delicious it felt to mold her into Garrett’s ideal. "Breaking her has been fascinating. She fights it internally, but every day she gives up a little more. I don’t think she even realizes how far she’s fallen."

Garrett raised a brow. "And how much longer until she’s fully mine?"

Rachel tilted Anita’s head gently, looking into her blank, unseeing eyes. "Not long now. Just a little more reinforcement. Give me time to finish reshaping her. Soon, she won’t remember a time before you."

Garrett chuckled darkly, his eyes gleaming with control and anticipation, fully aware of how close he was to complete dominance. "Good. In the meantime, organize a meeting with all my bitches. My release is coming soon, and we need to be ready. I want a full status update."

Rachel nodded, her grin widening. "Consider it done."

Garrett cast one final glance at Anita, still standing motionless where she had been left, her mind awaiting its next command. He smirked. The pieces were falling into place—soon, everything would be exactly as he had planned.

Dear readers,

I wanted to share a quick update with you all. I’m slowly finding more time to write again, and with that comes the space to really reflect on the story and where it’s heading. Don’t worry—it hasn’t slipped out of my hands. But I have to admit, I feel like it’s become a bit too bloated: too fast, too many characters, and even with Garrett as a character, I’m not entirely satisfied.

I’m thinking about either continuing this story while trying to fix these issues, or perhaps switching gears to focus on something simpler—a straightforward mind control story about a woke neighborhood being taken over, similar to The New Coach. I’m also considering returning to The BWC Chronicles and finally write some chapetrs there.

In the meantime, I highly recommend you check out My Family’s New Faith by gothamalleyviper. I’m currently writing a few chapters for it, and I’m really enjoying how balanced and fun that story is. Gav’s idea for it is brilliant, and I think you’ll enjoy it too.

I’d be thrilled if you stopped by and gave it a read!
