Chapter 66

Morning arrived without mercy. There was no clinking of Vanessa’s coffee cup, no muted morning radio humming from the penthouse kitchen to mark the quiet onset of a normal day. Only the harsh, white glare cutting through the bare windows of my room, paired with the cold, familiar...

Chapter 68

She sat in the armchair, one leg draped casually over the other, tracing the tip of her foot across my lower lip until my mouth parted on its own. Loona slid her toes inside—slow, unmistakable—letting them rest there as naturally as if this space belonged to her, just like every...

Chapter 70

The night had not been sleep, but a thick, feverish wait. Every time I turned on the thin mattress, the resin cylinder ground dryly across raw flesh. Fourteen days without the faintest relief left my pelvis throbbing in dull, burning waves. Every involuntary swell pressed immedia...

Chapter 72

Outside, the noises finally subsided into heavy, rhythmic breathing. The sofa upholstery creaked one last time, followed by the shuffle of footsteps against the hardwood. The dull rustle of clothing, the clinking of a belt buckle, and muted voices drifted from the hallway. "That...

Chapter 74

The coffee machine in the kitchen gurgled softly while thin morning light cut through the blinds. Quarter to seven sharp, the table was set: fresh fruit, two mugs, the plate positioned with exact alignment just as she demanded. With every step, the base ring of the resin fixture...

Chapter 75

The morning unfolded in a thick, numbing trance. At the gym, every single repetition on the leg press had become an exercise in pure torment. With every descent of the sled, the narrow stainless-steel ring bit deeper into the raw skin of my pubic bone—rigid and sharp—while the m...

Chapter 77

Dinner was steaming on the kitchen counter when the deadbolt turned in the latch. Loona entered with soundless strides. She wore her long wool coat unbuttoned over a dark blouse, her bag slung casually over one shoulder. She spared no glance for the laid table, nor for the pans...

Chapter 78

The Berlin U-Bahn ride felt like an endless journey through a feverish tunnel. Every stride along the platform, every descent onto the hard plastic seats drove the stainless-steel ring straight through stiff denim into my pubic bone. The chill of the metal had long since surrende...

Chapter 79

The weeks following that rain-slicked Friday blurred into a grueling, silent routine. What had initially felt like an emergency state had quietly hardened into daily life—an existence suspended between submission, manual labor, and a brittle public facade. These were the final tr...

Chapter 80

Late summer in Berlin hung heavy over Kurfürstendamm. Heat rose from the asphalt, crept beneath the thin fabric of my beige chinos, and made the stainless-steel cylinder at my pubic bone throb like molten lead. With every step across the broad pavement, the thick paper shopping b...

Chapter 81

The sharp click of Vanessa’s heels against the hardwood signaled our undoing before the front door had even swung shut behind us. With a deep, released groan, she kicked the expensive pumps from her feet, tossed her handbag onto the console table, and strolled into the living roo...

Chapter 82

The cool, tiled corridors of the Charité historic wing smelled of floor wax, disinfectant, and damp autumn rain. Freshers crowded every corner—excited voices, rustling notepads, shoes clicking against the terrazzo floor. I hurried past them with stiff, awkward strides, eyes fixed...

Chapter 83

The wooden folding seat cut into my thighs without mercy, the weight of my torso driving the steel rig deeper against my pubic bone with every breath. The narrow strip of lace between my cheeks had long since become a searing garrote, pulling tighter at every microscopic shift....

Chapter 85

The heavy double doors of our apartment slammed shut behind me with a dull, hollow thud. I leaned back against the cold, lacquered wood of the hallway wall, gasping hoarsely and staring down at my trembling hands. The rain had drenched my bare torso, icy drops trailing across my...

Chapter 86

Loona pressed the buzzer without taking her eyes off me. The shrill hum of the door latch died away, followed by the dull thud of the building’s heavy front door echoing from the stairwell below. "Stay exactly like that," she said quietly, her voice brooking no movement. "Not a...

Chapter 89

The sharp chime of the institute clock jolted the hall from its lethargy, yet for me it sounded the signal for the next gauntlet. While the others hurried to pack their laptop bags, groaned over Weber’s questions, and pressed toward the cafeteria, I remained rooted against the b...

Chapter 90

The stairwell of the Altbau smelled of floor wax, cold stone, and the distant aroma of sautéed garlic drifting down from the second floor. That scent had once marked the familiar threshold to comfort, but today every single worn wooden step felt like a calculated sentence. My th...

Chapter 91

Emma shoved me roughly into the bedroom. My knees protested at every step with a dull, sickening burn, the heavy cylinder knocking against tortured tendons. "On your knees in front of the bed. Right now," she hissed. Her voice lacked the cutting composure she had wielded at the...

Chapter 100

After breakfast, Timo and I headed out. The sky above Berlin was draped in that typical pale grey of early autumn, but the crisp air was a welcome relief after the stifling, charged atmosphere of the flat. We dropped the clattering empties at the corner supermarket, packed two c...

Chapter 102

The next two hours on the sofa stretched out like thick, amber syrup. The drinks ran low, the bass from the speakers sank deeper into the upholstery, and the conversations drifted into that smoky, unfiltered late-night murmur. Loona and Timo had drawn close together. She sat ang...
