“I repeat: I don’t need anything. Just let me go. Why do you need a woman who feels nothing for you?” I say, hoping to convince him.

“Girl,” he smirks cynically, looking down at me. “Your feelings are not interesting to me. I care only about your body and obedience. Leave your feelings to yourself—I make no claim on them.”

“No,” I answer stubbornly, clenching my lips as anger grows.

“How will you be able to look your wife in the eyes afterwards?”

“Her feelings also shouldn’t worry you. Keep your mouth shut—you’re allowing yourself too much!” he threatens, lowering his voice.

“I’m ready to tolerate any of your whims, but not pride. Don’t try to jump higher than your head—it won’t work, and falling will hurt.”
