Chapter 19
Katrina’s POV:
I walked into Silas’ office, feeling uneasy. It was like a lamb walking into a lion’s den, and I was most certainly not the lion.
Rachael had heard about what happened almost immediately and she practically dragged me here to apologize.
Silas’ cold eyes followed me as I walked closer, the door shuitting with a heavy thud.
As usual, his eyes held no emotions and I couldn’t tell what he was thinking.
I waited for Silas to say something, to ask why I was there. But a few minutes ticked by and we were still staring at each other awkwardly.
I couldn’t take it any longer, I had to be gone as soon as I could. So I swallowed thickly and finally spoke
“I came to apologize,” I said, forcing myself to hold his gaze.
I know Mafia lords have a thing about someone in a lower rank holding eye contact. But I didn’t care, he was my husband. At least in theory. Although he doesn’t feel a thing for me, he was still my husband and we were on the same rank. At least in theory.
Silas didn’t seem the least bit bothered about it. He barely acknowledged my words as I stood there quietly, waiting for him to say something. Sitting a few meters away from me, I could feel the aura and authority he radiated, and for some reason, something turned in my stomach. Well
ell get on with it then, apologize, He waved me dismissively, folding his hands across his chest as he waited.
It seemed just like the type of thing he would like.
I gritted my teeth in annoyance, bowing my head.
Im sorry, I spat out, the words feeling like concrete in my mouth
I wanted to raise my head, but I still remembered Rachael’s warning as she pulled me here.
Don’t raise your head till he says he has forgiven you
I didn’t know why she would tell me such, but I just had to do it.
in his tone but I kept my head down. I could feel the smirk on his face even without seeing the sarcasm and mockery
“It must be demeaning for someone of your status to bow her head for someone else.” I could
1. it.
How it feels to apologize to someone when you don’t mean it. Who knows this might be the only thing you have ever said the word ‘sorry’ to someone, His words stung, but I kept quiet. He didn’t know the half of it.
I wanted to tell him just how wrong he was; the memory of when I had begged and apologized filled my mind.
Buy I didn’t.
I just let him say whatever he wanted.

Chapter 19
“If you want to apologize, then do it well. Get on your knees, Sils ordered.
My head whipped up. “What?”
He stared at me, his eyes burning with something intense. I couldn’t tell if it was anger or something else, but I knew he wasn’t joking.
“Go ahead. And do it,” He stared at me intently, waiting
My heart pounded in my chest, and for a moment, I thought about refusing.
Why was I wasting much time by turning around and storming off? What he was doing was degrading me.
But something in his gaze, the weight of his authority, crushed my defiance. With my jaw clenched and my hands fisted at my sides, I sank to my knees “That’s a good girl,” He murmured, his lips pulling into a smirk.
Was he… Praising me?
The unexpected praise sent a shiver through me. I hated how much my body responded to him.
And I could barely believe it. I hated this man, despised him. But yet here I was.
“Spread your legs apart and place your hand on your thigh with your palm facing upwards, Silas ordered once more and I pushed myself to my feet.
“Are you insane?” I hissed at him. But something inside of me flickered. Was it fear or excitement? I hated that I couldn’t tell the difference between the two at this point.
His eyes told me that he was anything but insane, a fire burning in them.
I knew what that position was. Give it to days of reading BDSM books.
But how could he ask me to present?
“I’m not your sub Silas,” I bite back with annoyance,
But deep down, something flickered in me. A spark lit up in the pit of my stomach, and I feared it was going to turn into a raging fire.
“Do you want me to punish you?” His voice was low, dangerous. He stared down at me, his presence overwhelming, and I knew he was serious.
My body betrayed me before I could argue. The pit of my stomach churned with a heat I couldn’t ignore. I hated him for the way he affected me. But more than that, I hated myself for wanting it.. Silas and his emotions have me a whiplash. First, he was angry and turned me into a maid.
Then he went ahead and asked me to present like I was his sub, let’s not forget the way he stared at me right now.
As if he wanted to fuck me.
And God, did I want that just as much?
“You’re wasting our time, Katrina, Silas said in a stern voice, and I plopped to my knees.
Keeping them apart, I placed my hands on my thigh with my pam facing upwards just like he said.

Chapter 19
“You’re such a good girl Silas praised once more, and for some reason, I hummed in satisfaction.
The humiliation of it burned through me, but so did something else. Something dark and twisted. I didn’t understand it, but I couldn’t deny it either.
I didn’t understand what was wrong with me, but I liked it
Who would have thought this would happen?
I came to apologize to him but I was on my knees for a different reason
Suddenly, he pushed himself up from his chair, walking toward me with the predatory grace that always made my pulse.
Tace.
I should leave.
Every instinct I had screamed at me to get out of here. Run. Before this went too far.
