Excerpt
"Why did you come to Wonderland tonight?" he asks.
I don't want to lie but I'm not sure I know the exact reason myself.
"Curiosity," is all I can come up with.
"Curious about Wonderland or about me?"
"Both," I confess. "But..."
"But?"
"You aren't what I thought you'd be."
he gives another one of his sinful smiles that sends a chill through me. "And what did you think I'd be like?"
"Not a finger-cutting psychopath."
He laughs loudly. "That was me being merciful. It was just an appetizer to what I can truly be."
"I need to go," I say, though the worlds don't come out as forceful as I want.
"Let me tell you what you're going to do. You will walk out this door beside me with your head held high and a pep in your step and not a care in the world," Nick says with an evil smile that he's mastered.
"I won't," I say calmly, though how I manage to do so, I have no idea.
"You think that the scene between Maxim and me was bad? You have no idea just how quickly I can get all eyes on me beyond that door. You need to let me leave Wonderland. Alone."
I have no idea where I'll go, or what I'll do. But the suffocating feeling of not having any choice, and having my future dictated to me is too much. I need space. I need quiet. I need a place to come up with a plan. Even if it's from the back seat of my car.
"You will soon learn it is you who will be taking orders from me. Not the other way around."
