Secret Craving

They are 'partners'. And yet, there is nothing in this world Michael would more love than throw her to the sharks. He doesn't believe a word that leaves her mouth. And despite the sickening chill in his stomach, he has a pervert craving to cause her tremendous pain for what she did to Sara.

Michael observes at the sneering woman in front of him closely.

She is pretty by nature, yet she hides behind a thick mask of make-up.

She is smart, yet she underestimates others, which is her weakness.

She plays her cards well and holds them tight to her chest.

In another life, she might have been an actress. Her expression always impenetrable, never giving away any secrets, she'd probably be a successful one. In fact – Michael muses - she would make an exquisite villain.

She might have a house somewhere in Beverly Hills, maybe a dog or two she would take a hike with. She may even be a loving mother.

But that's another universe. In this one, Michael looks into Gretchen's sneering face and he feels hate and resentment towards this cold-hearted bitch. Every time he looks into those icy-blue eyes, he sees a predatory hunger and a challenge to play her sick-minded game. His hate rises to a level where he must either strike her hard or walk away the furthest possible.

And all along, his mind rings with a distinctive cracking sound of a sharp whip, slicing through the most delicate and gentle flesh.
