"You can't do that," Fiona stuttered, but the steady, merciless look in Anna's eyes made her throat dry.
Fiona had always believed she held the reins of Anna's life. That illusion shattered now. The woman standing before her was no longer someone she could corner or humiliate. This Anna was different. Dangerous.
"Then I suppose I'll show you," Anna said calmly, her thumb hovering over the screen.
Blood roared in Fiona's ears. Panic clawed up her chest as she lurched forward. "No!" she cried, the word tearing out of her.
Anna paused and slowly lifted her gaze. Fiona stood trembling, her face drained of color, eyes bloodshot with terror as they locked onto Anna's.
"I'll do it," Fiona whispered at last, breath coming out in ragged gasps. "I'll do exactly as you say."
A slow, satisfied smirk curved Anna's lips. She locked her phone and slipped it away, her silence far more terrifying than any threat.
