"You're not going back." Kiran's nostrils flared. He was furious. "I don't care about that scientist, Zerena. You can't go back there. He had you raped!"
I was letting the treacherous tears silently run down my face as Kiran spoke. He paced in front of the bed, and I just watched him march back and forth. He had been more understanding than I thought he'd be. He didn't blame me one bit. He held me for a while as I sobbed, but once I calmed down, he riled up.
"I have to go back. I have to make sure he hasn't experimented on himself. I have to look at his research. I have to take him down, Kiran. If I truly want to be free of him, I have to take him down." I wiped my tears as I spoke, keeping my voice strong despite my emotions.
"Zerena, please." He knelt in front of me beside the bed.
