Chapter 37 The Power He Has Over Me

• Anastasia's Pov
• I had just taken a warm shower and my body was still damp from all of it. I looked at my reflection in the mirror situated in front of the dressing table and it reminded me of Jace's and I fight the previous day. I shook my head as though that would cleanse the memory from my brain.
• I grabbed a bottle and applied cream on my entire body. Then I looked at the mirror and saw a bruise on my forehead which was caused by Jace slamming my head into the dressing table. There were also multiple bruises on the sides of my face which made me feel hideous. My hands also had their share of bruises which made me feel weak and useless because it was a symbol of my inability to protect myself in front of Jace. I grabbed onto the dressing table and cried and when I got tired of it, I, myself went to wash my face and apply makeup to cover up the bruises but unfortunately, I couldn't get rid of the bruise on my forehead so I intensified it with the art of my makeup. Then I added a little dot at the side of my lip and I felt that it was better, aesthetically pleasing.
