Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Est-ce que tu vas bien?” I turn around and see a tall, dark-haired man standing behind me.
Take away what they want the most from you.

“My policy is never explain, never complain. Just makes things worse.”
“If you got on your knees, I might not turn to other women.”
“I take my wedding vows seriously. And I won’t be going to other women when I can have you.”
“Watch your tone if you want to keep your teeth. Nobody talks to my wife with disrespect.”
I wasn’t kidding about destroying him if he doesn’t stay away. Actually, I’m going to go ahead and do that anyway, since it’s the least he deserves.
“He’s being insubordinate, talking to you like that. You’re entitled to get rid of him for creating a hostile work environment. This is your kingdom, Luce. Defend it.”
“Look, I’m not dumb enough to stay on the wrong path when somebody points out a better one. Pride matters, but it isn’t that important.”
“Only the people who are close enough to stick a knife in your back can betray you.”
The truth will set you free.
“You are worth it, Lucienne Peery. You are the prize. I can do this over and over again until you believe that.”
“You’re the moon in my night sky. I’m just putting a few stars around you so you can shine even brighter.”
