The Mistress

Stacey thinks her life reaches a peak when she meets a wealthy man. It really shows how easily a person can trade their autonomy for a bit of comfort.

“He was the sun and I was merely a planet revolving around him.”

Adam seems like the perfect escape from a boring routine. You start to see how his charm is actually a very effective tool for control.

Living in that luxury apartment felt more like a cage than a home. It makes you realize that being hidden away is its own kind of punishment.

“I chose not to see what was right in front of me.”

Stacey ignores so many red flags because she wants the dream to be real. We all have that capacity to lie to ourselves when the truth is ugly.
