Marinette Dupain-Cheng had tried her best to live in the boxes her ex had so carefully constructed for her. Organized. Tidy. Presentable.
“Think about your image.Think about the fans, the press, your career!”
But Marinette wasn’t organized or tidy and she certainly wasn’t presentable. She was a failure and, though she knew she’d never get better if she didn’t keep up with the work he’d put into her, one more strike of his hand felt like it could lead her to somewhere dark. Somewhere dangerous. Somewhere she wouldn’t ever recover from. And so she fled.
