Julie felt a wave of indignation wash over her, and in a fit of rage, she knocked over the meal Rowan had brought her.
No way was she going to eat that.
Rowan wasn't having any of her tantrums, though. He left her with just one meal a day, letting her learn the hard way what hunger really felt like.
Julie was starving, but no matter how much she yelled from the cellar, Rowan didn't so much as flinch.
After a day without food, Rowan returned to find that Julie had even eaten the meal she had spilled on the floor.
He sneered, "With smarts like yours, it's a wonder you're still around. Count your blessings."
Julie was on the verge of another outburst, but Rowan's cold stare made her bite her tongue.
Swallowing her anger, she demanded, "How long are you going to keep me locked up? This is just like being in prison."
"You're pregnant, Julie. You can't do anything right now," Rowan said, his face expressionless. "Once you've had the baby, you'll be free to do whatever you want."
Julie frowned, "What are you, some kind of human trafficker? Planning to sell my baby?"
Rowan just stared at her.
"I rescued you from the cops for the sake of the baby? With brains like yours, you think you can be the lady of the Salstrom family? You're dreaming," he scoffed.
Julie's face turned crimson with anger. "Then what are you planning?"
"You'll find out soon enough."
Rowan couldn't understand why Herman had told him to save such a clueless woman.
After that, Julie didn’t dare spill her food again and spent her days quietly in the cellar.
Rowan tossed her a stack of books, telling her to read them to prepare for when she could leave.
