Favourite Girl

She was taken at six.

By twenty, she has learned how to survive-how to stay quiet, stay useful, stay alive. In the London underworld, they call her the favourite. It sounds like protection. It isn't.

She watches everything. Learns the rules. Becomes exactly what they need her to be.

Until the night she chooses something else.

Sixteen girls escape.

She doesn't.

A year later, she gets out.

But freedom is not safety. London is just another kind of maze, and the man who built her life is still watching.

Because men like him don't forget.

And this time, survival won't be enough.
