The beautiful woman stepped closer and held her hand against her chest. "My name is Vanessa. I'm Anthony's sister. The man you met earlier."

Anthony.

"He asked me to bring you these." She held up the clothing. "He asked me to help you. Please let me help you."

I scrutinized her face with my gaze, studying her. If he asked her to help me, I would be disobeying by not allowing her to. I had no choice but to allow her to help me.

Tightening my grip on the jacket some more, I nodded hesitantly before climbing off the bed.

My gaze met hers, and she placed her arm around my shoulder. "You have nothing to fear from us, Anna. We only want to help you."

"He gave me my new name."

Her dark eyebrows slanted inward. "Who did?"

"My new master. But he doesn't want me to call him Master."

"Who are you talking about, Anna?"

I gave her a half smile. "Your brother."
