"Yes? What's wrong?" Samuel asked.
"Nothing, I'm just missing our child." Ella didn't specify which one, because she missed both of her children.
"I will pick Jerry tomorrow." The family would be together, finally.
Ella nodded. Samuel had hired servants, who took care of Jerry, when he was busy.
"I was so stupid in the past, Ella. Trust that I will never do such stupid things again."
Ella nodded. She really did want to trust him.
Silence enveloped the room as they both were immersed in their own thoughts. But for the first time, they were connected like never before.
Ella was very sleepy, so she prepared to cover herself with the quilt, but Samuel asked, "Ella, what should we do to Catherine?"
"Catherine? She has to experience what I went through."
Samuel agreed and kissed her.
"The first step?" He asked.
Ella relayed her plan unconsciously. "The first step, hire someone to rape her."
......
Ella's admission surprised Samuel.
Admiring her bravado, he asked. "How many people do you want to hire?"
Catherine had hired so many men to rape Ella, and it was only fair if she got the same treatment.
"A lot. Maybe some brawny guys.They are very good in bed." Ella answered carelessly, more interested in sleeping than their conversation.
Ella couldn't place where she had heard that fact from, but she pushed the thought away, and turned to sleep.
But Samuel had other motives. "Ella, what do you mean? Are you trying to say I am not strong enough?"
"Oh! Samuel! You are hurting me!" Ella opened her eyes and bit Samuel on his chest.
By doing this, Ella was just adding fuel to the fire.
"Stop sleeping!" He lifted her chin and made her look at him.
"You are so annoying like a fly. Leave me alone!" Ella slapped Samuel's head, and turned to cover her face with the quilt.
However, Samuel was angry. He pulled the quilt and threw it on the floor.
"Ah!" Ella screamed.
"Stop screaming! I haven't started yet. Save your energy. You can scream later if you want."
Samuel's pride had been wounded by Ella's careless comment. He wanted to prove to her that he was stronger than an African man.
Eyes wide open, Ella looked at Samuel in disbelief. She never thought that Samuel would say those dirty words, and wondered how could be say that in such a casual tone.
She thought about when she was with him the last time, remembering how passionate they were. She resorted to calming down.
"Dear Samuel, please let me go." Ella wanted Samuel to let her sleep.
"Okay, answer my question and I will let you go." Actually, he didn't want to let Ella go.
"Ask then!"
"How do you know that brawny men are good in bed?"
"I just heard about it."
