"Don't be rude to a girl, Edward. You know what? Girls are delicate. We must be gentle to them. Moreover, we have to satisfy their vanity. How about asking some men to serve her?" Rain followed Edward behind, but not as fast. No one could ignore a conspicuous figure like him. As soon as he was quiet, Louisa felt completely deflated. Her arrogance was gone.
"What do you want to do? My father is a commander. How dare you take such liberties!" Horrified, Louisa shrank back against the wall. She looked at Rain in a panic, fearing that he would act on his threat and let men violate her. She wasn't stupid. She certainly knew what Rain meant.
"Do you hear what she said? Her father is a commander," asked Edward, lightly shaking his head accompanied by exaggerated gestures. But even so, he still looked handsome.
"So what? That's none of my business! Bring me a bucket of water. Fill it with ice cubes, please," said Rain, wearing a mischievous smile. He could be as scheming as Edward if he wanted to.
"Come on, Rain. You just said I was rude to her. What do you want to do? Do you want to give her a cool shower?" Edward sneered. It was a good idea. His wife had only warned them not to hurt Louisa, but that didn't bar them from giving her a cool shower, if they wanted.
"You have no idea, Edward. It's a very comfortable shower. Leena can't enjoy it alone. It has to be shared. Miss Ye should enjoy it too." At his words, Rain extended his hand to cup Louisa hard at the chin. The dark, expressionless face he wore looked as if it was carved of stone, his smile bone-chilling. He withdrew his hand and took out a tissue to wipe it as if he just touched something dirty.
"How dare you! Leave me alone! Give me back my phone. I want to call my father. You two bastards!" A shiver ran through Louisa as she heard what Edward and Rain said. It was hard to imagine the bone-chilling feeling of ice cubes being poured on her body.
"You're right. We're bastards. It's just the beginning. There's something gratifying in our twisted way waiting for you," Edward said indifferently. Seeing Louisa grapple in the claws of fear delighted him.
"Why, why do you do this to me? I'm not your enemy." It scared Louisa stiff, especially when she saw someone really brought a bucket in. Fear eating at her guts made her stomach churn in intense cramps. The terror running through her body made her feet twitch, her whole body trembling as if she was already dying of hypothermia.
