Chapter 5

I strode through the dim corridor.

Drunken laughter and teasing echoed endlessly around me.

My chest felt tight; I desperately needed fresh air.

It wasn’t until I walked out the club doors that I let out a long sigh.

To clear my head, I didn’t call a car and walked along the road instead.

But I hadn’t gone far.

A car suddenly pulled up beside me.

I stopped instinctively, felt for the phone in my bag, and pressed my emergency contact.

Alexander.

The next second, several masked men rushed out of the car.

A sack was thrown over my head, a sharp pain hit the back of my neck, and I blacked out.

When I woke up, I was in an abandoned factory.

My hands and feet were tied tightly, and I was suspended in mid-air.

A man in black spoke: “Lower her.”

Chapter 5

I was suddenly dropped down a bit.

With a cloth stuffed in my mouth, I couldn’t make a sound.

Only if they removed the cloth could I figure out their motive and find a way to stall and escape.

But before I could react, a burly man slapped ine hard across the face.

The blow left me dizzy and seeing stars.

The man, wearing a mask, spoke:

“Ms. Bennett, sorry about this.

We’re just doing a job for money. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for messing with the wrong person.”

“A message from our boss: behave yourself, take these hundred slaps, and you can leave safely.”

“If you dare to scream or call the police, he guarantees you’ll live in fear every single day.”

I was in pain and terrified, tears welling up in my eyes,

The man gestured to the security camera overhead:

“Sir, can we begin?”

A response came from the other end:

“Yeah.”

Chapter 5

My whole body stiffened, as if struck by lightning.

Even though it was just one word, I recognized Alexander’s voice.

My mind instantly understood.

He hired people to kidnap me and slap me a hundred times.

He was taking revenge for Efrain.

I bit down on the cloth, whimpering at the camera.

He truly loved Efrain to his very core.

He couldn’t stand seeing her suffer even the slightest grievance.

But I never imagined that just because I slapped Efrain once, he could

be this ruthless.

Even if he didn’t love me.

I had at least been completely devoted to him for five years, dating him

for three.

Even if he didn’t care about me, I was still his good friend’s sister.

How could Alexander treat me like this!

I struggled desperately, crying out muffled screams, hoping he still had a shred of conscience.

There was no further sound from the monitor as slap after slap fell

upon me.

My face went from swollen and painful to gradually numb.

Blood trickled down from the corner of my mouth.
