The two women curled on the floor in violent spasms, veins bulging on their foreheads as an excruciating agony made them wish for death right then and there.
The hidden punishment was exactly that—invisible. It inflicted an unfathomable torment, leaving victims begging for mercy, yet it left absolutely no physical wounds. No medical examination could ever trace the cause of their suffering.
Writhing on the ground, completely consumed by the unnamable pain, they directed every ounce of their seething hatred toward Seraphina.
Cynthia despised her. If Seraphina hadn't pinpointed Lily's exact location so quickly, she wouldn't be enduring this hell.
She had purposely ordered her men to send Seraphina the video of Lily being attacked by dogs. She wanted to shatter her, to savor the sight of Seraphina crumbling in pure despair.
She had been so sure the hideout was perfectly remote, the signal too weak for anyone to trace in time.
But Seraphina had tracked them down with terrifying speed.
Now she was the one being punished, and it was entirely Seraphina's fault!
Lauren harbored an even deeper venom for her.
She had worn a flawless disguise. Nobody should have been able to identify her.
Yet Seraphina had instantly picked her out from the security footage, tracing the breadcrumbs straight to Lily, ruining their entire operation, and landing Lauren a needle in the neck today.
It was all Seraphina's fault.
The two women lay convulsing on the floor, enduring bone-deep torment, letting their hatred for Seraphina fester in their very marrow.
...
Seraphina spent the next few days recovering in the hospital.
Her daily routine consisted almost entirely of sitting by Lily's side, talking to her.
Lily lay motionless in the bed, tethered to an array of tubes and monitors, her small face devastatingly pale.
No matter how much Seraphina spoke to her, the little girl offered zero response.
Every time Seraphina stepped out of that room, her eyes were red-rimmed. But the moment she returned to her own suite to wash her face, she forced herself to look completely composed.
She refused to believe those two women had nothing to do with this. She was going to find the evidence.
