Chapter 93 Knock Knock

• Elena's Pov;
• They were hesitant at first but soon backed away and allowed the boldest to whip me. As soon as the lash hit my skin I gritted my teeth. It wasn't new to me, it was something I had to go through all through my life. The lash only reminded me of how numb I'd become towards whips. There was no reaction whatsoever given that it was what I'd known since I was a child. The lash came in steadily. Fifty-three lashes were nothing compared to the beatings I'd received from my father and uncle, for over twelve years.
• This was nothing. I knew my back was already bloody and I was breathing heavily. It stung badly. Then the poison was brought and this man didn't even spare me. He instantly poured it onto the wounds. That was when I screamed. No, I'd never felt this kind of pain before. Bullets, yes, whips yes, blows and punches? Yes. But poison? I looked up tiredly. My vision had gotten blurry but I was able to get a glimpse of Antonio's white knuckles. He was gripping the armrest as he watched me.
