"Very well, just like Molly said, you make arbitrary judgments and do whatever it takes to achieve your goals. No wonder she hates you so much."
He shook his head, a mocking smile lifting the corners of his mouth. The flames in the brazier grew higher with his repeated movements.
Gabriel took a burning charcoal and walked slowly to me. He gently stroked my cheek and traced my lips with his finger. His tone was icy. "A selfish and deceitful woman like you doesn't need to look good. It's just a pity that you've got a good voice."
I trembled all over. "What are you going to do?"
He snorted and his eyes instantly became fierce. He grabbed my chin, forced my mouth open, and put the burning charcoal in my mouth!
My mouth started to bleed!
It hurt like hell!
The burning pain from my mouth spread down to my esophagus. Gabriel punched me again and again, causing my stomach to churn.
I curled up in pain and screamed, tortured to the point of biting my tongue off.
He slapped me hard, forcing me to remain conscious and look into his eyes. "You can't fool anyone anymore."
