But I didn’t want to. Nora deserved that slap and I wouldn’t be sorry for it.
My stubbornness provoked Samuel. He gave in to Nora’s request and signaled his bodyguards to come.
In the next second, I found myself on the floor with Samuel’s bodyguards pinning me down. My strength left my body after that hard slap I gave Nora. I couldn’t even struggle from their grasp, not that I wanted to.
Nora walked toward me with a viscous grin. She raised her hand and slapped me several times until my lips bled.
I tasted the blood flowing out of the corners of my mouth as I sat down in discomfort, saying nothing.
Samuel looked at me and said, “You owe this to Nora. Apologize to her now and I will pretend this never happened!”
A mocking laugh came out of my mouth. “You wish!”
Samuel frowned and continued, “As long as you’re obedient, I will give you everything you want, Juliet… Including marriage. Have you thought it through?”
Liar!
He didn’t want to give me what I wanted. He only wanted to please Nora and kept coming back to her.
Whatever he wanted to offer me, I didn’t want them anymore. Was he thinking I was still desperate to have him?
