[JER]
"You can't do that. You can't tell her that. You cannot, I forbid you," Jer whimpered as he tried to get a footing. He was weak and frankly, if he were anyone else, he could have long given up, but he couldn't afford to give up, not when he had a woman to live for.
He had to fight for his Malika and make sure that she was okay. He didn't give two shits about himself as long as she was okay. And if that meant pleading with Mbali not to hurt his women then he would do it without a doubt.
He would crawl and beg like anyone in his state would.
"How pathetic. You warriors can clearly hear you being beaten and none of them cares—" Mbali said only to be interrupted by a meek voice in the distance.
It was a familiar voice that got her smiling at Jer who was still pleading with Mbali to not tell her. Then again what was the point of that at the moment when it seemed like Malika had been her all along?
